Vape batteries play a crucial role in a user's vaping experience. With many types of vape batteries available on the market, choosing the right one for your brand can be overwhelming. We've gathered insights from customers to help you narrow down the best options.

Finding The Right Battery

When choosing a vape battery, it's crucial to consider the expected outcome. Should flavor or vapor cloud size be the main selling point? How important is discreteness? These questions are essential to matching a battery to the targeted consumer's needs.

Battery Life

Measured in milliamp hours (mAh), higher capacity means longer life between charges. However, usage habits also play a role. Proper maintenance and storage are crucial for longevity.

Voltage
