Are all 510's the same? Size and connection

I have an Electron 510 from ElectronicStix....my very first e-cig. So, is it different from other 510's? Are all 510 connections the same? I've heard of Joye and I've seen other 510's that look like cigarettes( white battery, I guess). Mine is stainless steel and relatively the size of a cigarette. Are all 510's the same size? Except LR which are longer or bigger around, or both, I guess and last longer.
Right now, I charge the batteries using a wall plug and a usb adapter cuz that's what came in my kit.

I need to get some supplies to help me charge on the go. I also want to get a pass thru to use on the computer. I need help to determine if connections will fit with what I have. How will I know? Is this a dumb question?

Yes, they are. Your ecig is just a Joye clone, with mixed reviews. But it will work with the 510 hardware--chargers, passthroughs, cartomizers etc.

No they are not,

In one of the oddest things to come out of China in a long time are reversed polarity 510's....If you have one and you put it on a pcc for the opposite polarity it just stops working. According to first vapor there 510 is one such model.

I agree, but you're talking about the VGO, which is the only model I know of with reversed polarity. The OP bought a Joye clone, which should be compatible.

Are First Vapor's 510 batteries reversed polarity also? WOW! That's really weird...

I think I'm detecting a trend here. First they all steal the Janty design, and then mess up with it to make it incompatible with Janty products. Leo, GoGo, reversed polarity. Anything to sell more chargers and batteries.

Plain nasty, if you ask me.

Sorry, Desertlover, but to be on the safe side, ask your vendor.

Thanks for the wonderful responses. Looks like it's time to e-mail the vendor. Appreciate it guys! !

Yea first vapor isn't the only one .... I spent a good bit of time last week looking for a white automatic 510 going to different sites and such...the thing to look out for is some of them actually say not compatible with joy 510 PCC. One site actually sold both the joye and the non joye and mentioned the one isn't compatible with the charger for the other....

probably not a HUGE issue but it is something to be aware of...now of course cartomizers/atomizers are compatible between the two.

hmm that doesnt make ANY sense though. Why would they reverse the polarity? Just to mess with people and make them buy more crap? Seems like the only reason. electrically it should perform the same, just make it stupidly complicated to buy atomizers and stuff with the reversed ones.

not 100% but I've read blu brand ecigs are 510's with reverse polarity so its not compatible, also the xhale 02 the model 7-11 sells in my state has 510 threads but has reversed male and female ends so the battery is male and the atty is female, not sure about the polarity.

 

[Goldenkobold]

blue is an l88,
which is compatible thread wise with 510 but yes it is also reverse polarity (and of a different build than 510's I have tried switch and size wise as well)

Thanks everyone for your answers. Apparently it is just a regular 510. I've been using accessories with no problem.
