There isn't anything necessarily wrong with the new devices. I'm sure they work well.

For me, they are just getting way too large and bulky.

The battery life on a mech has never been a real bother for me. I feel like it is a bit exaggerated sometimes.

Whether new devices vape "better" or not, a mech can still give a great vape. And of course you have the durability of them.

The only reason battery life isn't what we expect is because the batteries aren't rated properly and specs are vastly exaggerated. There is a difference is real time life span when you are pushing Samsung 25r at 30 amp as opposed to 20 amp. And a lot of people that super sub ohm are getting hit with sub half hour spans. Some even 25 mins. But if they built to spec it would be exponentially increased.

The only true 30 amp battery I know of is the LG Chem HB6 at 1500 mAH, and I swear that thing lasts longer than most of these 2000+ mah devices when you amp drain under 30 amps. Doesn't get hot at all as well so you know the battery isn't being pushed.

I don't think even the coveted VTC series are true 30 amp batteries. This is the one sector of technology no one is pushing to advance whether it be cell phones or vaping. Obviously the R&D costs are too high for what the market will bare. Unless companies see that people might be willing to spend $20+ on better batteries, this will not change.

Oh! Do tell.....

LOL

Oh, alright then.

Another Poldiac
Atmizoo roller (to go with my Dingo)
Silver bullet M

I'd been waiting for the current Poldiac sale and bought another full satin classic instantly, and then had a quick look on ebay (like you do) and there were the other 2 at good prices. What was I to do? :)

I love my mechs, never give them up for anything. For my bday thought about getting myself an IPV3...but decided instead to spend that money on 8 mech clones from FT.

Ended up getting the IPV3 later on anyway...and it's collecting dust.

I know the battery sagging on mechs is often seen as a negative, but for me it's a positive. I've never been surprised by a dead battery on a mech, but since I'm not in the habit of checking LED displays on my vaporizer, I got caught with my pants down using that IPV3 all the time.

I've got 4 GP Paps clones (1 full set, and 1 in each size as separates), a Launcher V2, SS Nemesis, Copper Nemesis, JM Mod.

Caravela clone in the fail box.

About to order a Tesla Biomech and considering the Fecit. (Since I want a side button mech, don't want to pay for an authentic Poldiac, and the FT Poldiac, frankly, sux)

+1 & Amen from another proud Soldier in the Mechanized Forces.
Personal Fav Weapons of Choice are the dual 18650 Box Mods. Have had the single 18650 "tube-types" as well and still carry a Blackhawk Hellfire full-copper Panzer from time to time.
Newest Heavy Artillery addition to the Ft. Vape Armory (and now my daily carry Device) is the Hollowpoint from Silver Wolf Customs.

Personally, I prefer my Chips with Salsa and my Screens in 70" hanging on my Wall :thumb:

I freaking love mechs, simple, DURABLE, effective, beautiful designs, DURABLE, long battery life, nice 22mm mech with a matching 22mm rda look amazing, did i mention durable? The only reason i use box mods over mechs is because its easier to carry in my pockets. Also mechs get warm after chain vaping.
