CCELL Palm Pro vs Palm SE: Which 510 Battery to Stock

The CCELL Palm Pro vs Palm SE choice comes down to controls versus visibility. Both are 500mAh palm-fitting 510 batteries with 2.8V, 3.2V and 3.6V settings and Type-C charging, but the Palm Pro adds a drop-in magnetic connection, an adjustable airflow collar and a 10-second preheat, while the Palm SE offers an oil view window and 15-second stable temperature heating.

The Fino is a third option: a smaller 190mAh mini battery with a 1000mAh power dock and eight voltage steps. Everything below comes from the live product pages, not independent testing.

Key takeaways

• Palm Pro: magnetic drop-in, airflow collar, 10-second preheat, 3-bar LED and five colours.
• Palm SE: oil view window, 15-second stable temperature heating, screw-on 510 thread and Gold or Grey.
• Fino: 190mAh mini battery, 1000mAh dock, eight voltage steps from 2.2V to 3.6V.
• All three take standard 510 cartridges, but the connection style differs, so test-fit wider cartridges.
• Start any new oil at the lowest voltage and step up one setting at a time.

Palm Pro vs Palm SE in one answer

Choose the Palm Pro when you want hands-on control and a magnetic fit, and the Palm SE when you want customers to see the oil level. They share the same capacity, the same three voltage steps and the same charging port, so the difference is features, not power.

• Palm Pro: drop-in magnetic connection, adjustable airflow collar, 10-second preheat, 3-bar battery LED.
• Palm SE: unobstructed oil view window, 15-second stable temperature heating, straightforward screw-on thread.

Neither is “better” in every case. A brand that sells a glass cartridge and wants the oil on show will lean to the SE, and a brand that wants airflow and preheat as selling points will lean to the Pro.

What the Palm family is

The Palm family is a set of palm-sized 510 batteries that sit in the hand and take a standard 510 thread cartridge. A 510 battery supplies power and carries no heating element of its own, because the ceramic core lives in the cartridge. For how 510 batteries compare with pods and all-in-ones, see types of vapes: 510, pod and all-in-one.

These batteries suit three buyers:

• Brands bundling a battery with a filled 510 cartridge.
• Retailers who want a battery customers can understand quickly.
• Filling teams who test voltage and airflow on their own oil.

Cartridges are sold separately, as are oil and any filling. If the 510 label is new to your team, our explanation of what a 510 thread cartridge is covers the thread, and the Palm batteries then add voltage steps and handling features on top.

CCELL Palm Pro

The CCELL Palm Pro battery is a 500mAh palm-fitting 510 battery with a drop-in magnetic connection, an adjustable airflow collar, a 10-second preheat and a 3-bar LED. It measures 57.5 x 42 x 13.55mm, charges over Type-C and is inhale activated.

What it offers

• Voltage: 2.8V, 3.2V and 3.6V.
• Preheat: 10 seconds, started by two short presses of the button.
• Airflow: a collar with three positions: fully open, halfway or narrowly open.
• Colours: Champagne, Deep purple, Forest green, Graphite grey and Ruby.
• Customisation: listed as available.

A note on reviews

People search for a CCELL Palm Pro review, but this comparison is built from CCELL product data and our own stock data, not from independent lab or field testing. We do not publish test results we have not run. Treat the figures as the manufacturer’s specification and run your own trials.

Cartridge fit

The Palm Pro takes standard 510 cartridges through a drop-in magnetic connection once a magnetic cartridge nut is fitted. The Palm Pro takes cartridges up to 11mm in diameter, so test-fit any wide format before an order.

The page lists the CCELL TH2-SE, TH2 EVO, TH2 EVOMAX and Kera as natural pairings.

CCELL Palm SE

The CCELL Palm SE battery is a 500mAh palm-fitting 510 battery with an unobstructed oil view window and 15-second stable temperature heating. It measures 57.6 x 41.9 x 13.5mm, charges over Type-C and is inhale activated.

What it offers

• Voltage: 2.8V, 3.2V and 3.6V.
• Heating: 15-second stable temperature heating, which aims to hold a steady temperature for up to 15 seconds after you start drawing.
• Window: an unobstructed view of the oil level in the cartridge.
• Colours: Gold or Grey.
• Thread: a screw-on 510 thread, with no magnet or airflow collar.

Cartridge fit

The Palm SE works with standard 510 cartridges, and glass or clear-bodied tanks make the most of the window. The CCELL TH2-SE, M6T-SE and Vita are the pairings our page names.

The stable temperature heating is not a manual preheat, and the Palm SE has no preheat button.

Side by side table: Palm Pro, Palm SE and Fino

The table below compares the two Palm batteries on the points buyers ask about most.

The second table sets the Fino against the Palm Pro, since the Fino is the other magnetic option.

Where the Fino fits

The CCELL Fino battery and dock set is two products in one box: a pocketable mini battery and a dock that holds it and recharges it. CCELL says the 1000mAh dock gives the 190mAh battery over five full charges.

That makes it a portable-charging product more than a direct rival to the Palm batteries. It suits field teams and gifting sets, and its eight 0.2V steps suit teams who want finer voltage control than a three-position battery offers.

It is a better fit when:

• The battery will be charged away from a desk, such as at events or during deliveries.
• You want finer voltage steps for testing different oils.
• You want a battery and dock supplied as one set.

It is a weaker fit where you want the larger 500mAh cell or an airflow collar, which are Palm Pro features. A buyer comparing the Palm Pro against the Fino is really choosing between handling controls and portability.

