One of the best things about vaping is the fact that you can customize your experience in almost every way.
When you first start vaping, it is wise to start with a pre-set device that has simple controls, unless you know the technicalities of the settings and what you want or need.
The following is an overview of the parts of vape pen mods, how they are assembled, and how they are set up.
If you have more questions, you can ask at your local specialty vape shop.
Pen mods
A pen mod is a vaping device with many parts, which allows you to control the settings.
It consists of a battery (either rechargeable, like a cell phone, external, or disposable), to provide power to the heating element.
There is also a tank, clearomiser, or pod to hold e-juice and a coil.
Other parts that can be replaced or specialized are the mouthpiece (drip tip), and atomizer.
A clearomiser is a type of tank that often has the atomizer inside it.
An atomizer is a heating element which turns the liquid into a vapour. There are usually three parts to an atomizer — a heating coil, mesh bridge, and a wick.
Assembling
When assembling your pen mod vape device, you start at the battery — ensuring it is charged.
The battery can also contain the circuitry for the device — often called a mod.
The battery connects to the tank or atomizer.
Make sure you prime your coil before you put the tank or atomizer.
To prime the coil, simply add a little e-juice onto the coil, to saturate it.
Fill the tank with e-juice, then screw all pieces together — ensuring not to overfill it.
Finally, you can screw the mouthpiece on and allow the e-liquid to soak into the wick before using it for the first time.
Settings for flavour and experience
When it comes to settings for your vape device, it is primarily a matter of personal choice and the coil you use.
Most people prefer a temperature of around 100 °C to 315 °C — with 200 °C to 250 °C being the most popular.
The other settings you should play with to find the right one for you is the wattage and voltage.
Voltage and wattage depends on the amount of vape cloud, flavour, or throat sensation you want.
Most coils have wattage recommendations, though the higher the watts, the stronger the throat hit.
Some vape devices also have an airflow control.
To have a tight draw, you will want a decreased airflow — for an airy draw, you can increase the amount of airflow.
A vape pen mod is a more compact device than a mod box.
They give you the option to customise your vaping experience and the quality of the flavour — giving you the choice to vape your own way.
Vape pen mods consist of a battery, tank (pod or atomizers can be used), smart chip, and a clearomiser or coils.
All of these parts can be made of different materials, colours, designs, and sizes to fit your personal preferences.
