Newbie Question

[englishmick]

I've been stocking up for whatever regulation blitz comes down. I have several regulated mods at the moment and enough nic to last the rest of my life and a box full of tanks, but I have a feeling the regulated mods might be the weak link in my plan. Love them but if they stop working there aren't many user serviceable parts in there. You can't fix a broken chip or a gravity sensor.

I've been thinking maybe I should get some mech mods.

What I'm looking for is a mod that's simple and easy to work on. Something that might last for a long time. Right now I make my own juice and use Kanger tanks and a Lemo. The Lemo is pretty flexible. The Kangers don't work too well at over 4 volts with the juice I make. Can I make the Kangers work with a mech mod? And what the ### is a kicker?

So I came here to ask the experts. Anyone got any thoughts on a good mod for my needs? Something where I could get a couple of mods and some spare power buttons and whatever else tends to fail on them. I don't need lots of power, just reliability and ease of maintenance.

thanks for any help you can give me.

There nothing to fail on a mechanical mod.. I guess you could drop it and strip the 510, but barring that they can last indefinitely.
A kick is a device that allows you to regulate voltage or wattage similar to a regulated device.
I would suggest a stainless steel mod if you are really
Looking for durability or at least a mod with a stainless steel 510 connection.
Spring buttons are easier to repair than magnets, as finding the exact size magnets could prove difficult, and you can get springs from a hardware store or make them from copper wire.

The only thing I can offer is that with the Lemo, the 510 pin spins easy on mine. I wouldn't get mech using a hybrid connector. You can cause a short if the 510 pin on the lemo isn't protruding far enough.

Since "clones" are cheap you can get few of them to meet your vaping style.

Something else to consider- the Lemo is a 23mm tank and, IMO, looks goofy on 22mm mods... if that kind of thing is important to you.

I have both and really like them. Bought them partially for the same reasons as you.

Great suggestions. Super T mods are built to last a lifetime... and these are the very last ones. My non-telescoping Workhorse was my first mech and it remains in my daily rotation. Thing is bomb-proof.
