Very best 510 battery?

[Tstat]

Hey FCers! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, lol.
Anyway, I lost my Yocan Uni and I’m looking for a new battery. I liked the Uni, it was a tank and didn’t need much fussing with. Now, I’d like something better
I’m pretty much looking for a high end battery that is rugged and stylish. I’ve looked at the Zeus Ion, the CCell unit with the charging dock, DaVinci Aritiq, and many more. I’m not concerned about price, I just want something awesome!
Any suggestions?

I'd recommend going to the other direction if you're looking for rugged and minimal fuss. The Yocan Kodo is like a slimmed down Uni and they're inexpensive, simple, and can go as low as 1.8v. I use them exclusively now and gifted them to all of my friends who use carts.

I’m now looking at Compass Rise…

Zzz

I guess this site (or at least this forum) is not as active as I remember it in the past. Guess I’ll just buy the Rise and see how it goes.

Well these threads for 510 batteries were never popular I would argue? There are others, most people just grab whatever, or yocan as you see... Report back on what you get if you want to keep more going, but yeah it's not something I've ever found much point in investing much money in personally... Had no idea that DaVinci offered one, yeah you'd think it would be best to have one high-end

I'm not sure what a supposed high end battery would give me that a well featured low priced battery wouldn't? Maybe you do. As long as it has variable voltage I'm not sure what else I would want. I have a Yocan UNI Pro and Kodo Pro and would recommend the latter for $15. Since money is no object, go for the gold.

Well, I’ve used plenty of $5 pen batteries, mid range plastic boxes, and a Uni. I spent more on the Uni, but it was a metal box, rugged, and nice feeling. Sure a cheaper battery does the same thing, but Id like something that will last a long time, not clog my carts or burn, have a good voltage range, and look cool/feel good in my hand.
also, I’m a gadget guy, so I love my Puffco and old school Cloud. Now I’d like something cool for my car!

The “coolest” one I own is:

PCKT Two

The PCKT Two vapor unit offers a built-in ultra-high capacity 660mah Li-ion battery. With 5 practical power modes to suit your hardware needs and pass-through charging, you have that extra battery power when you need it most. 5-clicks on/off feature allows for absolute function and safety when...

pcktbrand.com

Both button & auto draw. There are 5 preset temps, all very usable.
Good luck!

I specifically said variable voltage as a requirement. Some pens would have that, but not what I was referring to. The internet.

Well the OP didn’t specify VV as a requirement.
I mostly use the UNI-Pro, as well as the tiny YOCAN Koda Pro, both with VV and shows the ohms of the cart. However the PKCT’s (5) presets cover the range of carts I’ve used, and the lowest preset is approximately 2.0 volts, so it covers the low end. I don’t like that it requires using cart (adapters), unlike the plastic ones I mentioned with direct 510 threads.

Wow, I hadn’t seen that one yet. It’s friggen beautiful!

The DaVinci one looks fancy but I don't see it's going to offer much in functionality over the much cheaper Kodo offerings. They do the job and at this point the main reason why I want a cart system is to have an easy way to share with people when I'm out at gigs/parties.

There's no way I'm handing them my Glow and they don't combust and/or get no vapour.

But now I've got my Quest Lightning running on TC, I'm going to try use that more. The only reason I've not already is because I need a new mouthpiece that doesn't get hot quite as quickly as the current one.

Edit - both the Davinci Artiq and the Compass Rise both have fixed voltage to choose from. The significantly cheaper Kodo that I have gives me much more control.

I’m also off the opinion koda pro is difficult to beat… and I HATE yocan.

I don’t think there is anything better in the market for form factor, variable voltage and price.

 

[simba]

Yup in every other respect Koda is trash but in this niche they're ruling.

So, for those interested… I went with the Vessel. I got the bundle which is the unit, a case, and a charging dock. The vape itself is exactly what I was looking for. It’s simple to use, variable settings, low settings, warm up, and screw in 510. It heavy, feels great in your hand, and just beautiful. The case is great, and the charger is metal and also built great. I like it so much that I also picked up their Pipe bundle, with a case, metal stash thing, and a lighter. I don’t even combust, but had to buy it at a discount and two free lighters!
