I don't think you will be blowing clouds with a pro tank or any traditional bcc. to blow clouds it's a combination of high VG, low resistance, big air inlet holes and battery discharge rate.

if you want to blow clouds, you will want a dripper or genesis style atty. not that it can't be done, anything can be done, but this is the easiest way to blow clouds. I'm sure others will have their own recipe for blowing clouds.

Thank you very much for the tip on the clouds..now all I need is help with mechanical mods and I'll be set. Cheers

never used that mod but for me the important thing is a mech mod needs to calll out to you "use me ! " lol. minus a few different features like floating pins or contacts a mech mod is as basic and standard as they come. they have a firing button of some type and a 3.7 v battery. my opinon only and i know alot of guys and gals out there swear their 300 dollar mech mod blows my cheap magneto out of the water. but it doesnt. where mech mods become fun is collecting ones you like be it 200 dollars or 45. then the builds you do. going through all the frustrations of learning to wrap coils then you learn you are making it way harder than it is and next thing you know you are building little coil cities on your rba ha. for me I like a magnetic switch. thats why i used the magneto in the example. it sits by the couch for when i really just want to enjoy my vape. but then i have a 35 dollar m16 clone i use for work because its solid . Im an underground utility driller and I'd hate to destroy a nice piece so i use that at work. no difference to me in the vape its my build that determines my "clouds" .8 in rba 1.5 in kayfun ...... my 2 cents

and those ohms are by no means what you should build. thats just what i like on any average day . i can just grab one and go and ill like it. cloud chasers go for like .5/.3 ohms and its super fun but nothing practical about it for me. i can get sweet clouds even and 1.5---- 2.0 ohms and great flavor . more than i ever did on cigarettes. but .8 just seems like my personal sweet spot

or for being new or just plain ol safety build 1.5-2.5 ohm coils and throw a kick in it and adjust your wattage from there and slowly start dabbling in the lower ohms once you have learned and understood safe sub ohm vaping. I build all my wifes coils like that. 2.0 ohms and she plays with her wattage on her kick and everything is safe and fine . if you get rba's an ohm meter is a must also

Drippers are where I began in my cloud chasing frenzy. You could buy an IGO L or W and learn how to rebuild, it's a very satisfying hobby of mine. With that you'd want an ohm meter and quality batteries. The meter is only necessary for rebuilding if you use protanks or other clearo's than you really don't need one. The batteries on the other hand are a 100% necessity for a mechanical mod. When you upgrade from an evod or ego types battery, or change from vv/vw devices you need to seriously invest in quality batteries. With a mechanical mod there is no short protection or safety feature built in like other devices. This makes your power source (battery) you "weakest link". It will be the first thing to fail if something goes wrong, and trust me you dont want to it to fail. It's a simple thing to make sure of and doesn't cost much. Look at brands like Efest or AW these are IMR batteries. I use a sony vtc4 in my mechanical mods, a hybrid battery. Anyways my 2cents Good luck and btw sharp looking mod.

Stay clear of the Tesla mod, battery vents through to the top!
Also, that adjustable ring looking collar on the top is only for looks, doesn't function at all.
