The obvious disadvantage of using a mod with an internal battery? However, they’re widely used in phones, laptops etc and are perfectly safe provided the device you’re using has adequate protection circuitry. In fact, researching this battery type you’d be forgiven for thinking it may try to kill you while you sleep and steal your car… It’s recommended to charge until the battery is at full capacity but not essential if you’re in a rush.Ī word of warning though you’re not supposed to leave the mod unattended while charging. Internal batteries use LiPo (Lithium Polymer) which a quick Google search will tell you is NOT particularly safe chemically. You just charge, using the supplied charging cable, and vape. With internal batteries, there’s very little to worry about. Now we’re going to look at the many different types of vape battery available and the terminology used… Internal: Ok, so now that’s out the way, how do I know what vape battery to choose? Vape Battery the options Essentially, protecting the vape battery (and your fingers!) from damage, explosion etc. This is generally driven by parameters set on the mod to determine voltage or power drawn. Or worse, damaging your fingers!Īs mentioned, the other option is a regulated mod, in which the vape battery drives a ‘Chip Set’ within the device, regulating the current drawn to the coil. Without an understanding of vape battery dynamics and Ohms law, you could end up damaging the battery. A mechanical mod takes power DIRECTLY from the vape battery, which means it’s important to know that the battery is capable of providing the current required to fire the coil. Something to keep in mind one crucial difference when talking about mods and batteries is the difference between a mechanical mod/hybrid mod and a regulated mod.

This in turn will vaporise the e-liquid stored in the tank and provide the vapour you’ve been so desperately waiting for! The coil has a specific resistance and when this voltage is applied to it, current is drawn from the vape battery to heat it. This passes voltage to the 510 connector, which is applied to the coil in your tank. The battery within the mod (whether internal or external) is operated via the firing button. Within reason, these various parts are interchangeable different tanks can be used on different mods and work via the same method. Designed to hold the vape battery and any electronic components to allow for variable power, safety features (such as short circuit protection) etc.Ĭlearomiser/Tank your tank of choice houses the coil, wick and e-liquid which screws into the housing via a 510 thread.ĭrip Tip which connects to the tank and allows the lucky user to inhale that sweet (or sour, I won’t judge!) vapour. Housing basically the mod itself, either a simple tube mod, EGO Pen, box mod etc. So…Īny setup you use is essentially comprised of the following parts: If we’re going to look at batteries, we need to first at least understand how they function as part of your vape setup. So, let’s get the basic stuff out the way… Ok, let’s start from scratch There are literally thousands of different mods on the market! Some designed to produce a seriously huge amount of power/watts!Īs such, the demand placed on your vape battery of choice is increasing with each new mod released! As a result, it’s never been more important to understand how your vape battery works and, more importantly, how to use it safely. However, since then the world of vaping has evolved at a mind-blowing pace. Incidentally, I still own both of those mods and yes, believe it or not they still work! In the relatively early days of vaping, a couple of regulated box mods had also been released (anyone else still rocking the Innokin MVP or Cool Fire 1?!) and these sported an external vape battery. These ‘mods’ all came with an internal vape battery which couldn’t be removed and had to be charged within the device. When I started vaping in 2014, the most popular choice of device was one of the many EGO Style Pen mods available on the market at the time.
