I'm of another mindset personally... There's a few things you need to read up on and uphold and then it's fine... Yes, it has more risks than other types, but if someone wants something like this, so who am I to baby them and say no that's too dangerous. You need to read-up before using it, so you don't hurt yourself, and if you're willing to do that, then go ahead. If you blow yourself up, then it's your own fault 
As said my first mech was a smpl, and then for this you additionally need to build 4 times higher than usual and follow CDR as always...
I agree it's not a suitable first mech for the lazy uneducated and careless user of course
I still respect you and the other likewise-minded people's opinion on this issue of course too

Like wise I respect your opinion.
Obviously everyone's free to use what they they like when they like, I'm just offering my opinion.
Just to clarify, I said that I didn't think it was suitable for a first mechanical device. Get some experience with a regular tube first then move onto a series box, from my perspective this just makes good sense.
When I use mine I make specific mental note not to allow myself any complacency. Some might consider this paranoid or over the top, but that's the way I approach mechanical mod safety based on personal experience.

It wouldn't be my first mech. I used them exclusively for like two years. I just haven't used one recently. Just tube mods though.

Oh not my first mech by a long shot. I just haven't used one in a while. I know how to build to spec and respect my batteries. When I used mechs battery safety was always number one. Never up for debate.
And I know I have to increase the ohms of my builds, because batteries in series pump out more volts than a single battery, or batteries in parallel.
My biggest concern is the need to be extra vigilant with atomizers, and how you must be careful to only use attys with a pin that protrudes at least one mm, and stays put firmly, with the Peek insulator. Not saying I won't, but for some reason I just have this worry that the center pin will end up moving while in use.
Sorry, mate, you're perfectly fine then of course As long as you stick to rda's with protruding 510's then nothing to worry about imho... When changing rda's you can do a quick test fire without having the mod close to your face to make sure

There's also a conversion kit from fatdaddy which replaces the 510 and button, but is also a tube mech itself. The way they package it is a tube mech with a removable bottom button assembly, and removable floating 510 top.
If you do get one @Forkeh a top tip:
You can lock the mod by screwing in the button upside down.
ecig.com/vape-mods have them on sale for $6 which is insanely cheap

I'll keep that in mind. Though I don't really see when I'd need to lock it. If I get this I think it'll be more of a home queen. I can't imagine taking it out driving with me, because you can't use tanks on it....or at least I don't think you can. Even my Griffin tank, I don't know I had a look at the center pin. Not sure it's sturdy enough. Better not try. Plus with the power it pumps out, even if you can use a tank, I can't imagine one wicking fast enough to keep up. My Griffin wicks unreliably at anything over 30 watts.
Plus I think I'd prefer to keep the riskier equipment at home, where I'm more prepared to handle a fiasco should one occur, as unlikely as it may be.
But yeah, holy balls that's cheap. And that's a legit site? Never bought there before.
If it's a RTA, then many of them are perfectly fine(fixed-protruding 510 of course). Also read the NC thread, as if I remember right there's several tank users there to get inspiration from.
Just build accordingly
Great call, I am exactly the same
Just pulled the trigger on it. Kinda had to for that price. Bought from ecig.com. Thanks to sonicbomb for that!
Bought the cricket, indestructible RDA (the one everyone was talking about for this mod), and a pair of LG HE4s.

Probably still gonna pick up a Nemesis though, after pay day. I know you're all saying it's old school and the threads don't last. But....I just gotta have one. For nostalgia's sake if nothing else. You know, for those times when I'm sitting on my front porch, vaping my old school mod, yelling at them darn kids to get off my lawn.
No reason in particular other than that they have solid reviews. Don't think I'll need more than 20A. Never have before. My instinct was to search for the Sonys because back when I used mechs exclusively, they were pretty much god. However, I also know it's hard to find legit Sonys these days.
Why, know something I don't about them? Should I not be using them?
The HE4's are fine, although the Samsung 25R is better.
For up to 20A usage Mooch recommends the Samsung 30Q(15-20a) or the LG HG2( <15a optimal, but still 20a cdr) .
For batteries always check Mooch's battery tests, but no worries with the HE4 though...

I don't know, I thought maybe there was a recall or bad batch out there or something LOL. And that's why the question.
I'll look into those Samsungs when I pick up a spare set. But I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near 20 amps with the Noisy Cricket. I've seen videos of this device being used....I'm thinking more like .8-1 ohm, than .5 ohms or less. This mod looks like it'll vape your face off if you go to low.
You know, I've used Mooch's battery info before, but I can't seem to find it now. You don't have a link laying around do you?
