Vaping is a hugely popular way to consume cannabis. Vape cartridges are filled with highly concentrated cannabis oils and make for a super convenient way to consume your cannabis no matter where you are! There are some considerations to make before delving into the world of vaping as you can really cater to your own specific needs and preferences. We are here to help!

So where to start?

Batteries!

But there are so many options! Which one is right for you?

At Hashtag, we have something for everyone! 

510 Thread

To kick it off, we have our most standardized option: the screw on style (510 thread). One can select between a push button or an auto draw. The push button has (you guessed it) a button! This allows you to adjust the temperature settings for your vape. 

If you like optimal flavor and a smoother hit, we recommend using the lowest temperature setting. Some vape carts are filled with oils more viscous than others and may require a higher temperature setting for efficient vaporization. Hold down the button and inhale for a hit, tap three times to change its temperature settings, tap five times to turn ON/OFF. 

Auto draw batteries only require you to inhale through the mouthpiece to initiate vaporization. Auto draws are easily the most user friendly (no buttons or settings to mess around with) whereas the push button batteries are a bit more universal for functionality across different types of cartridges. These batteries are typically charged using what’s called a 510 to USB charger, which makes charging possible anywhere you have a USB port! (We sell these chargers, too.)

510 Thread with Magnetic Attachments

We also offer a couple of more premium auto draw and push button varieties if you’re looking for a little bit more longevity out of your battery or are interested in additional features. Our VEO Motion and VEO Cirrus are both auto draw technology with haptic feedback, so you will know  you should be getting a hit if you feel those vibrations! They have what VEO describes as “Perfect Pull” technology: these batteries automatically adjust temperature for optimal flavor. VEO batteries are easily charged using a micro-USB cable provided with the battery.

Specialty Vape Batteries

Finally, we have our selection of specialty & proprietary tech vape batteries: the Pax Era and AiroPro!

The Pax Era allows for a super customizable experience in a compact size (easily slides into your pocket)! Be as discreet as you’d like with low temp, light, wispy vapor or crank it up to the exact preferred degree you’d like on their user friendly app interface. Pax Era batteries will only work with their respective Pax Era pods.

Conversely, AiroPro is a beautifully designed auto draw battery but packs a punch! Get yourself a smooth draw of thick milky clouds packed with flavor and potency. AirPro batteries also offer haptic vibrating feedback as a use indicator. You’ll always know when you’re low on battery when these vibrations transform into short pulses. AiroPro batteries will only work with their respective AiroPro cartridges.

Talk to any of our budtenders today about your preferences, and we can help you determine which is right for you!
