Hi, so I've been doing a lot of research about vaping and mods and whatnot. Recently read about how mechanical mods are really what people are using nowadays? I have a ego c 650 MAH and waiting for a VAMO in the mail. So, what I'm trying to achieve really is, making CLOUDS of vape. I understand that mechanical mods and RBAs is where to go for that? I also have read that the China GG is really a great mod for the price. Any suggestions or recommendations? And Hoosiervapes seems to be sold out, any other places to purchase the China GG? Thanks a lot everyone.

The only great things I can find about mechanical mods are the durability factor and smaller size. Other than that why wouldn't anyone want VV/VW? Mechanical mods lose power as the battery drains and that is just unsatisfactory for many people including myself. I would go with something with VV , VW or both if I were you. As you start building your own coils you will have a way easier time of it if you can adjust your power output to match different variances of ohms you are sure to get in your coils. I just cannot figure out what all the fuss is over mechanicals.
The popularity of mechanical mods is that they can power self-built coils of less than 1.o ohm. I'm not clear myself why this is so special, but I use an RBA on a variable voltage mod, a Provari. The reason that the VV mods can't effectively power a coil of less than 1.0 ohm is for built-in safety reasons by the processors they use. A VV mod will refuse to power a coil of less than 1.0 ohm. I am using a 2.0 ohm coil I built (I prefer the higher ohm rating because I like a cooler, smoother vape), which can be used effectively on both my Provari and my mechanical Silver Bullet mod.
Most experienced vapors using RBA's recommend using a multimeter to test for the ohm rating of your coils. I bought a $30 multimeter specifically to aid me to build my first coil. What I didn't realize was my Provari can read the ohm with its built-in ohm meter, and can find shorts that I am unable to see by giving me an error code on the LED screen. Also, a variable voltage mod can oxidize the coil before use by doing incremental pulses of power that you can't do with a strictly-mechanical mod. I have yet to even open the box on my multimeter.
I set my AGA up to vape equally well on both the Silver Bullet and the Provari. The vaping experience is far superior on the Provari.

On that note, see this thread where someone fried his battery by using a coil that was too low and not using it properly, on a mechanical mod (and Rolygate's response with an explanation):

Although, I did see on last week's VapeTeam broadcast during a how to build an RBA segment, one of their panel was using a mechanical mod to pulse the coil successfully.

But either way, decide what features you like the best. This is one of the cool things about vaping, there are a lot of different types of devices for different types of folks. Some people prefer to stay on eGo-styles, some prefer mechanical mods, and some prefer APV's w/electronics (especially bells & whistles). Each will defend their choice vigorously. Do your research, and find what keeps you satisfied.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to do more research lol. Thanks a lot. But say I stay with VV/ VW mods, what rba would you suggest to get the most vape? I personally like to have a lot of smoke/ vape lol
