Box Mods

Box mods are one of many forms that e-cigs consumers have made extremely popular in recent months. The box configuration grants for longer lasting batteries and a larger tank that can hold more e-liquid. Black Mesa Vapors offers a great selection of many of the most prevalent box mods on the market today.

The iStick from Eleaf is one of the most compact, user-friendly 20W mods out there, and once you hold it, you won't believe how much power they've packed into such a small space! The iStick uses a DNA-style screen that shows output voltage, output wattage, atomizer resistance, and battery life at all times. It's variable wattage from 6 to 20W and variable voltage from 3 to 5.5V. It is capable of firing resistances from 1.0Ω to 3.0Ω. The 2200mAh battery is charged via the included Micro-USB cable, and will last for approximately 22 hours of constant use at 3.7V with a 2.0Ω atomizer; higher voltages and lower resistances will decrease your battery life. This kit will come with all the iStick accessories, including the charging cable, a 510-to-eGo adapter, an AC adapter, and the user manual. The iStick holds its own as a primary device, but can also be the perfect stealth vape!

Become a vaping god with the God180 S box mod! This is a variable wattage mod that can be adjusted from 5 watts all the way up to a whopping 180 watts! This mod is designed to take three (3) 18650 batteries with a continuous discharge rate of 25A or higher. It's highly recommended to use rebuildable atomizers only, in order to get the most out of this extremely powerful mod. However, this mod does have 510 and eGo threading, along with a drip well and removable beauty ring with built-in airflow holes. This mod can be used with atomizers with resistances ranging from 0.2Ω to 4.0Ω. The God180 S has a fantastic screen that's easy to read, and a comprehensive, yet simple, menu system. 5 clicks of the firing button will turn the device on or off. 3 clicks of the firing button will bring you to the menu system. Use the + and - buttons to navigate and the firing/power button to make a selection. The screen will always show your atomizer's resistance, the current wattage setting, the calculated output voltage, your battery life, a puff counter, and the current temperature of the board. There's also temperature protection, short circuit protection, and reverse-battery protection. This is truly a beast of a mod, capable of insane power output and more than a full day's of use on a single charge, even for the heaviest vapers. Please watch the video below for complete instructions and safety tips. Comes with a zippered case and one drip tip.

We highly recommend setting your wattage much lower than you think is necessary, then adjusting upward as needed.

Rebuildables: The Latest Evolution of E-Cigs

Electronic cigarettes have taken the world by storm and are predicted to take over traditional tobacco cigarettes (analogs) within the next decade. Vapers are growing by the thousands and the electronic cigarette market is currently mass producing a variety of new designs daily. E-cigs have quickly evolved and are leaving many consumers puzzled over which design is best suited for them. The latest style of e-cigs to catch the eyes of many vapers are rebuildables. However, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Instead, let’s start at the beginning.

Many new vapers have chosen an eGo style e-cig, which is typically the cheapest and smallest among e-cigs, but is very capable of getting the user to put down analogs. For the majority of e-cig consumers, the eGo style remains their device of choice and is currently still the king of the market. Examples of eGo style e-Cigs include eGo-T, eGo-C, and eGo passthrough batteries.

Some users tend to want more from their e-cig so they have turned to mods or APVs (Advanced Personal Vaporizers). Mods are bigger and better e-cigs that can crank out more volts or watts, thus producing more vapor. Many mods have bright LCD screens which allow the user to adjust their voltage or wattage along with a variety of other options. Some of the best mods include the SID and Zmax.

There are also mechanical mods which do not have LCD screens. They are as their name implies, simply mechanical. Some vapers either use one 18650 battery or stack two smaller 18350 batteries for even better vapor production. Examples of mechanical mods are the Maraxus and the QQ mod.

And finally the latest evolution in e-cigs are the rebuildables. Rebuildables consist of Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers (RDAs), Rebuildable Atomizers (RBAs), and a hybrid. All rebuildables are for advanced vapers who have taken their vaping to the next level. They are hobbyists of the vaping world who stop at nothing to achieve the biggest clouds of vapor. They have even coined this massive vapor production as "chasing clouds”.

The RDA consists of dripping Eliquid directly on an exposed wick where it is then vaporized into massive vapor clouds. Vapers rebuild the wicks out of silica, ekowool, and cotton to name a few materials. Of the rebuildables, the wicks of an RDA are usually the easiest to rebuild, but are typically the most difficult to maintain because the user must frequently apply or drip more Eliquid. Some of the more common RDAs include the Nimbus and Trident.

RBAs are similar to the RDA, but contain a tank and conductive coils in addition to wicks. The longevity of these rebuilt wicks make the RBA the easiest to maintain. Their wicks are made from steel mesh, porcelain, and surgical cable. A huge advantage of the RBA is the increased flavor gained over a standard cartomizer or clearomizer tank that is typically found on the eGo style e-cig.

The last type of rebuildable consists of a dripping atomizer and a hybrid tank. They usually consists of several parts including a tank and a drip-style wick that constantly remains soaked in Eliquid as opposed to that of an RDA which dries out every few inhales. Some of the most popular hybrid rebuidable atomizers include the Kayfun and Ithaka.

We recommend our readers do more research on the advanced world of rebuildables. You should watch many instructional YouTube videos to fully understand how ohms, volts, and watts work before attempting to rebuild any atomizer. Exercise extreme caution when rebuilding atomizers or you may face the risk of overloading batteries which can cause them to explode. You should also purchase a good quality voltmeter before you jump into this hobby of rebuilding atomizers. Until next time, happy vaping!
