Regulateds are better than mechs

[NeXtDimensionVaping]

I do not see the point to mechanical mods from a practical point of view. From a hobbyist/enthusiast pov I understand that mechs are aesthetically pleasing and fun to build/modify.

But overall, regulateds in the last couple years have really stepped there game up and some of the new 100w and 150w dual battery regs can blow a mech out of the water.

Regs are computer controlled, have temp/wattage control and give a consistent vape without sacrificing battery life. They are also exponentially more safe.

I love vaping and the culture, but practically I don't ever see myself getting a mech and I think that in the future mechs will be left in the dust.

Cool.

They are both safe as long as you know what you are doing. What I am afraid of happening with regulateds is people will start getting lazy and relying totally on the chip. They need to have some knowledge of the basics and advanced functions.

Even smoking isn't idiot proof.

I vape at 8.5 watts... not sure how a 150 watt device will help me.

What goes around keeps coming back around.... Better than, even better will always be the goal for whatever we do in life....

A couple years ago when Provari was "king of regulateds" People got into mechs and there again, started the whole "better" thing again.... This is still a fairly new "thing" and innovations will continue to evolve.

I remember seeing posts all over the forum regarding the mech craze.... That it was like going backwards, etc.... Its all in what suits you. Whats better for you..

Im sure there will be many posts a few in a minutes agreeing with you, and a few disagreeing.

I myself see a need for both, but if I was forced to make a choice it would be mech for me.... I did not experience anything mind blowing in the 2 regulated devices I have.... but I like them.

So lets see what the consensus comes of this thread Just play nice "kiddies"

Mech mods are 100% safe if you know ohms law and battery safety. I ran mech mods for 6 months before going to a regulated device. Never once did I have a short. Never did I have a battery vent. Never did I have a battery get remotely warm.

Regulated devices are good. Mech mods are good, whether it be in tube form or in the form of a Reo Grand (squonker).

Mech mods have been around and will always be around. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean mech mods are pointless within other vapers.

Plus go to some cloud comps. I personally don't participate I don't care about clouds, but have watched. They don't allow regulated mods or dual 18650 unregulated box mods. They require the tube mech mods.

I've used mechs 3 years no issues.
I love em.
I love my dna too.
But pop a battery in the tube toss on an rda.
And go.
No board to fail.
There's plenty of folks posting here how their regulated device failed.
I'm not saying one or the other is better.
I really like both.

My PV-1 is non regulated and I guarantee safer than any regulated mod from China. I get a great vape from it also. Skill over power...

That's one point that mech modder's see.

I think that in the future mechs will be left in the dust.

I think they won't.

I don't see myself vaping anything other than a mech, I've tried regulated devices and keep coming back to Reo's. So I quit buying anything but them and am a happy vaper.

 

[puffon]

I like my regulated, but I know they will fail some day.
If vapeapopalypse happens, I know I can keep my REOs functioning for the rest of my life. (about 15-20 yrs).........

Nuclear EMP will render all chipped mods non functional

I don't see the point of green peppers or olives.
I didn't see the point of beets either, until my wife roasted some one night.

But then my poop came out with red liquid in the bowl.
I didn't see the point of that either.

In fact, it actually had me scared a couple of days.
But I'm getting a bit off topic now.

I've tried regulated devices. For me they offer no advantages over a mech mod. Mechs are simple, straight forward, more durable and have no circuitry to get ruined.

Chips fail.
Boards fail.
They all will eventually fail. All electronics do.

Mechs don't.
Nothing to fail.
Mechs are never going away.
They are 100% safe if you actually know what you are doing.

Neither are RBAs. No matter how good the prebuilt coil is.
Some people do not want to live with the tether of buying coils.

Unfortunately, most regulated mods still suffer the 510 centerpin problem, while on mech tube mods, adjustable centerpin is the norm.

Just as with tanks there are clearos and rebuildables,
so with mods, I prefer a rebuildable (modular) setup.
So far the closest thing to that is a mech with a kick.
If I want to have a screen too, unfortunately i'd have to mod my own box

My vape is better than yours.
My dog is bigger than yours.
Then we get a ruler and..........
Nuff said

I didn't see the point of a little blue screwdriver review. I learned here and was better off for knowing.
I didn't see the point of keeping 300 ton of wool for a mod, but @e-pipeman (and others) shined a light here.

As with everything in life, anything worth doing well just takes time, an open mind & a willingness to learn.

Guess your wife forgot to tell you the point of this.

What you could have learned was how long it took for your digestive tract to clear. That would have been a good thing to know. Guess you'll have to try again. Please report back. Inquiring minds wish to learn/know.

I don't want to know. ..
I am going to buy beets on the way home though.
