These are typically rechargeable and usually have a USB port on the side for charging. External batteries, also known as mod batteries, are often used to power more powerful devices. These batteries are typically removable and can be charged with an external charger.

Most vape mods and e-cigarettes come with safety features that prevent them from overcharging, short-circuiting, or overheating. It is important to familiarise yourself with the safety features of your device before using it.
