Coolest Cart Battery Features! 10 Trending Design Elements

With so many new and wacky design elements out there, it’s time we compiled the most important features of 2024. Here are the coolest cart batteries of 2024, and the clever design features that are making waves in the industry right now!

Updated: 25 April 2024

1. Detachable power bank

This new design feature deserves to top our list. The team at CCell know that users have to strike a balance between 2 mutually exclusive features: The desire for a huge battery capacity vs. A battery that is small and lightweight. With this design element – Users can have both!

The CCELL Fino has an innovative 2-part detachable power bank design. One part is a seriously tiny 190mAh vape battery. The second is a detachable 1,000mAh power bank. You can vape the mini battery whilst it is attached to the power bank, all elegantly wrapped in a leather case. Or you can remove the mini battery, and vape it by itself.

This means you get both an ultra-portable mini vape that weighs next-to-nothing, and also a powerful 1,190mAh total capacity vape battery. This feature delivers the best of both worlds!

2. Self propelling air pump

Want to share your vape with your buddy – but don’t want their saliva on the mouthpiece? This hygienic new design element has you covered. Thanks to a clever air pump, the self propelling vape feature blows vapor out from the device mouthpiece. This means you don’t need to inhale!

As seen on the Hamilton Jetstream and Hamilton Jetstream Mini – this revolutionary feature changes the way you take a hit. Simply press the power button to activate the fan. This feature is fantastic for thicker oils, cold weather, and early tech adopters. Trust us when we say – This self propelling feature will soon become a whole lot more common!

3. Water bubbler

Bubbling vapor through water isn’t a new idea. Water pipes have long been popular with stoners who want milky, water-cooled clouds. But desktop bongs are cumbersome. The concept of incorporating a water bubbler feature into a cart battery itself. Well, that’s a game-changer.

Having a small, handheld water bubbler cart battery lets you take water-filtered rips whilst out on the go! You can find this feature in the Hamilton KR1, the Hamilton PS1 and Lookah Seahorse Max. We love this feature because the water percolation cools the temperature of the vapor, letting you enjoy massive potent hits – without descending into a coughing fit!

4. Digital display screen

A trending feature with both customers and vape brands alike – a cart battery that has a digital display screen. Screens are becoming more and more popular, improving upon the binary capabilities of LED indicator lights.

The number of features on a cart battery is higher than ever. Heat settings, pre-heat functions, puff counters, and smart modes. An OLED digital display compiles all of these features, giving you full visibility of your settings. It also gives you precision control, such as voltage adjustment in exact 0.1V increments (as seen on the Yocan Uni Pro Plus in the above GIF). Screens are featured on both small and large cart batteries – Explore our full cart battery with screen range here!

5. Flip mechanism

Cartridges are easy to damage. Since your battery is nothing without a cart (and vice versa), a flip mechanism is a trending feature amongst cart batteries. Your cart is protected within the body of the device whilst not in use, but can spring into action in an instant. This stealthy feature serves a dual purpose – It both protects your cart from damage, and also conceals it from view.

If you want a flip mechanism vape; the Cartisan Keybd Neo has a car key fob design, with a button that activates the spring-loaded flip mechanism. Alternatively, the aptly-named Hamilton Butterfly works like a butterfly knife – with a smooth and satisfying manual flipping action. Like a fidget spinner, it will keep you entertained for hours!

6. Hit multiple carts at once

How can a 510 thread battery deliver bigger hits, larger clouds, and last longer? With multiple 510 cartridge compatibility, of course! This trending feature lets you load multiple cartridges to your battery, and hit them either individually or simultaneously. There are even double and triple cart batteries that let you combine with 510 wax atomizers. Meaning you can hit an oil cart and wax atomizer, at the same time!

No brand is pushing this feature harder than Hamilton Devices who have a range of double and triple cartridge vapes. Explore our full range of multiple cart batteries here!

7. Heat-reactive color changing

This trending feature fits squarely in the “just-for-fun” category. Although it brings no performance benefits, we love seeing cart batteries with a heat-reactive thermochromic coating. As the heat from your fingers warms your device, it changes color. Magic! Give this feature a try with the Pulsar 510 DL 2.0 Pro.

8. Disguised as everyday objects

Vaping is not a crime! Still, a disguise is a feature that’s more popular than ever. We’ve seen cart batteries disguised as a pocket pen, a zippo lighter, and even an action figure. These disguises serve a purpose. They allow you to vape under the radar, without attracting unwanted attention. We’ve shortlisted our favorite disguised vapes here. Or you can explore our full range of stealth cart batteries!

9. Brand Collabs

Who doesn’t love a brand collab? Bringing together vape manufacturers of high quality devices, with the creative signature designs of highly recognized brand names. It’s a tried and tested strategy. Collabs are often Limited Edition and fast-changing, so keep your eyes peeled! Our current favorite is the High Times X Pulsar Obi collab battery.

10. Shockproof durability

Planned obsoletion is a real thing. Brands purposely allow their products to be vulnerable to damage, so they need replacing regularly, which keeps that sweet revenue rolling in. But the tide is changing! Vape brands have started improving the durability of their cart batteries, to extend their lifespan. Rugged durability is a trending feature. If you’re an active person who values durability as a feature (or just downright clumsy) – Check our shortlist of the toughest cart batteries here!
