it would help what about it makes it wrong for a new user rather than just saying no lol fish for me and i eat for a day, teach me to fish and i feed myself for a life time.

yeah I had seen rabbit already put a link to explain

but I seriously do have that question.

why are so many people actively choosing the cherry bomber?

Seems to me this new user is doing what a young man I know did, and what young men just getting into vaping too often do. This is to push the envelope before they have any idea what they are doing. A young man at work who just started vaping hit me up about my vapes, and wanted to get into mechs and drippers. I had a dripper I'd tried and rejected in favor of my gennies, so I gave it to him. Right away he coiled it for .2 ohm and put it on a box mod with shoddy batteries in it.

He's just following the sub-cultural trend. Now it's all about box mods and drippers and blowing a bigger cloud than the next guy, putting something large out front bigger than the next guy's thing, and hey, what does that remind us of?

What could go wrong?

I think we all know.

The CB works well. It is a hard hitting mech. The way it is designed, however, makes it possible to short from the outside if you intentionally try to or have gross negligence for the mod.

These mods are made of metal... many highly conductive options are solid copper. This will scratch and get marred up if you throw it around in your bag or even just put it in your pocket along with your keys.

Most of the people weary about the CB have never actually used one. But, regardless, it is a mech mod.

With any of these mechanicals, the most important things you can learn are to be using the right batteries, inserted in the correct direction (all of the mods mentioned are parallel configurations), and you understand ohms law and are measuring your resistances. Have respect for the tool for what it is and how it works and it will perform excellently every time. When you get it you should look at the circuit. It is very simple. Take the mod apart. Put it back together. Understand how current is going to flow. Calculate how many amps are going to be drawn from the batteries with the build that you want to employ.

All of this stuff is very, very simple. Just there are some new users who are quick to disregard these important measures and it results in something like a battery venting or, in an extreme case with the wrong batteries, a mod exploding.

My man, It would be better to do a little bit of reading before you jump in. You'll be able to understand devices better and it will help you in choosing what you want.
I suggest starting with a single 18650 mechanical that does not have a hybrid style connection, meaning you're battery goes through a dedicated connection before touching the atomizer. If you go into dual battery boxes you run the risk of shorting your battery it if you put the batteries in reverse, anyone can make this mistake if you're not paying complete attention as your putting batteries in.

This was my first mech, and also has the ability to do hybrid connection if you wish. SXK is also Infinite, a well known company.

Also check out this blog I wrote if you have the time. It goes through all the basic workings of devices. It's a long read but it will answer some questions.
