Mechs have an Inherent Simplicity that many find Appealing.

There is also the Satisfaction of building the Coil to match the Hit you want. Verses pushing an Up/Down button.
The "inherent simplicity" that you speak of is simply nowhere to be found after you also factor in the added complexity of advanced coil building specifically for use on a mech, as getting the best flavor and feel of the vape can be a much more complex type of challenging affair if you're on a mech, especially in view of the fact the primary reason why I prefer mechs is... you already guessed it: getting better flavor and feel of the vape. But because this is always going to be a very largely subjective matter, logically you can expect there will always be at least some propagandists who will insist or try to insinuate that this cannot be possible in any way. I used to have pretty much the same skepticism against mechs, admittedly, but I'm a pragmatist so for me the proof is always in the pudding and so I found proof, by searching for it in there as opposed to searching on an internet forum fraught with all sorts of opninionated ramblings from those looking to "help" by merely trying to force their own personal opinions on others thereby causing others to no longer want to post messages on here, which also is visible from the fact not a lot of forum activity goes on in any of the discussion threads that relate to this particular subject in one way versus another. It is actually that sad, really.

The "Inherent Simplicity" I mentioned was related to the Mod.

Coil Building can be as Simple or as Hard as one wants to make it.

don't take the bait, brother. Anyone who read what you wrote knew exactly what you meant.

Thanks Asbestos.

Related to the mod, yes obviously. But not inherently so, as that would be defeating the actual purpose of the mod, i.e. advanced vaping is inherently complex, and the mod is inherently designed for that so, because the design also is part of the mod, as a result it becomes inherently complex as long as you don't fool around by snatching away the main important context.

Let’s be honest if ur getting a mech and a rda odds are u already know how to build but let me say this I know some that use sub ohm tanks on parallel and some tubes not my choice but “safe” if not hybrid

Don't forget those that don't build and buy pre-wrapped coils. There are a lot that do buy them for mechs and never wrapped a coil in their life.

I paid for some 4 core 10 wrap aliens at 5mm dual coils it was for my lips 1st he only wonted 20$ and it was my 1st time on a lipo and did not really know what to go with some see it as time vs cost everyone’s time is worth something

There is no shame in buying coils. Wrapping wire and then making coils isn't for everyone, that is why they sell them.

I got into making my own because I like that kind of thing, and I am a penny pincher.

I did this one in my DR. The stock cap didn't fit over the build but the Challenge Cap did. It was too much for me lol. I could only take a 1.5 second hit. Took it out after a few days. It was fun to try though.

I have the DR with both the Priest cap and the Butcher cap, but personally I would never build it like you did in the picture you posted, as I always position my coils really close to the air holes regardless of the RDA that I put them in, with the Deathtrap RDA being the only exception. The airflow needs to be focused directly onto the coils for me or else I won't vape on it, and, this has always been the case for me for as long as I have been vaping, i.e. since before Morten Oen started to post his videos about that particular subject. Coils positioned directly below the drip tip also doesn't work for me so for example the Reload RDA is a major no no, whereas the new Reload X RDA should work just fine because the latter doesn't shove all the heat straight into your mouth. The reason why the Deathtrap RDA is completely different in this regard is the big airflow slot is blowing the vapor conveniently away from the center before the vapor rises up into your mouth so there's no burning hot spitback and the vape is still cozy warm, but never actually hot. The reason why none of my builds are hot is because in addition to building angry coils I take the necessary care to optimize the airflow specifically for that, and, on a stacked mech that also includes not only moving a greater volume of air at a faster rate, but also achieving greater air speeds with the airflow aimed and focused directly onto the coils using the right amount of restriction, and sucking a lot harder when compared to using a single battery mech.

I only did that out of curiosity. That was the only way i could think of to fit all those coils in there. Surprisingly it didn't get too hot. I could only do 1 second pulls off of it so I don't think it got the chance. I have watched his videos and the one he built on the DR made sense. I also watched the one where he filed the AF but didn't think that was a good idea. I have been using mostly single coil RDAs on mech squonkers lately. Mainly the GR1. I put the 24mm cap and 810 DT on it and it is a tiny beast now. I also use a Serpent SMM RTA which is another single. Which I use in TC 75W/440°. That is the first time I have tried TC befoee and i gotta say I really like it. I also love the dual AF really close to the solo coil. Built with quad core FC at .19 it hits about as good as dual coils but seems to fire faster. I think that quad series stack would kill me no matter how it was built lmao
