    Question,why would people prefer RTA over sub ohm

    Silly question. You can sub ohm with a RTA just as easily as with a RDA. I normally use a 1.4 ohm coil in a RDA!! (not sub ohm) Also I normally vape a 50/50 mix, but can use any PG/VG mix that I want in either a RDA or a RTA. There is no difference

    Recommend Me A MTL Mech Mod?

    The Caravela came out in 2012. Made in Portugal. The HCigar Caravela (clone, made in China) came out in 2014, when the Caravela (made in Portugal) production ended with #999. Now the HCigar production of the Caravela has ended, and this is a close out sale. I've said it before, and I have no...

    Advice needed for small cloud MTL.

    Ya just need to step back in time a little. 9-10 years ago, what you're asking for was all there was. ;)

    Best MTL Kit

    The answers use to be so simple. ;) A SR cartomizer (in a tank) on a Provari would fit the bill to a T.

    USA Today: Scientists want probe of UCSF tobacco research (Glantz)

    Federal grants to Prof. Glamtz skyrocketed in 2013 (and have never come down) Now I hate to say it, but why are other researchers clambering about it now?? They see the retraction of the heart study. Could it be that they want their share of that money?!? I always question motives. Yes I agree...

    First Mechanical Mod

    That Provari won't allow that. @ the 6v setting, it will stop firing that coil when the amps exceed 2.5. (need to turn the voltage down) Need to remember, that device was built around using standard resistance atties/cartomizers (3 ohm) (that's all there was when it was designed in late 2009)...

    Way I look at it: Just because a battery can put out 20-30 amps ..... doesn't mean it has to.

    First Mechanical Mod

    Missed my point, my friend. What I said was that the 8.5 amp draw poses little to NO risk. This is assuming that the 20 amp cell has been through enough charge cycles that it now only has a 10 amp CDR. (time to toss it in the bin) New batteries are not the problem with mechanicals, it's the...

    and I vape all my mechanicals with 1.6 ohm coils (2.625 amp) SAFELY ;) and, even that, is 0.125 amp more than an early Provari's amp limit.

    Been using mechanical mods for over 9 years now, and have never had any sort of problem. (might be a reason for that) SO..... I DO know what I'm talking about!

    8.4 amps is a perfectly safe place to use a mechanical mod with a year old battery, Anything much above that is not. Be safe with mechanical mods, or don't use them at all.

    First Mechanical Mod

    Anything below 0.5 ohms will NEVER be safe on a mechanical mod! But, they do make plenty of regulated mods specifically for that purpose. Personally, I never go below 1.0 ohms with a mechanical. Just because a battery has a 30 amp CDR when new doesn't mean that it will have that capacity later...

    First Mechanical Mod

    There are 4 mech mods sitting on my desk right now. (3 Caravelas' & a Mako Midi) And they seem to work just fine at 2.0 ohms instead of 0.2 ohms. If you want to do ultra sub ohm, use a mod that was designed to do it safely !!! (and that is NOT a mechanical mod)
