When it comes to hitting the buy button for your next vaporizer purchase, you’ll have to make a critical decision: go external or elect built-in battery mods? The marketing machinery will often tout the external platform’s appealing attributes, key among them greater range for road-tripping. However, built-in battery mods have several advantages that deserve serious consideration.
Perhaps the most important factor is price. Although the common vaping battery – the 18650 format – is widely available at attractive rates, those that are specifically optimized for vaporizers are pricey. To get the range advertised among externally powered devices requires forking over a not-insignificant sum of money. But with built-in battery mods, you don’t have to worry about that: just vape and go!
Further, built-in battery mods are ideal platforms for beginner enthusiasts and those transitioning from the analog format. That’s because integrated-battery systems are simpler to use and operate; they’re dummy proof, really. And they avoid some of the complexities of the external battery, such as never mixing old and new batteries in your vaporizer.
