what is the difference in mods?

I see the hybrid mods and I see the mechanical mods. What is the difference in them?

A hybrid is a tank and mod all in one. The tank/rba/rda portion makes direct contact with the battery and in many cases does not allow you to use any other tank/rba/rda with the battery tube section.

A mech mod typically has a threaded top cap the sits on top of the battery that has a threaded connector on it. This will allow you to pick and choose which tank/rba/rda you want to use.

In both cases you can find options for VV/VW as well.

Hope this helps.

Outstanding answer. I always wondered what the difference was. I just use my MVP and my Itaste VV/VW with protanks... Now that I have this Mega Pro tank I have been looking at other options...

The defacto stardard interface between tanks and mods is the 510 thread interface, which is a cigalike sized interface.

There are still a few tanks that use the bigger eGo interface which is 14mm diameter, but you won't find any drippers or RBA's that use it.

A hybrid system is where the tank might be like 22 mm wide and the mod is 22 mm wide and the two of them screw directly onto each other.

The center pin from the tank usually contacts directly onto the battery.

Perhaps in a couple years something like a 22mm interface will become a standard or maybe it will be 23mm or 26mm or 30mm.

Because the hybrid has no 510 connector part, they are often shorter than the regular mod.
