Mech mods... What's that all about..??

[jock1092]

I love my mechs, my unregulated boxes and my pwm mods
But they all rely on my coiling
And I build the last two myself, so that's added, even planing making a proper box mech soon
For me, I've only used 3 regulated mods and been happy with them, two wine I started Vaping and a lipo dna made recently

If I want to build for my mechs/unregulated mods I know the exact coils I want, and what rda's because I only use an rda I can transfer across all my mechs (including the hybrids), so it's fast and I know what I will get
I know the ohms range I want, and what power I will get

When I build for a regulated mod I plan it out more and use far more intricate designs

In the maintenance side, most regulated mods can die with a single mistake, or even normal use and be fit for the bin
While I've got a mech that had a battery vent and just needed a through cleaning

But that brings the major downside to mechs into view - they are a potential danger and require some upkeep while at the same time being so simple they are fixable even after extreme events

Example for me
If I dropped my smok r200 mod down the toilet in the morning it would likely not survive
If I dropped my smpl off my bike at speed into a puddle and took a few minutes to find it though I'd ditch the battery and clean the mod, worst case a quick sanding and it's brand new

Mechs are not for everyone, which is probably a good thing with the risks they have, but for those who like them they have upsides that regulated mods might never reach

Don't know much about mechs , don't think I could trust myself with one. But would it differ much from putting a regulated mod in bypass mode ? Technically your running of the battery but with added protection

Technically no, good safe place to start building your own coils to suit your vaping style.

As little as 4 years ago, regulated mods went up to a max of 40 watts, so if you were using a dripper and wanted crazy wattages the only way was with a mech and it's become traditional for real enthusiasts to use mechs.

It's a bit like owning a classic car or a Harley Davidson.

Ahhhhh, the beauty and simplicity of a mech and dripper. It's probably about the most rawest way of vaping.
The only downsides are its not overly practical or idiot proof

Raw is a great way of describing vaping on a mech. I don't know if it's all in my head but I get a purer vape using my mechs it feels raw and unrefined. I also quite enjoy the battery sag and the different flavours from the hard hitting fresh battery vape down to the longer draw when the battery is sagging. As others have mentioned the form factor cannot be beaten on a mech either.
