What’s a Vape Battery?

Your vape battery powers the coil in your pod or tank to heat e-liquid into vapor. They usually come in two types:

  • Built-in batteries: Found in most starter kits—super convenient and pocket-friendly, but limited juice.
  • External batteries: Swappable cells (like 18650 or 21700) for cloud chasers who crave higher wattage. Downside? Bulkier, but worth it for heavy users.

All starter and pod kits feature a built-in battery for convenience. These lightweight batteries enhance portability.
Still, built-in batteries can’t pump out as much power, so some serious vapers go for external batteries since they can deliver more juice, even if they’re bulkier and heavier.
You can remove the external batteries from the device to replace them when they need charging. Many vapers with external batteries keep multiple sets to use one while the other charges, preventing downtime.

Safety First!

Whether you’re team built-in or team external, follow these rules to avoid :fire::

  • Temperature control: Don’t charge in direct sunlight or near heaters.
  • No overnight charging: Unplug once fully charged.
  • Keep it dry: Water + batteries = bad news.
  • Use the right charger: Stick with the original cable for built-in batteries. For externals, get a dedicated battery bay charger.
  • Check for damage: Toss swollen batteries ASAP. Store externals in silicone cases to prevent metal contact.

Maximize Battery Life

Pro tips to keep your battery living its best life:

  • Charge smart: Don’t let it hit 0%—partial charges are kinder.
  • Full charge cycles: Let it reach 100% before unplugging.
  • Clean contacts: Swab battery ends with a dry cotton bud (no water!).
  • Store cool: Keep spares in a dry, shady spot—no glovebox saunas!

Treat your battery right, and it’ll keep those clouds thick and your vape sessions smooth. :rocket: :dashing_away:

Nice guide! Recently I’m trying to use the GEN MAX, which is also a device that requires an external battery.

:+1: With the continuous advancement of built-in battery technology, there may be fewer and fewer products that use external batteries in the future. But this is still an indispensable accessory for high-wattage, high-vapor-volume devices right now. Great sharing, believe it will help many UVers in need~

Right, the built-in battery is more convenient and they just become much larger than before. Maybe in the future we won’t need to bother to find external batteries anymore. Thank you admin, I just try to share something useful and required. :grimacing:

I use an Otterbox powerbank to recharge when im traveling. Powerbanks arent just for phones :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
Its big and bulky but it can recharge my xros around 10 to 13 times before I have to recharge it.
Just got to make sure not to leave it in a hot car. But that goes for anything with batteries.

I will also use a powerbank to charge my vape with built-in battery. Since I’m going to use it to charge my phone, I might as well use it to charge my vape too lol.
