That thud you just heard was the Dollar a Day group passing out en mass.
Nice collection.

Is it safe to use mechanical mods - to subohm?

You make a very good point. However, to everyone who reads this. I do not consider myself and expert with mods, rda's and coils. It was not my intention to either covey or imply any expertise on these subjects. I have talked about how many mods I have purchased to show others that I am not a person who just went out and bought myself a mod some where and use it occasionally. I brought up some of the safe practices that I use and encouraged others to basically add to the list - that was the main intention of this thread, no matter how far it has strayed from there.
You are right that I have not had enough time to really thoroughly evaluate the mods, rda's and tanks I have bought. However, my first job that I held from the age of 14 until I graduated college, was working in my fathers machine shop. I also spent over 28 years as a director of engineering for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, where part of my vast responsibilities was to oversee engineering and equipment maintenance of 73 plants. That said, I can look at the way a mechanical device has been manufactured and know more about it in a very short period of time, than the average person can.
In addition, I have met and learned from several people who have been vaping for quite some time. I am highly intelligent and learn very quickly. Over the past couple of weeks, I have walked in to several vape shops and shown people my coil builds who have all remarked that my coil builds look like they were done by somebody who had been doing them for years. I learned from one of the best in the world and some of the exotic builds I have done, such as zipper coils, I learned from first watching it done on Youtube and then practicing over and over and over again until I could imitate what I seen on a video.
All that said, I apologize to anyone if I came off as a braggart or know it all. I respect other peoples opinions and do not think that I know anywhere near as much about vaping as I hope to learn. I like sharing pictures of my mods with others but if it offends people, I will keep them and conversation about the same to myself.

Both of my box mods were gifts, the black Hexohm is a modified version made in Austin and it was a gift from a friend of mine who owns a vape store. The Conspiracy Mods was a gift from my son. From what I understand it is also built in Texas.
Before getting the Hexohm, I really had no interest in box mods. Now that I have a couple of them, I find myself vaping on them quite a bit. The Conspiracy Mods come in regulated and unregulated. The one I have is unregulated and will take anything I can put on it. The Hexohm will go down to .20 but I have a six wrap dual coil on it (28awg) that is at .36 It hits very nice and I think it is probably in the top five of all box mods, from comments and reviews I have read concerning the same. Regardless, I like it!
I personally didn't take it that way...It sounded like an opening too a discussion on the safe use of Mechanical Mods.
But some of the replies are RIGHT OUT OF GRADE SCHOOL.
I'm nowhere near in the same expendable cash bracket as you, but I wanted to offer a high five for the MCV Overdose. I treated myself to one last month (it's the only authentic mechanical mod I own) and even though I'm still paying off my credit card to make it "mine", I'm very pleased that that I bought it. it gets a lot of love.
You have great tastes in mods. Some people I talk to consider MVC mods to be the Rolls Royce of mods. I have a Overdose and Kingpin from them. Both are very well made and I definitely love the way they hit.
Story up. You dont own 200 authentic mods and 200 authentic attys in my opinion. If you show me a picture well then
See posts #34, #46, #94. I may have missed a few others that speak to Tyger's story.
I tell you what, just out of fairness. Count the ones you see in this thread, show me that you got even 15% of what I have shown, and I will start pulling stuff out of boxes and posting them here. And to be very frank with you sir, I don't care if you believe me or not.
Even if you see pictures, how will you know they are authentic
Sir you brought up an excellent point. Some are hard to distinguish from the clones. Others you need to take pictures of certain parts, for instance, the firing pins to distinguish authentic verses fake. And then some, like the Steampunk stand out like a sore thumb from their clones. I guess a lot comes from seeing them both. I had a Patriot RDA on a Duece Prism that I thought was real until a friend of mine showed me a slight difference in the engraving of the clone verses the original. See if you can spot the difference.
For the record, the Kryptonite is number 006 of 25 currently in circulation and was verified as authentic on the Facebook page of Silver Wolf Customs - the mod maker.
Thank you Susan~S. On another subject, I have heard the acronym 'PS' used on this forum on several occasions. What does it mean?
looked at those posts ... didn't see any pictures showing 200 mods or 250 drippers.
I'd still like to see a pic of the 200 mods, the 250 drippers ... and now the Ferrari you were racing the cop with.
I also want to see a photo of all your mods, not because i don't believe you but because i want to see what 200 mods look like all lined up
My wife is so happy that I have quit smoking and chewing that she has not made much of a fuss at all over what I have been spending on vaping....lol!
Years ago PS referred to the vendor Puresmoker (no longer in existence). The only other PS I can recall seeing is "post script". Maybe someone else can address this.
BTW, have you tried the new DNA-40 board in an rDNA or Vapor Flask? Do you have you a Viscious Ant high wattage box mod in your collection? I have yet to get a high wattage box mod but hope to at some point. And I am definitely interested in a DNA-40 temperature control mod once all the kinks get worked out.
The only "authentic" mechanical mods I own are my beloved Reo woodvils (and one LP Reo Grand)! I scoop up the woodvils whenever I can find them! Fortunately I only picked up few "tube style" mechanicals before I discovered the Woodvils.
