Box mods are a more modern step forward in vaping. They usually have built-in batteries or operate on separate batteries. The battery life of box mods is much longer than that of vape pens and they are often equipped with an intelligent computer chip to control the current in and out. This control allows vapers to adjust the temperature to the coil, the machine's power, etc. to optimize their experience.
What are the advantages of using box mod ?
1. Controllable heat energy
The ability to control the device's heat is a new feature of the box mod to create a better experience.
2. Input and output voltage control
Controlling the input and output voltage will allow users to achieve the desired amount of smoke and flavor. Not all atomizers are the same, many types of atomizers require a certain amount of voltage to operate at their optimal level. By controlling these parameters, users can ensure that the box mod and atomizer will operate smoothly and not worry about the cotton coil burning out due to using too high a power.
3. Slightly louder
With the more powerful power of a box mod, you can take more powerful puffs than a small vape pen. This is very important for vapers who use e-liquid.
4. Long battery life
One of the reasons why box mods are popular in the market is because of their long battery life. A vape pen can only last for a day, or even less if used continuously, while the battery life of a box mod can last up to a day or two.
5. Multi-function
A box mod is a unit that contains the wattage, battery, and some controls, it does not contain e-liquid. Instead, the e-liquid is contained in a separate atomizer that is part of the box mod. A box mod can come with a variety of atomizers, meaning you almost have an AIO box mod.
What are the disadvantages of using box mod?
1. Large size
Box mods have evolved a lot compared to before, of course there are also compact models like Megavolt, but in general, box mods are often quite bulky. Along with the somewhat oversized size is a low-tech chip and operating features with extremely powerful battery capacity. The problem is that to carry the box mod with you, you are forced to use a specialized bag instead of casually putting it in your pocket when going out.
2. Hard to hide
A box mod with an atomizer is not something that can be easily hidden in public, people will immediately recognize that you are vaping, so be responsible for what you do and do not let outsiders have a bad impression of vapers.
3. Difficult to use for beginners
A vape pen typically only works with a single trigger button and a simple heating mechanism. Box mods are more advanced technology and the features only work if you know what you’re doing. So unless you plan on continuing the hobby and learning more, it’s best to stick with the vape pen first.
How to choose box mod?
Once you’ve decided to buy a box mod, the next step is to choose the one that best suits your needs from the dozens of models on the market. Since most box mods have a 510 connector, which works with most atomizers, you don’t need to choose a box mod based on the atomizer type (unless it’s a squonk mod).
When choosing a box mod, you should pay attention to these three important features:
1. Size
When choosing between box mods on the market, you may see bulky box mods or ones that fit in the palm of your hand. Typically, box mods have similar features, but a larger box mod will have a longer battery life, some special features, and be quite heavy.
You should also pay attention to the size of the device to suit your purpose. If you travel often, a compact box mod will be the right choice. But if you are sure that the place you are going will not have a place to charge the battery for a long time, you should choose a large box mod with a high battery capacity.
2. Features
If you are a long-time vaper and have owned many different types of atomizers, then you should pay attention to the features of the box mod. Some features of the box mod are very important to optimize the experience for each vape session. When you can adjust the wattage and voltage, you can create big clouds or great flavors. On the other hand, with the pre-calculated wattage, you can also avoid burning the coil and cotton.
3. Battery capacity and design
First, the higher the battery capacity, the more power it can hold and the longer it can last. Most box mods have relatively high battery capacities that can last for one to two days.
A box mod usually comes in two forms, one with an internal battery and one with an external battery. The advantage of an external battery box mod is that you can easily remove the battery from the device and use a separate charger to fully charge it before reinstalling it. You can pre-charge some batteries and use your box mod for a week without worrying about power. This is very convenient if you are often out and about or going on a long trip without a place to charge the battery.
