Battery Charging Tips

The V4 Pro runs on a standard 18650 battery with 2,550 mAh. This is not a built-in cell - it pops out in seconds and swaps for a fresh one. If you’re out and about, just carry a spare and you’re back to full runtime instantly.

A single charge lasts about 50 minutes of use at medium temperature, which translates to roughly 6-8 sessions. Charging happens through the side-mounted USB-C port in about 2 hours. Passthrough charging is supported, so you can vape while the device charges.

For battery longevity, keep the charge level between 20% and 80%. Regularly draining it to zero or leaving it plugged in overnight shortens cycle life noticeably. An external 18650 charger like the XTAR VC2 charges more gently than the internal USB-C circuit and costs under $15.

The biggest advantage over devices with built-in batteries: after 300-500 charge cycles, when capacity drops noticeably, you swap the 18650 for $5-8 instead of replacing the entire device. Samsung 25R or Sony VTC5 are proven cells with enough discharge current for the V4 Pro.
