Are parts from different brands and manufacturers labeled as 510 interchangeable

[fredflintstone]

Specifically, will a USB charger for one 510 charge another brand's 510 battery?
Will any 510 battery work with any 510 atomizer? Are there any problems if you mix and match the parts?

You can use any 510 atomizer/cartomizer with any 510 battery. The 510 pertains to the type of threads used. However, not all chargers are created equal. A charger used with a regular 510 battery can be used with a 510 Riva/eGo battery, but it will take forever to charge because those batteries are much larger and the charge rate on the charger is slower. On the other hand, the charger designed for the eGo/Riva batteries should not be used with the regular 510 batteries because the charge rate will burn them out instead of charge them.

As far as I know any part that says 510 is meant to be compatible with any other part that says 510...... however, I have hear of one or two occasions when people bought super-cheap parts that were manufactured inconsistently and either almost fit or fit differently than more reputable part (like the atomizer works but doesn't completely screw in all the way and leaves a gap). This would be very rare, since I've been roaming ECF for nearly a year and only heard of it once or twice.

I've also heard of people buying super-cheap bulk parts of no discernible origin and having them be the same quality as the "name brand" parts.

In addition to that, you can't charge an eGo/Riva batt on a 510 charger without an adapter to make it fit anyway (just wanted to clarify)

I believe you can use any 510 charger on any 510 battery as long as the charger has around the same MAH rating or lower. I know it is not recommended to use a ego fast charger which has a 500mah charge rate on a regular 510 battery which I think is 180mah or the mega 510 battery which is 280mah. As for the atomizer you can use any brand 510 atty on any brand 510 battery but it is recommended not to use any low resistance atomizer on regular or mega battery as it will cause premature battery failure.

I guess I'm to slow.

but you got the part about the LR atty's. I forgot to mention it

Yeah, Ego-class chargers and LR cartomizers and and LR atomizers are not for slim 510 batteries - they are only for the fatter 510 batteries like Ego and Riva 510 which also have beefed up electronics inside. Any of those things may damage or kill slim 510 batteries

Mega carts are only for Mega atty - the carts are longer and fit in the longer tube of the Mega atty. A standard resistance Mega atty should fit any 510

510 mega batteries fit in mega 510 PCC, standard 510 batteries fit in normal 510 PCC (Note - VaporKings.com sells a mega PCC with an adapter for charging a normal short 510 battery). The roomier plastic PCCs I have seen around for 510 are only for the standard 510 batteries (like the Vapormaxx PCC at NoSmokeVA)

I don't what the power needs are of the 510 PT with the inline battery. Most battery charger AC to USB adapters (and computer USB) are not sufficient power for most PTs, I think including the 510/Ego PTs with no inline battery.
