As promised have questions
What atty would all all sugesst for the Panzer Mech Mod?
I already have 2 darkhorses and 1 haze for my SMPL which is a little above my skil set to be honest but my son bought it for my Bday and I had no idea about such things so I am carefully slowly learning.
I really do not feel comfy rebuilding so I take the atty's to the vape shop down the road to make sure it is done correctly.
Thank you all!!!
Well... hmmm.... a lot depends on your own personal preferences since there really isn't a "best" type of anything out there... there are still ones that will work for your preferences better than others and we will have no real idea of what you prefer.
Mech mods are really, IMO, made for advanced users that can rebuild their own coils in order that they have the experience they they are looking for. Some prefer high wattage outputs, others lower wattages and how you build the coil ( or coils if using dual, triple, quad coils ) will determine how they preform for you.
Next you'll need to know what constant amperage level that your batteries can sustain so you can vape safely by not asking more than your batteries can put out. Just know that the higher amperage you ask of your batteries, the shorter they will last before needing a recharge.
If you don't plan to rebuild ( and from the sound of it, you don't )... then you still need to find out what wattage you like vaping the e-liquids at. Once you know what that is, then you can calculate what ohms coils you need to achieve that wattage and you can select from the various prebuilt coils to get close to what you prefer.
Next... your Panzer is a 25mm device... so you have to consider what looks good to you aesthetically. So a 25mm atty will likely look the best but a 22mm one may also look alright. The Kanger Subtank and Subtank Plus are two tanks that I know off the top of my head that are 25mm sized tanks. They currently have two prebuilt coils with 0.5Ω and 1.2Ω and also have a RBA deck that you could rebuild if you chose too. The Subtank Mini is a 22mm device and may also look ok since the top of the Panzer is beveled slightly. Of course there are a lot of others, most will be 22mm since that is the most popular size right now.
Vaping with a 0.5Ω coil would start out with just over 35w and go down to just under 26w if you only take the battery down to about 3.6v ... the 1.2Ω coil would start out with just under 15w at 4.2v and go down to just under 11w at 3.6v.
I'm not suggesting you go with the Subtanks, they are just one that I like and I knew the specs of. In short, I needed a place to start with so you'll have an idea of where to start.
So consider the size of the device for aesthetics. Consider what wattage you like to vape at and choose among the atty's that have coils that will get you close to that wattage. Remember that your wattage level will drop on a mech mod as your batteries voltage drops so you'll want to to start a little higher than your perfect preference and understand it will drop below that preference as the voltage drops.
Personally... I prefer the newer high power regulated mods for simplicity. Still a mech mod is reliable and only requires regular cleaning of the contacts and threads to continue working well... but they'll never have any electronics to fail like a regulated mod may possibly experience.
