What is a Mod?
In simple terms, a vape mod is the part of your kit which powers everything else. They generate power which is converted into heat via the coil when then turns your favourite e-liquid flavour into vapour.
If you are new to vaping, rather than buying the components of your kit separately, you might want to look at the pre-built kits the world of vaping has to offer – this also removes the issues of compatibility. You can also check out starter mods if you are looking for something with a bit more power.
If you are an experienced vaper and you’ve found a tank that you like it might be time to start looking at how you can purchase other components for your e-cigarette to make it the ultimate personalised kit. Experienced vapers might want to check out our advanced mods.
There are several reasons why someone might want to buy a mod. Some mods can be more functional which gives you more options to customise performance. It might be that you want a feature that increases your battery life. It could just be a case of replacing an old battery which is now at the end of its life. With lots of different colours, styles, and sizes to choose from, buying a mod might come from a purely aesthetic intention. All of which are valid reasons to consider purchasing a new mod.
What Does a Vape Mod Do?
So, it’s bigger and better but what is it that a vape mod actually does?
- Bigger batteries – this is essential to increase power and vapour production in your e-cig. Most portable vape kits rely on a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery. Vape mods can support larger batteries including 20700, 21700, and 26650 batteries. These batteries, as expected, put out a lot more power and allow for a longer lasting performance and boost flavour and vapour production.
- LCD screens – as vape mods tend to be larger, they allow space for an LCD screen. These screens give you an insight into your battery life, temperature control and with vaping technology continually advancing, the benefits of an LCD screen vary across our range of products.
- Flavour – in addition to thicker and bigger clouds with a vape mod, you can also enhance the flavour of your vapour. Vape mods are very well known for their ability to provide a flavoursome experience.
- Customisable coils and tanks – coils and tanks also give you more control over the overall performance of your kit. Coils give you much more power over the temperature of your device. However, when you are customising your kit, make sure you check each component for compatibility with each other.
Of course, this general advice is going to vary across products, and building your kit relies entirely on compatibility across all components of your device.
Should I Buy a Vape Mod?
Vape mods require a level of understanding that comes with experience within the vaping community. It is always good to do your research and develop your own understanding of what features of a vape kit you prefer. Vapers that want the ultimate control of their vaping experience and are looking to get serious with their set-up should always make sure that they understand the importance of each component and make sure that it suits their vaping needs.
Controlling temperature alone comes with a high maintenance expectation of understanding how your device can alter and control temperature.
If you are looking for a device that is easy to pick up and vape on the go as soon as it comes out of the box, then buying and designing your own custom e-cigarette might not be for you. If you’ve been in the world of vaping for a while, have researched what you need and are ready to start customising your vaping life then it might be time to start looking at specific mods and the features they can provide for your very own unique, customised set-up.
