Leo Mecha First Impressions

[Leithan]

Vape mail! Who doesn't love it? The mail gods were kind and my package only sat in ICS New York for 2 days. I have been waiting for this mod for a while. I love Leo's stuff, simple designs but with a lot of engineering. His stuff has a mechanical beauty all it's own. What really got me interested in this mod was the simplicity of the design, no real switch to speak of and only two plastic parts. It's also a very compact mod

Here it is in 18350, 18650 and 18650 with Kick extension modes.

Broken down into it's major parts

The Head, inner tube, outer tube, end cap, hot spring (18350 mode) and optional Kick extension.

And the Head broken down with a close up of the contacts

The spring is only needed when using an 18350 otherwise the bottom cap has a raised portion to make the negative contact. The top post does double duty as both the positive battery contact and the positive connection to the vape device.
The Head has air control, by screwing the control ring all the way down you lock out the Mod against accidental firing. The rings are interchangeable with a few different options. I have the vera ring installed. There is no need for an adjustable top pin because of the way the Mod works. To fire it, you lightly pull down on the top portion of the head bringing the 510 connecter into direct contact with the center pin.
Here she is in 18350+Kick mode and sporting a Kayfun. And another in the leather case / lanyard it came shipped in.

Some quick numbers for those who care.
With a fresh Orb PD2900 High drain that metered out at 4.23 volts.
I got 4.13 volts at the connection
With a IGO L and a .63 Ohm Coil, I got 3.74 volts at the atty posts under load.
Not really sure how this stacks up (I don't really pay attention to V drop claims) but this was the numbers I got.
So there it it, after I get a few more days on the Mod, Ill try to do a quick video.

I just watched his video of this, and this looks really awesome, the above pictures really interested me. I don't have any of his creations, but I think if I was going to get a mech mod, I would get this one. Such a simple design, no real switch to wear out, and very easy to understand how it works.
