Hi i'm new in here and would like help for mech mod

[suprtrkr]

YIKES. Lets please please pause for a moment. Did you see the EDIT in my previous post? I type slowly /lol and from your first post I had no clue about your vaping history. Later in the thread you told us about your vaping history and I indicated such in my Edit. To be clear, YOU will be fine with a mech and have some fantastic advice in this thread. I'm quite sure of that. This is just me but for others purchasing their first Mod with no previous experience then I'm sorry but they should NOT get a mechanical. Period.

I hope this clarifies the issue.

Good luck!

IKR?

KentA if you get offended by what i write

Im sorry if you are offended, but if you feel marked, it might be true and yoy dont write because you dont know, buuut then you wanna be smart and make a total unrelevant comment.
That is what a douche is.

Yeah, fake hybrids because they only work with the protruding pin, is that a general problem that the fake hybrids, that they push the pin up and get loose?

Fake hybrid/direct battery mods can be quite dangerous if the user attempts to attach a delivery device that has a "normal" 510 connector (without the protruding center pin in the 510 connector). This causes electrical issues which can cause the battery to over-discharge into thermal runaway. It is believed that most of the mech mod explosions recently have been with direct battery mods in which the user attached a normal 510 juice attachment.

The above 510 connector has a protruding center pin (copper color).

Please scan the following blogs to insure you have a basic grasp of mech mods and battery safety:

My personal recommendation for a mech mod is one which has top ventilation. The main danger of mechanical mods is that of explosion. Today's safer chemistry batteries will not likely explode, but they will vent a lot of hot gas into the mod. If the mod does not have adequate ventilation to release this gas, it will most likely explode like a bomb. Mech Mods with top venting holes?

I personally use an AltSmoke Silver Bullet. It has multiple safety features built into the mod, is American made, and is relatively inexpensive at less than $90. Inexpensive Mechanical Mod and RDA Setup

What do you mean about the tugboat is a fakebride? That it is only made for the one with the pin out, and not the normal 510 connection?

Here is a truehybrid tank.
It screws directly onto the mod tube with no 510 thread in between.

If you want to use it on a 510 threaded mod, you use the 510 thread adapter shown on the right in the pic.

Also on the left of this post you see my pic of a nemesis with 3d rda truehybrid

I'm not sure if the pin being pushed in is something that happens because of the mod or because of the dripper itself. The center post on my RDA got lose, and the pin would get lose. The more I tried to fix it, the less the pin protruded. Around that time the magnet on my SMPL clone broke, couldn't find a replacement so I just retired it. I get much more enjoyment from my Sigelei 150.

 

[ShapeNvape]

Is tugboat v2 a good mod? Is there many RDA's with protruding pins?

Because if you look up on reviews on youtube, it is mostly people who are "selling it", because they got it free

 

[WindyCityJoe]

just was some dicks in Denmark.

^ +1 on that.

I coould tell you everything you wanted to know, but honestly I feel you are insulting to members who tried to help.

Since you are educated, and of higher intelligence than the rest of us, I'm quite sure you can figure it out on your own. Surely you learned Ohm's Law at the beginning of your first physics class.

Pick out the one you like and go for it.

 

[Canadian_Vaper]

I had Chemistry and Physics at high levels, i've done experiments that could potential go way more wrong than a couple of 18650 batteries can do.

Thing is you don't put those experiments in your face and suck on them lol..

1 just 1 particle of dust in a cell can make the battery faulty....

 

[Skunk!]

I have an Asmodus Klone hybrid mechanical mod I have had for almost two years. The only rda I use with it is the Doge2 authentic. The center pin sticks way out, so even if the top of the battery gets dented it will not dead short on me. I rarely use it anymore though. I have gone more for small vv mods. I really like the ivpd2. If I had the cash to drop on a nice mech mod tho, I would go for a GP Paps or a Vanilla.

 

[Elvensilvan]

I think I should have gotten more coffee, and some popcorn earlier ...

@ShapeNvape, have you even tried reading all those recommended topics?

Sorry dude, but the last post about pipebombs and mods, you just showed how much "educated" you are, and that any advice given is treated as an insult to your level of expertise. Have you ever heard of "thermal runaway"?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Right...
Sharing knowledge and experience is very different from telling you what you want to hear. The people who tell you what you don't want to hear generally have your best interest and that of the vaping community as a whole, at heart.
But seeing as you've single handedly managed to offend just about everyone who has tried to help you it seems that you have a much better grasp of things than the rest of us do.
There is a reason people give the advice that they give, there are people in this forum with a wealth of knowledge and experience which they kindly share with the rest of us and they are NOT obliged to do so.
Maybe you should look at your attitude and be a bit more grateful? Because it doesn't matter what forum you post on, if you post like an arrogant child you will probably get treated like one.

Ive been grateful to all that have been comming with responses. But "stay away from mech mods or be in the news" isnt a help at all. If he had said that battery safety is important, if you presssure your battery to much, it will vent. Maybe not the first time you pressure it, but every time you pressure your battery too hard, it will take some damage and you increase the risk of doing damage to your battery that in worst case can harm you. That had been a great way to do so. Informative while still having the protective perspective. That commemt would help, the other comment doesnt help or anything but talking down to me.

 

[MattyVigilante]

Until someone states where their knowledge lies, how are people to know what you know?
Often posts appear under a similar heading as yours and quite often are written by a non experienced vaper. Who often do not fully understand things such as ohms law and battery safety for example.
You think it best that we assume every new member is an expert in electronic safety and point them in a direction that could cause them harm? Or do we air on the side of caution and advise some good reading material where they can learn these things more in depth?
Search "my first mech" in the forum search and you can read literally 100's of posts from people who are eager to get into mechs with little to no knowledge of how to do it safely. Maybe then you can see why people react the way they do?
Be constructive and polite in your replies though, remember we are here to help!

Vape on!!

 

[ShapeNvape]

That might be the case, but after i told my experince, people took it like i thought i was better. A link to a good reading would i never critize.

Because i would love all the information i could get. Thats why i asked but when i get a non-construtive answer like "news" i find it offensive and will answer of same. Everyone who came with answers in best interest, im sure dont feel offended, but i think many just critizing me now for doing it

 

[KentA]

...Someone mention pipebomb, it has to be a total closed of mod... And if there is vent holes, you gonna have a crappy pipe bomb, you want your pipebomb as closed as possible. Please guys, research or shut the .....

(He doesn't realize an exploding battery can expand & close the vents. Let's let him discover this for himself.)

 

[retired1]

We're definitely done here. Closing.
