CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery measures 60mm tall, 38.2mm wide and 16.2mm deep, so it sits flat in a pocket rather than standing upright like a pen style battery. The body is a lightweight polymer shell with a silicone wave grip that gives the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery a secure hold in the hand. Inside that shell is a 400mAh cell charged over USB-C.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery is inhale activated and has no fire button. Attach a 510 cartridge, then draw on it and the device powers the cartridge automatically for as long as you keep drawing. Stop drawing and it switches off. The only control on the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery is the slide switch that sets the voltage to 2.8V, 3.2V or 3.6V.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery charges through a USB-C port on the body. Plug the supplied USB-C cable into the port and into a standard USB wall adapter or a computer port, and leave it until charging stops. Use a low output charger rather than a fast charge phone brick. Charge the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery with the cartridge removed, and unplug it once it is full rather than leaving it connected overnight.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery ships with one Sandwave battery, two magnetic adapters, one USB-C charging cable and one user manual. The magnetic adapters screw onto the base of a 510 thread cartridge so the cartridge drops into the battery magnetically instead of threading in. A cartridge is not included, so you supply your own pre-filled 510 cartridge before using the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery is stocked in five colors at Black Note: Coral Pink, Lavender, Marine Green, Mint Green and Tropical Yellow. All five are the same device with the same 400mAh capacity, the same three voltage settings and the same magnetic 510 connection, so the color you pick changes only the look of the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery and not how it performs.

If the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery produces nothing when you draw, check the charge first, then check that the magnetic adapter is screwed fully onto the cartridge and seated flat in the battery. A loose or crooked adapter breaks contact. Wipe the adapter and the contact pad with a dry cotton swab to clear residue. Raising the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery to 3.2V or 3.6V also helps with a thick or cold cartridge.

Blinking usually means low charge or a broken connection rather than a failed device. Charge the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery fully over USB-C, then test it again. If it still blinks, remove the cartridge, check that the magnetic adapter is screwed on straight and tight, and wipe the adapter and the battery contact with a dry swab. A cartridge with a flooded or clogged center post can also stop the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery from firing cleanly.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery suits a first time cartridge user because there is nothing to learn beyond one slide switch. It is inhale activated, so there is no button timing or wattage menu, and the magnetic adapter drops the cartridge in without threading it down. The 400mAh cell and the flat 60mm body make the CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery a pocket device rather than an all day one, so heavy users may prefer a larger battery.

The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery takes standard 510 thread pre-filled cartridges. Screw one of the two supplied magnetic adapters onto the base of the cartridge, then drop the cartridge into the battery, where the magnet holds it in place with no threading. Set the slide switch to 2.8V, 3.2V or 3.6V to match the cartridge. The CCELL Sandwave 510 Battery does not take e-liquid and has no refillable tank or replaceable coil, so it works only with pre-filled 510 cartridges.
