Charge Your Battery First
Before using any 510 battery, make sure it’s fully charged. Most come with USB or USB-C charging cables and may take one to two hours for a full charge depending on capacity.
Check the LED indicator (if available). Solid green usually means it’s fully charged, while red or blinking lights indicate it needs more juice 510 thread battery.
Connect Your Cartridge Properly
Once your battery is charged, screw your cartridge onto the threaded port at the top. Do not overtighten it—just twist gently until snug. Overtightening can damage the threads or internal contact pins.
Make sure the battery and cartridge are both clean and free of residue to ensure a proper electrical connection.
Turn On the Battery
Most 510 thread batteries use a 5-click mechanism to turn on and off. Rapidly press the power button five times in a row. You’ll usually see a light blink to confirm it’s on.
If the battery has variable voltage, pressing the power button three times quickly will cycle through the available voltage settings—usually indicated by colored lights (like blue for low, green for medium, and red for high).
Preheat If Needed
Some thicker concentrates benefit from a preheat cycle. Many 510 batteries include this feature, usually activated by pressing the power button twice.
The preheat warms up the cartridge, making it easier for the oil to vaporize, especially in cold weather or after long periods of non-use.
Inhale and Enjoy
Hold the power button while inhaling (on-button batteries), or simply draw (on auto-draw models). Start with small puffs to avoid coughing or wasting product.
If you’re using variable voltage, start at the lowest setting and work your way up. Lower temperatures give smoother hits and better flavor, while higher settings produce bigger clouds and stronger effects.
Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Match Voltage to Cartridge Type
- Thin oils or e-liquids: 2.5V to 3.0V
- Medium-thick oils: 3.0V to 3.7V
- Thick concentrates: 3.7V to 4.2V
Using the wrong voltage can lead to burnt coils, poor vapor production, or wasted oil. If unsure, always start low and increase gradually.
Clean Your Contacts Regularly
Oil residue can build up on the threads and contact pins, especially if you change cartridges often. Use a cotton swab with a little isopropyl alcohol to clean the connections. This ensures solid performance and helps prevent misfires.
Store It Upright
To avoid leaks, store your vape with the cartridge upright. This helps keep oil where it belongs and protects the mouthpiece from becoming clogged.
Also, avoid leaving it in hot environments (like your car) where oil can thin out and leak more easily.
