We don’t want to brag… but our devices are pretty sophisticated. Trying to decipher what part is what, especially when you’re new to vaping, can be confusing! Knowing your battery inside and out will help you maintain it longer, and will ultimately optimize your vaping experience.
Let’s dive into some of the common Ooze lingo we use around our batteries!
THE BATTERY
The battery refers to your Ooze pen itself, not the USB charger. We may also refer to the battery as the vape pen or vaping device. The battery powers your atomizer or cartridge’s coils and allows them to heat and vaporize your product.
There is not a battery inside of the device that can be removed or replaced. The device itself is the battery. There is no reason for you to ever try to open up your device—this is seriously risky, and we’re not responsible for the damage caused by trying to open up the battery. Trying to open your device at all instantly voids your device's warranty.
THE ATOMIZER
The atomizer is the heating component that you screw onto your device that heats, or vaporizes, your oil or concentrates. In Ooze terms, it’s the attachment in which you load you wax. The atomizer has coils inside it that do the actual heating. That’s why we also refer to the coil component that comes with our globe accessories as an atomizer.
The Ooze Onyx Atomizer is our sophisticated C-Core version of the dab bucket. It's a black bucket with a blue ceramic dish in the bottom that you load your dab onto. Dab devices are built to last and be used for years, but the atomizer is a disposable part that should be replaced routinely. This is where all the sticky gunk lives and builds up, and even with regular cleaning, you'll need a new atomizer eventually. You make an investment when you buy a reusable device, and replacing your atomizer makes your investment worth it in the long run.
Sometimes you may also see regular oil cartridges (the kind you pre-fill) referred to as atomizers. This is because they include the heating component—the coils. The terms can technically be interchangeable, but it is more common to call the pre-filled or pre-fillable attachments cartridges, and the piece that you directly load wax into the atomizer.
THE CARTRIDGE
The cartridge is the pre-filled 510 thread attachment that you purchase from dispensaries. These screw onto the top of your device and you're ready to rock and roll. Ooze does not sell cartridges or anything pre-filled with any type of actual weed. We only sell the devices.
THE CHARGER
Our stick-style batteries like the Twist Slim Pen 2.0 include what we call the Smart USB Charger. It is the small, black USB attachment that has the Ooze logo on it. It arrives in the package screwed directly onto the battery. All our stick-style 510 batteries can be charged with the Smart Charger, though it is not included with every single device.
Type-C chargers are the most common type of charger out there nowadays. Also called "usb-c" or universal chargers, all new Ooze releases feature a type-c charging port. Since most people already have type-c charging cables laying around at home, some of our more affordable 510 batteries do not include a charger in the box. Double check before purchasing that the device includes a charger and add one to cart, or make sure you have one already.
Our Duplex, Drought and Comet devices all include our Micro USB Charger. This charger has a small port that plugs into the battery, rather than screwing onto the top. The Comet’s Micro USB Charger is even built with a retractable cord for added versatility.
Each of these smart chargers shuts off the power flow into the battery as soon as it reaches a full charge, preventing overcharging and overheating. Use of our smart chargers, regardless of their design, will help your device last as long as possible.
Understanding how your battery works as a whole will make it easier to troubleshoot your product and keep it functioning properly. Our blog is full of tips and tricks on how to maintain your Ooze product, and familiarizing yourself with these terms will give you a deeper understanding of how to do so.
