Variable Wattage Devices

Variable wattage vape pens are all the rage these days, but what's the big deal? I mean, do you even need all of the fancy pants features? As long as a pen makes decent vapor, it will suffice, right?

Well, any pen that produces decent vapor will help you quit the cigs. That part is true just like any food with decent nutritional content will help you survive and be healthy. But we don't just eat broccoli, spinach, and beans. Variety is the spice of life and without it, we get bored.

Variable wattage devices are part of the spice of vape life. You don't have to have one, but life is better and more fun with one. Also, studies have shown that people have more success with quitting tobacco when they use a more powerful tank style device vs a cigalike (Nicotine and Tobacco Research).

Being able to customize your wattage gives you the ability to tailor your vaping experience to your liking. If you want a warmer throat hit, you can do that. If you like a cooler, denser hit, you can do that.

You will be able to create an experience that is more likely to satisfy your urges with a variable wattage device. You can swap out your tank and use a wide range of atomizers. But if your vapor pen just thumps at one setting, it'll greatly limit what you can do with it.

What's The Difference?

It is important to know the difference between variable wattage box mods and pens.They are very different devices and will give you a whole different range of functionality.

A VW pen usually has about three preset wattage levels. I've noticed a lot of them seem to be in increments of 10W, but not all of them. This allows you to customize your experience within a small range.

You'd be surprised at how much of a difference 30 watts can make. It can be the difference of your pen not satisfying your urge to smoke and your pen getting the job done. By cranking up the wattage, you will get more vapor. At lower wattages, you'll get less vapor but it will be cool and dense.

Box Mods

VW box mods are totally different. They allow you to pick a wattage between two numbers. A 50W box mod would allow you to vape anywhere between 5W and 50W whereas a 50W pen would only let you vape at 30W, 40W, and 50W. You will definitely get more flexibility with a box mod.

Typically, box mods are more powerful than pens. Of course, there are tons of weak box mods on the market. But overall, box mods are way more powerful than pens. For the price of a 50W vape pen, you'll be able to get a 100+ watt box mod.

Box mods are what most vapers use to power up all of the beastly tanks on the market. These tanks give off excellent flavor and monstrous clouds, perfect for giving you a satisfying experience. They are high wattage tanks so most pens can't power them up. Box mods can fire them up without a problem. After all, it is what they're designed to do.

There are tons of VW box mods on the market. Variable wattage vapers are more into box mods than they are pens. That's why variable wattage manufacturers focus more on box mods.

Given the size and shape of a box mod, it's easier for manufactures to pack them with tons of power and useful features.

Vape Pens

Vape pens are usually associate with beginners. There are advanced pens, but most of them are good starter devices. The more advanced pens are called vape pen mods. They're more powerful than starter pens and have variable voltage or variable wattage capability.

The most advanced vape pens are called mechanical mods. Those are really advanced and are not controllable variable wattage devices. The wattage decreases in mech mods as the battery gets weaker, but you can't set the wattage. We highly recommend you stay away from mechanical mods until you are an expert at vaping and battery safety.

Now that you know a little more about the differences between box mods and pens, let's take a look at a couple.
