510 Batteries

There used to be very little to choose from when buying a 510 battery. Usually it was a basic pen, one button, a few voltage settings – that's about it.

Not anymore.

Our 510 battery collection has grown into everything from tiny everyday batteries to models with screens, large-capacity batteries, auto-draw devices and some pretty unusual designs. We carry options from Yocan, Pulsar, Ooze, Smyle Labs, Nova, Big Fun and other brands, with new models showing up regularly.

All of them are built around the familiar 510 thread connection, but that's pretty much where the similarities end.

Choosing a 510 Battery

The easiest way to choose one is to think about what you actually want from it.

If you don't like clicking buttons, start with an auto-draw 510 battery. Prefer having control over when the battery fires? There are plenty of button-activated options.

For cartridges where you want more control over power, look at variable voltage batteries. Some people care more about battery life – that's where our high-capacity 510 batteries make more sense.

We've separated the collection into seven sections so you don't have to scroll through everything:

Premium, Auto-Draw, Button Activated, Discreet, Variable Voltage, High Capacity and Preheat.

Or ignore the filters and browse all of them. Sometimes that's easier.

From a Basic 510 Pen to… an Inhaler?

This is probably the part of the collection that has changed the most.

We still carry traditional 510 pen batteries and compact everyday models. But now there are batteries designed like car keys, inhalers, lighters, highlighters and markers. Some hide most of the cartridge inside the body, while others don't even look much like a traditional battery anymore.

Then you have models with displays, precise voltage adjustment, preheat functions and larger batteries.

Do you need all of that? Probably not.

But if you use 510 cartridges regularly, choosing the right combination of size, controls and battery capacity can make a noticeable difference.

What Does 510 Thread Mean?

510 refers to the threaded connection used between the battery and a compatible cartridge. It's an extremely common format, which is why there are so many different batteries built around it.

That doesn't mean every cartridge will fit every battery, though.

This usually isn't a problem with a traditional exposed 510 connection. With concealed batteries, physical dimensions matter more. A cartridge can have the correct thread and still be too wide or too tall to fit inside the device.

It's worth checking before ordering – especially if you're using an oversized cartridge.

Auto-Draw, Preheat or Variable Voltage?

These features sound more complicated than they really are.

Auto-draw means the battery activates when you inhale. No button.

Preheat gives the cartridge a short heating cycle before use, which can be helpful with thicker oils or a cartridge that has been sitting for a while.

Variable voltage lets you change the battery's output instead of using one fixed setting. Some batteries offer only a few preset levels; others give you much finer adjustment.

And yes, one battery can have several of these features at the same time. That's why the categories overlap a little – they're there to help you narrow things down, not force every battery into one box.

510 Batteries from Yocan, Pulsar, Ooze & More

There's a pretty big difference between a small inexpensive 510 battery and one of the newer premium devices.

Yocan, Pulsar and Ooze cover a lot of the familiar formats, while brands such as Smyle Labs, Nova and Big Fun have pushed the category into some much less conventional designs.

We carry both.

If all you need is a reliable little battery, you don't need to spend a lot. If you want a screen, more precise controls, a larger capacity or just something that looks different – there are options for that too.
