The dizzying array of devices that you can now explore could leave you wondering exactly what you should buy. Many vapes appear to offer similar functionality and so it is tempting to simply stick with what you already know. But that could be a mistake.
One aspect of vaping hardware that is certainly worth thinking about is battery type. Size definitely matters, but it is also advisable to consider whether you should choose a device with a built-in battery or a removeable one.
If you can settle upon the right type of battery for your needs, you are more likely to find yourself with the ideal vape. Identifying the best type of battery for you will also reduce the number of devices that you need to look at before making your choice. This should ensure that it is quicker and easier for you to make your choice.
As with most things in life, there are upsides and downsides to both types of vape battery.
So, which should you choose?
Here are the factors to think about:
Mods and starter kits that feature built-in batteries are generally cheaper to purchase than devices with removeable batteries. Vapes with built-in batteries are are cheaper to produce and therefore tend to have more appealing price tags. If you buy a device with a removeable battery that battery will be an additional purchase as will the charger, adding to the total cost of the hardware. Batteries and chargers give you significant extra expense at the outset.
If you are looking for a cheap e cig when purchasing your device, you will likely be attracted to a model with a built-in battery. But it is important to factor-in the long term costs.
No battery will last forever. Eventually, every battery will stop holding a charge, and if the battery is a permanent feature of your vaping device, it renders the entire device redundant when it dies. With removeable batteries you would simply replace the batteries and then continue using your device. Buying a new battery or two would usually be cheaper than buying an entirely new mod and a charger will serve you well for years. The total cost of using a device with a removeable battery will be lower in the long term than vaping with a kit boasting a built-in battery.
With a fixed-battery mod, very little hardware is needed to transport power within the device. There's usually just a couple of soldered wires carrying power from the battery to the circuit board. A removable-battery mod needs a door to provide access to the battery. The door needs to be heavy and strong because it'll be used repeatedly. Under the door, you'll see heavy gold-plated connections for transporting power from the battery. That extra hardware adds to the cost of the mod, and it also adds to the size and weight.
A mod with a removable battery will almost always be larger and heavier than one with a permanent battery. If you are looking for a compact vape, you may need to invest in a model that has a built-in battery.
The outputs that can be achieved with built-in batteries are generally limited to 100W. That's plenty of power for most vapers and vape tanks. But some set-ups require higher outputs and if you are chasing clouds, you may be seeking more oomph than 100W. The most powerful vape kits feature removeable batteries, and these can power outputs of up to 230W. If you are searching for a powerful mod or one with complex functionality, you should explore those with removeable batteries.
If you enjoy vaping or need your nicotine fix, the last thing you want to experience is downtime caused by your battery running out of charge. Some devices don't enable you to vape while charging and constant charging and discharging isn't good for a battery anyway.
With a built-in battery, if is out of charge, you won't be able to vape until you have recharged it unless you invest in a spare mod. But with removeable batteries, you can keep spares and use them when required.
If you favour a simple, low wattage mouth to lung device, suitable hardware will be inexpensive, and you can keep an equally inexpensive spare device or mod to use in the event that your battery runs flat. In addition, you won't need the power offered by removeable batteries and so it is likely that a device with a built-in battery would suit you best. But if you are looking for complex functionality or significant outputs and therefore a more complex vape that would be costly to replace, choose a device with removeable batteries.
