A Dimitri is a nice parallel box. If I were into serious cloud, I'd want one with a PEEK insulator rather than Delrin as PEEK will withstand higher temps, but that's a minor quibble. The reason you see cloud competitors use mechs is because mechs are required in competition. (I always thought they did that to stop some n00b from showing up with a DNA200 and blowing their doors off, but that's just a guess.) However, if you are not going to enter any competitions, you just want it for casual vaping, a regulated is definitely the way to go. It's just way more powerful than anything you can get with a mech short of 5 or 6 batteries. The cloud those guys get is because they build better coils than you, not because they have a more powerful mod. Also, because they are power limited on a mech, and are using massive coils, they get huge ramp time (the time it takes for the coil to get hot enough to make vapor). That's why you see them push the button, wait a while, then exhale into the drip tip before drawing. No sense holding you lungs empty for 2-3 seconds while you wait for the coils to get hot, and blowing vapor out the air holes tells you it's ready. What makes vapor is power pumped out from the coil surface (mW/mm^2) in contact with wet wick. Savvy Steam Engine? If not, go and look, then learn how to use the "heat flux" figures in the right-hand "results" box on the coil wrapping page. What you want is a lot of surface area-- that's why those dudes use Claptons and Aliens and pay out the Wazoo for Twisted Messes coils-- and then pump some watts through it. You can buy an RX200 from VapeNW for 10 bucks less than a Dimitri, too. Bear in mind, a .15 coil-- your lower limit-- is dangerous on a mech, and not too efficient. They waste a lot of power. Once you get below about .25 on a mech-- never try that on one battery, it'll blow; you need at least 2 to get under .4 or so-- voltage drop rears it's ugly head and you start to waste power instead of use it.
Lot of good tips there, thanks. I did have steam engine til my computer crapped out on me.. That Rx200 takes 3 batts? holy cow that things fat lol i just looked it up, its only $60 from most places i'm seeing, the dimitri is $160 from where i found it... but yea, i mean i never really wanted to dive into unregulated mods, just thought hey maybe i'll go into a comp one day. but ehh..

Best is a subjective term.
Your idea of "best" may not be mine.

That said, there are so many devices out there and so many ways to vape it's impossible to pick one for everyone.

thats exactly what i said.. lol my question was, usually there is a lot of hype over a certain mod compared to others. just wondering what was going around.

VapeNW has the RX200 for $39.99. If you get the LG HG2 batteries for it-- @3000mAh-- it'll last forever on a charge. And, being a three battery mod, it will actually make 200 watts RMS and hold it, unlike the 2-battery "200s" you see, all of which pulse the power above 150 to not blow up the batteries. Go and look at the photo of the regulateds I posted above. The RX is "fat," yes. But it's also shorter and thinner than most 2 battery mods, and even some 1 battery mods; two of the ones in the photo-- the SX Mini and the Treebox-- are 1 battery. The RX is also very ergonomic and fits the hand beautifully. Save the mech for when you're ready to do comp :)

well, after sitting here all day researching and pondering over countless mods lol i think i'm gonna take your advice on the Rx200, seems like a great one compared to others at double to triple the price! Now, i need a new rda!! gettting bored with the 3 i have lol Mini Freak,Velocity,Mutation V4. Any ideas on an rda that can hold its own against that line up?

i was gonna get the Sapor awhile back, but went with the Mutation instead, deff gonna add the Sapor to my collection tho. Heard good things about the Doge V2 also? I love the mutation, and everyone says its awesome for O's and tricks, but the vapor swirling kills any O i try, i can blow o's all day from my freak or velocity, but the MX4 swirls to much in my opinion.

Might be some help... If you can scrap together about 13 bucks Dillards and JC penny stock shiseido cotton for ten ish bucks.

Sally's Beauty supply stocks 500 foot boxes of rayon for about the same.
