Things have really changed in the last 6 months. While at vape blast we saw next to no mech mods... Everybody was vaping on boxes of some kind.
Sorry I delated a bit of you, but I think, at least in Europe, that the future legal propositions have something to do with box mods being "in".
The new laws risk to be anti cigalikes and anything that looks in any way like a cigarette, although I yhink that considering a 18650 mod hes absolutely NO similarity with a cigarette!!
However, Box Mods here are very much promoted here and, IMO, it's because of this ridiculous law!
Also, with the sub-ohming craze, although I don't criticize that which I've not tried and probably WON'T, a box is better adapted for batteries, chips and something to hang on to when the blast hits you.
But mainly I think it's because here no publicity is going to be allowed for any cigarette-like PV, and any thing round can be considered by certain anti-ecig senators to be vaguely like a cigarette
But there are some very nice Box Mods about, even if I'm on this topic as I'm going (and it's decided now!) buy my mate and I a Semivar V3 each.
