What makes this not a hybrid top cap?
yes I know, requires cleaning, it always requires cleaning.

That's a pinless 510 (not a hybrid) a hybrid is essentially the same however the atty is attached the top cap and screws directly into the mod.Not heard that before.

Thankyouverymuch! For my own part I knew I'd arrived with my first mech 3 years ago, and never strayed down the regulated path. Yes, your build is your control, and that's golden for me too
Not for this woman. What's complicated about pushing one button for one function, instead of menus and sequences of menus and settings and all that business? No chips in it, and your build is your control. I see nothing complicated in it at all.

A lot of people call them "Faux Hybrids", personally I could care less. I don't get too hung up on labels.
All I use are mech's and I am interested in trying a regulated just to see what it's like but I just can't bring myself to spend the cash on something that may poop out on me in 6-12 months. Can't can't can't. I don't use tube mech's either, like Haunted says they look to much like a ladies toy so I use boxes, which is kinda of funny considering. 
The genius of simplicity, as well as a great vape, what more could one want
A drop in kick module to keep the voltage output constant
Other than the Provaris I bought, early on in my vaping, which I no longer use, I've never left the world of mech mods. I have no plans to use another regulated device. I get exactly the vape I want with my REOs. Plus, there's not a single part on. REO that can't be repaired or replaced, making them super-reliable.
We could pose this question globally and get ~7 billion different answers.

As I said before, the fact that there are 510 threads at all precludes it from being a true hybrid. A hybrid mech has a dedicated atty that screws directly to the tube of the mod. Two examples are the Rig and the Neptune. Some atties are built specifically to convert an existing tube mech to a hybrid, like the 3-D atty for the Nemesis.
I don't think there is anything inherently wrong or dangerous with a pinless topcap / direct to battery mod, the user just has to be aware of what atomizers are a no-go and why.
I know a guy who did that exact thing it's not funny but I couldn't help myself
However I had lots of rba heads and I made him a little coil wicked etc and now he's a pro
I agree but some people get REALLY upset when you refer to a pinless 510 as a hybrid, I assume because they spent a lot of money on them and don't want to be grouped with guys like me with a 20$ smpl clone and a 35$ noisy cricket.
Mechs looks nice, simple to use
Regulated is just as simple, pick up and fire, change battery when low
I like both, but leaning towards regulated more, the vape is consistent from first to last pull, protection from shorts, and tc capable

that's not likely.
my 3d rda (clone) for example costed me about $7 and I've seen it on sale for less than $4.
there isn't anything inherently pricey about a truehybrid atty.
I don't think price has to do with it. Guys with true hybrids don't want confused people thinking they are one step closer to holding a pipe bomb than they are. A true hybrid is a very safe unregulated device, as long as you follow battery safety catastrophic failure can't happen.
The same only holds true with a pinless 510 installed properly on an RDA with a protruding positive or a tank with both a protruding positive as well as enough support on the positive pin to ensure it won't recede or transmit mechanical force to a coil head leg, crushing it and causing a short in the tank.
He was saying for "complicated people," I took that to mean the complication rests on the user, i.e. I need to take time to gather information about building coils safely and effectively , battery safety, etc. The complexity rests on me rather than within a chip inside a mod.
I call the Apollo a hybrid for no other reason than this is what manufacturers call them.
And could seriously care less if anyone calls the mod I use a hybrid or a turd, a turd can still vape with the proper variables included ;P
That 'definition' seems to have been spawned by manufacturers looking for a new catch phrase to market their wares, no more no less.
Spent a good ~20 minutes searching for the actual definition of a hybrid, with completely mixed results, with a few definitions such as a separate switch between the atty and batty.

Hybrid mods are a whole package (top and bottom) while mech mods like the SMPL are "hybrid Top Cap" mods.
Correct me if I'm wrong...a small change in phrasing between the two
Oh, well okay, I guess you have that right. From where I am now building a genny is like tying my shoes, and I forget the time and effort that went into learning it, but the mech itself is just about as simple as it can get.
