This is where vaping mods came in.īasically, the first e-cig mods were home-made by vaping enthusiasts, and came in all shapes and sizes, but generally much bigger than the cigarette-style batteries. These smaller style vapourizers (also known as cigalikes or 'Generation 1 Ecigs') did a job up to a point, but users found themselves wanting longer battery life, larger vapour production and an overall greater performance. The Mod originally came into being as an alternative to vape pens and cigarette-style vape kits. Usually the term 'box mod' refers to the hardware, but you can also get mods paired with tanks. The Box Mod traditionally delivered the same power as regular 'pen' (aka eGo) kits, (albeit with vastly superior battery life), but in recent times the power output of these devices far outstrips anything a regular e-cigarette can offer.Ī vape mod is a modified version of an e-cigarette boasting more advanced technology and generally offering a range of customisable settings.
The Box Mod is fast-becoming the most popular type of advanced personal vapourizer, with some dubbing them the 'smartphone' of the industry. A Box Mod is a regulated box-shaped e-cigarette device which typically uses one or two li-ion batteries and a chip to regulate voltage.
