A mech mod doesn't really have any electrical parts. They are pretty much just a metal tube. Stainless steel can last foreva. The important parts are the batteries and toppers used with it.

I think you mean 'electronic'.
An on/off mechanical button is an electrical part.

There is a lot more than that. The types of pins used how solid the tube is, the quality of the grade ofmetal used for the tube, and the quality of machining all can determine the amount of voltage drop you get, and yes that does affect the vape and battery life, trumendously.

What pins are these that you are talking about?
And somebody said something about "all the 510 pins" ; what is that about?

There's the centre pin positive contact inside the 510 threadwell; what other pins are there?

I understand that. I am talking about reliability and life span. I don't want to get one and it last a week

spend the money and buy a Reo I have abuse tested mine to the max and can assure you it will last most any abuses thrown at it

One of the key things a user looks for in a mech mod is solid mechanical contacts; for example you could have 2 thin wiredconnecting the on/off button; a short on your mod might fry those wires, and it's something the user does not want; you want actual solid metal sometimes, and not thin wires or soldered joints.
Another thing people look for is solid contruction; a mech is just a battery tube; You can get a cheap mech made of plastic I suppose, but I've never seen any.

Actually, making a mech out of mostly plastic rubberized material for most of the body might turn out to have some advantages now that I think about it.... I could see that happening... metal at the top; metal at the bottom, but the tube part could be made of thick stiff impact resistant rubber/plastic material.

I agree with what you are saying. Quality is a deciding factor on what to buy, but I think you are misunderstanding the question I was answering and my answer. The question was basically, which mech is best for dripping. My answer is that there isn't anything that makes one mech better for a particular purpose. You can't really say that a particular mech is best for dripping while a different one is better for tanks, or cartos, or clearos. They are either good or they are not, the purpose isn't a variable.

Nice hit and run, with no real debate or discussion added. There is NOTHING that makes one mech better for dripping vs any other purpose. You do not need a certain mech to drip and a different one for a different purpose. Functionally they are all the same.

Agree.
The only thing that counts in the function of a mech mod:
Voltage drop.

Everything else is user preference.

Oh; yeah,
He did say for dripping; that's right I did misunderstand.

To OP, yes you should go for the vela you have right there, unless it says it's a stationary 510 pin, because at that point you'll either struggle to make contact, or you'll have a big ugly old gap between your dripper and your mod, which is potentially one of the most obnoxious things I can think of at the moment.
