goin from regulated to mech mod any thoughts

[anthropus1]

Just got an rsst and thought i might get better proformance with a full mech mod. I understand the saftey issues but i can check resistance and all
the fun math but since an evic (thats my current reg mod) can go to high wattage is it.better to go mech?
What is a good place to start in the world of mechanical mods

Mechs perform better than regulated devices when you have a coil setup that is either too low for the regulated device to fire or would draw too much current. Generally, a nice regulated device will out perform a mech with coils higher than 1.3 ohms.

As long as you stay safe, building sub-ohm coils and running a mechanical mod is totally worth it. Just always check the resistance as soon as you're done building the coil and make sure you're not going to short anywhere.

Right now I'm running a .6 ohm microcoil w/ cotton wick in a kayfun and it's vaping bliss. If you do the math on a fully charged battery that's about 28 watts.

I started with a nemesis clone and it worked great.

Hey there, mech mods are nice, they are durable and reliable. They will also allow you to vape at below 1.2 ohms which would give you a more intense vape, but not necessarily perform better than a regulated mod. Depends on the materials/connections/etc used. You may want to try something simple and inexpensive like a bolt (a semi-mechanical) and see if you like it. You must decide if you want a side firing or bottom firing mech. Telescoping tube or fixed tube. Stainless steel or brass or aluminum. Etc. The Chi You or Nemesis is a good mech mod.

Ok total newb question but havent tried sub ohm because i thought it would make the liquide taste burnt like it does in a clearomizer turned up to high so what is the result in flavor with subing

If you're using micro-coils at sub ohm it will be a warm full and flavourful taste and produce huge vapor. In my opinion it's totally worth it and it's the only way I vape now.

You will only get a burnt taste if your atty isn't wicking fast enough which is the problem with most clearomizers and why you can't run them at a high wattage like you can with a good RBA or RDA.

Ohms Law states that your EVIC at 5.0v and 1.2Ω coil would produce about 20 watts. A fully charged mech mod at 4.1v and 0.8Ω coil would produce the same 20 watts. So you may need to make coils under 0.8Ω to see a considerable difference in "heat" at the coil. That doesn't mean you won't prefer the more direct current of the mech, or other attributes.

Start with high-discharge hybrid batteries (I prefer the Sony VTC4 2100mah 30A), a good high-amp charger (I prefer the EFest LUC v2/v4), and a low-voltage-drop mech (I prefer a HCigar Nemesis clone with magnet switch mod). The rest is up to your sub-ohm coil building proficiency. The RSST is a good place to start!

Have fun, and be safe!

Alright im glad i asked the right ppl !!
Thanks for the specific recomends it will save me a whole lot of time comparing . I think im going to try
subs as soon as i get a good rutine down for building standard 2ohm
