Novelty 510 batteries prove that your vape hardware doesn't have to be boring. These are fully functional, rechargeable 510-thread batteries wrapped in fun, creative, and sometimes downright wild designs — from adorable animal shapes and glowing lightsabers to batteries disguised as everyday objects like pens, lip balm, car keys, and permanent markers. They deliver the same variable voltage, preheat, and USB-C charging you'd expect from any quality 510 battery, but they do it while looking like something you'd display on a shelf, clip to a lanyard, or show off to friends.

Novelty batteries have exploded in popularity thanks to brands like Lookah, Smyle Labs, Ooze, Wulf Mods, and Iconic, who've figured out how to combine genuine vaping performance with designs that spark conversation, double as collectibles, and in many cases provide better disguise than purpose-built "discreet" batteries. At DiscreetSmoker.com, we carry a growing selection of novelty 510 batteries across every style — cute, cool, funny, sci-fi, and functional disguise.

Types of Novelty 510 Batteries

Animal & Character Batteries — Shaped like bears, turtles, cats, snails, and other creatures, these batteries use soft food-grade silicone or glass housings to create collectible designs that conceal your cartridge inside the body. LED eyes or face indicators show voltage and battery level. Popular with collectors and anyone who wants their vape to be a conversation piece rather than something to hide. Lookah dominates this category with their Bear, Turtle, Cat, and Snail lines.

Everyday Object Disguises — Batteries designed to look exactly like common items: working ballpoint pens, lip balm tubes, permanent markers, car key fobs, lighters, and more. The cartridge hides completely inside the disguise, making these some of the stealthiest batteries available. Unlike typical "discreet" batteries that just minimize their profile, these actively look like something else entirely. Smyle Labs pioneered this category with their Penjamin line.

Sci-Fi & Pop Culture — Lightsabers, rayguns, wands, and other fantasy-inspired designs with LED lights, sound effects, and theatrical glow-on-firing effects. These prioritize the "cool factor" over stealth — they're designed to be noticed and enjoyed. Smyle Labs' Danksaber and Raygun are the standouts.

Multi-Function Novelties — Batteries that do more than just vape. The Ooze Movez combines a 510 battery with a Bluetooth wireless speaker. Some novelty batteries include working pen tips, LED flashlights, or other secondary functions. These blur the line between vape device and gadget.

Mushroom & Nature Shapes — Organic, nature-inspired designs like the Wulf Mods TRYP mushroom battery. Whimsical shapes that stand out on a desk or shelf while functioning as full-featured 510 batteries.

Why Choose a Novelty 510 Battery?

Disguise and discretion. Object-disguise batteries like the Penjamin, Lip Balm, Car Key, and VLT Lighter offer a level of stealth that traditional "discreet" batteries can't match. A slim black box might be discreet, but a pen that actually writes is invisible. These batteries don't just minimize attention — they actively redirect it.

Self-expression. Your vape hardware says something about you. A Lookah Bear or Danksaber lightsaber reflects personality in a way that a plain pen battery never will. Novelty batteries let you match your hardware to your style, interests, and sense of humor.

Collectibility. Many novelty batteries are designed as collectible sets — Lookah's entire animal line (Bear, Turtle, Cat, Snail) is meant to be collected, and they look great displayed together. Limited colorways and seasonal releases add to the collector appeal.

Gifts. Novelty batteries make far better gifts than standard hardware. A Lookah Bear or Smyle Labs Raygun is something the recipient will actually be excited to open. They're fun, personal, and don't require the giver to know the recipient's exact vaping preferences.

Conversation starters. Whether it's the Ooze Movez speaker pumping music at a party or a Danksaber glowing during a draw, novelty batteries create social moments that plain batteries don't.

Do Novelty Batteries Actually Perform Well?

