What is a 510 battery, and how should retailers compare them?
A 510 battery is a rechargeable power unit built around the widely used 510 threaded cartridge connection. Retail buyers should compare connection style, voltage control, activation method, preheat, battery capacity, charging port, cartridge clearance and pack size rather than treating every battery as interchangeable. Button batteries give the user direct control; auto-draw models activate from airflow; concealed or bar-style designs place the cartridge inside a housing. The official Pulsar 510 collection shows that one brand can span pen, bar, variable-voltage and multi-use formats, so a useful first order covers more than one use case. Salim Distro’s live catalog is the source for which models, display quantities and stock are available from its warehouse at the time of ordering. Manufacturer pages remain the source for device specifications and compatibility. Retailers should match replacement chargers and accessories to the product documentation and avoid assuming that a shared thread guarantees identical voltage, cartridge fit or operating instructions.
A 510 battery is the hardware a cartridge customer has to own and keeps replacing. It is small, it is lost, it is left in a car in July, and every time it goes the customer comes back for another one and usually a charger. For a smoke shop or vape store that sells cartridges, the 510 row is the steadiest hardware margin in the building, and Pulsar is the brand most of those customers ask for by name.
This is a Pulsar 510 battery wholesale guide for licensed retailers, built from the seven Pulsar listings and the other 510 batteries, cells and chargers in our Maine warehouse. It covers how 510 batteries differ, every Pulsar model we stock and who it is for, the twist, discreet and novelty batteries that sit beside them, and what a first 510 order looks like for a store that has never carried them.
Key takeaways
- We stock seven Pulsar 510 listings: the DL Auto-Draw pen, the DL 2.0 Pro in High Times and Grateful Dead editions, the DL 5.0, the Pay Out, the Delta 3-in-1 Kit and the Obi auto-draw by the 12-count display.
- Beside Pulsar sit Cookies and Backwoods 1100 mAh twist batteries by the 30-count display, the Hemper LIT in six colors, the Smyle Labs Robotjamin, 18650 cells from Samsung and AWT, and ZTC 510 USB chargers by the 50-count display.
- Every battery here uses the standard 510 thread, so one row serves every cartridge customer regardless of which cart brand they buy.
- A 510 battery contains no e-liquid, so in most states it carries no vapor excise. The price you pay is the cost you keep.
- Batteries and chargers ship from Maine on the same invoice as your vapes, pouches and the rest of your hardware.

What a 510 battery is and why every cart store needs the row
The 510 is a thread standard: a small screw fitting shared by almost every pre-filled cartridge on the market. A 510 battery is the power unit that cartridge screws onto. Because the thread is universal, a customer does not need a battery that matches their cart brand. Any 510 battery on your wall fits any 510 cartridge they bring in, which is what makes the category simple to stock and simple to sell.
It is also the most replaced piece of hardware in the store. A battery is carried daily, charged nightly and lost or broken on a schedule that disposable vapes never match. A store that sells cartridges and does not carry batteries is sending its own customers to the shop next door for the second half of the purchase.
Auto-draw, button, twist and preheat: the four formats
All 510 batteries do the same job. They differ in how they fire and whether the customer can adjust the power.
Capacity is stated in milliamp hours. A compact pen such as the 650 mAh Obi is sized for a pocket and a day of moderate use. An 1100 mAh twist battery runs longer between charges and is the usual choice for the customer who uses a cart all day. Neither is better; they are sold to different people, and a good 510 row carries both.
Every Pulsar 510 model we stock
Pulsar is the brand name in this category for the same reason RAW is the name in papers: a customer who has owned one asks for it again. We carry seven Pulsar listings, all in the Pulsar wholesale category, read live from our catalog on 11 September 2026.
Read the row top to bottom as a price ladder. The DL Auto-Draw pen and the Obi display are the entry points. The DL 2.0 Pro editions are the step up, and the two co-brands are what make a customer pick up the pack. The DL 5.0 is the current model for the customer who asks what is newest. The Delta 3-in-1 Kit sits at the top as the kit that makes every pen below it look reasonable. Every listing states its pack size, catalog availability and, for approved accounts, the wholesale price.
Twist, discreet and novelty batteries beside Pulsar
Pulsar is the name, but it is not the whole row. The batteries and chargers category holds the twist displays, the discreet battery, the novelty piece, the cells and the chargers that complete it.
