I see all the hype over mechanical mods. I see many people getting them and I wonder if some of them actually realize what they're getting. A non regulated device that runs off the batts voltage. As the batt discharges, the voltage goes down. Plus there's going to be a voltage drop just as soon as they put something on it and fire it.
with that being said, I have 2 mechs. I do use and enjoy them. BUT I only use a genesis atty at subohm resistance. Adding a kick would make the mech a vw device and give me continuous voltage but changing the wattage requires taking it out of the device and using a screw driver to adjust it. Plus the kick only goes up to 10 watts and I now vape higher than that. So a kick would do me no good.
If I ever decide to quit using mesh based genesis rbas than my mechs would really not be of any use to me. For me, a mech is only good with a .8ohm coil. For me, a .8ohm coil is only good with SS mesh. I'm finding myself moving away from mesh in a genesis. Silica is much more forgiving, much easier to build and I can build my coils higher and use them on my Provari's. As it's been said before, a genesis rba, with mesh at subohms really needs a mech to shine. I've found that to be true. BUT.. I have also found I can use silica in my genesis rba.. build my coil with higher resistance and it performs just as well on a provari than if I used mesh, built it at .8 and put it on a mech.
So anyone who cares to read this.. if you are thinking about getting a mechanical device.. first consider what you are going to use on it. I have a igo-l with a 2ohm coil. I can't use it on a mech because the vape is good with a fresh batt. Once the batts starts discharging and dropping voltage, I can feel it and the vape gets rather anemic. If you are planning on use it with a genesis with a subohm mesh coil... go for it!
