What do you prefer a Box Mod or Tube Mod?

I guess that since all I've used for the past 4+ years are REO's, I'm a box guy. They don't roll off the table 
Box (reo). Fits in my pocket (and my manly hand), never tips over, smaller form factor (with all-day juice storage inside in lieu of your second battery feature).
Was a tube guy for couple of years despite the hassle of them but wanted a regulated slightly higher wattage vape so bought a sig 50w box and now I don't think I could go back to tubes now. More battery's not a big thing for me have four on the go always take a spare when I go out so that didn't swing me. It is more comfortable for me to use I don't have to worry its going to roll off or fall over so easily and I think the form factor is better for circuit boards so no more worrying about over tightening the telescopic thread messing around with circuit board just simpler and easier.
Tube. Inhaling from a box seems odd to me. There's also the awkward button placements...
i like to keep my virtues in tact. by this, i mean i'm not interested in explaining where i don't put that thing that makes its way to my mouth pretty often.
although, i have no preference in shape or form factor for the most part, it's definitely my boxes that travel with me cross country.

Pack of smokes is box-shaped. It's what I became accsutomed to for 25 years, so it's what's comfortable in my pocket. REO Grand is pretty close in thickness, so it's what I choose.
Box mod. Better fit in the hand and easier to look after. I also don't have to really worry about it falling over.
Tube mod. Never understood liking box mods. That doesn't make box mod people necessarily bad people. Just different...a little off. They just seem like the kind of people who confuse snakes and lizards as pets. Snakes or lizards aren't pets. They don't get excited when you come home and want to play ball. They poop on your stuff and can't be trained to chase the drunken homeless on command. Snakes or lizards make nice shoes, boots or wallets but not pets. Lizards eat bugs so you have to go to the store and buy bugs to feed them. Who the hell goes out and buys bugs? Snakes eat mice but it's not like they are just let loose in the house to provide rodent control. And they just vomit what they don't digest. It's disgusting. So yeah, tube mod for me.
Without the experience of using both, I would have never known which one I truly prefer. I'm a reo gal, all the way down to my toes.
I prefer a regulated mod box. Because i like my face and i dont want it to be blown off.
But, i do plan on getting a full copper mech mod(tube) that i will never use, simply because i love the look of copper mod.

Got 5 box mods but I prefer tubes. Prefer a bottom fire button. Mostly mechanicals with around 1.2 ohms coils with a 7amp fuse. Just easier to carry around and tubes fit better in my tool bag. Customers ask me a lot what I use a mini torch for when they see it. LOL
At the moment tube but I really like the look of the E-Grip, so I could soon be changing to box mods.
Oh and Merry Christmas!

Box mods are super hot right now. If you had asked this question a year ago, tube would be far and away the shape of choice. The ebbs and flows of the vape world... I use both all of the time.
lol I agree with 98% (roughly) of your post. Yes, snakes, lizards (other weird stuff) makes much better wallets and boots than pets. But I'm a box mod person all the way. Tubes fall over too easy, don't wanna have to carry around a glass to put it in when I set it down. Fits better in my purse etc. Too many clearo's these days don't like being laid on their sides....had to put a row of sticky rhinestones on my tube mod to prevent it from rolling when I did lay it down. My hana clone stays where I put it even on not totally firm surfaces. I don't like the hard buttons on it, but other than that I'm happy. My vw gripper (box) was lighter and more comfy, but too thin to stay put. Am thinking about an IPV mini, but will wait and see a bit longer. Wishing I new someone local who had a reo I could try, and help me try out coil building. Gonna go visit Rat2chat2 when I win the lottery and try her reo(s)!! lol
Box all the way for daily carry but I have a copper tube for dripping at home. I imagine I'll use it quite a bit until I get another box mod and it'll probably collect dust afterward.
I resemble that remark.
Not that off though.
I don't mind reptiles at all. Snakes don't bother me. But a pet snake? Nope. That's not a pet. That's an animal that tolerates people in exchange for food. Kind of like a cat that won't allow anyone to hold or pet it and hisses if you get too close.
