Breaking the Mold: Why the iHit FM-3D Battery Doesn’t Need a Charging Cable at PoS.
For years, the tradition of including a charging cable with 510 vape batteries has gone unquestioned. It made sense: customers needed to know they could use their new vape battery immediately, even if they didn’t have the right cable on hand. But times have changed, and so has the technology. With the release of the iHit FM-3D battery, we’re challenging the norm and showing why it’s time to rethink the “cable included” approach.
A Grab-and-Go Revolution
The FM-3D isn’t just a vape battery—it’s designed to be a grab-and-go product, much like a BIC lighter. Our vision is to make it as ubiquitous in the vape world as BIC is in the lighter industry. To achieve this, we’re prioritizing simplicity, affordability, and convenience, without sacrificing quality or customer satisfaction.
Tradition might suggest including a cable, but here’s why the FM-3D doesn’t need one—and why both retailers and customers are better off because of it.
The Game-Changing Features of the FM-3D
Instant Assurance with the Digital Display
Gone are the days of uncertainty about whether a battery is charged and ready to go. The FM-3D features an integrated digital display that shows the remaining battery life. Customers and retailers alike can verify its charge level right at the point of sale, making the included cable unnecessary from the start.USB-C Fast Charging for Ultimate Convenience
If the battery happens to need a charge, the FM-3D is equipped with USB-C, the most widely used charging cable today. Almost everyone has a USB-C cable at home or nearby. Better yet, the FM-3D’s fast-charging capability means that even if a customer has to charge their battery, they can see it power up in real time, dramatically cutting down wait time.
Why Retailers Win by Forgoing the Cable
Removing the cable isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about cutting costs and environmental impact while offering customers an even better product experience. Here’s how retailers benefit:
Lower Price Points: By removing the cable, we’ve reduced the cost, making the FM-3D more competitive and appealing to customers.
Eco-Friendly Appeal: Retailers can position this decision as a step toward reducing e-waste. Today’s consumers value sustainability, and removing redundant cables is an easy win for the planet.
Higher Customer Satisfaction: With features like the digital display and USB-C compatibility, the FM-3D offers better quality-of-life upgrades than other 510 batteries at its price point.
Breaking with Tradition for the Better
We understand that some retailers may feel uneasy about departing from the long-standing practice of including a cable. But the truth is, the FM-3D’s advanced features make this shift not only possible but logical. Customers receive a battery that’s easier to use, faster to charge, and built with modern conveniences in mind—all while retailers enjoy lower costs and a more sustainable product lineup.
At iHit, we’re committed to redefining the vape hardware experience, and the FM-3D is a testament to that mission. Ready to stock your shelves with a grab-and-go product that’s truly ahead of its time? Let’s talk.
