Before buying a mechmod questions

[Jay89]

Hi all, so, I've been loving the look of mech mods and have really wanted one, the thing that has stopped me from getting one is the fact that they don't have the safety features of your normal mod and my knowledge of the ohms law is practically non existent, so I guess my questions are:

What is the ohms law? Does anyone have a link so I can learn it?

Is there anything else I should know before buying one?

I understand that they are very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing and I don't plan on buying one till I understand everything fully, so I thought here would be the perfect place to start and get information from the people that know what they are doing

Thanks in advance

I have a few, but currently switching between Smok G-Priv with a TFV8 with RBA and the Smok Alien with a Glacier V3 RDA

So you are rebuilding, right?

I have done, but I've actually been buying premade claptons as in the pic because I always get issues with uneven firing, I've got all the tools for doing it though so I am ready to go

I recommend: Steam Engine main page

building takes practice and there is nothing wrong with buying coils... i've never bought any but i was given some really sweet ones, so i can understand why you would do that.

@Baditude this guy needs all your goodies and pics lmao.

May be get more experience rebuilding. Watch some battery venting videos. Read up on batteries in the forum. There is a video where the resident battery guru mooch is interviewed about battery safety
Tha might be worth watching.

While on the subject... Can a mech mod be reliable with dual 18650's in a series... ive never really looked into them because i just dont have any desire to do so... just was curious all of a sudden reading this thread.. Even if they are i will likely never own one, just curiosity if anyone has had issues with battery leveling across cells in series in a mech mod

This. Dude is a great resource. I learned a ton from his blog.

Mechs are stupid simple but a few hours of learning really is is required as you can seriously hurt yourself.

I have about 30 mechs and have only been vaping for just over a year. Great vape and lots of fun once you know what you are doing.

BTW, I am using a G-Priv and an Alien a lot lately. Great mods.

What you don't want to do is create a situation where the battery goes into thermal runaway. That's what's getting people hurt. There are user mistakes that can cause that. You might want a comprehensive understanding of all the possibilities and confidence that once you understand them you are disciplined enough not to make careless mistakes.

Buy a DMM, they all give good tutorials on ohms law in the owners manuals.
Do download Steam engine as suggested above.
Look into safety fuses.

Read Baditude's blog. If there are more questions after, feel free to ask.

Baditudes blog sums things up well. Although there is quite a lot of info in the subject, the principles are actually incredibly simple. It's all worth it though, mechs are what "made" vaping for me.
