NO WIRES OR SOLDER!!!!!!

There are many more, but I digress. I ONLY buy mechanical moda: ease of use and maintenance. I do not like the idea of many wires and parts that can be ruined by moisture. As a tattooist, I have to live with wires and capacitors that will constantly cause problems in the middle of a session, so I choose to keep my other hobbies as analog as possible (yes I see the irony).

basically you can narrow down most problems with mechanical mod with a good cleaning.

Thanks for clearing that up! Didn't know tattooists had the same problems!

Where can I get my hands on a hybrid mod that doesn't have a really long wait?

Here is another great choice for a great mechanical MOD, with a 5 year warranty and a lifetime on the switch. The switch is a touch sensor. It is well designed with a lot of great safety features. It is made to order and you can have it in any colour or design. Comes basic 3.7/ 6 volt. 5 volt , mini, midi, and their version of the Vari volt which does not have LED etc. I love mine, its solid. I have the Kicked version which I cant see myself ever being without.

How do y'all handle having no low battery cutoff with mechanical s? Just rely on judging diminishing vape to know when to recharge?

Well, getting your MOD kicked really helps, now you will have a bit short battery life, but you will have constant power till the battery just sort of gives you a couple short bursts and done. I love using a Kick. You choose the wattage and all the things you use( atties, carto etc) will all perform equally no matter what om.

I have a Smoktech mechanical (fully) mod that is called the telescope.
There are NO wires, no circuit boards...no electrical anything other
than the power supplied by the battery that you insert into it. It is
activated by pushing a button which will complete the connection to
the battery (the other part is at the top of the mod). With this type
mod, you can use an array of batteries ....right now I"m using a 18350
but usually use a 18650. There are several other sizes that will fit
because the tube of the mod "telescopes" into itself to accommodate
several sizes and types (flat top, button top, li-ion, li-po, li-mn)

They are all metal...and can be a bit heavy....but they don't have
easily breakable parts. The ST Telescope has a wheel that can be
screwed down to prevent accidental firing. The big advantage is that there are no wires or circuitry to go haywire. No LEDs, no little lights...it's just a basic, functional, solid mod. Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Telescope They are also at Hoosier's e-cig Supply and Madvapes.

Does the top cap unscrew?

There are thick wires in the top cap that go from the pin to the top post i was told.
