Am I understanding this correctly?

[chiliphil1]

I am a newbie but am very anxious to learn as much as I can about gaping and a newly found desire to get into higher end items and rba's.

I took the advice of many on this forum and have done lots of research and have learned more than I thought I wanted to know. However there is one thing that is still getting me, I have been looking at mods and have found mechanical and regulated. Now I understand the difference between the 2 but I want to make sure I am looking at this correctly.

If a mod has a display screen and has adjustable voltage/wattage it is a regulated mod, correct? My understanding is that the mechanical mods do not have the screen and do not allow adjustment of the output.. I may be WAY wrong which is why I am asking you guys and girls.

I am looking at this Semovar Vaperev Shop - Semovar Mod - SvoëMesto - Variable Voltage/Wattage - Devices is this a regulated mod? I am asking because I don't think that I want to go the route of the mechanical mods. I would be looking to put this Kayfun on it Vaperev Shop - Kayfun Lite Would that work well?

Oh, one other question, these mods take 18650 batteries, if one got a quality brand of battery such as panasonic, or sony could you use a charger to keep one on charge to swap out when the one in it dies or do you have to use a fresh battery each time? Any links to or recommendations for ones to use?

I do have another post up asking a similar question but that post relates to a non rebuildable on a box mod, this one is different because I am talking about an RBA with a high end mod.

Sorry for posting so much, I am just excited about all this stuff and anxious to learn all I can.

Thank you for any replies.

Sounds like you have a good grip on things.

The Semovar + Kayfun would be superb combo.

Correct on the batteries also. I would order both batteries and charger from a place like Orbtronic.

Thank you very much!

Protected or high drain I guess would be the next question.

High drain IMR. They use safer chemistry, so when things go wrong, you're more likely to end up with a hot battery, and not an exploded one.

Protected batteries in theory would prevent anything from ever going wrong, but use a more volatile chemistry - should the protective circuit allow the unwanted, the battery is more likely to vent forcefully, rather than just get hot.

High drain IMR.....

There ya go. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

SvoeMesto recommends IMR batteries... AW brand in particular. Vaperev carries them.

An eco-c for example doesn't have a screen and does not allow adjustment of W/V but it's still regulated.
A regulated mod has a regulation circuit board, a mech is basically a tube with a button and no electronics.
