Mech Mods

[Greeny]

Mechanical Mods? Bah! Lets cut to the chase and forget the mythical crap. 1. laser etching will NOT make them perform better. 2. batteries being batteries, the MOST power a mech is going to give you is 4.2 volts (when fresh off charger) and an average 3.7 volts (the nominal battery power). 3. Battery power will DECREASE, gradually,every time you fire the button. 4. If you use standard ohm coils and atties, the MAXIMUM wattage you will vape with your mech, based on the batteries nominal voltage of 3.7 volts, is 7.6 watts, with 1.8 ohm coils, 6.8 watts with 2 ohm coils and 5.4 watts, with a 2.5 ohm coil. ( "but I can vape at 12 watts with my Vamo" = EXACTLY!! )
So, if you expect to suddenly be in cloud heaven by sticking your bog standard atties/tanks on to a super duper mechanical mod, you are going to be severely disappointed.
However, durability, reliability, and the function to allow you to venture into the cloudy world of the sub ohmer (once you've done your homework!!) do make mechanical mods a worthwhile addition to any vapers collection, just remember that mechs are what they are, a tube with a battery in it, nothing more.

Thanks for the response. Like i said, i have no idea about mech mods so all respsonses are appreciated whether positive or negative. I'm still relatively new to vaping after nearly 30 years on the stinkies so i'm eager to learn about all aspects of vaping so i can acheive the ultimate vape. I also have a vamo and can't fault it so i'm not going to ebay it and change completely to mechs its just something else in my armoury to keep me a happy vaper.

This mirrors my thoughts exactly. I use my MVPv2 & mini protanks for when I'm out and about at work. Then I swap between my SVD with protanks and my Nemesis clone with Kayfun Lites at night. It depends what I've got in the tanks as to which I use. If I need that extra kick I will just up the watts on the SVD. I think this gives me the best of both worlds

Thats exactly what i'm looking for, i will be keeping my vv/vw's for simpliicity when going to work or on a night out and then the mech for relaxing at home when i have time to experiment

I have to say that since I received my first mech mod the only thing my VV/VW mods get used for is checking coil resistance. A simple dripper or RBA coiled to 1.3 ohms or less blows just about every ckearo/variable device out of the water when it comes to flavour and vapour production.

Use them at home on a day off in 18650 mode or in 18350 mode when I'm out and about

Went with the SS as matches nicely with kayfun lite plus that was in the other parcel

Good work. My dual coil kraken at 0.7 fills a room with a single toke!. ;-)

you control the power by making your own coil but if you want vw you can get a drop in device called a kick
