Just curious why anyone would need more than one?
Why have more than one mod?

Your question should be "Why does anybody want more than 3 mods?"
Everybody needs 3 mods - a spare and a backup for the spare.
It's not like you can pop across the road and buy a new RX200 at midnight if yours packs up.
Above that, who knows what drives us? I've always been a gadget nut but I'd run out of stuff to dribble over.
Phones had got boring, PC's had got boring, vaping has opened up a whole new scene.

If you're depending on vaping to keep you off cigarettes then I do think it's vital to have a back up, just in case of failure, or loss. As Ment says, it's not so easy to pop out and get a new one at short notice, and you rarely do get a warning.
Then there's the 'fit for purpose' thing - I started with my main mod that I could use all day but then wanted something small and pocket-friendly for popping out.
Then I got concerned about damage to my precious favourite mod so wanted a cheap 'beater' mod I could use at work all day and not worry about if it got knocked over.
Then I got sick of swopping tanks (I have several on the go at once with various flavours) so got another mod to join the daily cycle.
Then I wanted one with longer battery life and more power.
Then I saw a REALLY pretty one ........... and so it goes!
Yes, the 'reasons' gradually become 'excuses', but I do believe the first two are absolutely valid. And maybe the third .....

In case one decides to start ''smoking'' like my old clouper mini did. If that had been my only mod,I'd have started smoking again.
Currently I have 4. One is a basic istick 30/nautilus mini that is relatively ok if it gets lost or damaged so is my out and about one. The others are all sub ohm set ups. Also gives me a choice of flavours to reduce the likelihood of vaper's tongue.

A work mod, a backup work mod.
A home mod, a backup home mod.
A going out mod, a backup going out mod.
And a few other mods just because I liked them, wanted them.
All my mods are up and running at all times with different flavours running on each.
If I had more money, I'd have a lot more.

Up to 17 now. I have 16 all setup, fully charged and sporting a different tank and most importantly, a different flavour (although I do currently have the same flavour in my TFV12 as is in my new Reload RTA clone) Funny thing is, the experience is totally different and you would never guess it was the same juice from the same bottle.
Now you might ask why 16 different mods and tanks ? That's mental. (It really probably is)
Well firstly it stems from a particularly bad case of vaper's tongue that I experienced back about 9 months ago. After that I decided variety was going to be key. A variation of flavours, readily available was going to guarantee that I would never lose the taste of a flavour by overuse. (This definitely works !)
I DIY my flavours mostly so new mixes are coming and going on a weekly basis. Some are keepers and some fall by the wayside but the list of keepers (mixes that I can't be without) just keep growing. Add to that, the odd premium juice that comes along and needs a temporary home and you can see how the number of active mods and tanks has kept growing.
Sometimes the justification for a new mod is "I have this beautiful tank with nowhere for it to go"
Sometimes the justification for a new tank is "I have this great new mod and no tank to go on it"
Sometimes the justification for a new tank and mod is "I have this awesome new mix and I love all my other mixes and so need new setup to put it on"
Since I sat here and wrote this I have tooted on six different flavours.
The logistics of keeping this many tanks and mods charged, coiled, wicked and topped up are quite significant but easy once you get a routine going and with this much stuff on the go, If I stopped doing anything today, I could still vape for a few weeks before the last mod ran out of battery or juice.
Another advantage is wear and tear and battery life. Everything will last for ages as they all only get used a little bit each day.
Downside. My desk looks ridiculous
