Vessel Core vs Vessel Compass Rise Vape Battery

Both are Vessel-made 510 batteries with metal bodies and 4.9 ratings, so the choice comes down to size and features. The Core Soleil is the simpler, slimmer pen-style battery with a 260mAh cell, four voltage settings and a wide crown that fits cartridges of any diameter. The Compass Rise Sage is a drop-in, draw-activated unit with a 550mAh battery, five settings including 1.9V, preheat, a cartridge swivel and a body that stands upright. Buy the Rise if battery life, preheat and low-voltage control matter; buy the Core if you want a slim, button-fired pen that takes any cartridge.

  • Choose the Core Soleil if you want a slim, button-fired pen battery that fits cartridges of any diameter and keeps Vessel's four-step voltage control.
  • Choose the Compass Rise Sage if you want a bigger battery, preheat, a 1.9V low setting and a drop-in body that stands on its own.

Questions and answers

Which has the longer battery life?
The Compass Rise Sage. Its 550mAh cell is more than double the Core Soleil's 260mAh, and owners single out its battery life as a strength.
Which is better for thick oils?
The Compass Rise Sage. Its preheat function and 1.9V low setting let you warm and run a cartridge gently, which the Core Soleil cannot do below 2.4V.
Can the Core Soleil take wider cartridges?
Yes. Its wide 510 crown fits cartridges of all diameters, while the Compass Rise Sage's drop-in slot tops out at 11.5mm.
Which is easier to carry?
The Core Soleil. It is a slim pen-style battery, while the Compass Rise Sage is a shorter, wider drop-in body that weighs 100 grams.
Is the Compass Rise worth stepping up to?
If you want preheat, a 1.9V setting and roughly twice the battery capacity, yes. If you want the simplest slim pen that takes any cartridge, the Core Soleil is enough.
Do they use the same charger?
Both charge over USB-C. The Core Soleil fits Rover Cases, while the Compass Rise Sage fits the Hub Case and Apex Charger and is not compatible with the Scout Case or Ridge Charger.
