I've been thinking about getting into the box game, aka a Hana/CANA/Cloupor whatever clone, but I've been having some doubts lately. Now I know ohms law and I've had a Mech/rda/rba for close to a year now I think. But for the last year I've been thinking in volts so watts arent exactly my forte..

IF I'm using a Box mod is the big difference that the chip maintains the battery to continually fire at say 3.8 volts or whatever watts? I guess what I'm really wondering is if itll hit as hard as my mech does or will it just be like meh. Whats the big difference when you switch? Does the box just regulate the battery? Etc.

Thanks in advance!

With a mechanical mod, you have to build coils in the sub-ohm range (less than 1.0 ohm) to produce enough watts to make billowing clouds of vapor. With this comes a degree of potential danger, as the lower you go in resistance the closer you get to a dead short and a venting battery. In addition, only certain IMR/hybrid batteries have enough amps to safely fire such a coil; using a lesser battery could also cause a battery to go into thermal runaway.

With a regulated mod which uses the new DNA chips, you can get the higher watts (20 - 30) without needing to go into the sub-ohm territory with your coil builds. You will also gain voltage regulation throughout the battery discharge cycle, with no voltage dropoff as the battery discharges.

A properly built device like a DNA or custom modules can hit much harder than a mechanical and extend how many times you can vape it.

Voltage sag under load is not present in a proper regulated device @ setting 4v you get 4 volts at 8 v you get 8 volts. A mech will sag to 3.3-3.5 under load a dna will not, there is no comparison to a good regulated device to a mech. You will be shocked how hard 4v hits when it's really 4v @.5ohms

Reo is the only mech that's a competitor because of the cool bottom feed.. Bottom feed a regulated device and reo no more , but juice does not play nice with electronics so they are rare..

I see the attys listed in your sig Land0Calrissian. Are these your favorites, are you using dual coils on all and what is your favorite resistance on them?
