Many of these batteries are what are called vape pen battery, which means they are shaped like a pen / writing instrument. Before you can operate one you have to ask yourself very quickly whether it is a push button or an auto draw battery.

In either case you have to:

1. Charge the Battery before use. Most Batteries 2 hours will constitute a full charge. ** most vape pen batteries have a USB screw in charger, however some have a micro-USB slot to allow for charging**

2. Screw the battery and cartridge together, make sure not to over tighten the threads as you can strip it or damage the battery connector spring pins.
