I was wondering, did most of you more experienced vapers move on to mech mods and/or dripping? I see posts throughout ECF talking about how much better the flavor of a juice is in a drip atty, is it really? Threads I read about mech mods make them seem a little intimidating (kicks, switches, etc.) and I can't seem to find any info about just plain old starting out with a mech mod and I don't have enough knowledge about them to ask questions in the mech mod forums. Are there mech mods that you can just use a tank with such as a PT, Davide, etc. or is that defeating the purpose of a mech? Do I even need one to give dripping a try? I'm mainly interested in a mech because of the longer use time they have between charging/ changing batteries and not having to replace the whole thing if the battery goes bad. I currently have a couple of iTaste vv v3s, are there simple to use/clean drip attys that will work with them?
Any info is much appreciated!
If you really want to try dripping, but don't want to invest into a device, just buy a 357 drip atty. It's a device that Phill
B. uses to test his liquids on his reviews. Just go to you tube and check out any of his latter juice reviews and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's worth the try and they can be used on any 510 device. As far as dripping rebuildable atty's, you can use them on any device as long as you stay above 1.3-1.5 ohms on the build coils. I use a IGO-W on my Vamo (set at 10-13 watts) all the time, with a 1.3 ohm dual coil set up, and have a great vape experience.
I do have three mechs, though, and this is where RDA's really shine; think of GREAT to OH MY FREAKING GOSH!!!!! There are a lot of variables in RDA's that can affect your vape experience; including coil build, wicking material, air flow, load drop, etc...... And they can be
down right dangerous if you don't pay attention to THE LAW,
ohm's law of course! I suggest that you try the 357 (low resistance 1.5 or normal 2.0 (ish) ohm rating) or similar atty, do A LOT of research, ask A LOT of questions even in the "expert" threads (that's where you REALLY start to learn, and MOST are really excited to help you), and check out Baditude's blogs on device descriptions and batteries before you make major decisions on whether to start down this road.
My personal experience with mechs and RDA's has been "vape life" changing, as most Drippers will probably agree with. And,
YES, you can still use other devices on a mech. I use an Aspire DCBCC (Dual Coil Bottom Coil Clearo) Vivi Nova tank on my mech all the time. The original coil head was a 1.5-1.8 ohm factory build. I rebuilt it after burning it out (took a month!) and didn't put enough wraps on the coils (used 10 wraps (touching or contact coils) of 30g Kanthal on each of the two coils around 2mm silica). It checks out at .8 ohms now and I can't use it on my Vamo. The Vamo doesn't go below 1.3 ohms. So, I still plop it on my mech and take it out when it's not convenient to drip (ie: driving, shopping, long trips, etc... you get the point). It doesn't provide the airflow, volume, or flavor that my drippers do, but still a GREAT vape!
Hope some of this helps, and never be afraid to ask questions! The "experts" were ALL there once too! They learned by asking questions, gaining experience (by DOING: the good and the bad!), and research. Vaping has so many avenues to try and experience; it's all subjective, and IT'S YOUR JOURNEY. Don't be dissuaded by the occasional aloft elitist. Live long and VAPE ON!
I have really been liking it with my igo-L. Lot of mixed feelings about that one but I enjoy sitting at night on ecf with my little dripper. I think the flavors are great in it. I may change my mind if I ever get my January 8th order from FT. Got a Eternity coming and looking forward to trying it. The video's look so easy. I love "easy".
