They are so many vape mods with different appearances and functions in the world now.

The atomizers have been developed from original 510 disposable with cigarette size,shape,then replaceable atomizers like 510/eGo DC cartomizer,Then 510 DCT tank CE4 CE5 series with long wicks,Then mt3 protank series with bottom replaceable short coil,For now,rda/rba atomizer RTA with OCC sub ohm & RBA coil.

The mods have been developed from 510 disaposable battery with cigarette size,shape,then rechargeable 510/eGo battery, then ego evod vv/twist/PT battery,VV mods and mechanical mods with tube style,For now,big power,big battery capacity(dual battery),TC mods with square shape are welcomed.

So according the tendency,whats vape mods do you expect in the future?

I have a feeling that they will try to regulate the hell out of it, but I don't see them being able to shut it down. Then if they do I see a lot more stealth mods being created. People can be pretty creative when they are trying to get away with something. I see fewer people looking to make clouds so less vapor expressed. If however they don't try to regulate it out of existence, then I think that you will see mods develop and change to keep up with the trends. Kind of like cell phones. They used to be huge, then they slowly went tiny and discreet and now they are getting bigger again. But it will be fun to watch how things change and how they revert back to things that have been done forever. Like fashion.

My current device is an istick with an eleaf tank, and although it's small as far as these things go, it's still heavy enough to weigh down my shirt pocket and I'm always aware that it can fall out and get damaged. So the perfect ecig for me would be the size and weight of a cigalike but with a battery with enough power to last all day and a tank with enough capacity to also last all day and the ability to generate enough vapour/flavour to be satisfying. Is this possible? Well battery technology is leaping ahead, and atomiser design is progressing at a fair rate so maybe - the tank capacity will be the biggest problem. If anybody ever does crack this they'll sell millions.

Box mods with a standard sized chip you can replace with nothing but a screwdriver.
And a 20/22mm treading standard interface to replace the 510 thread standard;
(what we call topcaps on tube mechs are really just thread adapters for the 510 cigalike size standard)

Not in the absence of a vast increase in energy density in batteries. That's not impossible, BTW, as there any number of eggheads backed with tons of cash working on the problem. The LiO2 cells are looking interesting, for example. There will never be any way to reduce the volume of e-liquid; there's a 1:1 correspondence between the liquid and vapor state of any fluid. So a steamthrower is still going to drink juice, and a tootle puffer will still use a lot less.

I would not be surprised to see a difference in the way the fluids are vaporized, to eliminate the wick. Something like a stainless clad piece of copper heat sink, so the heating element could be physically separated from the juice/vapor chamber. Heat one end of the copper bar, and let conduction bring the heat into the chamber. A better means of mounting the atomizer will probably also be forthcoming as the 510 connection is structurally weak. Indeed, we already have (true) hybrid mod/atty combos, and ProVape is using their P3 (large diameter, and thus much stronger) connection and offers at least one atomizer that fits it.

if battery technology leaps that far ahead it will be revolutionary way beyond the ecig application.

ot in the absence of a vast increase in energy density in batteries.

It seems like hardly a week goes by without me hearing about some researcher reporting they've come up with the next big thing in battery design - big energy densities & superfast charging. But it's always a long way from blue sky research to a usable consumer product.

No but realistically, we're all probably being overly optimistic about our predictions for battery technologies. The 18650 battery was around a long time before people were sticking it in vaporizers, and when there's a big jump in capacity it's usually a huuuuge deal, and usually it's designed for specific industries. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be seeing any cigalike-sized battery with 18650 capabilities anytime in the next 10-20 years. There has been talk of solid state batteries since as early as 2011, and yet (as far as I know) they haven't been used in actual application, and are probably still a far way off from the consumer market, or more particularly, use in a vape.

All that said, a regulated mod with an easy-to-replace/cheap-ish chip would be a real gamechanger. It'd be super sweet to stock up on some chips and be confident that, even if regulation hits, I'll have the ability to self-service myself a new regulated mod. As it is, it would be a challenge because none of the regulated mods are particularly "user-serviceable". It'd be nice if that'd change, but I'd doubt it, as it means less money in the manufacturer's pockets.

They're furiously working on it. Good batteries would do a great deal to "decarbonize" our energy system without extracting the horrible costs of large scale wind and solar. With good batteries, very small scale generation facilities-- read installed on homes by consumers-- become useful in a national energy strategy because it obviates the energy density problem, currently about 1W/m^2. Going that way would allow us to use a lot of area currently devoted to housing and retail/commercial purposes, and provide a financial benefit to the owners at the same time. It would further assist in hardening the distribution system against EMP or terrorist attack or any other danger you can imagine. Such systems would work like a UPS for computers: the output comes off the battery, and the input to charge the battery can come from anywhere, solar panels or the grid or anything; the battery doesn't care. So, yeah, they're working on it furiously, with all the resources they need. But genius is where you find it and, while we're still a long way from it, there is a finite minimum as electrons have a physical size. As you observe, they haven't yet produced it in consumer-usable packaging. Ask me, the answer will not be found in chemical storage batteries. What we really need is a capacitor that can be control discharged. That way you can amp up the voltage with better insulation between the conductors and transform it down to something useful as it comes off the cap. I had a natter on this very subject with a EE who works with supercaps in power systems not long ago. We concluded it would be possible to build a "car mod" using caps as the power source, no bigger than a current 18650 tube mod, and keep it useful by resting it in a charging cradle between drags. And, of course, any 1-200 watt DC regulated power supply could be re-purposed to power a vape mod, so long as you don't mind the mod having a cord plugged into the power supply.

There is somebody making a combined ecig and mobile phone that might do the job, though it sounds like a really terrible idea.

Sadly, Vaperanks is a shill site. They will say anything about anything to make money.
The people behind it are leaches on vaping society.
I can't actually believe these types of website are still getting away with it.

I feel dirty just visiting that page, but I'll let you off as your a good bloke. :)
