TOP PICKS: The Best 200W Box Mods

Over the past few years vape mods have been getting bigger, more powerful, and increasingly advanced. It’s hard to believe that until recently, most products didn’t exceed 20W. Now almost every e-cig manufacturer produces a dual 18650 box mod that pushes 200W or more. There’s a whole lot to choose from; below you’ll see our picks for best 200W vape mods:

Good 200W Box Mods (Under $100)

Let’s be honest, the majority of vapers don’t “need” a 200W device. The truth is that most people rarely exceed 100W, but knowing that it’s an option is definitely a big selling point. A bigger factor for many is that running dual 18650 batteries (required to generate 200W of output) will provide twice as much battery life as a single 18650 and prevent you from having to constantly recharge your device.

Although many people prefer something smaller with a single battery, a dual battery vape mod has plenty of advantages. These are our picks for the best 200W box mods that sold for under $100:

* This list of 200W devices was last updated on April 1, 2018. Most of these mods are now discontinued, and the prices in the store buttons were the prices at the time.

Smoant was relatively unknown until the Battlestar 200W Mod, which topped our list in 2017, but this year it’s been overthrown by Smoant’s latest device – the Cylon 218W Box Mod. The Cylon looks nothing like its modestly-styled predecessor, and it boasts a number of improvements (both aesthetically and technologically) that put it right at the top of our list again.

It has a beautiful high-end design that looks eerily similar to the YiHi SXMini G-Class (see below). Custom leather grips and an intuitive 1.3-inch color TFT display are the most obvious similarities. Plus, it provides loads of advanced features, including precision temperature control (Ni/Ti/SS), TCR, rapid-fire speed, and numerous customization options. A true value!

See Specifications

• Wattage range: 1 – 218W
• Temperature range: 200 – 600F / 100 – 300C (Ni/Ti/SS/TCR)
• Resistance range: 0.1 – 3.0 ohm
• Rugged zinc alloy chassis with quality leather grips

Aspire SkyStar 210W Vape Mod

• Wattage: 5 – 210W
• Resistance: 0.05 – 3.0 ohm

• Battery: Dual 18650

PROS:

• Sleek ergonomic design
• Quality build and finish
• Accurate power and TC
• Bright touch screen
• Easy-to-use menu system

CONS:

• Plastic battery door
• Hard to avoid fingerprints

The Aspire SkyStar is another beautifully designed vape mod that’s both unique and innovative. Providing up to 210W of output with full temperature control (Ni/Ti/SS), it boasts a stylish ergonomic design, a large 1.3-inch touch display, and a discreet full-length firing bar running down the side. It has a durable finish and comes in a variety of attractive designs with a fully customize-able display, TCR, preheats, real-time clock, and more.

Sleek, stylish, and super-advanced – the SkyStar was one of the best 200W box mods of its generation. It’s a little lighter than we expected (which could be a good thing or bad thing), but our biggest complaint is the screen – it’s a fingerprint magnet! Not a huge problem in the big scheme of things…

See Specifications

• Wattage range: 5 – 210W
• Temperature range: 200 – 600F / 100 – 315C (Ni/Ti/SS/TCR)

The Wismec family of vape mods has undergone plenty of updates; the latest being the Wismec Sinuous Ravage 230 Box Mod. Although Wismec has had some reliability issues in the past, it appears that they finally worked out the bugs with the Ravage 230. It’s accurate and precise, and an updated 510 pin eliminates some of the annoying issues of the past.

It has huge 1.45-inch color display and a cool, user-friendly dial menu that provides access to a full temp control suite (Ni/Ti/SS), preheat, TCR, real-time clock, and more. A huge step up from the Predator Mod!

Smok has had some hits, and a bunch of misses over the past few years, but we definitely feel like the Smok Mag 225W Vape Mod is a HIT. The stylish, pistol-grip design is the most obvious and unique feature that sets it apart from the competition. Plus, it has an upgraded chipset that makes it much more reliable than some of Smok’s recently retired products.

It has all of the advanced features you’d expect from a 200W device, including a large 0.96-inch color OLED display, full temperature control (Ni/Ti/SS), TCR, preheat and more. And the icon-based interface is super easy to use. One of the best 200W vape mods from Smoktech to date!

• Battery: Dual 18650

PROS:

• Sleek and sexy design
• Large color display
• Customizable screen layout
• Excellent venting

CONS:

• Temp control could be improved
• Blocky in the hand

The latest in a long line of Snowwolf mods, the Sigelei Snowwolf XFeng 230W Box Mod is undoubtedly the sleekest, and in our opinion the most attractive. It has a beautiful zinc alloy chassis with subtle but futuristic design cues and offers up to 230W of output with temperature control (Ni/Ti/SS) and TCR. The 1.3″ color screen can be displayed in multiple arrangements, and on the back, you’ll find a unique magnetic battery panel branded with zodiac signs.

Although the XFeng’s temperature control isn’t the most accurate, wattage mode works perfectly and we couldn’t ignore the device’s sexy looks. If precision TC isn’t a priority, then you’re likely to enjoy this mod.

It has a large full-color TFT display that provides an enormous amount of data, and a unique joystick control that you won’t find on any other device. Throw in an attractive zinc alloy body with various high-end accent options and the YiHi SXMini G-Class 200W Vape Mod is a true standout.

And rather than throttling down the chip’s capability, this one offers the full 250W! Otherwise, the HCigar VT250 Box Mod has all of the same advanced features as the Paranormal and comes with eVolv’s companion eScribe software.

Aesthetically, the HCigar VT250 is definitely unique. It has a sleek, rounded shape and is the epitome of “ergonomic” with its strongly curved zinc alloy chassis. It offers precision temperature control, preheat, auto-sensing resistance, resistance lock, cell by cell monitoring, and much more.

Dual-Battery Safety

Every mod on this list runs on two or three 18650 batteries. Use matched cells of the same brand, model, age and charge level, and charge and replace them together.

FDA’s vape battery safety tips warn against mixing brands, charge levels, or old and new batteries. Keep spare cells in a case, replace any battery with a torn wrap, and don’t charge your mod overnight.

These box mods are for adult vapers. The NHS says e-cigarettes are not recommended for non-smokers.

These were our top 200W vape mods when this list was last updated. There are certainly other great devices worth considering, what would you consider the best 200 Watt box mod?