Yes. The biggest misconception about novelty 510 batteries is that the fun design comes at the expense of performance. In reality, the major brands in this category — Lookah, Smyle Labs, Ooze, Wulf Mods — build their novelty lines on the same internal hardware they use in their standard batteries. You get the same quality heating elements, safety circuits, and 510 threading wrapped in a more creative housing.

Lookah's animal batteries, for example, feature 350–750mAh capacities, three to five voltage settings, USB-C charging, and preheat functions — specs that compete directly with dedicated performance batteries at the same price point. The Lookah Cat's 750mAh battery and five voltage levels are actually more capable than many "serious" batteries costing the same amount.

The one area where novelty batteries may involve trade-offs is size and portability. A Lookah Bear is bulkier than a Yocan Kodo Pro. A Danksaber lightsaber won't slip into a tight pocket. The trade-off is intentional — the design IS the product. If you prioritize compact portability above all else, a standard slim battery is the better choice. But if you want performance plus personality, novelty batteries deliver both.

What to Look for in a Novelty 510 Battery

Cart compatibility and size limits. Novelty batteries come in all shapes, which means cart fitment varies more than with standard batteries. Check the maximum cartridge diameter and height before buying. Lookah's open-top animal designs (Bear, Cat) accept even oversized 2G–3G carts. Enclosed disguise designs (Penjamin, Lip Balm) typically max out at 1G standard-diameter carts. The Permanent Marker Penjamin is an exception, accepting carts up to 4G.

Variable voltage vs. fixed voltage. Most current novelty batteries offer at least three voltage presets. The Lookah Cat leads with five. Fixed-voltage novelty batteries are increasingly rare but still exist in some ultra-simple designs. Variable voltage is worth prioritizing for flexibility with different cart types.

Battery capacity. Ranges from 350mAh (Lookah Snail 2.0) to 750mAh (Lookah Cat). Larger novelty batteries like the Bear (500mAh), Cat (750mAh), and Ooze Movez (650mAh) handle full-day use easily. Smaller disguise designs like the Lip Balm Penjamin will need more frequent charging.

Build material and durability. Lookah uses food-grade silicone for their animal lines — soft, squeezable, and drop-resistant. Smyle Labs uses durable plastics with soft-touch finishes. The Pulsar VLT uses metal lighter construction. Consider how the device will be carried and handled when evaluating build quality.

Stealth vs. show. Decide whether you want a novelty battery that hides in plain sight (Penjamin, Lip Balm, Car Key, VLT) or one that stands out and starts conversations (Danksaber, Raygun, Bear, Movez Speaker). Both are valid — they just serve very different purposes.

Novelty 510 Battery FAQ

What is a novelty 510 battery?

A novelty 510 battery is a fully functional rechargeable vape battery with a universal 510-thread connection, wrapped in a creative, fun, or unusual design. These include batteries shaped like animals (bears, turtles, cats, snails), everyday objects (pens, lip balm, car keys, markers, lighters), sci-fi props (lightsabers, rayguns), and multi-function gadgets (Bluetooth speakers). Despite their playful appearances, they deliver the same variable voltage, preheat, USB-C charging, and cartridge compatibility as standard 510 batteries from the same brands.

Do novelty 510 batteries work as well as regular batteries?

Yes. Major novelty battery brands like Lookah, Smyle Labs, Ooze, and Wulf Mods use the same internal components and safety circuits as their standard battery lines. You get proper variable voltage, preheat, overcharge protection, and consistent 510 threading. The Lookah Cat, for example, offers 750mAh capacity and five voltage settings — specs that match or exceed many dedicated performance batteries at the same price. The novelty design is the housing, not a compromise on internals.

Will my cartridge fit a novelty 510 battery?

All novelty batteries use standard 510 threading, so any 510-threaded cartridge will connect. However, physical size matters more with novelty designs than standard batteries. Open-top designs like the Lookah Bear and Cat accept even oversized 2G–3G carts with no diameter restrictions. Enclosed disguise designs like the Smyle Labs Penjamin Cart Pen and Lip Balm typically fit 0.5G and 1G standard-diameter carts. The Permanent Marker Penjamin fits carts up to 4G. Always check the listed maximum cart dimensions before purchasing, especially for enclosed designs.

