Best Vape Mods

While there are dozens of types of e-cigarettes, the vape mod is perhaps the most popular and widely seen among vapers. The term may not be the most descriptive, but generally speaking, vape mods categorize any device that uses a larger battery, features variable wattage or voltage, and utilizes either a sub-ohm tank or RDA which can be removed. The devices are generally quite versatile, and will often sacrifice portability for power, performance, and customizability. 

Unlike some e-cigarettes, which are generally cylindrical, vape mods can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, giving vapers a plethora of choices if they care about ergonomics. Vape mods can often be purchased in bundles — including the mod and tank — making them ideal for budget-friendly vapers or new vapers looking to pick up a device that will last them a while. The inclusion of a tank is definitely something to be considered when looking at a vape mod, though in some cases you may be able to purchase just the mod itself. 

Why choose a vape mod?

Above all, vape mods give users a great sense of customizability over their vaping and allow users to try out a variety of tanks, RDAs and RTAs if they choose. The ability to control wattage allows for the personalization of a user’s vaping experience, and the larger devices often incorporate robust batteries that last longer and output more power. Ultimately, a vape mod is ideal for any user who isn’t too concerned about portability and discretion, as these devices are somewhat bulky and often produce large amounts of vapor, or are designed to. 

As with most devices in vaping, there are thousands of options for vape mods, each with their own pros and cons. While all vape mods do share quite a bit in common, in terms of functionality, there are several differences in terms of design, materials, and the chipset powering the device. 

VooPoo Drag Mini

Based on the incredibly popular VooPoo Drag and Drag 2, the Drag Mini serves as a more compact version of the two aforementioned devices. Styled after the Drag 2, the VooPoo Drag Mini features the distinct resin backing, on an even smaller and more ergonomic body. In terms of internals, the VooPoo Drag Mini comes packed with a 4400mAh internal cell and the rapid-firing GENE.FIT chip.

The GENE series of chips has been a favorite among vapers since the original Drag, due in part to its fast ramp-up time, accurate ohmage reading, and precise controls. The use of the GENE.FIT chip allows the Drag Mini to work with temperature control for Ni/Ti/SS and TCR. The device will support atomizers with a resistance range of 0.5 – 1.5ohms and 0.05 – 0.5ohms with TCR.
