Mech Mod for lazy idiots?

[dj-method-x]

Sup guys. New vapor here.

I went from smoking cigars to smoking hookahs, to discover e-hookah disposables, to eventually buying my own ego-c with a ce4. Pretty simple setup. I'm hooked to vaping now. I want something a little prettier but the mech mods are a little intimidating. I like the simplee idea of the rebuildable clearomizers like the mini nova where if I need to replace my wicks or something I can just buy a new head, screw it on, and be done with it. I don't really want to mess with using multimeters, adding coils and such just to get my vape on. Is there a easy solution for me or should I stick with the easy ego type batteries where it's a lot more plug and play?

Really depends what you like. If you're not into tinkering abit I guess you should avoid the RBAs. There are options tho like the Kanger Protank where you can buy ready made atomizers but where you also have the option to recoil them yourself if you feel like.

Hi welcome. You could get a mech mod for the battery compartment that has a 510 connection. You can keep whatever tank system you want to use and not have to rebuild atomizers until the time comes. I've been thinking about doing the same which is why I mentioned it. A cool looking thing that gives me access to higher capacity batteries but keep the juice system simple.

I don't think you want a mech mod then. The whole idea of a mechanical mod is to tinker with them. You should probably consider a VV/VW mod.

For about $100 you can get a regulated mod, mechanical mod Kanger Protank, batteries, charger, rebuildable dripping atty, wick and wire. I think you should be able to figure out what you're preferred vape setup is from there.

You can put whatever you like on a mech. I like RBA/RDA's at about 1 ohm so it is a little to low for most VV/VW to fire so I use mech's. That being said I also use carto's and tanks on them as well and it works fine. Look around the site and you will see a lot of options about what is the "best" mech out there but now there are a ton for very affordable prices. I myself really like the K100 and own a couple of them, not a bad place to start.

I have the feeling you may be confusing mech mods with RBAs. Mechs are the battery, RBAs are the toppers, i.e. the things you screw onto the battery. The mod itself doesnt need tinkering or building to work. The RBA does. They are often used together, but they dont have to be.

I think the best for you would be eVic by Joyetech with ECA Type A atomizer (the long one). Just see here: Joyetech eVic starter Kits, Vapor Intelligent Cigarette.

If you really want a mech mod for looks but don't want to tinker and such you would need an evolv kick or crown 2 to put into your mech to make it more user friendly for general vaping. Otherwise an apv would probably be a better choice. A stainless steel vamo or SVD are nice looking devices depending on personal taste.

Is this correct?

A mechanical mod that doesn't have any wires or solder where you just drop a battery in vape away requires tinkering.

An APV which requires setting voltage and/or ohms with fiddly little buttons and screens doesn't require tinkering.

Sounds a little backwards to me

A mech is easy if you just want to drop in a battery and vape idea. Basically you will be using lr clearos and the volts will start high and lower as the battery drains. Not really a consistent vaping experience, I don't mind it but a vv/vw apv would give a more consistent vape. If you are just going to use the same clearos with the same resistance you can just set the apv for your preferred setting and it will keep vaping at that power level without the drop a mech and battery will give. Or you can get a drop in vw module to make a mech vape like an apv.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

Not really. Adjustments are necesary no matter what device you use. With an APV you have a ready made interface to help you adjust what you want. With a mech you have to figure out what modification creates what change, and then have to manually do it.

Example: increase voltage. With an APV its one click of a button. With a mech, that involves sanding, filing, sometimes replacing springs, posts, even an entire button assembly like a Sig19. And when you have minimized voltage drop as much as you can, you have to "shift the curve" and go adjust coils to achive the same power output increase.

Some of this can be achieved by using a Kick type device, but that isnt an assumed part of a mech. In fact, many including myself dont use it.

Think oil stove and magnetic stove. With the former you can just light it up and have a stove. The latter requires some complicated settings. But adjusting the flame on an oil stove is a nightmare, while magnetic stove just needs a button click. Trust me i had to cook with both as a child.

It's not so much the mech itself but rather the RBAs that are usually paired with them that require fiddling, rebuilding etc.

Whereas with a vivi nova, protank etc. a variable voltage or wattage is better due to the higher resistances of these devices allows you to adjust the vape to taste. Mechs are generally for low resistance vaping where resistance is set by how you build the coil and wick etc.

I think what the OP needs is an APV rather than a true mech that way he can put his vivi nova on there adjust the voltage and hes good to go.

Right now I use a non variable basic ego that I'm happy with. Knowing this, do you guys still think I need a kick if I decide to purchase a mech mod?
