What exactly is '510' and how compatible is it?

[Ryedan]

OK, so I have a Joye eGo C kit and as far as I know it is a '510' system. I have searched ECF and the web for a good explanation for '510' and have not found it. eGo C battery housings have 2 threads on them, one outside and one inside and one sprung center electric terminal.

1) What part of this makes it a 510 or is there something else I am missing here?

2) Can I use any 510 gear - atomizer, cartomizer, tank, etc - on my eGo C battery housing, or will I need an adapter? Let's assume for this one that the battery has the capacity to handle things.

3) Can I use the eGo C base/atty/tank system on a ProVari or LavaTube which I think are 510 devices, or any other 510 power supply, or will I need an adapter?

Hope I'm making sense here ... and sorry if this has been covered before, I just couldn't find the information anywhere I searched.


Many thanks!!

510 refers to the connection type, basically the female thread on the battery or pv. Most mods have a 510 connection regardles there are probably adapters for most common type of connections like ego (outer male threads) or 808.

If I understand it correctly, "510" is the battery threading size. Basically, all 510's should be mix and match.

I started with a Joye 510 kit, partly because it seemed to be the most compatible with other devices I thought I might want in the future. I can say my cartos, atomizers, and clearomizers that fit my standard 510 batteries and passthru, also work on a Silver Bullet, Lavatube, and my latest purchase Provari.

I haven't run into anything that is a 510, that doesn't work with another 510 item. I'm still new to this.

1 The inside threading (the female) is the 510 connector.

2 I'm not entirely familiar with the eGo-C, but it looks to have the same battery as all eGos. Most anything that is threaded 510 will work on the eGo family.

3 If you want to use your eGo gear on other 510 PVs you will more than likely have to get an 510 - eGo adapter, which run from $2-7 depending where you get them

have fun vapin' bud

1. The 510 designates the thread pattern, which is a female and a certain size.

2. Yes. Any 510 gear will fit. However, you may or may not be able to use your cone.

3. No. If you look at the 510 connector on a Lavatube, you'll see it is recessed. Your 510 connector on your eGo is raised. Cartos that are specifically made for an eGo have their connector recessed inside a skirt that fits over the edges of the raised 510 connector on the eGo. This skirt also has threads that engage with the threads on the outside of the eGo connector. A few other devices, notably the new Stainless Lavatubes, have a well around their 510 connector that effectively creates a space so that the skirt on eGo cartomizers can fit down in there, but there are no threads in that well, so the device is only connected by the threads inside the battery connector. But most non-eGo 510 devices will need a 510/eGo adapter to raise the connection like it is on the eGo.

The "510" designation indicates the threading where the battery/switch connects with the atomizer or cartomizer. This includes the electrical connection. The outer threading is for a cone or whatever & is not universal to the 510 designation. For instance, Joye also makes a 510 cig-sized (sort of) PV, a 3-pc rig consisting of a cig-sized battery, an atomizer & a cartridge. The only threading it has is the 510 atty-to-battery connection (at least I believe this is correct; I think the cartridge simply pushes onto the atty).

As to using tanks & other accessories designed for your eGo on other PVs, generally yes, unless there is a skirt on the accessory extending down to thread onto the outer threading of the eGo which might prevent the 510 threading from reaching the connection on the other PV without an extension.

Hope that helps... Happy Vaping!

Thank you alll for the quick replies! OK, so what i understand from this is that the female threads on my eGo-C battery make this a 510. DCB305, what is the male thread, the outer one, used for? You said the eGo and 808. Which eGo? I thought I have an eGo (though it is a 'C').

durkadurka, on item #3 - why would I have to get a 510 to eGo adapter? Is it the center post or something else?


Many thanks all!!

OK, I was replying before I saw sailorman and Warren D. Lockaby's replys. I get it and that clears it up for me. Thank you to all of you for helping me out here!

Hapy vaping!

The outer male threads on a ego batt (all ego batts are the same) are commonly referred to as the ego connector (the ones you attach a cone to. The 808 is a different connection it is also a male connector to use any of these on a 510 device you will need an adapter.

It would be needed to use eGo parts on other 510 devices, because they have that larger outer thread and have the recessed 510. The adapter essentially creates the same connection that the batteries have, but a regular 510 poking out the other side the regular distance. This way everything sits nice and flush.

When e-cig users first started making modifications to their e-cigarettes, the three most popular designs were the 510, the 901, and the penstyle 801. The 510 was preferred by most for its strong throat hit and good flavor--especially at higher voltages. The 306 atomizer, 510 cartomizer, eGo-T tankomizer, and eGo-C atomizers all use the same threadings as the original 510 and so are interchangeable. Adapters are available to use 901 atomizers or KR808-D1 cartomizers as well as 801 penstyles or pretty much any other.

1. 510 mostly refers to the threading standard between the battery and atomizer. The 306 atomizer uses the same threading but the wire wick "bridge extends out of the casing so you can't use the same cartridges/driptips that can be used on 901 or 510 atomizers/cartomiers, but otherwise they work on 510's or eGo's just fine.

2. Pretty much, yes. Be careful of using cheap off-brand atomizers if you have a Genuine Brand battery--you don't want to void the warranty, obviously, but for the most part all 510 and 306 atomizers/cartomizers/tankomizers use the same connector and are therefore interchangeable.

3. This actually MIGHT require an adapter. Some atomizers and cartomizers (like the eGo-C, eGo-T, and some "Mega XXXL DualCoil Cartomizers") may be designed to take advantage of the "cone" fitting on the eGo and might not fit on the top of some devices without an extension.

Most eGo-style batteries have enough capacity to use with lower resistance atomizers/cartomizers, but this could obviously reduce the life of the battery.

You may be new, but your well on your way with all that gear!

The "C" in eGo-C stands for Changeable. Basically it is the same as the eGo-T "Tankomizer" except that the tankomizer (that is designed to be used with an eGo so it uses the same fitting as a 510, but has a built in "cone" to match the eGo design) allows you to replace the actual atomizer head as shown.

OK, I got it. Thanks to everyone for helping out!
