CCELL Fino 510 Battery

The CCELL Fino 510 Battery has eight voltage settings running from 2.2V to 3.6V in 0.2V steps, chosen with the voltage button. Lower settings give a cooler, more flavour-focused draw and use less oil per puff, while higher settings give warmer, thicker vapour. One thing to know before buying: CCELL states that the battery has to be connected to the power dock to change the setting, so the CCELL Fino 510 Battery cannot be re-adjusted while the mini battery is carried away from the dock.

Preheat on the CCELL Fino 510 Battery runs a 10-second low-power warming cycle from a single tap of the preheat button. Gently warming the oil thins it out, which helps with cartridges that have gone stiff in the cold and with clogs that stop a cartridge drawing properly. CCELL notes one limitation worth knowing before you buy: preheat needs the battery and the power dock connected together, so it is not available when the CCELL Fino 510 Battery is carried on its own.

The CCELL Fino 510 Battery is draw-activated, so it fires when you inhale rather than needing a button held down. Screw a 510-thread cartridge into one of the included magnetic adapters, drop it into the battery, then inhale steadily rather than sharply. The LED indicators sit on the power dock, and CCELL states that reading the voltage setting and battery level needs the battery, dock and case connected together, so keep the CCELL Fino 510 Battery docked when you want to check either.

The CCELL Fino 510 Battery is sold as a kit rather than a bare battery. The packaging listed for it holds the battery unit, the 1000mAh power dock, two magnetic cartridge adapters, a leather battery cover, a USB Type-C charging cable and a user manual. Those adapters matter in use: CCELL’s instruction is to screw your cartridge into one of the included metal adapters and drop it into the battery. Cartridges are not part of the kit, so buy a 510-thread cartridge separately before using the CCELL Fino 510 Battery.

CCELL puts the figure at over five full charges of the 190mAh mini battery from the 1000mAh dock. Treat that as the manufacturer’s number rather than a guarantee, because how many top-ups you actually get depends on how you vape: higher voltage settings, thicker oils, long draws and frequent preheat cycles all pull more current from the CCELL Fino 510 Battery, and charging losses mean the dock never transfers its full rated capacity into the CCELL Fino 510 Battery.

The CCELL Fino 510 Battery charges over USB Type-C using the cable supplied in the kit. Plug it into a standard low-output USB port or wall adapter rather than a high-wattage fast charger, since small cells like the 190mAh unit are not designed for high charge currents. The 1000mAh power dock carries its own charge and tops the battery unit back up away from a socket, which is the point of the two-part design on the CCELL Fino 510 Battery.

CCELL lists the mini battery on the CCELL Fino 510 Battery at 55.4mm high, 25mm wide and 13.35mm deep, which is roughly the size of two AA batteries side by side. The power dock is a separate piece at 68.9mm high, 50.6mm wide and 20mm deep. So the part you carry and vape from is pocket-sized, and the dock only needs to travel with you when you want a recharge, a voltage change or a preheat cycle.

When the CCELL Fino 510 Battery produces no vapour, the cause is usually the cartridge, the connection or the charge rather than the battery itself. Check the cartridge is seated firmly on the 510 thread or adapter, as a loose or over-tightened cartridge will not make contact, and wipe oil residue off the contact point. Confirm the battery unit still holds charge and top it up from the power dock. If the draw is thin rather than absent, dock the CCELL Fino 510 Battery and step it up a voltage setting or run preheat.

Stock on the CCELL Fino 510 Battery moves, so the availability shown on its own product page is the only reliable answer at any given moment, and it is worth checking before you plan a purchase around it. If it is unavailable when you look, CCELL’s other 510-thread batteries are the obvious substitutes: the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery and the CCELL Go Stik 510 Battery both take 510-thread cartridges, and the CCELL Palm Vaporizer Battery is a further CCELL option to compare.
