With capabilities like temperature control or variable wattage, side-by-side mods are perfect for both beginners and advanced vapers alike. With the increased portability, gone are the days of heavy starter kits, especially for vapers that keep their device in a pocket or purse. With the portability of pod mods and the technical features of a box mod kit, these side-by-side offerings are meeting a want and need from many vapers.

In retrospect, we can see why side-by-side mods and kits are growing in popularity. One drawback on SBS mods is the limiting diameter for atomizers due to the layout and configuration of the chassis. Another great reason for Side-By-Side Kits are their ability to pair with rebuildable atomizer options, something pod systems do not commonly offer. Offering a perfect middle ground between box mod kits and pod systems, SBS devices deliver the increased power of box mods and starter kits but with greater output than simple pod systems.

SBS mods are powered by a single 18650, 20700, or 21700 battery, making them much smaller and discreet than some of the larger box mods. Although box mod kits offer plenty of power and battery life, thanks to the dual battery layout this has increased the weight and affected the portability of the vaping device.

However, with the movement towards smaller, more compact vaping kits, SBS have reemerged as a viable option. Side By Side Kits and Mods have been around for a while, but higher power box mods and starter kits have pushed them out of the vaping spotlight.
