1st Mechanical mod .... questions...

[Arioch]

Ok so I've been looking at pulling the trigger on a mech mod. There are so many nice shiny toys to look at

I have a few ego's and a Vision Spinner with a Pro tank, evod and the vivi Nova right now and they do the job to keep away the analogs.

I want to keep costs down so a clone is not a problem.

Ok heres my questions and concerns ***starts rambling***

I would like to know the most common battery size so if the mod collection does grow I will have the most options of using the same size for the next one and also not having to have another charger. (or does this limit me too much)

What all will I need to Vape one of these. (batteries, charger, the tube mod itself) Anything I'm missing?

Will the pro tank work with most of these mech mods?

what about something like a USF v3 or do I need some other type of tank?

Any links spelling this all out for noobs


OK, thanks for any and all input you could give!

Fast techs K100 is a great mod that will take almost any topper. It's really hard to beat for the price. It takes 18650 batteries or the shorter ones but 18650's are pretty much what you will be looking for. If you are planning to do sub-ohm or close to it you will want batteries that can handle higher amps and be safe. That will mean IMR batteries AW makes great ones.

If you know you are going to be jumping into building your own coils you could always consider a hybrid like this. This has a built in rebuildable dripping atomizer.

18650 batteries are the most common and popular size. I highly recommend AW IMR or Panasonic hybrids. List of recommended batteries in first link below:

Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected?

Using sub-ohms with an RBA/RDA requires special batteries that have amps > 10 amps.

Using a Kick will require stepping down a step in battery size, from an 18650 to an 18490.

FWIW, I went into mechs always planning to use a kick, and not all mechs will fit an 18650 with a kick, so I got 18490s.

Look for 18650 and 18500/18490s good luck and enjoy
