Regulations won't stop mechanicals because people will still make them and just start selling them on Craigslist and through Facebook groups.

Regulation will not stop regulated mods either, the OKR-T chips and the Raptor chips are not made for vaping they are just power regulation chips for the electronics industry.
I don't mind people wanting to engage in high-risk activities but how about they lose any social benefits if it goes horribly wrong. Like, if you break your arm skateboarding or blow off your fingers cloud chasing with a mechanical mod, you don't get any medical attention unless you are paying cash, from the EMS response to the emergency room to the operating room? Don't cause the taxpayer or your fellow health insurance policy holder to pick up the tab for your shortage of brain cells? Inevitably, their actions effect more people. These days you can cloud chase safely with as much power as a mechanical using a high wattage regulated mod. If people can't be safe with mechanicals then there's a reasonable argument to be made for why mechanicals should even be available.
There are a lot of arguments there, but I was not looking for an argument. I think mechanicals should be available for the same reason I think people should be able to own guns. Last time I checked the claim was that we live in a "free" country, what ever that means these days. Whatever the activity is, baking cookies, making hot dogs, growing tomatoes, driving a car, or "blowing clouds" Someone is going to come along and want to do it bigger, faster, longer, larger than the person before them. There is a world book of records for some of this silly stuff.
At the end of the day high risk activities are a negligible impact on health care and tax dollars, politicians and rich people hurt the bottom line the most. That brings us to the next thing, people blowing clouds, or part of their faces off are not going to be the death knell for "free vaping" Those same politicians and rich people who are losing their precious tax dollars and sales revenue are going to be the ones that sign the warrant, and it won't be for fringe incidents. It will be some made up something that serves as an excuse to protect the bottom line.
