What is your preference, tube or box?

I am looking at designing and building some custom mods using the DNA 20D and I wanted to know what the majority prefered. Box or tubes or some other shape.

 

My preference is definitely an 18650 tube mod. I do have a couple of box mods it's the tubes I use most of the time.

 

If I have to chose, tubes it is!!!

 

Tubes here as well.

 

Tubes!.......

 

I like both, but use tubes more:blink::laugh:

 

I am on the autocad playing around with some tube designs and different batteries sizes.

Trying to think of some cool designs and what metals to use.

BTW, this will probably end up being a DNA 20D tube mod.

 

Depends on the day. I have both in regular rotation.

BOX MOD Bottom feeder

 

I have 2x tubes to every box so tube.


From my phone

 

single button tubes ..box is ok if similar to MVP box

 

There are already enough boxes with a DNA chip in them. I need a nice flat top stainless steel tube mod. And if you make it telescopic I could quit buying mods (a guy can dream right)

 

The issue with the DNA 20 in a tube mod is the battery options, the battery you use with it has to be able to withstand at least a 7 amp continuous discharge. With those specs you are even taxing a panny 18650. That is why you see so many DNA 20 box mods made since they can use lithium polymer packs capable of a 20c discharge rate.

 

then think outside of the box

dont let the 1200 mah throw you off...dual battery...usb chargying system

Turnigy nano-tech 1200mah 1S 15C Round Lipo

a little tweaking and fitting....just a thought.lol

 

I actually prefer a box mod but, there's a problem with them. The box materials are generally either plastic, wood or cheap tin that's intended to be disposable (Altoids boxes etc.). The only exception I can think of is the Reo and I've never even heard of a stainless steel box mod. So, for a clumsy guy like me, there's a durability problem. I like the way they fit in a shirt pocket though.

 

Would be nice to have one designed like the Billet Box Billet Box Vapor Inc. Nice, durable and attractive!

 

On my phone right now but will post a couple of pics later. If you click my profile you will see an aluminum box mod, I am not sure if I have a pic of it under a car tire or not. Lol

I like both depending on the design..maybe you can make a DNA20 Dodecahedron.

 

I agree on the durability stand point but, a full stainless steel box mod would be crazy heavy! I personally think delrin has been over looked by most, the Mantis has been one of my go to mods for a while because of durability and ease of carry. I have dropped that poor mod on every surface you can think of and it just has some dings on it like any metal mod would but, it is probably a quarter of the weight ss would be.
