I'm Stuck Need Mech Mod Help.

[Equniox]

Hey ECF, been browsing around here for about a week now, learned a few things, got a whole lot more questions out of it though. Now I'l keep this as short as I can. I started vaping almost a month ago, grabbed a cheap Kangertech EVOD starter kit, worked fine for me, grabbed the protank 2 and a variable voltage battery, played around a lot with that, burned a few juices and a few coils doing it. Now I'm not horribly interested in rebuild-able atomizers, that area is more or less over my head. However I am very interested in mods. I was originally looking into an Itaste VTR and using a natalus mini on it, since the full size version wont fit, but man is that vape HEAVY. So looking around and at some Canadian vendors (I live in Alberta, Canada), and my local vape shop which said that could get me in something special order if I asked. Found the Nemisis Copper Clone, and I love how it looked, I know its a clone but finding original mods is a bit of a pain and their price tag hurts.

So onto my questions. Is this a decent mech mod? Can I use a Kick/Kick 2 by Evolv chip in it, and what do i need to know if I want to build this thing otherwise, regards to batteries and general supplies I may need.

Have you considered the MVP v2? It's a great mod with variable v/w and a mini Nautillus would work great on it!

 

[Nytebreed]

Nautilus will work fine on a VTR they come with an extension tube that allows you to mount the tank on top.

+1 on the MVP
If you're going to be sticking with Kangers and Nautili(?) then a mechanical mod isn't going to give you the best vape. You're going to have a pretty set coil resistance and if your stuck with just the battery voltage, I'm afraid that you will be dissatisfied with your vaping experience. A variable voltage/wattage device would serve you much better in this instance. There are many different vv/vw mods out there and a ton of different price points... MVP, IVP, ProVari ($$), etc... do a search and find one that you like... but unless you are building your own coils, mechanical mods just aren't worth it, IMO... Heck, with the new vv/vw mods, mechanical mods may go the way of the dinosaur!

I'd skip the Nemesis if I were you, because you say you don't want to bother with rebuilding. If you get a mech you are headed down that road. Not that it's a bad thing, I'm on my 5th mech and 3rd RBA, and I love them, it's just that it's not for everyone. Yes, you can use a kick, but if your are going to spend money on that plus the mech, why not just get a decent regulated mod?

 

[HecticEnergy]

You say you have the vtr, but it's too strong?
Have you tried turning down the wattage /voltage? Maybe buy higher resistance heads?

 

[HecticEnergy]

I agree, skip the mech for now. Mvp would be better and cheaper than a kicked mech for your purposes.

For the best performance when using a tank with pre made coils you want a regulated device NOT a mechanical device. You will get a better vape, since a mechanical mods' power is dependent on it's battery power and when the battery drops so does your vape quality, and you are NOT able to adjust voltage down like you were with your variable voltage device. Also a mechanical mod doesn't work too well with higher resistance coils, like you would buy with certain tanks. Plus there is a lot more to have to learn and deal with. A good variable wattage device would be best for you describe you want to do and would be the safest, and more of a set it and forget vape device. I just recommend one with a pass through option.

I have to agree. If your not going to be building a good regulated mod might be best for now. A kick will either regulate volts or wattage depending on the kick you buy but their is a whole lot to learn before using a advanced mech mod with no safty features.mvp2 might be a great choice because your not interested in building so you won't be vaping at a high wattage..some of the newer regulated mods allow a person to more safely sub ohm down to .2 and vape at a higher wattage, like 50 watts. But to be able to vape that high of wattage again you would likely have to build because pre made coils are not geared to go that high in wattage. So for your needs now I'd also vote for the mvp2. It's a great device with excellent battery life and you can control wattage. Google mvp2 and see what you think about it. Best wishes

 

[HecticEnergy]

If you don't like the box style of the the mvp, the itaste vv3 is similar, but about half the battery life...

mechanical mods are a lot of work, and you have to be careful to stay safe, but they are worth every second and penny you spend on them. you will never go back

POOR ADVISE given the OP is not interested in rebuildables. Next time read the OP's question before you answer.

I'm not trying to get on you, but a mechanical mod is a horrible idea to use with the OP's Protank, and there are many people who have bough mechanical mods and quickly went back to a regulated device, so like anything it's not for everyone and is NOT a good upgrade for a new vaper.

Agreed. Mechs are USUALLY for hobbits who want to subvert the the safety built in to regulated devices... Sure, it wasn't always that way, but that seems to be the trend now with all the 30w+ regulated devices.

Anddd... with clearomizers, Mech mods aren't really great performers. The regulated mods offer a consistent vape, instead of one that degrades as the battery dies.

30w devices are overkill for clearomizers IMO. Most clearomizers are happy around 8w... so the 11w that the MVP2 and other such devices offer should be MORE than enough.

A clearomizer can't even handle 30 watts, it would just most likely burn up the coils and there's nothing wrong with mechanical mods, it's just not a good idea for the OP and anyone who is not using rebuildabe attys and people who are not ready for them. I personally have 9 MODs and 8 are mechs but all I use is rebuildabe attys.

 

[HecticEnergy]

That's pretty much what I said... Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I wasn't bashing mech users.

As I said: "30w devices are overkill for clearomizers IMO. Most clearomizers are happy around 8w..."

and there's nothing wrong with mechanical mods,
Your right, nothing wrong with mechs. I've got one and I'm pretty happy with it when I have a decent build on it. "Mechs are USUALLY for hobbits(type-o should say Hobbyists - ie: those that like to rebuild) who want to subvert the the safety built in to regulated devices..."

it's just not a good idea for the OP and anyone who is not using rebuildabe attys and people who are not ready for them.
Yup.. think I said that too: "with clearomizers, Mech mods aren't really great performers."

I personally have 9 MODs and 8 are mechs but all I use is rebuildabe attys.
Congratulations! to each their own - I run 3 devices, 2 regulated and my mech. I've been using my mech more than not. Again, nothing is wrong with mechanical, just not good in this context - which is where I posted the comment..

Sit back, breath, and have a vape...

Yeah it was a toss up when you used all caps with the word usually, but I didn't think you were bashing all mech users, just certain ones.

Wasn't trying to bash anyone...
I'm sure some people kick mechs and use a clearo on it..
Some just buy em for the looks.
Whatever makes you happy. It's just usually when I see mechs, its got an rda on it with a build lower than most 30w mods will push. If that's your thing, I say go for it! Just please be safe
Any way, that's what the USUALLY was all about. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok, well I'm not going to keep commenting about our conversation on this thread, before someone gets the wrong idea and thinks I'm recommending something.

I have both MVP 2 and Nemesis Clone. MVP is my go to device while I travel and doesn't want to complicate things. However I love Nemesis over MVP for the sheer feel of the device and Kick it around 12W. Nautilus Mini vapes like a beast with this setup but the true power of a Mech comes once you use RBAs and switch to Sub-Ohm vaping...
