BOX MODS

What are box mods?

Box mods are a powerful type of mod that offers a greater deal of customisation. They usually have advanced features such as a screen for viewing settings, temperature control, variable voltage or wattage, power curves, or even voice-command recognition. From its name, a box mod typically has a rectangular shape, and it’s slightly bigger than other mods because of its increased capabilities and longer battery life.

How are regulated mods different from unregulated?

Box mods are typically assumed to be regulated mods, which are equipped with a circuit and chipset. These allow users to control the mod settings and, more importantly, provide safety mechanisms that’ll simply shut the mod down if a malfunction happens. On the other hand, unregulated mods don’t have a circuit board. They simply deliver raw power to the coils. While this opens the way for more extreme vaping experiences, it’s also much more dangerous because the setup can explode or burn up in the absence of safety mechanisms.

What are the benefits of regulated mods?

The main benefit of box or regulated mods is that you can easily fine-tune the settings. Just by looking at the screen, you know exactly what the values are. They’re also safe to use, and you don’t have to worry about constantly monitoring your mod. Compared to simpler devices, box mods also have a larger battery, which means they can keep your vape going longer and can generate more power. Ultimately, box mods provide a convenient way to tweak your vaping experience so there’s no need to peek under the hood.

How do I perform sub-ohm vaping with box mods?

Sub-ohm vaping is a style of vaping that produces large amounts of vapour. This requires a vaping setup that can deliver greater power while having a resistance of less than one ohm. Box mods are common devices for sub-ohm vapers. In fact, most of the popular vaping companies have box mods specifically meant for sub-ohm vaping. Remember to check the resistance and wattage capabilities of a box mod before purchasing, and do direct-to-lung hits when sub-ohm vaping.

What’s the right wattage to use?

While box mods can have different features, you’ll find that most of them have variable or adjustable wattage. Wattage refers to how much power your battery is sending to your atomizer. The higher your wattage, the more intense your vape will be, resulting in high cloud production and a strong throat hit. However, you don’t want to overdo the wattage because this can overheat your coils. Your ideal wattage depends on your personal preferences, the device you’re using, and your e-liquid. To gauge it, start from the lowest wattage and slowly turn it up, constantly checking how your e-liquid tastes.

How do I get the most out of temperature control?

Temperature control is another useful feature of box mods. This prevents your vape from going beyond a certain temperature, which prevents the unpleasant experience of dry hits. As with wattage, your e-liquid will taste different based on the temperature, so test each temperature slowly from low to high. Vaping temperatures usually range from 200 to 250 C (or 395 to 480 F).
