Silly question for those who'd like to see mechs taken off the shelves. The scissors in your house, pointy or rounded safety scissors? If they're pointy, shut up.
If?
Does anyone Really Believe that Mech mods will be allowed to be sold once the FDA Regulates the e-Cigarette Market?
... when it starts with "I saw this on YouTube" ...

That's one reason I've got a nice little bunch that don't get used. They will be near mint when they need to be.
...
So you think the FDA will ban flashlights?
'Cuz that's all a mechanical mod is.
Good luck with that.
Nope. Don't see any Flashlight Bans on the Horizon.
But I think Mech Mods are going to be Very Difficult to sell in a Regulated Market.
Possibly.
But rest assured mechanicals aren't going anywhere.
The genie isn't going back in the bottle. Those days are gone.
I think people are about done giving up freedoms to protect the dumb.
The REO is a mech mod. The TMod is a mech mod. Sunbox makes some mech mods. The bottom feeder community is chock full of mech mods and very limited on decent regulated mods. I've had all of them and never so much as a warm battery. I actually destroy things for a living...it just comes naturally. Call it a gift. I have a laymans understanding of how things work. I didn't attend any electrical engineering classes to run any of my mods. If these things are that far over someones head, well then, mods aren't the problem. All the information needed to run any of our devices is extremely easily obtained. If you're too lazy to find out how to safely operate an electrial device that you put in your mouth, why is it me who has to pay the price? These threads are more entertaining than the old ProVari threads. It's how I figure out who I could sit in a bar and watch a game with.
I'd definitely sit in a bar and watch a musician with Zoid. Dude has great taste in guitarists!

A MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor/Field Effect Transistor) is an electronics part that is like any other transistor. It has a current path (source and drain) where the current it is switching or amplifying goes through the part, and a third contact (gate) which "turns on" the current path. (It is quite similar in function to a mechanical relay when used as a switch, except it's electronic). They can be used as an amplifier because they will tolerate much more current between the source and drain that it takes to tickle the gate, and they don't have to turn on "all the way,"--the resistance in the source-drain path varies with gate voltage-- but this is meaningless for vape mods. In mods, they are electronic switches and nothing more. You apply voltage to the gate and the switch turns on (or off, there are two kinds and they work backwards to each other) allowing the battery to fire the atty. Take voltage off the gate and the switch turns off (or on, as above). Their real purpose in vape mods is make it possible to switch high currents. It isn't easy to buy a pushbutton switch rated better than 10 amps that will fit in a mod. Higher rated buttons are big. Thus you can use a tiny pushbutton to switch the gate current, which is usually milliamps or even microamps, and let the MOSFET switch the power load. If you are building a really powerful box mod-- 4 batteries and I saw an idiot with 6 once-- you can use the same pushbutton to switch on more than one MOSFET and divide the load between to stay within their capacity.
count me in for beers at the bar with Zoid ... just let me grab my ProVari first
I prefer to use mine; that way I'm intimately familiar with what maintenance they require and what spare parts I might need to stock.That's one reason I've got a nice little bunch that don't get used. They will be near mint when they need to be.
Except you can't vape in a bar in Commiefornia, where Zoid lives, right?Something tells me that bar would be filled with Provaris, Reo's, and delicious clouds.
Coffee table legs somehow slipped through the radar. My big toe is KILLING me!This was what I was thinking last night, at what point to we stop trying to protect adults like they're babies? People are killed in droves while driving, are automobiles so inherently dangerous we should ban them?
Extreme sports (sky diving, rock climbing, scuba diving) are all dangerous unless you're very well trained and even then it's only risk minimization because even professionals get hurt or killed. Ban them?
At what point as a society do we say enough is enough, life is dangerous and we can't possibly baby proof it to the point that everyone is always safe with no chance of injury.