The two twist displays are where the volume is. Thirty batteries in one countertop display, a licensed brand on the front, and a format the customer already understands. The Hemper LIT covers the buyer who does not want the battery to look like a battery. The Robotjamin is a counter piece: it sells to the customer who did not come in for a battery at all.
18650 cells and USB chargers
Two lines in this category are not 510 batteries but belong on the same wall. The Samsung 30Q and the AWT 3500 mAh are 18650 cells, the removable battery used in box mods and some larger devices. They sell by the single cell to the customer who already owns the device and needs a fresh cell or a spare.
The ZTC Smoke 510 USB charger is the other. Every 510 pen ships with a way to charge it and most customers lose it within a month. A 50-count display of screw-on USB chargers at the register is the highest repeat sale in the category and the cheapest line on this page to keep stocked. It comes in two styles; the listing shows both.
How to merchandise a 510 row
Put the row where the cartridges are, not with the glass. A customer buying a cart is already holding the reason to buy a battery. Three shelves is enough:
- Register level: the Obi 12-count display and the ZTC charger display. Both are impulse items and both move faster when the customer can reach them while paying.
- Eye level: the Pulsar pens hung by the model, entry on the left and the Delta kit on the right, with the co-branded DL 2.0 Pro editions facing out. This is the shelf the customer reads.
- Counter or case: one open twist display, the Hemper LIT colors and the Robotjamin. The twist display is the price anchor; the Robotjamin is the conversation starter.
Keep one of each Pulsar model on the peg even when the display behind it is low. An empty peg tells the customer you do not carry it; a single unit tells them you do.
A first 510 battery order
For a store that sells cartridges and has never stocked batteries, this is the order that fills a three-shelf row without tying up cash in any one line.
That is one twist display, one Obi display, one charger display, three Pulsar pens, one Pulsar kit and two Hemper LIT units. Replace whichever display empties first; in most stores that is the charger, then the twist display.
Licensing, excise and shipping
We sell only to licensed retailers. A state tobacco or vapor retail licence for the delivery address, verified before approval, covers batteries and everything else in the catalog. The smoke shop supplies category and the vape catalog ship on the same account.
A 510 battery contains no e-liquid. In most states vapor excise is charged on the liquid or on devices that contain it, so a battery sold on its own carries none. Where a state does tax a hardware line, the cart shows the line before you pay. Batteries and chargers ship from our Maine warehouse with the rest of your order on a single invoice.
Ordering Pulsar 510 batteries at wholesale
Open a wholesale account with your state licence. Once approved, every product page in the Pulsar category and the batteries and chargers category shows the pack size, catalog availability and your wholesale price. Add the displays and pens above to the same cart as your vapes and pouches, and the order ships from Maine with one invoice and one tracking number per box.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 510 battery?
The power unit a pre-filled cartridge screws onto. The 510 is a universal thread, so any 510 battery fits any 510 cartridge regardless of brand.
Which Pulsar 510 batteries do you carry?
Seven listings: the Pulsar 510 DL Auto-Draw Vape Pen, the DL 2.0 Pro in High Times and Grateful Dead editions, the DL 5.0, the Pay Out, the Delta 3-in-1 Kit and the Obi auto-draw battery by the 12-count display.
What is the difference between auto-draw and a button battery?
Auto-draw fires on the inhale with no button; the Pulsar DL Auto-Draw pen and the Obi work this way. A button battery fires when pressed, which some customers prefer for control. Twist batteries add a dial that sets the voltage.
Do you sell 510 batteries by the display?
Yes. The Cookies Twist and Backwoods Twist Preheat come in 30-count displays, the Pulsar Obi in a 12-count display and the ZTC 510 USB charger in a 50-count display. Other pens and kits state their pack on the product page.
Is there excise tax on 510 batteries?
In most states, no. Vapor excise applies to e-liquid and to devices that contain it, and a battery sold on its own contains none. Where a state does tax a hardware line, the cart shows it before you pay.
Do 510 batteries need a licence to buy wholesale?
Yes. We sell only to licensed retailers, and the same state tobacco or vapor licence that covers your vape order covers batteries and chargers.
Which 510 battery should a new store stock first?
One 30-count twist display, one Pulsar Obi 12-count display and one ZTC charger display. Those three cover the price-first customer, the impulse sale and the most repeated purchase in the category. Add the Pulsar pens and the Delta kit as the row proves itself.
How much do Pulsar 510 batteries cost at wholesale?
Pricing is per unit or per display and is visible to approved accounts on every product page. It is not published publicly. Add ground shipping by weight and any excise for your state, both shown before you place the order.
