i have a list of mech mods i like i still dont own one i think its due time to add one to my arsenal
thinking of going with this in the dual 26650 version, what words of warnings can you ladies and gents give me before i jump into this please?

A mech mod does go off the voltage of the cell, watts factor the voltage with the ohms of the coil. Subohming started out as a way for those of us using mechs to get a similar vape to those using vv/vw devices.
A mech is basically the housing or container for the battery.
I use kicks with my mechs, so if I set my kick for 15 watts, that's what it will unload on the tank.
I'd like a regulated mod built with modularity.
It's the as with tanks where it's better to have a rebuildable than a disposable.
With mods, it's better to have a modular system where you can just swap something out easily without having to unsolder, or deal with glue or pressfit, or risk breaking your device
A mech just puts the current straight to the coil you wound on the wick you rolled. No electronics in between, no menus, no settings, no BS. Push the button and it happens right now. This requires a certain level of confidence in what you are doing with your build and your knowledge of battery safety. You can use a kick with it, but then it's not a mech anymore, and you should have just bought a regulated mod in the first place.
You can only regard mechs as Russian roulette if you don't do your homework and don't have confidence in your abilities with them. Learn what you are doing and you will be okay.

A mech mod is a fancy battery holder with a momentary on switch. I have/use both regulated (w/optional temp control), and mechanicals and actually enjoy both about the same but I only use RBAs, it makes a difference. If I didn't use RBAs and was stuck using factory coil heads I'd prefer regulated for the additional control they provide.
A mech is infinite wattage. It is up to you to build your RDA to draw a safe amount of power, as determined by the battery configuration. But the volts are what the battery level is. And the resistance is what the RDA coils are built at. And so, by controlling your build resistance, you alter the current as per ohms law: Ohms Law Calculator
It is nothing like Russian Roulette. You know EXACTLY what the resistance is because you measure it on your resistance meter. Mechs are reliable, elegant, durable, and allow huge amounts of power. The perfect mod.
ETA:
power = watts
volts x amps = watts (power)
It doesn't matter which variable you change. It is the total power that makes the coils heat up.

Mechanical devices can be an easy way to get a wide variety of power depending on the resistance you have on top. They require regular cleaning maintenance to ensure the device works properly, contacts cannot be dirty or you may have an issue. Since you have no short protection you need to make sure the contact points on the atomizer and positive/negative for the battery are stable and not touching unwanted metal.
Since you have no electronics, your wattage will decrease over time since your battery voltage drops. Most mechanical users have a few batteries charged to swap when they feel it getting too low.
Batteries are the most important investment since you need to have good batteries for your own safety. You should check out some blogs or threads talking about safety and mechanical usage.

Mechs are all I use. I've never owned a regulated mod, nor do I want or need one. My control is in how I do my build. If I want .8 ohm in my Krakens I know just how to get it with 26 kanthal on 400 mesh. I have an ohms meter to make sure of my resistance target too. With mechs it's just a different approach. Instead of using menus, chips and wires you just know how to build your atty right.
A dual 26650 mech would be a very poor choice for a beginner. I suggest you do a LOT more reading on their use before you buy one.
here is an analogy to consider...
you own a gun, you either buy the ammo from a factory or you reload the ammo yourself...
if you reload the ammo yourself you need to know quite a bit of info on the primers, cases, powder and bullet weight and diameter... ( actually there is even more to know)... put in 3 grains of powder more than you are supposed to and the round becomes something that can destroy the gun and harm yourself.... know your equipment, know its limits...

Ummm.... yeah, I have to seriously agree with that! Do your homework before getting into mechs, and especially one with that kind of power. That's like buying a Corvette ZR-1 before you know how to drive. What do you need that kind of power for? I think you would be much better advised to just get an inexpensive clone mech, good batteries, and whatever RBA you favor and learn building and battery safety first.
why wouldnt a dual 18650 be a bad choice? still uses 2 batteries ...
18650 is a much more common vaping battery and fits the form factor of the majority of mods. OP should avoid the 26650 only because few mods actually use it, its awkward, and a dual 18650 configuration will work just fine.
As for the OP: You can use any mech perfectly safely. For a mech or unregulated box, just make sure you know how the box works and how the current flows. Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly. Make sure you have measured your atomizer build on a meter. Thats it. Mech Safety 101. Enjoy your nice mods!

thanx for the info ladies and gents and i fully agree the dual 26650 would be the wrong choice for me in this point in time, i will get a cheaper and easier to work with unit maybe a clone of some sorts from my shop here in australia and go from there..
