510 Thread Batteries

A 510 thread battery is the rechargeable power unit that connects to a standard 510 cartridge. The thread size is a universal fitting, so any cartridge with a 510 connection will screw onto any 510 battery, which is why it has become the common standard across the industry.

We stock the Yocan range, including the compact Kodo Pro, the Ziva 2.0 and the slimline Flat Mini 2.0. Options run from simple draw-activated pens through to devices with digital displays, adjustable voltage and preheat functions, so there is something to suit both first-time and long-term patients.

If you are unsure which battery suits your prescription, call us on 1300 420 965 and we will talk it through, rather than leaving you to guess from a spec sheet.

510 Thread Batteries FAQs

What is a 510 thread battery?
A 510 thread battery is the rechargeable component that heats a 510 cartridge. The name refers to the threading itself: ten threads at 0.5 mm intervals, a universal standard, which means cartridges and batteries from different brands generally fit one another. The battery supplies power, the cartridge holds the medicine, and the two screw together.
Which 510 battery should I choose?
It comes down to three things. Size: compact pens like the Kodo Pro are the most discreet, and slimline models like the Flat Mini 2.0 sit flat in a pocket, while larger devices hold more charge. Control: draw-activated batteries need no buttons at all, which suits patients who want the simplest possible device, while variable-voltage models like the Ziva 2.0 let you fine-tune each session. Capacity: around 350 to 400mAh suits lighter use, while 900mAh options go longer between charges. If you are not sure, call our pharmacy team.
What voltage should I use with my cartridge?
Start at the lowest setting your battery offers and work up. Lower voltages generally preserve flavour and produce a cooler, gentler vapour, while higher voltages produce denser vapour but can scorch the oil and create a harsh, burnt taste. Most patients settle in the lower to middle part of their battery's range. Always follow the directions supplied with your prescribed product and check with your prescriber or our pharmacists if you are unsure. If you are getting a burnt taste, drop the voltage before doing anything else.
Why is my cartridge not producing vapour?
Usually one of three things. The battery may be flat, so charge it fully first. The connection may be dirty, so unscrew the cartridge and wipe both the battery's centre pin and the cartridge contact with a dry cotton bud. Or the airway may be clogged, in which case a preheat cycle (usually two quick clicks) will gently warm the oil and clear it. Cold weather thickens oil too, so warming the cartridge in your hand for 30 seconds often helps.
How do I charge and care for my 510 battery?
Charge with the cable supplied, or a standard USB or USB-C cable depending on the model, and avoid fast chargers not intended for the device. Store the battery upright, away from heat and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. Turn the device off when carrying it (on most models, five clicks) so it cannot fire in a pocket or bag. If a battery is damaged, swollen or will not hold charge, stop using it and contact us.
Will my cartridge fit any 510 battery?
Almost always, since 510 is a universal thread. Occasionally a cartridge with a wider base will not sit flush on a very narrow battery, and some Yocan models use a magnetic adapter rather than direct threading. The Uni Pro and Uni 3.0 are adjustable for both height and diameter, which makes them the safest choice if you use several different cartridge types.
