Arch, Tinkie, and Pinky I totally agree with this as well, I think what will be the big difference soon will be form, function, asthetics, style, etc. as the new breed of regulated mod is quickly closing the performance gap.
Some good points, but there were ohm cut off limits. In reality people weren't able to vape like this on regulated mods. They had a low ohm cut off point of 1.2-1.3 ohms so wouldn't fire at those resistances. The Vamo 2 is a good example - 1.2 ohm cut off which in real terms would kick in at 1.3 ohms on devices. Zmax was another.
That is changing and now there are mods that can go lower. The one other thing I'd say is that I haven't seen "many users disappointed" with DNA 30 mods. At this point I think the number of users isn't as big yet as it will be, and those I've read reports from seem pretty happy overall. I think you make some good points, and I don't really care whether people vape mechanical or regulated - I see no need for a versus - seems a bit pointless to me since its dependent on vaping preferences and both are good.

Since these DNA 30 clones are coming out, I'm hesitant to make the jump to mech mods till more of these come out...although i'm looking at a turtleship v2 clone that's very tempting on eBay.
You can change the resistance on your atty to get the same effect on a mech. People prefer mechs for many reasons. They're unregulated, so there's no amperage limitations. They're more durable. They're better looking. There's more variety. There's no circuitry. Energy transfer from battery to atty is more efficient, which gives a better hit.
The downside is voltage drop. As the battery's energy dissipates, the quality of the vape does as well. A day in the life of a mech user requires several battery's.
Was never intended to be a "vs." statement at all. I have several regulated mod and several mech mods as well. Love them all, just use them differently that's all. I personally think everyone should have both in their arsenal but that's just me, I'd have a really hard time if someone said I had to make a decision to go one way or the other.
My point about the 30w devices was not that everyone was disappointed by them, it just seems that there are a fair number of folks that expected them to perform differently than they do. When you think about it, if you are running a 1.3ohm topper which will fire on any device something like a Vamo or MVP 2 ($40) can give you 27.69w. An authentic Hana will cost you $250+ and only gives you 2.3 addital watts max. Some have been disappointed in that, I think they didn't do the math before they bought one and expected a completely different experience. That's all I meant.
Tell that to my 2 years old svoemestos/kayfuns with Nivels!
Not a hiccup.
When the coils get cruddy,I just hop the wattage .2 or .4 and voila,back to vaping bliss.
I support the VV/VW afficionados,I dont see why mechs are still popular.
Measuring coils ohms....bwahahahahaha...stone age stuff.
Why would someone prefer a mech over a VV\VW?. Seems to me being able to vary the voltage and\or wattage would be the better route to go.
Please explain the pros and cons to a noob. Thanks.
I have this picture of someone walking their dog, carrying a laptop bag with a wire hanging out, which they are vaping on. Lol now that's a battery!
For me, I want to build my own coils, rather than buy them at $3-5 each
Just correcting the above assumption..
RDA -rebuildable dripping atomizer and RBA - rebuildable bottom-feeding atomizer.
I haven't bought an atty or cart in over a year.
Still using (the same) box-mod mech with a 6ml juice bottle after 3 years.
Vamo gets very little use.
Umm wow. No. Vamo's and MVP's can't push 27.69 watts.
I just discovered there are kick adapters that you can screw onto the top of your mech and drop the kick in there!!

So what's a duke clone.
google doesnt know.
gossmods doesn't say
