Pros and Cons of Vape Mods | Box Mods
There are different features such as variable wattage, temperature control or indeed both in the same device.
Most are also good devices for new vapers that may want to experiment with sub ohm vaping further down the line as they can accommodate both mouth to lung and sub ohm tanks.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though!
There are two main types of box mod you will come across:
· Mods with integrated battery – When the battery eventually fails the whole mod needs to be replaced
· Mods with replaceable batteries – No need to replace the whole mod when the battery performance deteriorates, just swap out the batteries. Does require battery knowledge and additional purchase of external charger.
I personally use both and have had a mod with integrated battery last over well over one year. For a £30/£40 device that’s pretty good going.
If going for a mod with replaceable batteries it’s important to learn about battery safety, how to carry spare batteries and charge them safely.
All the box mods I recommend below are regulated, in other words they feature micro computers to control settings as entered by the user. Please stay away from mech mods (unregulated) if you do not not what you are doing.
Pros
· Battery life can be considerably longer depending on the setup allowing for long periods of vaping without requiring a charge. Perfect for heavy vapers or those that use their device out and about away from a charge point.
· Many have variable wattage settings that allow you to control the power output which in turn helps tailor settings for optimal user experience. Ie: More / less vapor – Warmer / cooler vape.
· Batteries can be removed and replaced (in some) rather than having to replace the whole device.
· Certain devices can provide the power for those wanting to get into sub ohm vaping further down the line.
· Can be used with Mouth to Lung (MTL) vape tanks – Battery life will be even better with these types of tanks due to the low power they require to work.
Cons
· It is necessary to know the capabilities of these devices before buying. They aren’t for everyone.
· Learning curve – Some vapers just want a simple / straightforward device.
Of course we can only advise what the best e cig is based on what we have used
Keep in mind this post is for vape kits aimed toward beginner vapers or those stepping up from beginner devices.
As always be sure to vape safe!
