Tube for me. I had a mini REO woodvil which was beautiful and a great vape but the form factor wasn't as comfortable in my little lady hands. With a tube and an Erlk I can get more juice on board and longer battery life than the REO mini. After awhile, the REO was just gathering dust. You guys with big paws are lucky to have so many options!

I started with the pen style batteries and could never imagine "smoking" from a friggin box! Soon tiring of switching out and charging batteries, my research took me to, of all things, the MVP2, one of those friggin boxes! But since it fit the bill of what I was looking for, what the heck, I went for it. And I must admit, I really liked the feel of box, the nice grip for an old guy with tremors. The pen styles were relegated to backups.

Then the Atlantis came along and I just had to give that a try. But then I would need a new unit to put it on, oh, what to do? After some careful debate, I opted for a cylinder, so picked up a ZNA 50 Clouper. Yeah, heavy and large, but for my hands, that is a plus.

So my answer? I like both! I find it nice to switch between the two and give my hands some diversity in the feel.

And after I get my Christmas money/gift certificates, I am going on line and picking me up the Kanger Sub and a new box mod to put it on. Then I( should be good to go for a few weeks before the latest, greatest new vape equipment is announced.

I like both, and choosing which to vape depends on which clearo, tank or atty I'm using. For the mini clearo tanks (e.g. Aerotank mini, EVOD, Aspire K1, etc.) I prefer the regulated tube mods I have. For RTAs I prefer a regulated box mod or a mechanical. RDAs I use normally only on tube mechs. For larger clearo tanks I tend to use them on both...it just depends on my mood. Right now I'm vaping an Aerotank V2 on a Zmax Mini (in 18650 mode). In a few minutes I'm switching over to an Orchid V4 on my VS DNA30.

I like box mods but it's hard to dismiss the ease of using and carrying this tiny thing. Perfect for away from home. Box mods sut on my end table as they fit there better than my pocket.

I prefer the form factor of tube mods, but I'm not so into the few regulated tube mods. What I'd like to see is an updated kick -- but with higher wattage (30 w) and slimmer size so that reducing battery size isnt necessary anymore. a mech mod + an updated kick would be my dream setup. I dont even know if this is possible, but I think it would be wonderful.

I'm not into boxes unless they're tiny and pocket-friendly like the rdna.
