The hype around mods has come full circle, and boro vape mods are increasing significantly in popularity. We’re referring to the compact, portable vape mods that have recently started making their way to the masses, despite the first boro vape mod being introduced on December 8, 2012, by Doug Dino.

By the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll know all of the basics so that when shopping for a mod of your own, you’ll know exactly what to look for. Ultimately, what we’re trying to achieve is to help people make smarter buying decisions by being more informed. Enjoy!
What Is A Boro Vape Mod?
A Boro Vape Mod is a device designed for vaping that utilizes a specially made tank, referred to as a Boro. The boro tank features a unique design that many product manufacturers have adapted to, creating various internals, such as RBA’s (rebuildable atomizers) and bridges (adapters) that are compatible. The boro tanks now feature a universal design that makes them compatible with a variety of boro vape mods, allowing its users to move one tank and its internals to another device. These mods are referred to as an AIO (all-in-one), meaning that the device and tank are one unit (tank rests within the device), even though they can be separated from one to another type of boro tank, RBA, and/or bridge.

To learn how the Boro name was founded, BilletBox.info provided an informative explanation of it on its Billet Box FAQs page.
How Do You Use A Boro Vape Mod?
You can use a boro vape mod in two ways; by using a rebuildable atomizer and building the coils yourself, or by using a specific bridge and/or a specific boro tank that will allow you to use various pre-built coil heads. There are several manufacturing brands that make different RBA’s, some being more popular than others. There are also several RBA’s that come with bridges that act as adapters, and standalone bridges, giving you the opportunity to use specific coil heads.
