Humans are curious by nature, and once we discover and accept a new technology, our instincts always push us to find ways to make it better. From the days of horse-drawn carriages, to modern automobiles, and now driverless cars, we have always loved to improve our toys. This instinct also applies to the world of vape mods .
And this is why innovation is at the heart of both car and vape culture.
Passion
You need knowledge and understanding to properly modify a car or vape. To make your mod work, it takes more than picking up a random box mod . You have to understand how it works, inside and out. You have to understand what makes a box mod work, and what each part does to it. This level of passion is far beyond what any average user can handle.
Pride
Just as you might naturally take your modified car to a show, there are many people who are proud to show off their homemade box mods to their friends. You have the opportunity to show off the improvements to your beloved box mod and discuss its pros and cons.
This contributes to a close-knit community of modders who love to talk about the improvements they've tried, can exchange notes, and brainstorm better ways to do things in the future. Pride is evident in how you care for your rig.
adventurous
Let’s be honest, part of the appeal of innovation is that you can push technology to its limits. Does anyone really need a Bugatti Veyron that can cruise down the road at 160 mph? No. But wouldn’t it be cool? Absolutely! And sometimes, just saying you can is enough.
The same goes for a modded vape. No one needs a 300W vape, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the option.
Imagine you’re stopped at an intersection with a Sirius in your hand, while the guy in the next lane has a vape pen. You start it up, blow out a huge cloud of smoke, and take off as soon as the light turns green. Fun, right?
The challenge
The innovation culture is always a bit of a challenge. Most people start with small box mods until they understand how a vape mod works. Often, they change the appearance of the box mod to make it more personal.
Over time, these little things can grow into you creating more complex box mods.
Community
As mentioned above, community is a huge part of the car and vaping culture. It’s about building relationships with like-minded people. Being around people who can talk all day about a new box mod, helping each other work out any kinks in the process.
Most vapers are very comfortable with guiding newbies, they are also very safety conscious and are happy to share what you should or shouldn't do based on their personal experience.
We have known for a long time that car culture transcends all boundaries, including gender, nationality, and race. Now that vaping has become popular all over the world, the same is happening to the vaping community. You can meet a lot of different personalities who are passionate about vaping and want to build better mods.
And even in some countries where money and technology are limited, you can come across unique mods that you can’t find anywhere else. It’s fun to talk to people from different backgrounds to see what they’ve made with the resources they have.
