Duh, slap me in the forehead
Glass, unless you get a BF atty from him he can't set you up with MM.
As trunk (whats up with the change in avatar) said, it is larger than most posts take and I drill out my posts.
Mech Mod advantages?

Oh - Terminator 5! goes with my new title - ok i lie, my title is always super member cos i didn't want to become 'Ultratrunker, PV Trunker' etc.
Laziness i suppose, i'd prefer people judged my advice rather than some poxy tag! But i do like the new pic - more menacing no? LOL - wife is shaking her head.

No worries, already send pdib an atty... the drilling part tho... that I don't know, but will ask him
. Is your Avatar one of those coils? It looks like a cake from a distance.
Au Contraire.. I do know the difference between expensive and cheap. You said that mech mods were all expensive, implying that was a trait of mech mods, and I said it was not a trait of mech mods but of workmanship. You can find both in mech mods, because artists can more easily use the mech mod as a framework for their art, and do not have to think like an engineer to design it
What he said was:
The high end mech mods are more expensive than the regulated mods. Not all the mech mods.
Side note: yes a clone mech like the k100 definitely gets bet by regulated. So yes you are right what I was trying to show was high ends in both regulated and mechanical. Sorry for the confusion.

But you have to look at overall even the high end regulated devices there is very few compared to the amount of mechs. When I say that I mean top of line in both regulated and mechs. There's more mechs. I'm just trying to say/point out that mechs tend to be more for the advanced user. They're mainly for the purpose of achieving a higher results vape. Regulated is amazing. I love it I use it too. I wanted a better vape. More warmth but not hot. More flavor and more vapor evenly. Could this be achieved in attys made for regulated. Sure you can put them on a mech but honestly a 1.9 ohm is really good on a regulated because you can adjust. It doesn't do so well on mech. I coil my own and I keep them around .2-.5 range. It's my area of interest. Were all here for one reason to get off those damn cigs. Whatever works for you is the best. The op is asking why do people choose mechs also why do people sub vape. In the simplest terms regulated didn't give me what I wanted because why? Well it's regulated. And that's good for the most part. When I wanted a more better vape that I could get by coiling myself on amazing coils. Only things to use those on are mechs. Just raw power in those mechs. Sure I run in possible issues well I know those risks that's the only rule. Sure I could wrap a coil to be above 1.3 but they just don't give same experience as lower ohms do. Regardless of everything. Op use what you want if you like it stay with it. If you want more eventually you get to the option of mechs which are pretty fun but with caution. After a hard evening of building a coil, dealing with those headaches, checking ohms law, it's very satisfying vape because you did all the work at the end I wanna stick it on my device and puff away with ease not fumble with buttons or make ohms high. It's a good feeling when switching from regulated to mech but it's not for everyone. Op just explore what fits your vape taste.

Good answer. I can't tell what I like without trying it. Haven't had a chance to try sub ohm really... so wanted someone to tell me why they thought it was worth trying.

Yeah

The avatar is currently dual horizontal stacked MM on an RM2 AKA the "Meat Grinder" (Named by xobeloot) Each coil is 0.8 ohms 6 wrap of MM on 1.2mm ID (1 clockwise and 1 counterclockwise) with cotton wicks for a parallel resistance of 0.4 ohms. I keep a RM2 with this setup on it (really hogged out posts) and it is not my daily vape because it will dull my taste buds if used daily. I use it occasionally sort of like a fine wine reserved for reward. Narrowing the distance between the coils alters its characteristics from lots of throat hit to "holy cow" throat hit.
Here it is with more resolution: (Although this might be a 7 wrap version)
And here is a vertical version called "Towers of Power" (I prefer the Meat Grinder)

Its all relative to what you are looking for. I have coiled sub ohm, and oh man...clouds of vapor is an understatement!
However, I am more flavor-driven than huge amounts of vapor, so sub-ohming really brings little to the table in that arena, although some ejuice flavors do better than others at a given voltage/resistance.
BTW, this is not a knock at all about vaping sub ohm...like everything else, its a matter of what works best for you.
This really depends on the coil set up, atty, juice, mod, and that subjective thing Homo sapiens.
Some setups leave taste very lacking for me. (Very subjective thing taste is)
I am not a cloud chaser, but rather a taste and overall vape experience chaser.
Lots of variables, but once dialed in with taste in mind I personally find it completes the table.
Ok... I thought I'd bring it up here because you guys seem very electronically savvy, and I need some help. I started a big discussion on the BilletBox thread about the best ohm to use for that. The discussion had to do with battery life, and I'm still confused, but I don't want to disrupt that thread anymore with questions that do not pertain to the item itself.
So, for BATTERY LIFE only, having nothing to do with taste, preference, flavor, amount of smoke, speed of coil firing, or any other factor... only battery life...
Is battery life longer or shorter with a lower ohm coil?

If you are referring to the amount of time before changing out the battery due to the vape tapering off then as a quick rule, shorter given the same battery, mod, and atty the lower in ohm you go.
If you are referring to the battery overall lifespan it would depend on the battery being used and the ohm of the coil.
If you don't push a quality battery over 75% of its rating all the time, the overall lifespan won't be significantly decreased.

My low ohm coils use my battery faster yes this depends on the battery too. Quality comes along way. Having said that I carry around 3 batteries 18650 24amp CDR 1600mah and I chain vape heavy and use maybe 2 a day sometimes 3 if with friends.

Ok... so to make sure I understand this correctly,
A battery firing a 1.8 ohm coil will need recharging SOONER than a battery firing a 2.8 coil.
A battery firing a .5 ohm coil will need recharging SOONER than a battery firing a 1.8 coil.
So the lower the ohms a given battery is firing, the SHORTER the battery life and the SOONER it will need recharging.
Is that correct?
As for the 75%... do you mean charging capacity? Oh boy.. another thing I know nothing about! LOL!
Ok, so if say a battery COULD be charged to say 4.5 volts, it SHOULD be charged to only 3.4 volts? That doesn't sound right... or are 3.7 volt 18650 batteries capable of charging up to 5 volts, at which point 3.75 is 75%, and they should not be charged beyond 3.75 volts?? Or are 3.7 volts capable of charging up to 6 volts, so 75% is 4 volts? That doesn't seem to work, since my charger always does 4.2 volts... am I overcharging my batteries at 4.2 volts?
It means you do not push it past 75% of it's rating, So you do not make a coil that pulls 8A from a 10A rated battery.
With a mechanical mod, you can tell when to recharge it because the vape gets weaker and in any case you do not really want to go much below a reading of about 3.5v of life left in it.

OK!!! Thanks for that clarification
!!! So the max you should pull from a 10a battery at a time is 7.5a... which translates to... what ohm?
