Mech Mods and neww vapers?

[DaveP]

Won't be the best vape for anyone? That's a rather blanket statement to make. Perhaps you meant, won't be the best vape for everyone? (but may be for some).

In the real world, safety critical features/devices are usually recommended to be tested/inspected/replaced at regular intervals (e.g., fire alarms, smoke detectors, CO detectors, safety harnesses, pressure relief valves, GFCIs, and so on).

So, I have to ask, in all honesty, do you regularly (or ever) test the safety features of your mods? Do you regularly test reverse polarity protection? Atomizer short protection? 10-second cutoff? Low voltage? Low ohm cutoff?

Mech mods aren't for beginners. I see that all too often in this forum. In experienced hands, mechs are fine, although the limitations of a waning vape as the battery voltage drops is a negative. Most new users don't realize how much instantaneous power is available from a lithium cell when a short circuit occurs. Installing a shorted coil on a mech is a danger that is handled without incident on an electronic mod. Sure, there can be failures in electronics, but a dead short on a mech is always a danger.
