How do vape batteries work?
The battery within the mod (whether internal or external) is operated via the firing button. This passes voltage to the 510 connector, which is applied to the coil in your tank. The coil has a specific resistance and when this voltage is applied to it, current is drawn from the vape battery to heat it.
