New Mechanical Mod advice

[Stosh]

If there's any chance any mod may fire in your pocket for any reason, best thing to do is unscrew your topper a couple turns. If the tank or whatever you use can't complete the circuit, it gives you another layer of safety. You're screwing with the locking ring each time you put it in your pocket anyway, one extra unscrew is easy.

I'm looking at the ipv2 now. It looks like it would meet all of my needs. Anybody have any experience with carrying it in your pocket? I'm not sure just from looking at the dimensions how well it'd fit.

I just got an Infinite stingray and am very happy with it as my first tube mech.

Look at the Kato box clone mech mod. It has a top firing button with a locking ring.

KATO SQUARE BOX MOD CLONE REVIEW

 

[eyerhere]

Long story short I was a closet smoker and my wife didn't know. I quit smoking and started vapeing instead. She knows about it but doesn't like it. Any time I spend much money on it, it turns into an argument. I'd just assume avoid the conflict and pick up something less than $100 lol

Just find out what she likes to spend money on. Shoes, purses, kitchen gadgets everybodys got some soft spot. Bet its more than you spend on vape gear. Then the plying field will be level and you will be able to get the mod dreams are made of.

Would the kato have issues with different attys fitting?

 

[ashron64]

Right now I'm torn between the silver bullet and the ipv2...Anybody want to weigh in with their opinion between the two?

 

[ashron64]

Seems like the ipv2 would give me more flexibility but not be as portable...and more complicated so more to go wrong...anyone own one or both that can give me some insight? Or give me another option to make it harder to decide lol?

You can look at blem REO Mods. I know some of them go for as little as $115 and I usually have one in my pocket every time in leave my house and have zero problems with them.

Ok thanks ill check it out. Nobody want to chime in on silver bullet vs. Ipv2?

 

[Collinb1234]

Ive never had an experience with either one but my next mod will definitely be a ipv2. I perfer the simple look, and going up to 50 watts and can sub ohm with it down to .2 ohms, I cant wait to buy.

 

[ashron64]

Yeah right now im kinda leaning toward the ipv2. I have a vamo but i hate that i cant build what i want on it.

 

[Mrbeckett81]

My roommate just got an ipv2 and lives it for the Nautilus Mini and his Tugboat rda. Carries it in his pocket with no problems. He disabled the touch button on top tho. Apparently if you get juice on it the mod will fire. Other than that it's been awesome. I can't wait to get one now.

Im thinking thats the direction i will go, with the ipv2. Its small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket? Does it work well with drippers as well as rtas? Currently running a taifun gt.

 

[ronnbert]

Some of my co-workers have the IPV 2 and they are pretty small! Slightly longer than a credit card from what I can remember and not too thick. Pretty light without the battery, but the pocket presense doesn't seem awefully bad. Shorter than an 18650 mech I would say, and pretty neat little units. One of my co-workers run drippers as well as his kayfun, so it should handle your rba.

Roxynoodle-welcome to the stingray club! I have a black clone and love it!

 

[ashron64]

Looks like i have several votes for the ipv2. Any disadvantages of a regulated device compared to a mech other than the potential for eventual elecronics failures?

 

[ronnbert]

Well, one drawback is even though someone stated the cutoff is .2 ohms, 50 watts will approximately max out on a .353 ohm build (49.97 watts to be precise). My .202 ohm coil on a fresh battery (ignoring voltage drop, thats a whole other topic) should theoretically be at 87.33 watts (or it could have been 83.7 watts, its 3:40 am here and switching between tapatalk and vapors toolbox) so that is an extra 30 watts.

Is it a necessity? Probably not, even on a halfway dead battery (so not even the full 80 something watts) it is reallllly warm, and 2 second hits max, even though on my .317 ohm build I could do 8-10 second draws.

Once I have a fresh brain tomorrow I will give a little more feedback on weak spots on mechs vs. regulated devices, but I am gonna catch some zzzs for now. Also, I downloaded this chart on my phone and use it frequently, so feel free to do the same!

I really don't see any way that the Nemesis could misfire with the lockring in the locked position if the switch and top cap are assembled correctly.

 

[Midniteoyl]

I'm sure Baditude will be back to answer, but it appears that the switch button is recessed enough to prevent accidental firing unless you have something in your pocket that's shaped just right.

I wish I could retrofit my 2013 Ram 1500 remote. They put wings on the buttons so that you have tactile feel in the dark. I put it in my jeans pocket with my keys and walk around in a store sometimes. When I come out to get in the truck, it's already unlocked. Design is everything. The really down side is that it also doubles as the key, so aftermarket isn't an option.

Sure you dont have a Passive Lock option? My 2013 Journey will unlock if I touch the handle and have the key in my pocket.

At first I thought you were referring to a lock on a mod, I was like: what's a passive lock? I want one! I guess "shiny-itis" got me thinking before I read it all. I will take that as a sign to get some sleep.
