1. Introduction

Vaping has become a popular alternative to smoking cannabis, and for good reason. Vaping allows users to inhale CBD or other substances in a vapor form rather than smoke, which can be harmful to the lungs. Vape carts, also known as cartridges, are the containers that hold the vaping liquid, and they are attached to a vape cart battery. In this article, we’ll focus on vape cart batteries, which are an essential component of any vaping experience. With the rise of disposable CBD pens, we feel that dedicated batteries are a much more environmental option. Allowing the user to keep the battery for many months and years of repeat use, compared with the single use alternatives for disposable CBD pens.

2. What is a Vape Cart Battery?

A vape cart battery is a rechargeable battery that powers a cannabis vape cart. The battery connects to the vape cart via a threaded connection and supplies the necessary voltage and wattage to heat up the coil, which turns the vaping liquid into vapor. A good vape cart battery should be reliable, durable, and easy to use. Look out for battery displays which are handy way of keeping track of your battery percentage just like on a smartphone. Look out for USB-C recharging options as well as pre-heat functions. All tie together to make a fantastic vaping experience for CCELL style ceramic carts we provide.

3. Types of Vape Cart Batteries

There are two main types of vape cart batteries: button-activated and draw-activated.

Button-Activated Batteries

Button-activated batteries have a physical button that you press to activate the battery and start vaping. These batteries are more customizable because you can control the temperature and wattage settings with the button. They’re also generally more powerful than draw-activated batteries, which means they produce more vapor. We focus on button activated here at UK Vape carts.

Draw-Activated Batteries

Draw-activated batteries don’t have a physical button; instead, they activate when you inhale on the vape cart. These batteries are more straightforward to use because there’s no button to press. However, they’re generally less powerful than button-activated batteries, which means they produce less vapor. We do not sell any draw activated batteries, but there are good options available on the market.

4. Voltage and Wattage: What You Need to Know

Voltage and wattage are two essential factors to consider when choosing a vape cart battery.

Variable Voltage Batteries

Variable voltage batteries allow you to adjust the voltage output of your battery. Increasing the voltage will increase the amount of vapor produced, but it will also drain the battery faster. Lowering the voltage will produce less vapor but conserve the battery’s charge.

Variable Wattage Batteries

Variable wattage batteries allow you to adjust the wattage output of your battery. Increasing the wattage will also increase the amount of vapor produced and will have a similar effect on the battery as increasing the voltage.

5. Battery Capacity: Milliamp Hours (mAh)

Battery capacity is measured in milliamp hours (mAh) and indicates how long your battery will last before needing to be recharged. The higher the mAh rating, the longer your battery will last. Look for around 400mAh or greater for a battery that would last a full day for cart uses.

6. Battery Size and Compatibility

Battery size and compatibility are important factors to consider when choosing a vape cart battery. Not all batteries are compatible with all vape carts, so make sure to check the specifications before purchasing. Additionally, battery size is important because it affects how well the battery fits into your vape cart. Some vape carts are designed for smaller batteries, while others can accommodate larger ones.

  • Check the battery connections and make sure they’re clean.
  • Make sure your battery is fully charged.
  • Try adjusting the voltage or wattage settings.
  • If you’re using a draw-activated battery, make sure you’re inhaling with enough force to activate the battery.
