when most people get a mech mod its for sub ohm builds (1.0ohm and under) and being how a mech works you need a vary good battery to run it to reduce the risk of something bad happening most people who use mechs use sony vtc3/ vtc4/ vtc5 witch are 30amp batterys the purple efest 2500mah witch say are 35amp are not they are actualy 20amp witch you will see alote of people don't recommend I myself use them. as long as you no your builds and are carefull. mechs can bring a whole new level of vapeing. id advise looking up battery safety ohms law and everything that goes with it and im shure someone will post the links.
edit: also depending on the mech if it has a hybrid adapter make shure the rda/rba/rdta or what use using has a center pin that sticks out past the threads as if it is even with the threads you can cause a short and you really don't wanna do that.

Heh.. you need to do some research before you get into mech... but a mech is an empty metal tube. It does not come with a battery, charger or (in most cases) an atomizer.
Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!
If you are looking to get into mech mods and rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.
Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding mods and rebuildables are listed below:
BATTERIES
9. Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
* Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
17. Purple Efest Batteries Not As Advertised
* A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.
OHM'S LAW
14. Ohm's Law for Dummies (Vapers)
* My attempt at explaining Ohm's Law in layman terms and how it relates to vaping.
16. Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations
* As simple as it is to use, some people have a tough time grasping the concept. Warning: Includes graphic photos of mod explosions.
MECHANICAL MODS & REBUILDABLES
7. Information Resources for Your First RBA
* An essential read and reference guide for someone new to rebuilding coils. Includes a multitude of useful links on battery safety, mod safety, coil meters, coil building, and the differences in the three types of RBA's.
15. Inexpensive Mechanical Mod and RDA Setup
* A response to the frequently asked question on how to get into rebuildable atomizers with a mechanical mod inexpensively. Includes a list of commonly used tools and supplies for rebuilding and where to find them.
BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY
Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.
* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

Welcome to the forum. Mechs are like a component system. The battery tube, battery, charger, tank/RBA...all separate pieces. They can give a great vape but you do need to do your homework. I use the red Efest batteries that are only rated at 10 amps but my builds are never below 0.5 ohm. So I really never need 10 amps. My most demanding build pulls 8.4 amps which doesn't really stress the battery. I'm usually running less that 7 amps on most builds.
