Myvapesite: Your bestE-cigarette shop
If you use a modern regulated battery module, do you have the possibility, to set different e-cigarette modes, with which you can change and optimize your e-cigarette experience. However, for many smokers this is more confusing than useful, because they don't even know, what the many different mod modes have to offer and how to use them. A lot of potential, that such mods offer, remains unused. So that you can and know how to use your BoxMod optimally, what's inside him, we give you an overview of the current mods, which are available for today's battery modules, and explain, what they are and what they can be used for
Set the desired mode on the battery carrier
You can see on the battery module display, which mode is currently set. Many modules allow you to change modes, by briefly pressing the power button three times and then using the directional buttons to select a new mode from the menu.
The choices are usually：
Variable power mode (VW or POWER)
Variable voltage mode (VV)
Temperature mode (TC, VT or TEMP)
Start or Smart mode (SMART or S)
Counterclockwise mode
Color temperature mode
TCR-Modus (M1, M2, M3)
Press the power button again, to confirm your selection. The new mode should now appear on the display. Of course, the operating functions vary depending on the manufacturer and model. A look at the user manual will give you information about this, how to set the vape mode on the battery module. You can almost always find these on the manufacturer's website online.
Variable power mode for battery mods
Probably the most popular and frequently chosen mode for BoxMods today is Watt mode. It is easy to use, so that even newcomers can quickly get used to them, and reliably delivers good performance when set correctly, with which even long-time e-cigarette users are satisfied. So if this is your first time holding a regulated module with different vaping modes, We recommend you, Try the Watt mode first. You will soon achieve convincing results.
Watt mode is suitable for all e-cigarette users, who want to make their e-cigarette experience as easy as possible, without having to deal with complicated settings, but still want to determine the performance of their e-cigarette themselves.
Use your module's watt mode correctly
In Watt mode you can easily adjust the burning power of the atomizer head in the atomizer. The module provides the voltage regardless of the resistance of your power coil (in Volt) automatically like this, that the set power in watts is always achieved. The watt mode is therefore suitable for almost all types of evaporator heads.
But beware: Too much current can damage the atomizer head and make it unusable – the steam tastes burnt, or it simply no longer evaporates. To avoid this, you should stick to the recommended performance range. The manufacturers of ready-to-use evaporator heads usually specify the watt range, in which the individual coils should ideally be used. The maximum value should not be exceeded.
The motto applies here: set as many watts, that the mod evaporates well and achieves a good taste and a pleasant tingling sensation, but don't overshoot the mark! More watts means more steam, but that doesn't necessarily improve the taste.
To find the right wattage for your battery module, We therefore recommend you, Start with the lowest possible value and then gradually increase the power, until you find your personal sweet spot.
Variable voltage mode on the battery carrier
Variable voltage mode was the first setting mode, which was available to vapers and which could be adjusted using the small wheel on the first adjustable battery module. However, it is being used less and less, and many of the newer mod models no longer have voltage mode in the menu. We have included them for the sake of completeness.
Temperature profile of the battery carrier
Temperature mode is at least the second most popular mode. Here you can set the maximum temperature, to which the heating coil of the coil should be heated. The module regulates the power output like this, that the maximum temperature cannot be exceeded. On the one hand, this has the advantage, that your box does not constantly fire at full power and thus protects the batteries. On the other hand, you can fully enjoy the flavor spectrum of the liquid, as the flavors have different flavor nuances at different temperatures.
Your mod does not determine the temperature of the electrical wire with a thermometer, but calculated, how the resistance of the wire changes when heated. Therefore, not all wire types are suitable for temperature modifications.
Correct use of battery module temperature mode.
The most common wires for temperature mode are stainless steel (V2A or V4A), Titan- and nickel wires. For this reason, most modules are available in three temperature modes: SS for stainless steel (stainless steel), TI for titanium and NI for nickel. These three types of wires change their resistance in different ways when exposed to heat and therefore have different temperature coefficients. These are already preset in the corresponding mode, so all you have to do is choose the right wire. The names of the different battery carrier modes and their selection can be found in the operating instructions in the menu. You can learn more about the different wires and their properties in our article on DIY wires.
So that your module can measure the output resistance correctly, is it important, to choose the right wire. For ready-to-use atomizer heads, this is specified by the manufacturer. In addition, all materials must be at room temperature. Therefore, you should let the e-cigarette cool down, before setting the temperature mode, otherwise measurement errors may occur. The temperature displayed by the module may not be correct. The evaporator should already have cooled down, when you insert the new evaporator head.
To find the right temperature for your best e-cigarette experience, we also recommend here: Start with a lower value and increase it slowly.
