I think a mech is too advanced for me...?
We all start somewhere. Mechs are actually simpler than anything you currently own. But, they have no safeties... know/learn/tote a calculator ohms law, use good batteries, build safe, and all is well. My third mod was a mech. I now have around 30... including this latest addition (which is not for novices):

But I do still need a replacement for my kayfun 5 (which I don't like) so there's some shopping that still needs to be done. Are there any good RBAs out there in the $20 range?

The DigiFlavor Sirens have been great for & to me.

Coils are $3.50 for 5 pk at 3f vape. It amy take a month to get to you but if you order six boxes or whatever and reorder when you're down to two boxes it wouldn't matter. Just FYI. I just got s black one to replace the white one.
I also tried the my mini. The one I received doesn't seem to be working properly. I can't believe the vaporshark minnow which is a reskinned icare go is $30. That's insane. And its selling out!! Which makes me think hey have fans who aren't aware of he original platform which seems to be licensed to everyone under the sun now. The mymini is going to be replaced because the online store where I bought it is awesome (origin vape) hopefully t will be better and draw properly as I much prefer the drip tip to the icare go wide flat one.
I buy my icare coils at FT for $3.65 for 5 - almost the same.

Its not difficult at all. And I disagree with the kick comment. To each their own. I also think xhoosong s size and getting from some of jr best manufacturers is he way to go. GP introduced 316L to vaping. Their gpin connection and Lux pins are the absolute best of he best. The paps v4 switch is almost like a touch sensor and the locking ring is completely unique and so easy to use. The Gus mods have fused 510. You can't get safer than that.

Kicks add size and aren't necessary. Building forms mech is. Or any different than building for regulated in terms of. You make s coil. The difference is you find he right coil for the atomizer. Since you don't change power. So I know in the gem I build 1-1.2 ohm. In the heron I build to .8. In the spheroid I build to 1.8. It's not any harder you just use different wire basically or a wrap or two less or more. Its not complicated nor is it as dangerous as everyone seeks to make out if you're building on a meter to ensure you don't have a short. And you know you're a tootle puffer and don't build stupid low or buy. Heap batteries. I just don't see where it's dangerous unless you make it so. By being lazy or overly disinterested. This just happened to me. I built without a meter and there was a small piece of wire that shorted. However on the gp units using gpin or a fused Gus mod there is no risk. A kick is not necessary with what I mentioned.


Obviously everyone has their own orefeeences. I prefer small or as small as possible. I don't want to buy a 650 mod and hen only get 1000 mah of battery life because s kick means I can only use a 500 battery in it.

Its. It difficult or complicated. Especially for tootle puffing. The danger is in a short and unprotected mod. But neither of the manufacturers I mentioned fall into that category and it's specifically why I mentioned them. You can get very small 350 battery mods. Be safe. Tiny. Inexpensive. And they will survive the vapeocalyose. They'll never break. A kick defeats that. Its another piece of electronic that can break. To me he point of a mech mod is to go small and have something they will always work like a revolver vs an uzi. Like a needle and thread on hand always vs a sewing machine

What was mentioned is an option. I just have a different opinion and that's why forums are great. But don't shy away from a mech for fear or believe they're all dangerous. That much at least is just untrue. I stayed away from Lexus for a year cuz people scared me about them. And in hindsight and after a couple years with them its just not s big deal at all. Chips fa all the time. People don't lock regulated mods and batteries explode even with them. Hell
Samsung phones blow up more regularly than mech mods. And if you go with the true innovators most of them have made mechanical mods as safe as regulated.

I agree with most of that, but for a novice not yet set I prefer options, and lots of room to grow...

I can't fault that logic. And I don't discredit your opinions at all. I just wanted to provide another pov and take some of the fear away. A lot of people seem to think mechs are inherently dangerous. We in this thread are all building wel within safe battery stuff.

Anyway I really do appreciate your point of view and thank you for sharing and participating in discussion without any reactionary "I'm right LALALALALALA" mentality common in forums. I very much appreciate contrasting views and typically they're how I learn !!

Is there a way to save posts for future reference, other than screenshots on my phone?

You can bookmark using the thread post number. It isolates just the post.

Like in this screenshot see where it says post : 19063939

I sent an instant message via tapatalk about the dry herb vaporizer question. Not sure if you're on the instant message stuff so I'll pm through the forum too.

With any vaporizer the most important thing is no combustion. Cheap vaporizers any kind don't typically avoid combustion.
