It works until it doesn\u2019t, which is good enough until you buy a few of them at $5-15 a pop and the spendier options start to make sense, even though they are more of an investment. <\/p>\n<p>So here are our picks for quality weed cartridge batteries.

With an aluminum alloy build, the Silo adds just a few inches of heft to carts.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of temp control is arguably a non-issue thanks to CCELL\u2019s automatic voltage-calibration sensors. In fact, the shedding of buttons and options is a big part of what makes CCELL\u2019s product line so popular.<\/p>\n<p>The Silo is CCELL\u2019s followup to their much-lauded Palm. Like the Palm, magnetic coupling rings enable quick releases and swift flavor swaps of different carts.<\/p>\n<p>About the size of two AAA batteries, the Silo fits into a fifth pocket with room to spare. Despite its size, Silo\u2019s clouds are in the Goldilocks zone: satisfying, not too hot, and not too cold.<\/p>\n<p>For the price, build quality, and ease of operation, the Silo is a crowd pleaser we can get behind. And if you shop around a bit, you can usually get one of these for less than pen batteries sold at dispensaries.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/what-are-pre-filled-cannabis-oil-vape-cartridges\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>What is a cannabis vape cartridge?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-pckt-one-plus-by-pckt-small-durable-and-minimalist\">PCKT ONE Plus by PCKT: Small, durable, and minimalist <\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"PCKT ONE vape battery\" class=\"wp-image-177957 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-2.jpg,compress&w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-2.jpg,compress&w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-2.jpg,compress&w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-2.jpg,compress&w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>The PCKT ONE Plus vape battery.

Alternatively, a charging station can be purchased separately. <\/p>\n<p>While the feature list isn\u2019t mind-boggling when considering the $79 price tag, people shop Vessel mostly for aesthetics. The executive touches are reminiscent of fancy cigar cutters and monogrammed leather flasks, eschewing classic weed culture and repositioning cannabis at the board-room level. <\/p>\n<p>The issue of whether style justifies such a price tag depends largely on your personal preference: Do you want a vape pen that would look right with a classy outfit, or even when dressed for a wedding?

And for about $25 bucks, it\u2019s one of the most competitive options on this list.<\/p>\n<p>With 20+ voltage settings, magnetic cartridge coupling, and a unique design feature to accommodate carts of unusual shapes and sizes, the UNI Pro is a crossover between a cartridge battery and a beefier \u201cbox mod\u201d \u2014larger, more feature-rich rigs usually reserved for nicotine juice pods.<\/p>\n<p>Like many box mods, an onboard OLED screen displays battery life and voltage. Voltage is toggled with two arrow-shaped buttons, and a third rectangular button delivers a charge to your cart. <\/p>\n<p>While the added features speak to people who use box mods, the device is primarily for stoners, incorporating many features to address weed cartridges.<\/p>\n<p>To accommodate cartridges of varying length and diameter, the UNI Pro has two design elements we haven\u2019t seen elsewhere: A slider raises and lowers a cart within the housing, accommodating both short half-grams and long full-grams, and thicker carts can fit with a thumbwheel adjuster and retractable collar.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/what-is-marijuana-dab-pen\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>What is a cannabis dab pen?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-utillian-5-by-utillian-vape-cartridge-dab-pen-hybrid\">Utillian 5 by Utillian: Vape cartridge\/dab pen hybrid<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Utillian 5 by Utillian vape battery\" class=\"wp-image-177959 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-7.jpg,compress&w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-7.jpg,compress&w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-7.jpg,compress&w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries-7.jpg,compress&w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Utillian 5 by Utillian vape battery.

Though a bit of a departure from other batteries on this list, it\u2019s a sensible option for people who primarily dab and don\u2019t really need a separate cart battery.<\/p>\n<p>The Utillian 5 comes stock with two beastly atomizers: the triple titanium coil and twisted kanthal coil, both of which are housed in a ceramic chamber. <\/p>\n<p>With enough juice to go all day and then some, at the core of the Utillian 5 is a 1,500mAh battery that exceeds the capacity of others on this list by up to 5x. And with two voltage settings dedicated to cool vapor and two more for warmer, thicker clouds, the experience surpasses expectations for pen-class devices. <\/p>\n<p>At max voltage, filtering the triple titanium coil through the optional bubbler attachment is a combination so powerful, with eyes closed it almost feels like you\u2019re at home with a dab rig. <em>Almost<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Although straying from standard cartridge tech a bit here, we feel folks should know about 510-threaded options that aren\u2019t specifically designed for carts but work with them nonetheless. For people who prefer a dab but throw a cartridge in the mix here and there, the Utillian 5 makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>Other devices in this dab pen\/vape cart crossover class that we like include the <a href=\"https:\/\/linxvapor.com\/products\/blaze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blaze<\/a> by Linx, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puffco.com\/products\/puffco-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Puffco Plus<\/a> by Puffco, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapor.com\/products\/yocan-evolve-plus-v2-vaporizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evolve Plus<\/a> by Yocan.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-box\" class=\"p-lg my-xxl bg-white rounded border border-light-grey elevation-low\">\n<div class=\"mb-lg\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/a-buyers-guide-for-weed-cartridge-batteries.jpg\" alt=\"Matt Stangel's Bio Image\" class=\"lazyload inline-block mr-md rounded-full border border-light-grey\"> <\/p>\n<p>Matt Stangel<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-sm\">Matt Stangel is Leafly’s Oregon Product Specialist.
