510 Thread Battery Products

What is 510 Thread Vape Pen Battery?

510 thread battery is usually pen shape and size designed to work with 510 thread cartridges for oil, e-liquid, or concentrate. Those vapes carry from 250mAh to 1200mAh and more power. These batteries are equipped with the industry-standard, universal 510 thread to be used with the same thread carts, tanks, and atomizers. Overall, we recommend this product as an economical option. It’s a great battery that provides decent temperature options and powerful hits with such a compact design.

What Does 510 Thread Mean?

You might be asking yourself, “why was it named 510 thread?”. The term “510” was used for vape pen batteries and cartridges because most of the connectors are 5 MM in diameter and have 10 screw threads. This allows for a tight connection and one that will last a long time. 510 thread vape pens are among the most popular in the industry because of their ability to work with so many kinds of carts and batteries interchangeably.

If you’re looking for a vape pen battery that has a universal connector, the 510 thread is as close as it gets. Although 510 threads are incredibly popular and a standard for most vape pens, there are some vape pen products that use proprietary connections that are still very reliable too.

For Box Vape MOD and Vaporizers

In some cases, like in mini-MOD vapes, the battery and cartridge snap together using a magnet connector. Even these magnet adapters must contain some sort of thread to mount to the vape cart, and most likely it is going to be a 510 thread.

For Typical Vape Pens

The standard connection type for vape pens and carts is typically a screw-on type which is exactly what 510 thread is. It’s an industry standard that you will see across most of the vape pen batteries that have detachable carts.

In most cases, when you hear the term 510, it’s referring to the connection type used for a vape cartridge or a battery. Most vape pens consist of those two core parts, the battery, and the tank. There are many different types of batteries and cartridges that all serve different purposes but generally, they all work the same way. The battery is used to heat up the concentrate or oil inside of the cartridge by means of electric heating.

Different Types of 510 Threads

There are 2 different types of 510 thread connectors that you will see on most vape batteries on the market. Although both are using the same thread, the connector itself is slightly different.

Type-C Connector Type-C Connector The most common type is the type-C which is now vastly used thread type in most 510 batteries and vaporizers. Type C connectors are usually flat, with thread connectors embedded into the surface of your vape battery or MOD. When you screw your cartridge or tank down into the surface of your vape, you're making more solid and reliable assembly.

eGo Connector Ego type connector is similar to the standard type C but it has a different thread location around the side and is known as the 510 eGo thread. Both the eGo and type-C vape battery thread work great. We carry many vapes and cartridges that use 510 thread and will work with both: type-C and eGo connectors. However, if your battery, MOD, or tank are designed for the eGo thread only - we have a solution for that too. Check out the 510 to EGO Thread Adapter offered right on our web store. 

510 Pen Battery Functions & Specs

Battery Capacity and Types

Just like most vape batteries, they are usually lithium-ion and rechargeable, typically with a USB charging cable. Less common mod vape batteries are Alkaline or NiMh. Depending on the battery’s capacity, some batteries can last longer than others. Battery capacity is measured in milliamp-hours and in most cases vape batteries range in size from 250mAh to 850 mAh. 

Variable Voltage Functionality

Some batteries have a feature known as “variable voltage” which allows you to regulate the heating strength with a dial or with buttons on units that have an interface. Variable voltage vape pen batteries allow you to dial in the perfect temperature for specific types of concentrates to provide better taste. We carry several vape batteries that have variable voltage which you can purchase directly from our website.

Advantages of 510 Thread Vape Pens

Preheat Functionality for oils and concentrate atomizers.
Aside from the battery voltage regulation, another great feature that some 510 vape batteries offer is preheating functionality. The pre-heating vape pens are usually made for thick oils or wax atomizers that require low heat. We carry many vape pens and batteries that have a pre-heat feature which you can view on our web store.

If you’re looking for a 510 battery or complete vape pen (or both) that is universal and can easily be swapped out to work with other carts and batteries then 510 is definitely the way to go.

Compatibility – The main advantage of having the industry-standard 510 thread battery is the fact it will work with all vape carts on the market. If it is a 510 cart – simply screw it in and vape away.
Lightweight – 510 vapes are one of the lightest vaping devices out there. In comparison to full-size MOD vaporizers which might weigh even 1 pound or more, the typical 510 vape weighs just as much as a typical AAA battery.
Portability – Small portable size of these vapes makes them perfect for the on-the-go lifestyle and travel.
Ease of Use – Simply screw-in your tank and press the button. It does not get simpler than that.

Here at Vape HoneyStick Canada, most of our products work with 510 thread and many of our customers ONLY buy 510 thread components because they want to know that they can use their parts interchangeably with what they already have. 510 is the new standard and is unlikely to be going away any time soon. We strongly recommend 510 threads for all your vaping devices because they’re effective, long-lasting and the most versatile type of connection in the vape market.