What is a Penjamin?

A Penjamin is a term coined by Smyle Labs (a play on "pen" + "Benjamin") for their line of 510 batteries disguised as everyday objects. The original Penjamin is a fully functional ballpoint pen that conceals a 510 battery and cartridge inside — twist the tip and it actually writes. The Penjamin line has since expanded to include a Permanent Marker, Lip Balm, Car Key fob, Danksaber lightsaber, Raygun, Mini Plug, and Pursejamin purse battery. The term "Penjamin" has also become an informal category name used by retailers and consumers to describe any novelty or disguised 510 battery, regardless of brand.

What is the most discreet novelty 510 battery?

The Smyle Labs Lip Balm Penjamin is arguably the most discreet because it's buttonless (auto draw only), tiny, looks exactly like a standard lip balm tube, and comes with a matching carrying case. The Car Key Penjamin is a close second — it looks like an ordinary key fob and can ride on your actual keyring. The Pulsar 510 VLT lighter is also extremely stealthy since nobody questions someone carrying a lighter. Among non-disguise novelties, the Lookah Turtle is the most discreet animal battery because its magnetic shell fully conceals the cartridge.

Does the Penjamin actually write?

Yes. The Smyle Labs Penjamin Cart Pen is a fully functional ballpoint pen with replaceable ink cartridges — twist the tip to extend the pen point and write normally. The Permanent Marker Penjamin also writes with included marker tips. These aren't decorative props; they're genuine dual-function devices. You can take notes, sign receipts, and jot down a phone number with the same device that holds your 510 cartridge.

What is the Ooze Movez speaker battery?

The Ooze Movez is a 510-thread vape battery with a built-in Bluetooth wireless speaker. Connect it to your smartphone to play music while you vape. It features a 650mAh battery, 510 magnetic adapter, auto draw activation (no button needed to vape), LED light ring that displays rainbow colors during music playback and hits, USB-C fast charging, and 10-minute auto shut-off for power conservation. The vape function works independently of the speaker, so you can use it as a regular 510 battery without playing music. Available in 8 colors.

Does the Danksaber lightsaber battery actually glow?

Yes. The Smyle Labs Danksaber features LED lighting that glows when you fire the battery — the lightsaber blade illuminates during your draw for a dramatic visual effect. It's available in four colors (Blue, Green, Purple, Red) that correspond to different "blade" glow colors. The Raygun Penjamin takes it a step further with both LED lights and sound effects during activation. These lighting features are intentional design elements, not indicators — they're meant to be fun and theatrical.

Are Lookah animal batteries collectible?

Yes, and Lookah designs them with collectibility in mind. The Bear, Turtle, Cat, and Snail are part of an expanding animal lineup, each available in 8–10+ colors, with new animals and colorways released periodically. Many users collect the full set — Lookah's own product pages suggest pairing the Cat with the Bear, for example. The soft silicone construction, LED personality features (eyes that change color, face indicators), and lanyard attachment points make them display-friendly. Limited and seasonal colorways add collector value.

Do novelty 510 batteries make good gifts?

Novelty 510 batteries are among the best gift options in the smoking accessories category. They're universally compatible with any 510 cartridge (so you don't need to know the recipient's exact setup), they're visually exciting to unwrap, and they express thoughtfulness beyond a generic vape pen. The Lookah Bear and Cat are popular gift choices for their cute, approachable design. The Smyle Labs Penjamin Cart Pen works well for practical-minded recipients. The Danksaber and Raygun appeal to sci-fi fans. The Ooze Movez Speaker is a crowd-pleasing party gift. Most novelty batteries fall in the $15–$35 range, making them accessible gift options.
