What is the Difference Between Vape Mods and Vape Pod Systems?

If you've recently switched to vaping, the two kit terms can be confusing. 

There are many adults who have entered the world of vaping and have a lot to learn about vaping.

While mods and pods are similar, they are not the same thing. Not only do the two devices look different, but they also serve slightly different purposes.

Let's take a look at the differences between vape mods and vape pod kits and the pros and cons of each so you can decide which one is best for your needs.

Vape mods, also known as box mods, are modifiable box-shaped devices that allow vapers to customize their vaping experience. 

Mods are ideal for users who prefer to engage in a variety of specific types of vaping, such as mouth-to-lung (MTL) or direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Most vape mods are designed for sub-ohm vaping.

More cloud generation - Mods are compatible with vegetable glycerin e-liquids, which produce incredibly dense vapors and allow for special vape clouds. If you're looking for a complete cloud to give you a great visual experience, this option is your best option. 

More customizable - Mods allow you to add panels with various colors and patterns, which will help you make your own panels. These devices also allow you to adjust their voltage and power. With mods, you can even build coils and replace tanks. Some mods even come with more than one coil, so you can vape different types on the same device. These tweaks will allow you to customize your mod to fit your vaping style perfectly. 

Better battery life - Mods charge much less often than pods. 

Less portable - Mods are much larger than pod systems, which makes them inconvenient to use on the go. 

No auto fire - Whenever you want to take a puff from a mod, you have to press the fire button. This extra step isn't necessarily a huge inconvenience; however, if you're looking for the smoothest, most streamlined experience, you may want to use pod mods. 

Harder to use - Mods require a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of the experience. 

Use more e-liquid - Mods use a lot of e-liquid in the vaping process, which can get quite expensive over time. 

Nicotine salts are not allowed – Nicotine salts with sub-ohm modules are highly discouraged as they will damage the fuel tank. If you want to use this type of e-liquid then you should use pods. 

More expensive - The price of box mods is not high. Still, they are more expensive than pod mods, especially since one of the advantages of mods is that they allow for customization that can quickly become expensive. In other words, if you splurge on a mod, you may want to pay to make it fit your unique style as well. 

Vape pods, also known as vape pens, pod mods, and closed pod systems, offer a smaller, smoother experience. Many people tend to use pod systems first because of their simplicity and ease of use. 

Pod mods have become increasingly popular in recent years. When they were first released, they didn't taste as good and weren't as effective. However, their design and technology have evolved and they are now serious competitors for boxed mods. 

Extremely portable – Pod mods are great for people who want to use their e-cigarettes on the go as they are smaller and lighter than vape mods. This option fits easily in your pocket or purse and travels wherever you go. 

More discrete - Small size and ease of use make e-cigarettes in this way very discrete. People around you may not notice that you are vaping. If you don't want to draw attention to the fact that you are vaping, you should opt for a pod system. 

Cheaper - If you want to stick to your budget and be more cost-effective, pod mods might be the way to go. 

Easier to use - The Pod system is ideal for those who are new to e-cigarettes and want to get started quickly without complicated setup procedures. 

Shorter battery life - Compared to box mods, batteries in pod systems must be charged frequently. 

Less customization - most pod mods are very simple, what you see is what you get. There are very few opportunities to curate the vaping experience based on your specific style. 

Vape pods are perfect for those who want a low-key vaping experience that they can engage from anywhere. 

Another aspect of vape pods you should be aware of - is disposable prefilled pods vs. refillable pods. 

Refillable pods are bulkier and require more effort to put the e-liquid into the pod. 

In most cases, the refillable ones are cheaper. However, depending on your vaping habits and how fast you pass your e-liquid, using a single-use pod may not be that expensive. 

Both options are generally cheaper than using mods because with mods you have to refill the tank and replace the coils a few times a month, which can add up quickly. 

When it comes to choosing between mods and pods, it all comes down to your personal preference and vaping goals. 

If you want a customizable experience, then mods are the way to go. Conversely, if you want to use your e-cigarette on the go and enjoy a quick and easy experience, then a pod mod or e-cigarette pen will be better for you.
