Batteries

In short, there are two different “types” of batteries when it comes to e-cigarettes. Some, more powerful e‑cigs, require an external battery. These most often come in sizes 18650, 26650, 20700 & 21700.

E-cigarettes that are slightly less advanced and require a bit less power have a built‑in battery that charges via USB‑C.

There is also a combination of these two, i.e., an e‑cig that supports both an external battery and an internal one (charged via USB‑C).

Which battery should I have for my e‑cig?

The choice of battery for your e‑cigarette depends on several factors, including the type of e‑cigarette you have and your personal preferences. Before purchasing a battery for your e‑cigarette, it is important to check which type of battery fits your device. Most e‑cigarette batteries use lithium‑ion cells and are available in various sizes and capacities.

We recommend that you contact our support if you feel uncertain.

What battery types are available?

A common size for e‑cigarette batteries is 18650, but there are also other common sizes such as 21700 and 26650. The size and capacity of the battery affect how long it will last between charges. If you want longer battery life you can choose a battery with higher capacity.

What is AMP?

Amp stands for ampere and is a unit of electric current. In relation to e‑cigarette batteries and vaping, amperes are often used to describe the battery’s “maximum continuous discharge current”, which indicates how much current the battery can deliver without overheating or being damaged. This is important to consider when choosing a battery and when building your own coils on an e‑cigarette.

What is Watt?

Watt is a unit of power used in electricity and electronics. In vaping, watt is used to describe how much power is delivered from the e‑cigarette’s battery to the heating element in the tank. The higher the wattage, the more vapor and flavor will be produced.

When vaping, you can adjust the wattage to tailor the experience. If you use a sub‑ohm tank with low resistance, higher wattage is usually required to achieve the desired amount of vapor. If you use a tank with higher resistance, you may need lower wattage to avoid burning the coil and to achieve optimal flavor and vapor.

Some e‑cigarette models have automatic watt adjustment that automatically adapts the power to the tank’s resistance, while other models require manual adjustment of the wattage.

Battery safety

Battery safety is an important factor to consider when handling e‑cigs. Since some e‑cigarette batteries are rechargeable and are used close to the user, they can cause serious injury if not handled properly. To avoid hazards such as overheating, explosion or fire, one should always use batteries that are of high quality and from reliable manufacturers.

Other ways to ensure battery safety include avoiding overcharging and over‑stress by only using recommended chargers and charging cables. It is also important to store batteries safely, Use some of our battery cases, to avoid short‑circuiting or damage to the battery.

If you notice any signs of damage or wear on the battery, such as cracks, dents or leakage, you should stop using the battery immediately and replace it with a new one. By following these guidelines, one can ensure a safe and trouble‑free vaping experience.

Battery wraps

A battery wrap (battery case) is a thin, plastic‑coated film that covers an e‑cigarette battery. Battery wraps are important for battery safety because they protect the battery from short‑circuiting and other damage that can occur if the battery comes into contact with other metal objects or if the plastic coating is damaged.

When the battery’s original wrap becomes damaged, cracked or worn, it can expose the battery to danger. Having an intact battery wrap is therefore essential to ensure the battery is safe to use.

If a battery wrap becomes damaged or worn it should be replaced. Replacement wraps are available in our online range. Check dimensions and product information to choose a wrap that fits the battery.
