is there anything i have to watch out for with mech mods? like.. safety wise? (other than the obligatory smoke, fire, melting battery, hotness..) I have to admit I haven't looked into them that much.
Igo-W Yay

Just use the correct batteries for the builds you make.example;Don't use a 10A battery on a .3~ build,....bad things will happen very fast.
Forgive my ignorance. Is there a resource somewhere that I can look at that will in somewhat simple terms explain the whole battery thing? Looking at tasteyourjuice's battery page and im just confusing myself

As long as you are using standard LR builds and up (1.5-3.0) using standard 10A batts you will be fine.If you are going to go sub ohm you will need to use 30-35A batts,nothing else.
I Love love my B&M it's in NJ shore jersey devils and every experience has been cared about heck they even built me a coil & helped me out w everything! Love good places definitely find a good B&M that's where I go for help. Good Luck

Idk if I'm doing things all wrong but I just use regular cotton balls I found at Walmart. I just made sure the bag said sterile & unbleached. So far so good!
Oh should've read the whole thread looks like u figured it out!

not explicitly planning on doing sub ohm builds but i wouldn't mind the possibility of trying it out. Would you happen to have any suggestions for both 10A and 30-35A batts? I'm looking at the "battery basics for mods" page here on the forum, it's quite helpful, but there only seems to be a few choices for the higher amps and I'm just wondering which you might think would be the best choice for me.
also any suggestions on a real good battery charger? I'm seeing a lot of cheap ones looking around.. the one PBusardo recommends on Taste your Juice is out of stock, and googling it doesn't seem to be finding me any luck..
There's more to it than just batteries! You have to make sure coil dosent contact any metal except for the propper posts. If this would happen, would also be bad. Also you have to check condition of positive post on 510 connection making sure its not making contact with neg. Part of 510 connection. Not trying to scare you just pointing out things to pay attention to.
that all sounds pretty common sense. Thank you for pointing it out, that's the type of stuff I'm worried about not looking out for and ending up being sorry for it.
I've also heard things about not draining your battery to far when using a mech mod? Wondering if that's a big concern and if so how I would be able to monitor the battery without a readout.. I'm guessing the vape will just get weaker but it's a whole new grey area to me at the moment.
I use Efest batteries. Efest 1600mah is a 30A batt./Efest hybrid 2250mah 10A/new just out Efest 2900mah 35A. I also use the Efest LUC V4 battery charger it's a little more expensive.It charges all battery sizes up to 26650.
A multimeter will allow you to measure the resistance of your coils and monitor the voltage of your battery so that you don't over discharge it.
man.. so much really useful info... I gotta thank all of you.
anyone out there have any good suggestions for a middle of the road mech? I don't mind spending a little more on one if it's going to be worth it.. Don't exactly have 100 dollars to spend on just the tube, but going by the "you get what you pay for mantra" I kinda worry about grabbing one for 30 bucks.. Am I just being a worrier?

K100 or k101 starter set usually comes with the tube, some batteries, maybe a topper and a case. B&Ms here in CA have them for about 50-60

That nemesis is the best bang for your buck in a small package, it will prolly have the best voltage drop as well which should be your primary concern. Some clones have bad v drop.

Welcome to Rebuilding, a good wrap sure makes your best tasting clearo/carto seem quite bland doesn't it? 
The igo-W was my first rebuildable too. My favorite setup was a basic dual micro coil at around 1ohm. (w/ 30g Kanthal wire)
Here is a handy chart for your reference regarding battery basics:
Do note that you never want to fully drain your battery on your mechanical like you can do on a regulated mod. If that's something you don't want to think about or deal with, then you could regulate your mechanical by way of a kick:
Evolv Kick 2
Or, just stick with a regulated PV for the time being. With exception of the innokin series, most PV's will not fire below 1.2-1.3ohms. (not sure if the SVD will go below 1.2)
I also highly recommend getting a resistance checker as well. Happy vaping!

this is by far the best clone i have ever used. still a daily driver even though i have a few high end mechanicals . not be confused with the $20 model.
