I've been wanting to get a DNA30 mod (like a lot of other people), but besides the ZNA, I do not like the look of box mods. Is there a reason why there seems to be more box mods rather than tubes mods? Has there been a sudden popularity of people changing to box mods or is it a manufacturing process reason of some sort?

Boxes are more readily available, less machining required so cheaper and easier/more space to work in.
That's what I figured. There's probably less R&D that's need in box mods also, since there is more room. Well, I hope more tube mods pop up in the future.
It's with any box mod. I like that flush all-in-one look between a tube mod and a tank. The ZNA is the only that I like because it's a "bube" mod (tube/box) and I can make it look more like a tube mod by getting a bigger tube. Also, that ray gun looking drip tip HoH has is super sexy.
The pack of stinkies that I grew so accustomed to for so many years had a box-shape. I prefer a boxmod over a tube for pocket-ability.
As others have said, it amounts to the real estate necessary for construction of a DNA+battery+buttons+connector+bottom cap+spring= >6" before putting a 2"+ tank on top. Hell, it'd be like carrying a friggin rolling pin around lol.

Easier to make a box mod because you don't need a lathe for example.
I got a DNA 30 last week, I'd love to make a tube mod but I don't have the resources - making a box mod instead.

I was actually looking at that the other day. I was thinking about getting one, but it still uses the 33.3 chip. My other option would be the Futura, but I have no idea when those will be back in stock.
Exactly. The DNA 30 Board is not curved so it will not contour to the shape of a tube. Unless they make a curved chip, which will never happen, then your still going to need a tube that is as wide as the chip itself and find a way to make it float in there without it floating around. I can easily go grab an altoids tin and use that, but no one really has metal tubes laying around unless your still sending your mail in those tube shooters...

Every VV/VW chip is exactly the same, they're either put in a recessed channel in the tube or placed in a half tube - which is placed within the (tube) mod.

No need to curve it. The provari and many other vv/VW mods have a circuit board inside. So does the futura.
I personally don't like box mods. Very unelegant and low tech. Holding a big square metal box in my hand? This is the best form factor we can do in 2014?
I like box mods. And the whole curve thing was a joke
