Huh? Atomizer compatibility limitations with variable mods?

[Tuvya]

I'm surely duplicating but I still don't fully get this...

Aside from the cosmetic makeup of a mechanical aiding in conductivity to your vaping experience...

Are there physical atomizer compatibility limitations for a variable? (Please explain). In which you have to be aware of for your variable versus a mechanical when purchasing an atomizer?

What is the reason for limitations for a sub ohm setups on variables? I think it's wattage output... (I'm sure that question has surely been dived into on this forum)

When I upgrade my already awesome setup... My preference is to put a kick on a mechanical as the variable is essential on my twist. I'd choose a mechanical because they look cooler, cheaper, you can use a Sony battery, and the whole idea is OG.

Any other other cool to pass on reasons and advice you'd be happy sharing? Or holes you'd be happy filling in which I may just sound like I understand more than i do?

Thanks guys for your previous detailed explanations

VV/VW APV's power output is limited by an amp limit, part of the safety features of a APV chipset.
If a delivery devices resistance causes a condition where the amp limit is exceeded the saftey features are triggered and it displays an error code and or won't fire the coil.
I haven't experienced or heard of a store bought premade head / coil that an APV won't power, it is when you build your own coils below 1ohm (sub ohm) that some will have trouble with. Sometimes you can reduce the power output to a point where the combo of the resistance and power going to the coil will be under the amp limit and it will fire the lower ohm coil.
A mechanical by itself will fire anything you put on top of it as long as it will thread on, most if not all are 510 connection only.

The kick has an amp & wattage output limit also so it too will limit how low of an ohm range it will fire. The kick will effectively make a mechanical a VW APV, but without the other fetures an apv offers such as a display screen that will display ohms, easily adjustable power output, battey level etc.

Bottom line, the reason VV/VW / kick type power devices have ohm range limitations boils down to safety.
A mechanical only has one saftey feature which is between the users ears.

That is if I understood your question.

Only PHYSICAL limitations I am aware of are the mounting threads and configurations. Coil and power related issues can be adjusted for within, specific limitations. Most "mods" have only 510 threads and need an adapter to uses atomizers with either 810 or EGO or other threadings.

I agree that a big part at least for sub ohming is power output of regulated vs mechanical. That trend is starting to change a bit with the higher 100+ wattage devices becoming available although they are relatively new and the longevity of these is yet to be determined.

I was just going to say, things are changing and the new variable will allow sub ohm down to .2 and the wattage is 150 watts or more. These usually run two 30 amp batteries and give the best of both worlds. Allowing a very low resistance yet giving the short circuit protection you wouldn't have with a mechanical.

Thank you 93GC40 for the physical explanation. It was mind boggling to rarely hear a detailed explanation of what these mysterious incompatibilities are.
And Thank you Topwater Elvis for your explanation. These responses were exactly what I was looking for.

The next is trying to research more about the materials used and various conductivity in mods.

Question is how well or long is the circuitry going to hold up with higher heat and amperage? That part is the unknown at this point.
