Best Small Vape Mods: Finding a Tiny Mod for a Stealthy Vaper
Small vape mods are the perfect companion for busy, on-the-go vapers who are not always at home. Small vape mods can still carry essential components like a rechargeable battery or a refillable tank only in a reduced, more manageable size that can easily hide in a closed fist or pocket.

Mini vape mods take the vaping scene to a new level, taking a lot of the high performing components from larger vape mods and turning them into small compact vapes. Typically, mini vape mods have a much smaller battery; resulting in shorter battery life. However, this is a compromise most people are ready to make for the smaller design.

This is the largest component of your device and the thing that gives the most result when you are looking to change the size of your overall mod. Typically, a larger battery will require a larger mod to hold it; it is good to have a little experience with vaping to understand how much you vape and the size of battery you will need.
Lithium Ion batteries are not to be taken lightly. Especially when it comes to vaping. Make sure that the battery size is not more than what the vape mod can handle. And always make sure to use batteries that have not been damaged.
What are mini vape mods?
Miniature vape mods appeal to the vaping community that prefers portability and ease of use, rather than high performance and long durations of battery life. Additionally, small vape mods are extremely common in the stealthy vaping scene, more on this below. You will see many different styles of mini vape mods, some with external tanks others with inbuilt tanks.
What are stealthy vape mods?
As mentioned above, mini vape mods are sometimes referred to as stealthy vape mods. This appeals to a community that enjoys a more discreet vaping experience; resulting in lower battery life, less vapor production but a much smaller device. Stealthy vape mods are not only in the e-liquid vaping market, there are many dry herbs, wax & concentrate vapes that also have stealthy designs.
Another reason to look into small vape mods is that it is bad form to expose others to second-hand vapors and can even give some people health problems if they are second-hand much. Having a stealthy vaporizer can minimize how much second hand vapors people around will have to tolerate. That’s good form and a polite way to vape in addition to being discreet.
Typically, you can expect a stealthy vape mod to have one solid color and a size that will easily fit in the palm of your hand; making it extremely easy to cup in your hand when using.
Who will use them?
People that use mini or small vape mods, as mentioned above; normally prefer to have a more discreet use of vape devices. This is opposite of sub-ohm vapers who try to create the largest plumes of vapor and gather as much attention as possible. Also, people who do not want to carry around a huge device in their pocket will opt for these smaller devices.
Now that marijuana is becoming legal in more and more places, there is a much higher demand for stealth vapers. The people that need to be discreet when using weed vapes are growing in number all the time.
Things to consider
There are a few things you will want to consider when looking to get a mini vape mod. Understanding what each component and feature has to offer you will make it much easier to decide on exactly what you need, and what you do not.
TANK SIZE
Coming hand in hand with the mod, the tank size will hold your atomizer, juice and the other important things for your device. Having a larger tank will obviously reduce the discreteness of your device. However, it depends on the amount you vape and type of atomizer you require. Some brands offer an all-in-one device that has the tank built into the mod, making the device extremely small and compact.
DISPLAY
This is an option for vape devices; however, I think it can help out a great deal with compact vape mods. Some devices offer a small screen on the side of the device, once again, this will probably affect the size a little. The screen offers some important information on the status of your device. Being able to see when your battery is low is a great thing to have, with these small vape mods this is quite a common occurrence.
Sub Ohm vaping is the way to go for big clouds. This can be done even with these small vape mods that can fit in the palm of the hand.

TYPES OF MINI MODS:
All-in-one mods: This is typically the most compact type of mini vape mod. Most all-in-one mods will have the tank located within the body of the mod, this allows for a much smaller overall size of the device. However, this will more than likely reduce the access to the device when it comes to maintaining. Normal mods: This is your standard mini-mod, they will look exactly like normal vape mods that you will find on the market. However, the battery and tank are typically smaller making the overall size of the device compact or mini. It is worth mentioning most mods will use the standard 510 threaded connection, giving you the ability to swap and choose your mod or tank.
VAPOR PRODUCTION:
This is an option for vape devices; however, I think it can help out a great deal with compact vape mods. Some devices offer a small screen on the side of the device, once again, this will probably affect the size a little. The screen offers some important information on the status of your device. Being able to see when your battery is low is a great thing to have, with these small vape mods this is quite a common occurrence.

My way of understanding the significance of vaping came not only through the disruption of smoking but its effects on society as a whole. Now I bring people to vaping and bring vaping to people. I love using new gear, writing in-depth reviews and generally nerding out about vaping to like-minded people.
