Do you love the convenience and simplicity of the best pod vapes but wish that you could find a device with just a little more power? It’s time for you to upgrade to a pod mod. A pod mod combines the pod-based design of a traditional pod vape with the power of a vape mod, giving you a device that’s capable of producing enormous clouds but is still completely pocket friendly. The best pod mods have advanced features like variable wattage, replaceable coils and more, but some of them are so small that you can wrap your entire hand around them. A pod mod is the perfect blend of power and portability.
Are you ready to step up to a new vape that lets you carry your own personal weather system in your pocket? These are the best pod mods that you can buy today.

The Geekvape Digi Max isn’t just one of the best pod mods on the market today – it’s arguably one of the most beautiful vapes ever created. A high-resolution touch-sensitive display dominates the front panel of the device, displaying all of the information that you need at a glance and giving you quick access to wattage changes and other adjustments.
The Geekvape Digi Max is as powerful as any vape mod. Sporting an internal 3,000 mAh battery, the Digi Max operates at up to 80 watts and offers full wattage control along with three automatic vaping modes – Smart, Boost and Eco – that configure the device based on the resistance of the installed pod.

Who says that a pod mod has to be big or heavy? With the Caliburn G4 Pro, the engineers at Uwell have managed to create a device that delivers huge power – up to 35 watts – but still has the traditional stick-shaped design of entry-level pod systems. The real star of the show here, though, is the amazing display. The Caliburn G4 Pro has a large touch screen that stretches across the entire front of the device, and it has an incredibly intuitive interface that makes changing settings an absolute breeze. When you want to change a setting, all that you need to do is tap the thing you want to adjust.
Vaporesso XROS Pro 2

Some people judge the quality of a vape mod by its features, and others are more interested in using a device that feels special in the way it looks and feels. Whichever group you fall into, we think you’re going to be very impressed by the Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 because it’s truly one of the most advanced pod mods on the market. Featuring an ultra-light magnesium alloy construction, the XROS Pro 2 is actually lighter than almost any vape that you can buy today – even many disposable vapes with plastic shells.

The Digi Pro is just a little bit bigger than a traditional stick-shaped pod vape, and the increased size allows it to house a high-capacity 2,000 mAh battery. The color screen has touch-sensitive panels that make it easy for you to make quick wattage adjustments, and the device’s zinc alloy shell feels very solid in the hand.

Have you ever seen a vape mod that was smaller than a deck of cards? That’s basically what you get with the Voopoo Argus A, which looks like a miniature version of a traditional vape mod but seems almost impossibly small for a device that’s capable of operating at up to 30 watts.
The Argus A doesn’t just look great because it’s tiny. It also features the striking addition of a dual-zone display in the shape of two overlapping circles. In addition to displaying more information than you’ve ever seen on a tiny pod mod, the screens also show an animation while you vape.

This incredible fist-sized vape operates at up to 45 watts, and the pod holds a very impressive 4 ml of vape juice for all-day enjoyment.
The Geekvape H45 isn’t just powerful; it also has a variety of cosmetic improvements that make it look and feel remarkably more luxurious than the original Geekvape Aegis Hero. You’ll love the huge color selection, and you’ll also enjoy the padded leather grip that gives the device a soft feel in the hand. We particularly like the clever design of the pod, which integrates the airflow control into the base of the mouthpiece.

We love the innovative design of the SMOM RPM 100 pod, which allows you to adjust the airflow simply by twisting the pod. The pod also has a locking mechanism that holds the coil in place, allowing you to remove the pod from the device without worrying that the coil will fall out.
