If a mod has any kind of safety, it's not a truly a mech. A mech is a battery, a coil, and a switch. That is all. The power is derived by calculating the voltage (known from the battery... generally between 3.2 volts and 4.2 volts, not accounting for voltage drop across the mod/switch/atty). A mod with some sort of safety is considered unregulated. The new Fush is an unregulated (although some will call them semi-mech or half mechs).
The current limitation comes from the battery's rating. A Samsung 25R has a Continuous Drain Rating (CDR) or 20 Amps, an LG HG2 has a CDR of 20A, a Samsung 20S has a CDR of 30A, a Sony VTC5A has a CDR of 25A, and so on. Search for Battery Mooch here on ECF or on Facebook. He routinely tests batteries and produces charts showing recommended batteries and their CDR. The age of the battery in use can also play a factor because as a battery gets older, the CDR is reduced.
There are many mech mods with 510 connectors. A fine example is the Broadside. Another example is the Nato. Most older (as in 2014 vintage) mech mods came with 510 connectors. The "hybrid" top cap craze did not start until later on. Using a mod with a 510 does not mean that is is safer than a mod with a "hybrid" topcap. It only means that the center (pos) pin on the atty need not protrude as far as it is making contact with the 510 connector's center pin rather than the battery's positive terminal. Using a drop in coil tank on any mech can be dangerous as, without first testing every coil, there's no way of knowing if the coil is in good working order. It is generally preferable, then, to use a RBA/RDA/RTA/RDTA on a mech mod as it should have been tested on a deck or regulated mod to ensure that the resistance was in the correct range for the battery used in the mech, and that no shorts were present.
There are also fuses and regulators (kicks) and safety toppers that can be attached or installed into mech mods to make them something else. I used to have a Dovpo Vape Safe attachment that would display battery voltage when no atty was attached, and would display voltage again when an atomizer was attached, and would limit the vaping time and the resistance used by shutting down the device when the button was held too long or the resistance was too low... kind of like training wheels for mechs. The Dovpo model is long gone, but I saw a new version the other day on FastTech.
I'm sure there are others that can add to this line of thought...
ETA: I freely admit to not having memorized Ohm's Law. But I have a handy dandy calculator on my Android that I use religiously when building or installing prebuilt coils. For simple round wire builds, MicroCoil Pro (Swiss) is very simple to use and easy to understand. For more complex builds, VapeTool Pro is indispensible.
