Pod vapers keep moving, because this is mod street. Ahh, mods, the traditional vape power bricks that you can attach your tank of choice to. Some are stripped-down kits, some are sold only as stand-alone mods, but the best vape mod can be found among the selections below.
So you’re looking for a week’s worth of internal battery power. Perhaps you want a tidy and discreet little thing, or maybe you want a mod that will survive you falling into a canal. All can be found right here!
The Best Vape Mod is: Vaporesso GTX One Pro
With exceptionally high output potential, colored touch-screen technology, and incredibly durable IP68 triple protection safety features, the Geekvape Aegis Legend 3 is the best mod in 2025 and one of the most advanced vape mods to date.
The Best Vape Mods in 2025 are:
- Vaporesso GTX One Pro
- Geekvape Aegis Legend 5
- Aspire Zelos M80
- Innokin Coolfire Z80 Nex
- Eleaf Mini iStick 20W
- Eleaf iStick Power 2
Vaporesso GTX One Pro
A stylish, compact mod that brings luxury finishes and dependable power in a pocket-sized design.
Why We Recommend It
- The 3000mAh battery provides excellent longevity for a 40W device.
- Premium build with a silky, tactile finish that feels fantastic in the hand.
- Simple operation — perfect for beginners who want quality without complexity.
Please leave it to Vaporesso to blend style with simplicity. The GTX One Pro mod is a lovely little marvel, a relatively compact, palm-friendly unit that somehow houses a 3000mAh battery and delivers 40W of output.
And Vaporesso just put so much evident love into this piece of kit! From the skin-like touch of the device to the soothing blue-light interface to the dedicated lock switch you can use to prevent pocket firings. It’s got the power and pleasure potential to fuel any style of vaping, providing 40W is enough for you (it is for most people).
Pros
- Compact and lightweight yet powerful.
- Beautiful design and interface lighting.
- Excellent battery life for moderate wattage.
Cons
- Limited to 40W — not ideal for heavy sub-ohm users.
- Slightly slower charging compared to USB-C models.
Geekvape Aegis Legend 5
An almost indestructible beast built for high-power performance and total reliability in any environment.
Why We Recommend It
- Its 200W output capability delivers exceptional sub-ohm performance — ideal for cloud chasers.
- Military-grade durability means it can survive bumps, drops, and even complete submersion.
- Geekvape’s advanced chipset delivers fast firing and precise wattage control for precise vaping.
When it comes to sub-ohm mods, Geekvape doesn’t do half measures. The Aegis Legend 5 is a mega-powerful 200W mod with not only massive outputs but also a ludicrous amount of damage protection as well.
The mod is impervious to dust ingress, can withstand submersion in water, and let me tell you, I just hucked one across the room full pelt, and it’s working fine. If you’ve got a rough lifestyle or clumsiness, this kit can handle whatever you throw at it.
Pros
- Exceptionally rugged and water-, dust-, and shock-resistant.
- Massive 200W power output for demanding tanks.
- Ergonomic grip and intuitive user interface.
Cons
- Bulky size may not suit all-day portable use.
- Batteries sold separately.
Aspire Zelos M80
A perfect mid-range all-rounder that balances power, comfort, and ease of use for everyday vapers.
Why We Recommend It
- 5–80W output range makes it versatile for both MTL and DTL styles.
- The 2600 mAh battery capacity ensures reliable performance throughout the day.
- Sleek display layout keeps your vape stats visible and user-friendly.
The Zelos 3 mod, released years ago, was a longtime favourite of mine. And Aspire’s Zelos M80 Mod has resurrected my old love! A chunky steel hunk of pocketable power, with a 5-80W MTL/DTL output range and a very decent 2600mAh battery.
The colour display screen is a delight and clearly displays all essential specs so you can stay informed about coil health and battery longevity. Maybe too chunky for someone who’d prefer a pod kit, perhaps not powerful enough for RDA use, but perfect for everyone in between.
Pros
- Durable build with premium materials.
- Versatile wattage range for adaptable vaping.
- Clear and bright colour display.
Cons
- A bit bulky for pocket carry.
- A 2600 mAh battery may require midday top-ups for high-wattage use.
Innokin Coolfire Z80 Nex
A refined update that strips away unnecessary extras for a cleaner, smarter vaping experience.
Why We Recommend It
- Streamlined controls make it intuitive for both new and advanced users.
- A single 18650 battery gives complete flexibility for personal power preferences.
- Locking switch improves safety when carrying in pockets or bags.
While the original Coolfire Z80 was ambitious, Innokin slightly misfired with confusing user modes that most vapers didn’t understand. The Z80 Nex update takes a novel approach by *removing* features, resulting in a much more streamlined device.
Requiring a single 18650 battery, the Z80 Nex can reach 80W and is wide enough to comfortably fit a chunkier sub-ohm tank if that’s your preference. And the manual locking switch means that pocket burns are a thing of the past.
Pros
- Compact size and comfortable grip.
- Simplified device navigation and firing controls.
- Broad tank compatibility due to balanced design.
Cons
- External battery required (not included).
- Wattage limit of 80W may not suit all sub-ohm enthusiasts.
Eleaf Mini iStick 20W
A discreet, charmingly simple mod that redefines minimalism and portability in vaping.
Why We Recommend It
- Ultra-compact build for stealth vaping or travel.
- Easy power adjustment via tactile buttons and a clear LCD.
- Reliable and beginner-friendly, ideal for MTL coils.
The first of two wildly different Eleaf mods on this list, the iStick 20W Mod is the perfect choice if you need a neat, discreet vaping mod. Barely larger than a disposable vape, the Mini iStick 20W Mod obviously isn’t a powerhouse, though it does contain a surprisingly decent 1050mAh battery!
The smooth matte edges are lovely to grip, with old-fashioned buttons that click nicely and a simple LCD giving you power readouts. It’s a new take on a classic design, prioritising pure function and comfort over fancy extras.
Pros
- Tiny yet well-built and comfortable.
- User-friendly and affordable.
- Crisp screen with straightforward controls.
Cons
- Limited wattage output.
- Smaller battery capacity—not suitable for long sessions.
Eleaf iStick Power 2
A true endurance champion with massive battery life and effortless performance for days on end.
Why We Recommend It
- The 5000 mAh internal battery offers unbeatable longevity in its class.
- 80W maximum output supports a wide range of tanks and coils.
- Comfort-focused design with stitched leather grip for a premium feel.
The Eleaf iStick Power 2 Mod is featured today simply because you cannot — and will not — find an internal-battery mod with greater capacity. Sure, it’s a bulky bit of kit. Yeah, it won’t fit in your breast pocket. But who cares —it’s got a 5000 mAh battery!
With that kind of power, you can use the iStick Power 2 at its 80W max for days before needing a recharge, and Eleaf made sure to prioritise grip comfort with this kit, clearly aware of its size and bulk.
Pros
- Outstanding battery capacity.
- Sleek aesthetic design with modern materials.
- Excellent value given the size and power.
Cons
- Quite heavy and bulky.
- Slower charging due to a large internal battery.
