Premium 510 Batteries

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a 510 thread battery?

  A 510 thread battery is a rechargeable power source that connects to any cartridge with 510 threading, the universal standard in vaping. The name comes from the spec itself: 10 threads at 0.5mm each. Because the connection is standardized, your battery works with virtually any 510 cart on the market.

• Where to buy a 510 thread battery?

  Discreet Smoker stocks 510 thread batteries from the brands that actually last: CCELL, Yocan, Hamilton Devices, and Pulsar. Every order ships in plain unmarked packaging with zero branding on the outside.

• How to use a 510 thread battery?

  Screw your cartridge into the threading at the top until snug. Don't crank it down. Click the power button 5 times to turn the battery on, then hold the button while you inhale. Buttonless models activate automatically when you draw. Five clicks again turns the battery off.

• How do you charge a 510 thread battery?

  Plug the USB cable into a standard power source. A computer port or 1A wall adapter is ideal. Avoid fast chargers, since the higher amperage shortens the cell's lifespan. A full charge takes 1 to 3 hours. The LED turns green or shuts off when it's done.

• How long does a 510 thread battery last?

  Per charge: 350mAh covers a day of light use, 500mAh handles moderate use, and 900mAh or higher lasts several days. Overall lifespan is typically 1 to 2 years of regular use. To stretch that, don't run the battery flat and don't leave it on the charger overnight.

• What does mAh mean for a 510 battery?

  mAh stands for milliampere hour. It measures the cell's total capacity, or how much charge it holds. Higher mAh means longer runtime between charges. It has no effect on hit strength. That's controlled by voltage.

• Why is my cartridge not hitting on my 510 battery?

  Four likely causes: the cart is screwed in too tight (back it off a quarter turn), the center pin is recessed (gently lift it with a paperclip), the connection plate is dirty (wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab), or the cart is clogged (try the preheat function). If none of that works, the cart itself is defective.

• Why is my 510 thread battery blinking?

  Three blinks signals a short circuit. Remove the cartridge and reattach it. Four blinks means low battery. Ten or more rapid blinks usually means the cartridge is screwed in too tight or the atomizer has failed. If the blinking continues across multiple cartridges, the battery itself is failing.
