The term mod emerged because vaping enthusiasts began building and modifying their own electronic cigarettes. Manufacturers noticed how popular this practice was and started to produce ever more advanced devices. The term mod stuck even though you don’t need to modify the latest electronic cigarettes. Box mods are so called because they tend to have a square or boxy appearance.
Box mods feature advanced functionality and so are generally favoured by experienced vapers. Offering a variety of features including Variable Wattage and Temperature Control modes, box mods can provide a truly customisable experience. You may partner your mod with any compatible tank, but our box mod kits make life easier as they include an appropriate vape tank.
Many mods offer significantly larger batteries than vape pens and some are powered by replaceable rather than integrated batteries to maximise their outputs. You could benefit from a screen that provides useful information including the settings you have selected, remaining battery charge and the number of puffs you have taken. Box mods have multiple safety protections built in and most are not as complicated to use as you might think.
Is a box mod right for you?
You might be asking yourself if a box mod would be a good choice for you. If you still require a high nicotine strength or a noticeable throat hit akin to smoking, you should probably stick to an MTL vape pen or pod system for the time being. But if you are looking for bigger clouds, more gentle throat hits and/or direct to lung draws, a box mod vape kit is certainly the way to go.
How to choose the best box mod kit for you
Most mods are loaded with features. Some are must-haves for most vapers while others are merely useful extras. The extent of the functionality will largely dictate the cost of the kit and it doesn’t make sense to pay for something that you won’t use. Explore the various box mod kits and choose one which offers bells and whistles you would most like to have. Here are the significant features to consider:
Variable wattage (VW)
Most mods allow you to adjust the wattage going to your atomizer. Maximum outputs vary dramatically, and most vapers won’t need the 200W delivered by some of the mods we showcase. Of course, many vapers will cherish that considerable oomph! If you are simply looking for a satisfying vape, even 35W might do the trick but for huge clouds you will need more power.
Temperature Control (TC)
Temperature Control vaping enables you to set a specific temperature to vape at, rather than a specific wattage. This largely eliminates dry hits and can improve flavour. TC also creates a consistent vape when you take longer draws as the temperature of your coils remains the same instead of them getting hotter.
Ramp Up mode
Some box mods offer a Ramp Up mode. Here, you can choose a soft setting for a gentler start to each puff or a hard setting for a power boost that delivers a more significant hit.
Battery Capacity
The bigger the battery, the longer you can vape between charges. This is obviously an important consideration if you are out and unable to recharge your battery. But a bigger battery means carrying around a larger device. Only you can decide whether vape time or portability is more useful to you.
Removeable v built-in batteries
Devices with built-in batteries are simpler to use but mods with removeable batteries enable you to carry a spare. All batteries will deteriorate over time and then stop working altogether. With a built-in battery, when it ceases to function, you will need to replace your mod. For this reason, removeable batteries are cheaper in the long run.
Stealth vaping
Some box mods boast a stealth vaping mode which shuts off the screen and all lights when you vape. If you don’t need to be stealthy, this functionality will be of little interest.
Safety protections
All of the latest box mods provide a range of safety protections. However, if you have children, you should consider investing in a mod which is password protected to prevent little fingers from operating your device.
