Electronic Cigarette Accessories: Chargers and Batteries

Since electronic cigarettes are battery operated, the two most important accessories to have are batteries and chargers. There are a number of options available from top retailers, each with its own advantages and features. With the right combination, using the electronic cigarette will be much more convenient in many ways.

The standard battery that comes with most electronic cigarette starter kits is 180mAh. This type of battery could last several days on a single charge, offering more than enough power for everyday e-cig users. The battery comes in three different colors: the standard white, black, or chrome.

Aside from the standard 180mAh battery, you can also pick up a 350mAh extended battery. This type of electronic cigarette battery comes with almost twice as much power, so the ability to stay powered between charges is also extended by close to 100%. Under normal use, the 350mAh extended battery could last a full week on a single charge.

To charge the electronic cig batteries, you will need a USB charger. It connects to any standard USB port and will charge a 180mAh battery to its full capacity in several hours. The USB charger is a must-have because other e-cig chargers require the USB charger to be used as well.

The wall adapter allows users to charge their e-cig batteries on conventional power outlet. The charging time is reduced all the way to just two to three hours; if you have more than one battery, you can charge them quickly with a wall adapter and the standard USB charger.

Those who drive a lot can also pick up a car charger. Just like the wall adapter, an electronic cigarette car charger must be used with the standard USB charger. It plugs into your car’s power socket for easy charging whenever you are driving.