Bypass mode for modules
In bypass mode, your BoxMod simulates the behavior of a mechanical module. Unlike regulated modules, these MechMods have no controls- or protective electronics and only pass on the existing output voltage to the heating coils of the evaporator head. The amount of steam depends on the resistance of the coil. As the battery charge decreases, the voltage provided and thus the performance decreases over time. In bypass mode you can see, how it works with mechanical modules, without relying on protection against short circuits, Deep discharge, Reverse polarity or overvoltage. That's why, that you can't turn it off in any mode with a regulated battery carrier.
Correct use of your module's bypass mode.
It is important, that your current atomizer head can handle the performance. Otherwise, don't think about it too much – Simply set the bypass mode and start vaping your e-cigarette!
Start-up- or smart mode for mod
The start-up- or Smart mode is still a fairly new invention and is therefore mainly used in newer battery mod models. With some older modules it is possible, Start- or install smart modes via software updates from the manufacturer. These module modes were developed, in order to make dealing with the supervised modules as quick and easy as possible, especially for beginners.
In the starter- or Smart mode, the module automatically detects the resistance of your current atomizer head and automatically sets the recommended power (in Watt) a. You can then adjust this value up or down, similar to Watt mode, and also store it with the help of some battery modules. For some modules you also have the option, Create different resistance curves in start-up mode or smart mode, so that your saved watt value is adjusted every time you change the evaporator head.
Use the start-up- or Smart mode of your module optimally:
Trust is good, but control is better: Today there are a large number of atomizer models and countless different atomizer heads on the market. It can happen, that the coils are not identified correctly or that the software makes measurement errors. Some voltage regulator modules also automatically select the maximum of the recommended power range.
That's why we recommend, the selected power mod with short, Test carefully with light puffs. If the taste is okay, you can cheer him on a little harder next time. Does the vapor taste strange or is it a bit smoky?? Then it's best to set a little less wattage on the battery carrier!
Counterclockwise mode on the module
The CCW mode (Custom Power Curve / Fully Controlled Power) gives you the opportunity, Customize your e-cigarette experience even more closely to your personal preferences. You can set here, How many watts your own battery module should deliver per second of vaping, and you can plan the power curve completely in advance.
If the power is increased gradually and the liquid is heated more slowly, you will get a richer taste, as more flavors can develop. Another advantage: You save money. Your module does not always start at full power, so it uses less electricity, which saves the battery. Your atomizer head also has to withstand less and lasts longer.
Correct use of your module's counterclockwise mode.
First, observe your migration behavior. Most smokers start with a softer hit and are strongest in the middle of the hit.
Assumed, Your turn lasts approximately 7 Seconds and is strongest in the seconds 4 and 5. Then set your preferred wattage for the seconds 4 and 5 a, z. B. 40 W, and select a lower power for all other seconds.
This is an example
Of course, you can also set very unusual power curves and create unusual vaping experiences. Try, which is possible, but pay attention, that you do not overload your atomizer head!
CCT mode for battery carriers
Similar to CCW mode, some modules are also in CCT mode (Custom Curve of Temperature / Complete Control of Temperature) available. With this battery mode, as well as with the CCW mode, You can plan your e-cigarette experience precisely and determine it yourself. Here you can set the maximum temperature, which the heating wire of the coil should reach in every second of pulling.
Here too, the advantages are obvious: more taste, Less power consumption and longer lifespan of the evaporator head.
Correct use of your module's CCT mode.
Because CCT mode is an extension of classic temperature mode, Of course, you need an atomizer head with a cable for temperature-controlled atomization.
Here too, you can experiment with different temperature profiles as desired. It is important, that the load limits of the coils are strictly observed.
TCR modes on modules (M1, M2, M3)
The TCR mode (Temperature Control by Resistance) is also a mode for temperature control when vaping. In contrast to the known temperature modes, no temperature coefficients are stored for the different wire types, but must be entered manually. To use TCR mode, you need to know the temperature coefficients of the wires and then enter them yourself.
This mode is therefore particularly suitable for technically savvy e-cigarette users, who like to move away from the usual standards and self-winding coils with unusual wire types, like silver plated copper wire or similar, want to use.
Correct use of the module's TCR mode.
TCR mode is typically divided into three subcategories (M1, M2, M3). So you can store the temperature coefficients for three different types of wire. You can find the temperature coefficients for the individual wire types from the manufacturer under the relevant information or through internet research. Some vape blogs and vape boards provide tables of temperature coefficients for different types of materials.
In TCR mode you normally have to 3 Digits below M1, Enter M2 or M3. It consists of the 3., 4. and 5. Place after the decimal point of the TCR value. A nickel wire (Ni200) hat z.B. a TCR value of 0,006000. So for this wire you give 600 a. How exactly you can set the TCR value on the battery carrier, You can find out more in the operating instructions.
As with regular temperature-controlled e-cigarettes, we also recommend this: It's best to start with low temperatures and slowly work your way to the sweet spot!
We hope, that with this overview we were able to shed some light on the steam modes and you might have a better idea, what your mod can do. We hope you enjoy trying out the different battery carrier modes and, above all,: enjoyable vaping!
