What Are the Different Vaping Modes?

Vaping has become a way of life for millions of people worldwide with diverse devices and settings accompanying the different preferences. Most modern vaping devices have a mode-switching characteristic, offering several different modes aimed at creating a uniquely distinct experience.

Whether you're a beginner or already a vaper, knowing more about the different modes offered by vaping devices can help you have more fun and utilise the full potential of the device.

Wattage (Power) Mode

Wattage or power mode will probably be the most common and most basic mode you will see from almost all vaping equipment. The wattage mode is used when one controls the amount of energy delivered through the coil, hence managing the delivery of vapour and potency of flavour.

In wattage mode, the device operates at a constant wattage irrespective of the resistance of the coil. The more power you set, the more vapour you will get and the stronger the flavour will become. However, it is very important to find the right wattage for your coil to avoid dry hits or damaging the coil. This mode is perfect for those who prefer simplicity and consistency without having to adjust further settings.

Temperature Control Mode (TC)

The people who want a much more precise and customised vaping experience can make use of another mode of temperature control. In this mode, the user can regulate the temperature of the coil to avoid dry hits and ensure that the e-liquid is not burnt. The TC mode has capped the temperature of the coil at its maximum level, thus ensuring that it delivers a smooth and consistent vaping experience.

TC mode is largely utilised in cases where coils of stainless steel, titanium, or nickel are used since these materials do not degrade with temperature and therefore will ensure a much more reliable vape. The major benefit of the TC mode is that it gives better, more controlled vaping with reduced chances of overheating and coil burnout.

Bypass Mode

Bypass mode effectively mimics the mechanical mod experience in the sense that the battery provides direct power to the coil without regulation. Here, its output will solely be dependent upon the current level of the battery and the resistance offered by the coil. With the low resistance, so would be the power delivery amount, and therefore, even more vapour.

This mode is preferred by experienced vapers who enjoy the raw vaping experience and are also knowledgeable about their coils and battery safety. However, this mode may be hazardous for users unaware of such variables as it might cause coil damage or overheating in case of wrong use.

Voltage Mode

Power output depends on coil resistance in voltage mode. For the traditional user, voltage mode allows one to experiment with different coil resistances and power settings in pursuit of an ideal vape. However, it is a little more technical to understand how voltage plays with resistance and can be less precise than wattage or temperature control modes.

Pulse Mode

This mode of some newer devices helps one achieve vaping consistency. During pulse mode, the devices will pulse their power output through the coil rather than a constantly running current. This usually produces smoother vapours as well, because the coil gets power intermittently in this mode. Pulse mode avoids overheating of the coil and produces thick, flavour-rich vapors. It is also a great mode for users who would want to experience a balance between wattage and temperature control without making manual adjustments to the settings. This will also extend the life of the coils by reducing the load on them.

Smart Mode

Smart mode is a feature that automatically adjusts the wattage or power settings based on the resistance of the coil. This model is designed to simplify the vaping experience for beginners by providing optimal settings that enhance flavour and vapour production. Smart mode is usually available on friendly devices, where one installs a coil, and the device automatically determines the best settings. This removes the guesswork of selecting the right wattage or temperature for the device. It is perfect for new vapers or those who do not want to manually adjust the settings. 

Conclusion 

The first step to personalising your vaping experience is understanding the different vaping modes available on most modern devices. You have everything from a simple, straightforward wattage mode through very precise temperature control to a much rawer feel with bypass, offering you something different, and appealing to all levels of vapers. Experimenting with these modes and finding out what suits your vaping style may be great enhancers of satisfaction for you when you are seeking intense flavour, big clouds, or a more controlled vape. Expect even more innovation in the settings of devices as this technology advances to allow you to customise and perform at a level you have never imagined.
