Low voltage: best for flavor and fewer burnt hits

Low settings are where many THC users get the best flavor and smoothness. Low voltage reduces the chance of overheating thick oils, especially in cold conditions.

Medium voltage: the best default for most shoppers

Medium is typically the “sweet spot” for balanced vapor and heat. It’s also where many stores should train customers to live day-to-day.

High voltage: strong vapor, higher risk

High settings can deliver dense vapor but increase the risk of burnt flavor, harsher hits, and faster cart wear—especially when users chain-hit.

THC vs nicotine: why the same voltage can feel different

Even at the same battery setting, THC and nicotine can behave differently due to viscosity, coil design, and airflow. This is why “one battery fits all” can create inconsistent results across product types.

510 vs disposables: voltage control vs fixed design

One advantage of 510 batteries is control—users can start low and step up. With disposables, output and airflow are mostly fixed, which can feel hotter and can cause burnt hits if a user chain-hits without cooldown.
