Want to get into mechanicals...don't know where to start..

[Palantir1120]

Ok as the title says, I want to try mechanical mods, don't know where to start.

I don't want to get into this for hundreds of dollars until I know if I will like it or not. It took me a couple weeks just to get use to the size of the ego batteries vs. the cig-a-like style batteries. I have seen and held the MVP2, did not try as it was a vendors personal setup, but I am intrigued by the vv/vw setups.

What is a decent, cheap vv/vw setup that I can purchase and where? I usually shop at Discount Vapers. They have a few but it seems the cheapest is the Tesla @ $54 (batteries not included).

Any help would be appreciated.

Note: I currently use Kanger T3S clearomizers on ego style batteries. So again, just want to use same tanks and try the vv/vw if possible.

You can't go wrong with the MVP2 to start with. Sure it isn't round and chrome and all that but it works and the charge lasts for days. You can vape while you spend all day searching websites for mods

Also consider getting glass tanks and clearos as you start to add to your collection. They only cost a dollar more than plastic and could be healthier. No worry if your new juice will melt a plastic tank.

Ok just to update my wants/needs on this. I want to explore different set ups. I am looking for flavor more than clouds. I am using the Kanger T3S clearo. If I were to pick up an MVP or MVP 2.0, what would be a good tank (inexpensive, i.e. <$15) that would be recommended. I haven't tried the whole building my own coils yet. I currently run 2.2 ohm coils in my T3S. Just looking for tips on which vv/vw I should try, and if a new tank would be beneficial too.

 

[PaulBHC]

MVPs come with iClear 16 clearos or 30 tanks with plastic. Mine came with the 30, top coil and a swivel tip. I have some mini vivi nova top coil, generic CE4 and 5. Decided to go glass and got Aspire ET-S ~$8 and vivi nova ~10 both with BDC.

 

[Palantir1120]

what thread type are those? I only ask because if they are 510 thread and I don't like them then I can pass them on to someone else I know that has 510 batteries

 

[PaulBHC]

The ET-S are ego and the vivi and iClear are 510. MVP has both on the connector.

I would keep the 510s for backup or to test new flavors. Unless you are helping someone out.

thanks for the info. Any recommended vendors to shop at?

Shipping was hit and miss during the holidays and the bad weather so I don't know if being close to you matters. I have been buying from completevape.com desertvapes.com in the West, perfectionvapes.com myfreedomsmokes.com in the North East.

The T3s is my favorite plastic tank. Check out the aspire bdc glass line. Check out my previous post for how to Make them work well. Some people have problems with dry hits. With what I do. I haven't.

By the way what you are looking for are not mechanical mods. Mech mods have no vv/ww. They are basically just a tube with a battery. They are used for sub-ohming. The vv you are looking at are APV's advanced personal vaping devices.

It is not a mechanical mod that you want.
The cheapest VW you fill find is the Innokin iTaste VV V3 passthrough battery.
After that there its big brother the MVP2 - best bang for the buck in batteries.

after that, there are thre battery tubes/boxes
svd, vamo, sid, zmax

upscale from that
evic, vtr, 134,

I guess in there somewhere is the tesla; I dont hear much about that one.

All the above offer VW.

Finally there's the Provari, which curiously enough is only VV and does not offer VW.


To test the waters, the simple VV V3 might be a good choice; I'm thinking to get one myself for the passthrough operation.

otherwise a good start could be like a vamo; I have a vamo and a zmax, and I find myself preferring the vamo as the kind of tube I'd recommend to somebody new to mods; easy to use, parts you can put together in a few ways, and the latest very also has a detachable control head you can put onto something else!

miniprotank2 or smoktech aro.

the protanks and smoktech aro both eGo thread and are glass; the aro has a protective jacket over the glass

Most everything out there is 510, about 20% is EGO with a few percentage points for 801 and 901 and whatever the hybrid guys are using.

One thought is a tanked cartomizer. I am using an AGR+ with boge LR cartos and it blows protanks, aspires and evods out of the water as far as taste and production goes. I also tend to grab it before I reach for my several RBA and RDA topped mods. Pyrex tank, locking tank, no leaks cheap to buy as well as re-carto. About the only down sides are having to use a needle tip to fill, they gunk up after about a week of continuous use with dark caustic juice and you pretty much have to empty the tank and take it apart to replace the carto.

But compared to most clearomizers, they dont leak, flood or gurgle, they give wonderful flavor and produce one heck of a lot of vapor, not in the amounts cloud chasers do, but I have to be careful in public to not blow a nice plume of mist out my nose.... Also cartos are old tech, you can get them pretty easy and cheaply.

If you want, it comes with tanks and sleves to use wither 35mm or 45mm cartos.

You are in luck, you can get them in Australia!

And they carry the zmax, I liked mine so much I bought 2 just in case I broke 1...
