Haha! Believe me, I'm not a novice & I absolutely understand what I'm talking about. The terminology has been changed recently to hybrids for direct battery contact. There's not a huge majority of vapors using true hybrids, but there's a huge amount using "today's" hybrids. Have a good day.
No, the uninformed have mistakenly used the incorrect terminology because they are lazy.
"Hybrid look" became "hybrid"
It's wrong.
There is a HUGE difference.
Hybrids are probably the safest of
Mechs.
They have dedicated atomizers so you can't put the "wrong" atty on it.
Hybrid LOOK mechs are probably the most dangerous of all in the hands of a novice.... But everyone wants the look.
Hybrids aren't hugely popular because they aren't for novice vapers.
You can't cheat and slap an Atlantis on top.
Again, know your gear.
