Ok,as a newbie,I have to ask.When dealing with Mechs...we are all dealing with 3.7 volts....assuming you are running the same atty,tank,carto etc etc...how is one going to hit better than another?Aside from feel in your hand,button feel and looks I dont see how one can be better than another as far as hit quality.I dont see hit quality mentioned often when dealing with Mechs but I have seen it mentioned.Maybe a placebo effect to feel better about spending 200 bucks on a Mech?I love the nice Mechs too,so dont get me wrong,I just like them because of looks and what I might have read or seen about button feel and such.

And in other news. Quick note on the upcoming mod from Mexico, the Aztec. Not in the wild yet so hard to say if it will fall into the "High End Mod" category. And I suppose people would think twice on the quality given it sold for around 90 bucks.

BUT.... The modder sure seems to be taking pride with these. There was a delay as he was not happy with the engraving samples that were coming back. For the price I suppose he could have just settled.... Instead he is doing it himself now. One at a time....



Regardless of how it comes out, sure seems he cares about the product. We will see.....

I know. But what to do, I'm so poor, should I stop vaping and pick up that B&H again? Oh, that's clone too 555s!

Can't pick up an eGo-T either, 'coz they r the Janty or Ovale clone. Uh, that reminds me to add 'eRoll' in the previous list -- that's an Ovale Clone, LOL.

The janty stuff is shady but the newer ovale stuff is a contract with joye as far as I know. Ovale distributes certain places/vendors and joye worldwide.

Some mech have much higher voltage drops than other, in other words less power is getting to the carto/atty. For example the Nzomic has one of the lowest power losses of any mech...

It's kinda like cars. Most all will take you from point A to point B. Some will take you in style, others will get you there with performance.
Some are very exclusive and only made in very small sporadic batches which can make them targets for collectors that will rarely take them out on the road.

Some of the same can be said about mech mods.

I think it will, provided it performs. You know as well as I, quality does not have to be a $200+ mod. As highlighted above, that makes a world of difference.

Long story short... It's all about conductivity. The more conductive the mech the more power makes it to the coil. No... They are not all created equal in this regard and the price of a mod doesn't necessarily translate into conductivity.

Rather than get into the minutia, this article does a good job of breaking it down and provides a good explanation... Voltage Drop – Not Where You Think

Just in case anyone is interested in the Precise ELA, David posted this morning that there are 25 left in the 2nd batch ( total of both batches 400) after those are sold it will be a long while till more are available and when they do come back it will be a 10-12 week production wait and they will not come with all the extras and the introductory price of 189.00

The photo shown has the optional kick tube and an extra set of accent rings.
You will get the two top caps and one set of accent rings.

Thought Id let people know in case you might be putting it off. :) It will be a hard to find item amazing device.
