DotMod
DotMod is the brand for vapers who want a refillable pod kit with some real weight and finish to it, from the compact DotPod line to the boxier DotBox mod. We stock the full DotPod size range plus the DotBox 220W V2, so you can match battery size, draw and colour to how you actually vape, all genuine UK stock.
DotMod vape kits
DotMod vape kits come in two ranges here: four refillable DotPod pod kits for mouth to lung vaping, and the DotBox 220W V2, a box mod kit for direct lung vaping on shortfills. They suit two quite different ways of vaping, so the range you pick matters more than the model.
What is DotMod?
DotMod is a vape hardware brand based in San Diego, California, with its kits manufactured overseas. Most of the range pairs a metal body with a colour screen and adjustable power: the DotPod Max V1.5 and DotBox are aluminium, and the DotPod Plus is zinc alloy. Every DotMod kit we stock is refillable.
The two DotMod ranges
DotPod pod kits
Four sizes, from the 1000mAh DotPod Lite to the 60W DotPod Max V1.5 and Max Lite. Each takes a 2ml refillable pod and suits nic salts or 50/50 e-liquid on a tight draw, and the two Max kits open up to a looser lung draw.

The DotBox 220W V2 fires from 5 to 220W on two 18650 batteries, which are not included. It comes with the top fill dotTank Max V2 and is built for direct lung vaping on high VG shortfills.

A DotMod kit asks a little more of you than a prefilled pod kit: you fill it yourself, change pods or coils as they wear, and on most models set the power. In return you get a choice of coil resistances, a screen that shows your settings, and running costs well below prefilled pods. If you are new to refillable kits, start with a DotPod; the DotBox suits vapers who already use a sub-ohm tank.
How to choose a DotMod kit
At a glance
- DotPod kits suit a tight mouth to lung draw on nic salts or 50/50 e-liquid
- The DotBox 220W V2 suits a direct lung draw on high VG shortfills
- The DotBox runs on two 18650 batteries, which are not included
- Each DotPod size takes its own pods, so buy spares named for your kit
- Every DotMod kit except the DotPod Lite lets you set the power
1. Start with how you vape
If you draw vapour into your mouth first and then inhale, the style most people start on, a DotPod is the right kit. If you breathe vapour straight into your lungs and buy shortfills, the DotBox is built for that and a pod kit is not. Our guide to MTL, DTL and RDTL vaping explains the difference if you are not sure which you are.
2. DotPod Max V1.5 or DotBox 220W V2?
These are the two most capable kits in the DotMod range, and the closest call for anyone who wants more vapour than a small pod kit gives.
| DotPod Max V1.5 | DotBox 220W V2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Kit type | Refillable pod kit | Box mod with tank |
| Power | Up to 60W | 5 to 220W |
| Battery | 2100mAh, built in | Two 18650s, not included |
| Screen | 0.87 inch colour | 1.08 inch colour |
| Draw | Mouth to lung to direct lung | Restricted to direct lung |
| Coils | DotPod Max cartridges or DotCoil | DotCoil V2 |
| Best e-liquid | Nic salts and 50/50 | High VG shortfills |
Take the Max V1.5 if you want one pocket kit that covers a tight draw and an open one. Take the DotBox if you already vape direct lung and want the power and battery life to match.
3. Match the e-liquid to the kit
DotPod pods use small coils that wick best with nic salts or 50/50 freebase e-liquid. The DotBox runs sub-ohm coils in the dotTank Max V2, which want high VG shortfills. Get it the wrong way round and a shortfill tastes burnt in a pod coil, while a thin salt floods and spits in a sub-ohm tank. The one exception is a DotPod Max fitted with a low resistance DotCoil, which handles a shortfill well.
4. Plan for batteries and spares
Every DotPod has a built-in battery, so there is nothing extra to buy, though the DotPod Lite does not include a charging cable. The DotBox needs two 18650 cells before it will fire, so order a matched pair alongside it. For spares, each DotPod size takes its own pods and the DotBox tank takes DotCoil V2 coils, so buy the ones named for your kit.
Before you buy
- Choose between a mouth to lung DotPod and the direct lung DotBox
- Match the e-liquid: nic salts or 50/50 for a DotPod, shortfills for the DotBox
- Have two 18650 batteries ready if you choose the DotBox
- Check which pods or coils your kit takes before ordering spares

DotMod FAQs
Which country is DotMod from?
The United States. DotMod is a vape hardware brand based in San Diego, California, and its kits are manufactured overseas.
Is DotMod a good vape brand?
Yes, if you want a well-made refillable kit. Having used the range, we rate DotMod among the best-built pod kits and sub-ohm kits we stock: they feel solid in the hand and perform well day to day. Pick the range that matches how you vape, though, because a DotBox is the wrong kit for a nic salt vaper however well it is made.
Where can I buy DotMod in the UK?
Vape & E-Liquid stocks the DotPod range and the DotBox 220W V2, dispatched from our warehouse in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Orders placed before 4pm go out the same day, and delivery is free next day on orders over £35.
Does DotMod make a prefilled vape?
Not in our range. Every DotMod kit we stock is refillable: you fill the pod or tank with your own e-liquid and replace the pod or coil when the flavour fades.
Do DotMod kits come with batteries?
The DotPod kits do, each with a built-in battery from 1000mAh on the Lite to 2100mAh on the two Max kits. The DotBox 220W V2 does not: it runs on two 18650 cells, which are not included, so have a matched pair ready before your kit arrives.
Which DotMod kit has the longest battery life?
The DotBox 220W V2, because two 18650 cells hold more charge than the 2100mAh battery in a DotPod Max, though vaping it at high wattage drains it faster. In the pod range, the DotPod Max V1.5 and Max Lite last longest.
Do DotPod pods fit the DotBox?
No. The DotBox kit runs the dotTank Max V2 tank on DotCoil V2 coils, while each DotPod size takes its own pods. Buy spares named for the kit you own.
Where can I find a DotMod manual?
Our hub has setup and troubleshooting guides for the DotPod Max, DotPod Max Lite and DotPod Lite. The DotBox 220W V2 comes with a user manual in the box.
