Ok so I am thinking of buying a Prometheus clone because it looks like something simple enough I can figure out for my first build ever. As of now I have prometheus and a drip tip picked out. I just need to know what is a good mechanical mod for this RBA? What other components should I get to complete this build? How many parts come together? How do I charge it? What kind of battery?
Thanks
sorry for being lost I have only vaped a simple eGo for a year now...ready to step up to "real" vape experience
I use mech mods. They're simple, in that there is no wiring, no screens, etc. Since there's no wiring or electronics, if they break, it's simple to fix them. They're likely to survive all manner of things that could kill a regulated mod--long drops onto concrete, drop into a tub lol. That's what appeals to me about them, along with their looks.
In terms of actual use, they're not that simple. Since there is no wiring to break, everything about them is up to you:
Since there is no wiring, the mod itself can't be adjusted. You determine how they hit by coiling the dripper or the tank the way you like. Since there are no safety controls you must make 100% certain that your tank is in working condition, built within the parameters of the battery you're using.
You must use the right batteries. Again, no wiring, so that mod's going to fire till the battery is dead. It's up to you to know your battery, and figure out when it's getting low--you'll feel this, as you'll notice the vape getting weak after a while. You'll need a digital multimeter to measure the battery.
They require occasional cleaning, as the contacts are usually made of metals like copper or brass, which corrode over time. The mod itself will need to be kept clean, too, to work in peak condition.
If you're willing to learn, they're wonderful. I'm totally used to dealing with them now, and find them simple. It feels good to know you're in complete control of your gear (barring acts of god and plane crashes). They come with a learning curve, however.
