Got my first mechanical mod + rda ... What a huge improvement!! ... here's why...
vape history lesson:
This is just my experience... and don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed vaping since the very beginning.... so here it is:
I've been vaping since the short 510s were the best stuff available (2009)... we used to put pyramid tea bags in the cartridge instead of polyfill to get a little bit more consistency and hold more juice... they would leak all over you... usually at the worst possible time.
Next was dripping in 510 atomizers. They flooded all the time. Remove the bridge and it vapes a little bit better... remove the wick and it's a juice cup that shoots burning liquid through your drip tip. ego batteries came out... the ego cone pretty much solved the leaky 510 thing but still 510/ego atomizers ended up burnt or clogged pretty fast no matter what you did... oh yeah and blowing out the atomizer... blow in the battery end and let it sit upside down overnight hahaha burn, flood, blow, burn, flood, blow
Then came the 5v mods which really were a big improvement in vapor production if you could find an atomizer that could handle the volts... here's a tip... if you really mistreat an oldschool 510 atomizer on 3.7v sometimes it will gain enough resistance to really rock on pure 5v.
Next we had cartomizers (aka gunkomizers).. then dual coil cartos (better)... this phase of vaping was actually pretty good if you threw out your carto every few days but no one did... so we vaped that "bottom of the carto" crap all the time lol.
Variable voltage came out and things were better... more and more manufacturers offered low and high resistance cartos which was also even better.
Tanks hit the scene and really improved everything but the carto tanks always wanted to leak and the cartomizers still gunked pretty fast. The vivi nova wasn't bad if you only want to vape the top 1ml of liquid... after that you're left twisting and twirling it in hopes that it will wick the juice... also they would end up burnt tasting pretty fast because of the coil legs touching the rubber. The bottom coil protank/evod style tanks were a nice improvement over the clearo/vivi style tanks --- unless ---- you like vg and you didn't want dry hits.
I actually went back to cartos after trying to work boba's bounty in a protank for a while lol
Anyway fast forward to modern times... with a little bit of safety research and and a couple of hours on youtube learning to make the coils you enter a whole new dimension. You can wrap a coil in just a few minutes, screw it down to your rebuildable, throw in some cotton, stick it on a metal tube with a good battery and BAM you have the most consistent vapor that has ever been available! I guess the future is now.
No real reason for this post... just enjoying my new gear
anyone else remember the 'ptb mod' lol