Cartridge pairing

All three batteries are listed for standard 510 cartridges, but the way the cartridge connects differs. The Palm Pro and Fino use a magnetic drop-in, and the Palm SE uses a screw-on thread. Our guide to magnetic and display 510 batteries explains the two styles.

Check these points before ordering:

• Magnetic nut: a cartridge needs one fitted for a drop-in connection, so ask whether your cartridges include it.
• Body diameter: most CCELL glass cartridges are 10.5mm, the Ceramic-EVOMAX is 11.0mm and a 2ml Vita is 14.1mm.
• Window value: clear tanks show the oil on the SE and Fino windows, and opaque bodies hide it.

The CCELL Rizo battery is a compact magnetic alternative if the Palm range is more than you need. It is a 300mAh battery with haptic feedback, a 3-bar LED and two settings, 2.8V (L) and 3.3V (H).

Charging, controls and day to day use

Both Palm batteries are inhale activated, so a normal draw needs no button. Both charge over Type-C, and our product pages advise a known 5V source, a sound cable, disconnecting when full and avoiding overnight charging. The full routine sits in the guide on how to charge a 510 thread battery.

Palm Pro use, in short:

1. Fit a magnetic nut to the cartridge and drop it into the connection.
2. Select 2.8V, 3.2V or 3.6V.
3. Set the airflow collar to fully open, halfway or narrowly open.
4. Press the button twice for the 10-second preheat when the oil is thick or cold.
5. Draw, and watch the 3-bar LED for charge.

Palm SE use, in short:

1. Screw a standard 510 cartridge on until snug.
2. Select 2.8V, 3.2V or 3.6V.
3. Check the oil level through the window.
4. Draw and charge over Type-C when needed.

Voltage depends on the oil and the cartridge. Start at 2.8V and move up one step at a time, and read our voltage settings for distillate, live resin and rosin before you set a house default.

Which Palm battery for which range

Match the battery to the product story you want to tell. The decision list below covers the common cases.

• Choose the Palm Pro for a premium range that wants magnetic fit, airflow control, preheat and a colour choice.
• Choose the Palm SE for a transparent range built around glass cartridges, where seeing the oil level is part of the appeal.
• Choose the Fino for portable or gifting sets, events and teams who want eight voltage steps.
• Choose the Rizo if you want a compact magnetic battery with two simple settings.

Avoid choosing on specification alone. Think about who will handle the battery and what questions they will ask. A battery with more controls gives more to explain and more ways to get it wrong, so keep your insert short and consistent.

Whichever you choose, run your own oil through a small test before you commit to a full range. Ask our team about colour choices and customisation for your range.

Ordering and range planning

Trade pricing for each battery is on its product page, quoted ex VAT and tiered by quantity, so check the page for current terms. We do not quote prices or minimums in articles, and our team confirms them in a written quote.

When you plan a range, a few habits help:

• Order batteries and cartridges on one quote so tiers and delivery are priced together.
• Give a colour split, since Palm Pro has five finishes and Palm SE has two.
• Ask whether your cartridges need a magnetic nut for the Pro or Fino.
• Keep the first range narrow: one core battery and one cartridge.

If a slim stick suits your customers better than a palm shape, the alternative is the stick format covered in our guide to the M4B Pro, M4 and Go Stik batteries. Browse the full 510 battery range to compare every format.

Test before you commit. Fit your own cartridge to each battery, run the same oil at the same voltage steps, and note draw, heat-up time and any leak at the base. A written comparison of three batteries on your own oil is worth more than any specification table.

Send your volumes and colour split to the trade team through the contact page for a written quote.

FAQ

What is the difference between the CCELL Palm Pro and Palm SE?

Both are 500mAh palm batteries with 2.8V, 3.2V and 3.6V settings and Type-C charging. The Palm Pro adds a drop-in magnetic connection, an adjustable airflow collar, a 10-second preheat and a 3-bar LED. The Palm SE offers an unobstructed oil view window and 15-second stable temperature heating on a screw-on thread.

Is the Palm Pro better than the Palm SE?

Neither is better in every case, because the Palm Pro has more controls and the Palm SE shows the oil level. Airflow, preheat and magnetic fit favour the Pro, while glass cartridges and retail displays favour the SE. Choose by the range you are building and the questions your customers will ask, then test your own oil.

Which cartridges fit the CCELL Palm Pro?

Standard 510 thread cartridges fit, through a drop-in magnetic connection once a magnetic cartridge nut is fitted. Our page names the TH2-SE, TH2 EVO, TH2 EVOMAX and Kera. The Palm Pro takes cartridges up to 11mm in diameter, so a 14.1mm 2ml Vita will not fit.

How does the Fino compare with the Palm batteries?

The Fino is a 190mAh mini battery that docks into a 1000mAh power dock, with eight voltage steps from 2.2V to 3.6V and a 10-second preheat. The Palm batteries are single 500mAh units with three voltage steps. Choose the Fino for portable charging and fine tuning, and a Palm for a larger cell.

Do Palm batteries have variable voltage?

Yes, both the Palm Pro and Palm SE offer three settings: 2.8V, 3.2V and 3.6V. Start at the lowest setting and step up only if the oil needs more heat, because thicker oils generally need more than thin ones. Test a small batch of your own oil before choosing a default.

How do I charge a CCELL Palm battery?

Charge it through the Type-C port with a known 5V source and a sound cable. The Palm Pro has a 3-bar LED, so disconnect when all three bars are lit. Avoid overnight charging, stop if it becomes hot, and wipe the cartridge contact first if there is oil on it.
