VV/VW DEVICES
A Variable Voltage / Variable Wattage (VV/VW) device is any battery-powered vaping device with user-defined adjustability of its output, either by volts, or watts, or both. With the wide variety of atomizer resistances now available to vapers, VV/VW devices have become commonplace. By contrast, many older ego-style and cigalike vaping devices are not VV/VW devices, and pressing the firing button on them provides users with the same power output until the battery is depleted.
EGO STYLE BATTERIES
eGo Style batteries are usually cylindrical, pen style batteries that vary in length from 2” to 5” and vary in battery capacity from 300mAh to 1600mAh. “eGo-style” denotes the threading on the terminal where the battery and the atomizer/clearomizer connect, with eGo batteries generally using a male 510 thread and eGo atomizer/clearomizers using a female thread. eGo Style batteries may or may not be variable voltage / variable wattage adjustable.
BOX MODS
Box mods are powerful personal vaping devices. Box mods generally have four components: A battery bay, a digital DC-DC converter (chip), control buttons, and an atomizer connector. Most box mods use one or two removable batteries for power, and these batteries are often 18650 size. A box mod’s chip regulates the power applied from the battery to the atomizer. Using the control buttons, users can modify how the chip performs. The atomizer connector allows users to connect different types of atomizers to the device. Most box mods have electrical safety features such as short circuit protection and reverse polarity protection.
MOD BATTERIES
Mod batteries are rechargeable, high power lithium-ion cells with a positive and a negative terminal; they provide power for box mods and mechanical mods. There are several different sizes of mod batteries available, but the most common by far is the 18650 size, which offers excellent power output and longevity in a compact, lightweight form factor. There are several metrics for measuring the capacity and power output of mod batteries, and it is worthwhile to do research before choosing one battery over another.
