I'm on a super tight budget, but I thought well I'll go max like 35 bucks on this thing and won! Anyhow, here's what I won in the bid on Ebay. This is my First mech / rda (I have a crap rda that I don't count). Anyhow pic below.

now a decent build some VTC5's and some good Joooooze and your on your way :vapor:

I have a question for you since I see your signature on VW devices. So majority that hit RDA's for higher end stuff you usually see mech mods. On the VW to hit like a mech, can they keep up? I know about the Nana mods and all the DNA30's and DNA20's. But never been on one. Just wondering if you have a compare and contrast with a good RDA ontop of a good Mech, and the same addy on a good VW device. Just wondering you opinion and what info or whatever on it.

30 Watt devices like the Hana's and Cana's can run builds down to 0.3Ω. However, the great thing about VV/VW mods is that you don't have to go low in resistance to produce nice vapor. You can build an RDA at 0.8Ω and pump the Watts up to 30W and you will be blowing some really nice clouds. Personally, I use my Cana for my Kayfun and Magma, for all day vapes so I don't have to refill very often, just pick up and go. In my opinion, the vapor produced by a VV/VW mod with and RDA and a low resistance build is not the same as a mech. It just doesn't feel the same. I prefer my mech much more for changing the weather.

With these new 50W, 100W, and 120W devices that are coming out, now they would be able to keep up no problem. At that point it becomes, can you create a build on an RDA that can keep up with the device itself. Also, are you willing to shell out $350+ for the 100W+ mods?

Congrats on your new mech and RDA. Enjoy and be safe!

Area you getting warm vapes? I'm a super warm vape guy off those DNA's for it to keep up to a mech? I mean I want a HANA or a even a Vapor Shark, but money wise I'd probably get a cloned DNA. Not that I don't want to, but the US companies need to lower the price. If China can produce near the same thing for a fraction of the price thennnn yeah. I know labor costs are less and paying employees but these devices are so over saturated and over priced its why ppl lean to clones anyhow. But yeah, thanks for the info, I just wanted to know if you VW you own can give you a good warm vape. Clouds are great but I'm about flavor and warmth, then clouds.

Actually for many of us the Question would be WHY?
Some, I'm one, have been vaping for vaping sake for years and are happy with builds running below 15w.
Not saying don't venture - just that some have no desire.:)

Oh, and I love my 4Nine, 18350, kayfun Nano @ 1.4ohms :D

.........@Desecrate, i'm really a Mec sorta dude and i enjoy many different builds & Atty's......started out with SID, SVD MVP ect and still enjoy them.....bought a DNA30 just to have one and see what it was all about, i'm no expert by any means only been Vaping for 6 mos or so yet i have learned a bit.....the DNA30 is a very nice device and i have ran some mid sub-ohm builds down to 0.6 cranking up to 25 to 30 watts but in my personal opinion i get a better Vape on it @ 1.2 ohms w/28ga Kanthal w/cellu-cotton at 17.5 to 20 watts and this is where i been staying with it.......now if i want to sub i grab the Mec usually @ about 0.4 to 0.6 w/26ga and my needs are met ....some like it hotter......one thing nice about the DNA is it's regulated with built in safety features and this is a + imo..........the Mec takes alot more maintenance and you need certain tools & accessories to stay in the safety zone and also like tinkering, yet this is my true preference.......listen to some of these other guy's with alot more experience they know what there talking about.

Yeah, to me, a Mech is saying to the battery. when I press this button fire ANYTHING no matter what it is, no matter what ohmz no matter if its even wire but has contact you will fire this. Also, its a tube with a battery and two contacts not ever advanced. You press up for the battery to make contact and bam done. No idea why they are more expensive when you can make one out of a flash light. Sure their are different "copper, gold, silver" contacts. Doesn't make a device even with lazer edge printing 299$ for a tube unless its a original of art and very limited in artistic case.

Anyhow, yeah maybe one day I'll get on the DNA side, I was going to go for that at first but, with a mech coming in, I see no point.

My answer to that is atleast for me. Why not? Because I can. My 15w is a joke for me atleast IMO it's just not cutting it for what I want, I feel limited as hell. I need more power for my style. I'm not trying to mass cloud chase but I need the warm / hot vape and flavor.

What I mean is I work 12hr days and most of my Vaping is on my eVics with tuned T3mini's. Average setting is 6.8w.
Most of the time My kayfuns are on Mechanical mods with Kicks set to 8-9w with coils built from 1.4-1.8ohm.
My RDA's are about the only thing that I push higher, rarely under 1.2-1.4ohm on a 18350 mod.

You asked:)

I also don't Vape any Nets or Tobacco flavors at all and DIY all my mixes so I can tune them for flavor performance by application.:D

Yeah, when you're out the ego is what to go with, .... I'd pull out my kanger protank for work. Gets the job done for on the run. To vape that low for me I don't get a hit I want. In fact if I vape lower than 4volts its like no hit to me at all and am I even blowing out vapor at that point? Anyhow each his own.

Those Tobh Attys are great! Solid pick up man. Enjoy your new setup!

Thanks man, I had a really l really really and one more time really ....ty Nimbus clone its insane only RDA I had. Been using my Kayfun Lite plus v2 and SID. I don't have the money for it but it to me was a steel to try to bid on it for the complete setup, ended at 35 bucks. Seems they are just trying to get rid of tons of setups. If anyone wants to see this guys ebay store, he has tons let me know.
