Hamilton Devices Guide: Compatibility, Charging and Care

This Hamilton Devices guide explains the details that matter when identifying a device, checking cartridge compatibility and looking after its battery. It covers the Cloak V2 and Tombstone V2, plus practical checks for charging and cleaning.

Start with the exact model name. A shared brand name or a matching connector does not mean that two devices use the same controls, charging equipment or accessories. Keep the supplied manual nearby, especially if your device is an earlier version.

Hamilton Devices guide to 510 compatibility

The term 510 describes a connection format. It does not confirm every other part of a pairing. A cartridge still needs to meet the device’s electrical requirements and fit its available space.

Hamilton describes the Cloak V2 as designed for CCELL cartridges, with support for most 510-thread cartridges. The word “most” matters. It is not a promise that every cartridge will fit or operate correctly.

Before connecting a component, check:

  • The model and version: distinguish the original Cloak from the Cloak V2.
  • The connector: confirm the connection type in the manual.
  • The dimensions: a cover or enclosure can limit the space around a cartridge.
  • The electrical requirements: compare the cartridge specifications with the device’s supported resistance and voltage range.
  • The accessory name: confirm that a coil, adapter or cover belongs to that exact model.

If the information is missing, pause and ask the manufacturer. Do not force a connection or modify a component to make it fit. For help identifying a device you already own, contact yabaDABS for support.

Cloak V2 and Tombstone V2: published specifications

The table below records manufacturer specifications. It is a reference for identifying the two models, rather than a performance test.

SpecificationCloak V2Tombstone V2
Connection layoutSingle screw-in 510 connectionDual screw-in 510 connections
Battery capacity650mAh650mAh
ActivationInhale or buttonInhale or button
Voltage presets2.8V, 3.2V and 3.8V2.8V, 3.2V and 3.8V
Charging connectorUSB-CUSB-C
Listed charging input5V / 450mA5V / 450mA

Hamilton lists the Cloak V2 resistance range as at least 1.0 ohm and the Tombstone V2 range as at least 0.5 ohm. Consult the supplied manual for the full connection requirements, including the Tombstone’s dual-connection configuration.

Both specifications list about 1.5 hours for charging. Treat that as an estimate, not a timer to follow regardless of the device’s charging indicator. Battery condition and the charging setup can affect the time.

The manufacturer maps the voltage indicator colours to blue for 2.8V, white for 3.2V and red for 3.8V. Follow your model’s manual for the button sequence. Do not assume another Hamilton model uses the same sequence.

Hamilton Devices guide to charging and battery care

A USB-C socket identifies the connector shape. It does not, by itself, confirm that every power supply is appropriate.

Follow the supplied charging instructions and use manufacturer-approved equipment. Hamilton’s charging guidance warns against leaving a battery unattended or charging it overnight. It also advises against using a wall adapter unless the manufacturer has approved it.

  • Check the cable and connector for visible damage before charging.
  • Keep the charging area dry and away from materials that could catch fire.
  • Stay nearby while the device charges.
  • Use the model’s charging indicator to identify completion.
  • Stop using a device with a damaged battery, swelling or unusual heat.

A capacity figure such as 650mAh is not a fixed number of hours of use. It describes battery capacity under specified conditions. It cannot establish the runtime of every individual device.

Cleaning a Hamilton Devices battery

Hamilton notes that oil-handling devices can leak and need regular cleaning. However, the cleaning method matters as much as the frequency.

For the Cloak V2, Hamilton specifically advises against rubbing alcohol on the exterior. Its instructions describe a washcloth or paper towel with a little warm water for the outside. Follow the manufacturer’s separate directions for connection points and the inside of the cover.

Keep cleaning liquid out of ports and allow cleaned parts to dry fully before reconnecting or charging them. Do not immerse the battery body. If the finish or material is unfamiliar, check the manual before applying a solvent.

For general care routines, see our vaporiser maintenance guide. Always follow the cleaning instructions for your exact Hamilton model.

What to check when something is wrong

If the device will not charge, begin with visible checks. Inspect the cable, connector and power source. Then compare the setup with the charging instructions. Do not open the battery housing or attempt an internal repair.

If a connected cartridge is not recognised, check the exact model, connection type and electrical requirements. A fitting problem is not a reason to tighten harder. Stop if the threads bind or a part will not seat normally.

Indicator colours and flashing patterns can have different meanings across models. Record the pattern and consult the correct manual. Guessing from instructions for a different device can lead to the wrong conclusion.

Frequently asked questions

Will every 510 cartridge fit a Hamilton Devices battery?

No. Check physical dimensions, electrical requirements and the manufacturer’s compatibility information. A 510 connection alone is not a complete compatibility check.

Are the Cloak and Cloak V2 interchangeable names?

No. The version forms part of the model identification. Use the manual and accessory information for the version printed on your device or packaging.

Does USB-C mean fast charging is supported?

No. The port shape does not establish the supported charging power. Follow the input specification and charging guidance for the exact model.

Can I clean the whole device with rubbing alcohol?

Do not assume so. Hamilton’s Cloak V2 instructions specifically exclude its exterior from that cleaning method. Follow the directions for each part.

Battery safety and recycling

For independent advice, read the London Fire Brigade guidance on batteries and chargers. To find a UK drop-off point for an old electrical device, use the Recycle Your Electricals recycling locator. Check the location's acceptance instructions before travelling.
