And I cannot BELIEVE the difference in flavor/vapor production!
I could never go back to my ego-types now!

I love mechanical's they are simple, small and easy to use and they just work. I just ordered a new one for myself.
Not long into vaping I was at a local B&M and there in the display case was a beautiful mech, and it beckoned to me, calling my name, saying "I know you want me, I'll take you to vaping Nirvana, buy me, BUY MEEEEEE!!!
I had no idea about mechs, but it was so beautifully machined and designed, and I had to have it. I could not afford it, but I bought it anyway. I had been looking for something better than the eGo stuff I'd been using, and when I put my Protank on it Hallelujah! It was vaping heaven compared to what I'd been doing, but... I didn't know at the time that when you venture into mechs you are headed into RBA territory, and there's really no avoiding that.
I burnt through Protank coils so fast it was a joke, and it brought home to me that it was RBA time. So I got an RBA, learned to build it right, got the right batteries and charger, learned to make mesh wicks, coil them right for the resistance I wanted, make sure of my ohms, and never looked back. I'm a happy camper now

The purest form of vaping. Gets you experienced at doing good builds, and rewards you immensely. Welcome!

At what ohms/power?
It's a slippery, shiny mechanical slope you're on, my friend ;p
While I proudly claim membership in the Provarinati, I love my mechs - they're so dang pretty I keep getting more just for the accessorizing opportunities!

I got the same way when I got my Sentinel M16. I immediately stopped using my MVP 2 and gave it to my gf. Looking into ordering a 26650 mod sometime after I move(security deposits...ugh). Wanna pull on a 60A battery for some recreational vaping 
Current RBA is just under .5, and 1.6 in the Nautilus.
Power is not adjustable without a kick on mechs, so naturally 3.7 or lower.
I have the Brass Monkey RBA, does anyone have a good guide, or link to a video for
coiling/wicking this beast?

This is where I want to be very soon, I've bought some high end e liquid and want to get the best out of them.
I CANNOT recommend the RBA highly enough for flavor!
It's added a 3rd dimension to all of my favorite juices!

So you're using 28 gauge on the RBA , correct?
And is it stock coils on the Nautilus?
For the moment.
I will be winding my own coils to begin with under close supervision
from the veterans at my local B&M.
I feel you man, I saw you commented on my dive into mechs a minute ago, so it's only fair that I welcome you into it! Loving both your setups! I cannot WAIT to start building coils and getting my build on. There's only one thing missing from my setup right now and I just have to find the right one and I'll be set for a bit.
And I thank you sir!
I really like the Nemesis as well, and if there had been one in stock, I would have one of those too!
Naturally would actually be 4.2 or lower as a 3.7V battery actually charges to 4.2V. Once you get down to 3.7, you lose vapor production and I actually change out my batts because I can tell a huge difference. This means at .5 ohms, you're vaping at approx 35.28 watts and pulling 8.4 amps on a full charge
The biggest advantage to your mechanical mod & RBAs is now you have to LEARN, and trust me you will learn a lot.
Once you figure out that the laws of thermal dynamics trump ohms law you will know how to make anything vape better (even your eGo)

Got my first mech this morning! Infinite Black copper Stingray. Just a clone, I know, but I'm not getting the crunchy firing button a lot of people are claiming they got. I have my Kayfun 3.1 on it and loving it almost as much as my Provari's. Love the size, and how it's smaller then my Provari Mini's with an 18350 battery in them, even though I've got an 18490 batt in the Stingray. In 18350 mode, I plan on making it my stealth device.
