What's your preferred? They both are fun to use however I'm more for durability and the fact I like the idea if a mechanical mod's battery goes bad, easily replaced. Hexohm however has a life time warranty which is pretty nice (depending on the vendor) and the fire button is just slick and simple.
HexOhm mod or mechanical mod?

I personally would go for the HexOhm but I like regulated mods. Take a look at the SX350 chip its 50W rite now and possibly upgradable further for free. It can also go into bypass mode and be used as a mech mod. I have been vaping it on a cheap 510 all week and its insane. I cant wait to get my high end 510 connectors for it and really test it out good.
Regulated all the way, changing out batteries every 45 minutes in order to get a consistent vape is extremely annoying.
Agree, check out the iPV 50watt boxmod,b etter specs, cheaperand user replaceable 18650. Personally, I love a mech and don't mind an unregulated vape--the simplicity and serviceability appeal to me.

But it seems playing with ohms, and watt changing is about the same... Isn't it? Then again... I can get a smoother vape with more vape cloud hit with the watt changer. Really conflicted on such a impressive device. How tough is the hexohm and does it have vent air ways?
the relationship between ohms and wattage is governed by ohms law, however, pushing 50 watts through a 32 gauge coil will not get you positive results.
the hexohm is constructed in a stomp box, probably hammond, I don't think you will find a more rugged enclosure. the back, held on by magnets will pop off should there be any need for explosive venting. The 10 amp limit stated is probably conservative. dual 18650s is a definite plus. negative points would be lack of built in voltage indication, manually having to use ohms law (if you dont know what im talking about this device isnt for you) and price but that seems par for being made outside asia.
Seeing as i own both, my thoughts are that i really would get both if possible. .3 ohms on a mech is great! the feeling of a .6 ohm coil at 6volts on the hexohm is also incredible. Essentially there is a place for both and for me its on a daily basis.
But if i had to chose one to have for good...hmmm I would get the hexohm and give up all my mechs to have it.
The hexohm is an awesome device, the OKR T10 chip set is great, it really is. The hexohm takes a bit more knowledge in my opinion, seeing as you need a pair of batteries that are new just for that mod and you need charge them at the same time and you need to switch their position in the battery sled every time you discharge them down to needing charging. The twin 18650 battery life is great i can vape at 60 watts 10 amps all day and well into the next before batteries need charging. get a hexohm you will not be disappointed.

Why not look at the Duke and give the money to the ECFer that invented the mod in the first place? Just sayin'....
This thing?
The Duke v1.7
Also, if I've already learned and skillfully played with mechanical mods, & sub ohm'ing, what other things are there to consider to look into before investing in a Hexohm?

I do hear ya there there. I would have went with the duke but hexohm was so easily available to me and the lifetime warranty made it worth it.
To the OP the hexohm is essentially a duke. Same functions same chip.
But besides the battery thing i explained earlier, there really isnt much to know. Its entirely analog on the inside there arent any screens at all so you just learn over time how long the batteries last by pulling them and putting them on the meter. Besides that if you already know mechs real well and have a good knowledge of ohms law then you should be good to go. The duke is great the hexohm is great, it seems that the hexohm has a massive reddit following.
Its all preference. But the guys and gals at craving vapor are awesome. I havent worked with goss, the maker of the duke, but i hear he is great to work with.
I am not sure if they come with the warranty. Nor am i sure about the availability. I wen with the hexohm because it was easy to find and it had the lifetime warranty, granted again i dont know about the dukes warranty.
Hopefully someone will chime in for ya. I just looked on craving vapors site and the cost of the hexohm is now 150 i paid 135 for mine. It still has the lifetime warranty though. Sadly at this moment they are out of stock they will probably be on sale in a few days again. They take orders make them, ship them then more orders so its a waiting game.

you could also contact GOSS on this forum about getting ahold of one id imagine. Dont quote me though.
Sorry for the constant posts lol
It says on the site every Monday at 10am for the new orders. they do 10-25 at a time.

Goss will support your Duke mod for life, yes. He's a rock solid guy and makes them all himself by hand. They may be a little harder to get but worth the wait IMO.
Goss suggests the Orbtronic PD 2900 10amp batteries but others will work at well.
Think of the Duke as the best of both worlds. You get the power and ability to drive subohm coils like with a mech mod but your get the consistancy of a vv/vw device. I have often been vaping something on one of mechs and then swapped it to my Duke and been blown away.

Duke hexohm either way they are sooooo good.
And seeing as goos with support his for life get the duke! I may have to get a duke now as well just for support to the maker i guess. Thats a good enough reason. I hope the OP goes down the duke road rather than the hexohm just for GOSS's sake both are great devices. They have a 10 amp limit i didnt see if the OP's question got answered. I use vtc5's in mine and man oh man such good battery life.

I don't know which to choose. Hexohm or duke 
what's the lowest ohm I can go on a vtc5 batteries? Also a bit curious. Those metal like things on the corners are they screws or magnets ? I expect it to be tough not just functional

Get the one that you can get, frankly. The other benefit to these boxes is that the OKR chip is rugged and time tested. I like the IPV mods that are coming out but I'll let other folks be the beta testers. Might get one down the road. The Duke is a great mod, the Hexohm....there are others. I've got one that is neither. BTW....the chip is a lot cheaper than the SX or DNA series chips in the event it does fail, and there is TONs of info on these kinds of mods.
