So, whether you're after something sleek and simple or a feature-packed powerhouse, you'll get them here at MIST.

What Are Box Mods or Vape Mods and Why Should I Choose One?

Box mods are advanced vaping devices that offer maximum control, power, and battery life compared to simpler vaping devices. They feature adjustable settings like wattage control, temperature control, and various vaping modes, allowing you to customise your vaping experience. Box mods are ideal for vapers who want longer battery life, consistent performance, and the ability to use a wide range of tanks and atomizers.

What Are the Different Types of Box Mods Available?

There are three main types of box mods:

  • Internal Battery Mods - Built-in battery, simple to use, ideal for beginners
  • Single Battery Mods - Uses one replaceable battery, offers good balance of power and portability
  • Dual Battery Mods - Uses two batteries, provides maximum power output and longest battery life

Which Type of Box Mod Is Best for Beginners?

For beginners, internal battery box mods are the most suitable choice. They offer:

  • Simplified operation with no need to purchase separate batteries
  • Built-in safety features
  • Easy USB charging
  • Less maintenance required
  • Compact size and portability

However, if you're comfortable with basic vaping knowledge, single battery mods are also a good starting point. 

What to Know Before Buying A Vape Mod? 

Before buying a vape mod, it is crucial that you should check whether it operates using an internal or external battery. If it’s the latter, this means you will need to purchase an 18650 / 21700 battery. Mods do not have an included battery out of the box.


Regardless of what you prefer, do know that most modern vape mod boxes are equipped with safety features like cut-off protection. 


In addition to the battery, you should also consider the maximum wattage output of the box mod. Sub-ohm box mods, for instance, have a higher wattage capacity to accommodate direct-to-lung vaping. MTL box mods typically fall up to 50W. 


Extra features like temperature control and screen display will depend on your personal preferences, vaping experience, and budget. 

What is the Best Vape Mod that I Can Get Today? 

Deciding what the best vape mod for you is will depend on several factors, such as vape experience, vape style, and budget. We suggest reading our best vape mods guide, in which we test the latest box mods available today. 

What Features Should I Look for in a Box Mod?

Key features to consider include:

  • Power output (measured in watts)
  • Battery capacity/type
  • Display screen clarity
  • Menu system ease of use
  • Available vaping modes
  • Build quality and durability
  • Size and ergonomics
  • Charging capabilities
  • Safety features

How Do I Know What Power Output (Watts) I Need?

The power output you need depends on your vaping style:

We suggest choosing a mod that exceeds your current power needs to allow room for experimentation and different tanks.

Are Box Mods Compatible With All Vape Tanks?

Most modern vape box mods are compatible with standard 510-threaded tanks. However, consider:

  • Power requirements of your chosen tank
  • Coil resistance compatibility
  • Size compatibility (tank diameter vs mod capacity)

Always check the manufacturer's specifications for both the mod and tank to ensure compatibility.

Keep in mind that, in general, the tanks found in pod vape kits are not compatible with box mods. You can check by removing the pod tank. If it is flat and doesn't have a protruding threaded pin, then you can't use it with a box mod.

If you need recommendations, we suggest reading our best vape tanks review. 

What Safety Features Should I Look for in a Box Mod?

Important safety features include:

  • Short circuit protection
  • Overcharge protection
  • Over-discharge protection
  • Temperature control
  • Low resistance protection
  • Reverse battery protection (for replaceable battery mods)
  • Auto cut-off

These features protect both you and your device during use.

Frequently Asked Questions

For vape mods that use an external battery, it is not included and is sold separately. As for box mods with built-in batteries, you don't need to get an 18650 / 21700 battery. Most internal battery-powered vape mods come with a charging cable out of the box, but we highly suggest reviewing the contents first. If it doesn't have one, we have a charging cable for vape mods and vape kits. 

Yes, you will need to buy a vape tank aside from the battery. Vape tanks attach on top of the box mod, and without it, you cannot use the mod and start vaping. There are a lot of vape tanks to suit your needs. There are MTL vape tanks, sub-ohm vape tanks, and rebuildable atomizers. If you are a beginner and prefer a cigarette-like style of vaping, we suggest picking up an MTL tank. But if you consider yourself a cloud-chaster, a sub-ohm vape tank is better for you. And, if you already have experience building coils, RDA/RTA tanks are more suitable.
