[QUOTE="qorax, post: 21756931, member: 124295"] (1) Mech mods are as safe as the user wants them to be. If we know our Ohms law, if we know about battery safety, if we keep them switched off when not in use, if we don't use counterfeits (device as well as the battery) and if we handle them with care ~ there is nothing to worry about. I have been using mechs from the beginning of my journey - and continue to do so till date, I have no issues with them - as well as no fear. (2) No, the Colibri Stone does not have 5 clicks On / Off. I wish it had. However, just unthread the bottom base plate by 1 turn and you disconnect the circuit. (3, 4) Yes, it has a time-out feature. But not 10-secs, quite a bit more. However, good enough to protect against thermal runaway situations. (5) Yes, those are all the safety features. Remember, it is not a regulated device (tho they make one with DNA-60 / 75 too) and the intention was to make a slightly safe but extremely compact mod, which is also a great looker.
