Not sure what you mean, are you asking the difference between regulated and unregulated devices?
Regulated devices have variable wattage and variable voltage - Sometimes (not all the time) they have an internal battery, but other times you need to get an 18650 battery for it, the advantage to these is that you can control the amount of wattage or volts going to your atomizer, allowing you to find a nice sweet spot, and the vape you experience is more constant, but the downside to this is a lot of them are limited to a certain power (50W, 60W, etc) but there are a few that go up to 100W/200W which is plenty.

Unregulated devices (normally) use 2 18650 batteries, there are two types of these, series and parallel, parallel being the most common. With these devices you get the voltage of the batteries applied to the atomizer (if it's in parallel, the voltage is "shared", but with a series box mod, the voltage is combined, so both the batteries voltages, i.e 8.4v instead of 4.2v in a parallel - fully charged) with these unregulated devices, people prefer them as you can achieve high wattages.

There is a lot to consider and research when it comes to this, hopefully I've just scraped the basics.

I mean what are the differences between mod electronic ( tube ), a Box ( IVP d2 , snow wolf , etc) ?

There are two kinds of mods on the market--unregulated (mechanical) mods and regulated.

Mechanical mods are simply battery holders (usually tubes) that rely on the voltage your battery outputs--from 4.2v fresh from the charger to ~3v or so where the battery cuts off.

Regulated mods come equipped with an electronic chip (board) that regulates your voltage/wattage output up and/or down, in most cases, from 3v to 6 or 7v. Regulated mods come in all shapes and forms (tubes and boxes) and different chips (sub-ohm, temperature limiting, etc.)

I mean regulated tube vs box like snów Wolf.. there are differents if i want use max 20watt?

If you're not going to use more than say 20 watts, you can choose any regulated box or tube. Do you want to sub-ohm? Are you interested in temperature control? Do you want a box mod with internal or replaceable battery? The shape of the mod has nothing to do with its functionality. Choose what you like and what feels comfortable in your hand. There are many great and inexpensive box mods on the market--iStick 30, Heatwave Defender (36w), Innokin Cool Fire 4.

There's some language confusion happening. A box mod and a tube mod aren't the categories you think they are. "Box" and "tube" is just describing the shape of the mod, it's not a description for any sort of performance or technical specifications.

Both box mods and tube mods can be designed as regulated or unregulated, and both come in all varieties of power characteristics. If you want a 20 watt device there are both tube and box options available, both regulated and unregulated.
