Tube vs. Box
The first differentiation in mod style is the form factor. Tube mods are cylindrical in shape, about an inch in diameter, and four or five inches tall. They're shaped like a vape pen, but much bigger. Some have built-in rechargeable batteries, others are simply a tube to hold a replaceable 18650 high-discharge lithium ion battery.
Stick Mod
A newer, in-between form of mod that's gained popularity in recent years is the stick mod, a tube mod that doesn't have the adjustability of a more advanced regulated device but retains some of the safety protections. These frequently come with a vape tank as part of an all-in-one (AIO) starter kit and fixed rechargeable battery.
Squonk Mod
Finally, there are bottom feeder, or "squonk" mods. These look like box mods, but with one notable difference. Instead of using a clearomizer tank or traditional rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA), these models have a bottle of e-liquid housed in the same body that holds the battery and (if applicable) chipset.
