Life time quality mod? Such a thing in a semi-disposable world.

Who can remember those cheap 2D flashlights, where the tip of the PR2 light bulb (black glass with a drop of solder) made direct contact with the battery top button. The shortest drop of the flashlight was enough to crash the bulb tip, shorting the batteries.
Same situation of the mech: it is irresponsible to operate one of those.

Since I do all of my vaping < 75w it hasn't been a problem for me.

Practical problem? No.

Personally though, I have an ethical problem supporting a vendor who misrepresents their products.

However, I do understand that not everyone feels that way and I would not impose my standards on others even if I could.

Seems like a potential market opening. A next gen mech with Baditudes safety Requirements.

It wouldn't add much to the manufacturing costs. It's a shame that mech manufacturers don't take a scientific approach when they design their mods when it comes to making a safer product that by nature is potentially dangerous to careless users.

What I don't understand is especially in unregulated box mods that already use wires and a MOSFET, why don't they include a mini-inline fuse holder? Doing that would offer short circuit protection (as long as the fuse used was at or below the max recommended discharge amp rating for the batteries used) and an easy to replace fuse for probably just a few extra cents if bought in bulk for manufacturing. They can even be bought single at retail for $3 or less. If I were building my own I would include one.

For a pure mech I know this wouldn't be possible without adding wires and making not quite a pure mech.

The trouble with traditional fuses is the time it takes them to detect an over-current condition and actually blow, and as you approach the rating of the fuse, there will be a material voltage drop across it. On a MOSFET mod, you've already got a voltage drop across the MOSFET. This can be monitored, and the MOSFET shut down if it's too high, making the fuse pretty much redundant.

For a pure mech I know this wouldn't be possible without adding wires and making not quite a pure mech.

Pure mech squonker, no wires, with fuse:

Well I got the VGOD for my Peerless today we will see how it holds up. It's a copper tube with fire button in the cap and no 510 socket.

What do you consider to be the best mechanical mods available? And I mean affordable like under the $200 range

Like I said, Super T Workhorse. If you break one of those, you probably work with either high explosives or on skyscraper construction (scratch that, skyscraper height wouldn't do it. It would definitely bore right through a hard hat though so get some umbrella insurance coverage just in case.)
