Well, a DNA 30 can't fire anything over 30 watts. And most regulated devices can't fire anything under 1.2 ohms. Mechanical mods can fire anything. They're reliable and effective. They can be washed. They are definitively the best looking of all vaporizers. And, you can get them in any price range, unlike the DNA devices.
it can fire under 1 ohm down to. 3 or. 4 I believe. Of course it can't fire anything over 30W but how many people buy a mech mod to fire over 30W? If you already have a DNA30 I see no reason to get a mechanical mod unless it's to spend money on multiple devices that "look cool" oh and DNA30 @70$ should be in anyone's price range as long as they arnt Gung hoe about authentic.

Simple battery tube with 510/ego interface; Perfect for backup.
A DNA30 kick would be nice.

. No one is going to force you to. Honest,
I won't be buying a high power clone until I know how reliable they are. I might not even do it then and stick with the real deal. I also wouldn't buy a 30 watt regulated mod because I vape around 25 watts and there's not enough head room there to handle working out SS mesh shorts. I also don't want want to be vaping that close to the max the device can handle. 50 might be enough for me, but 75 would be better.
Mechs are also generally more reliable and practically indestructible.
YMMV.
My argument is lifespan of the mods. If it has wires and boards and such it will eventually die. Or not survive the vapocalypse. Lol

a 0.4 ohm setup on a fresh battery is pushing 10.5a and 44w, maybe a little less - this is kinda my standard for an RDA, though I often go much lower to 0.2-0.25.
I run a 0.5-0.7 on my Kayfuns all day long... I suppose anything over a 0.6 (which would give you 29w @0.6 on a mech) could be re-imagined OK on a DNA30... but then again the mechs I use most often cost me like $28(Infinite Stingray) - $35(HC Copper Nemie).
And after having VV/VW devices, I realized that I never went up or down with them, not really. I just set it and that was it. I like being able to define and determine my vape by the shape and resistance, the gauge and length, etc, of my build, so... no need to pay so much for a VV/VW when I can get a kick-... vape for the price of a 1000mah spinner.
Also, a mech is very compact for what it can do, unlike a VV/VW, which is very big generally

I almost exclusively vape at wattages higher than 30. Any mech with a fresh battery and a lower resistance than .6 ohms is pushing more than 30 watts. It might be able to fire a .3 ohm coil, but it's not firing it at 60 watts like a mech would. I'm not saying the DNA30 isn't a great chip, because it is, but it can't, and will never be able to, do what a mech can do.
Yeah srsly I think A LOT of people with mechs run over 30w most of the time. That's definitely the low end for me, and then only in a kayfun.
Before I did mechs I thought that 15w was high, 30w way too high... and it is for the coils I was using back then. That would have tasted terrible and burnt everything.
And of course I would say again that size is a consideration -- my VV/VW in 350 mode is still a few cm taller than my Stingray in 650 mode.

Not sure about the dna30 but interestingly, in the case of the sx350 chip, there seems to be a bypass mode:
so with the sx350 you can run it like a mech if you want

Actually the Kick-2 is a better regulator than the DNA because it can be adjusted down as well as up.
Any PV you want to use is a compromise in one way or another, so choose the ones that do what you want best. Trust me, I won't hold it against ya if your choices are different than mine.
"Self reliance" is why I have mechanical mods. Same reason that I use RDAs, and DIY my liquids.

TONS of people, on a regular, daily basis. Myself included.
There is MANY factors to mechanicals. Im personally drawn to the huge Epeen it gives me with every new rare mod I buy.
I can vape at 80 watts if i wish so... I can vape a 10ohm coil or i can vape a 0,2 ohm coil... Theres nothing stopping me (except from the will to not blow up myself)
The mechs look great and they will work after a fall into a puddle of water or from a really tall building... A mod with any sorts of electronics in them might die if they tip over or gets a splash of water in the wrong place... A mech just needs a fresh battery

I love my mechs....they will outlast everything else I have. I like the looks and the simplicity of them. I also love my provaris. I use those all day, everyday. Like a mech, they just always work. I generally prefer a 1 ohm micro coil in a kayfun or a Taifun. Thats my all day device. I sometimes like a .4 or .5 ohm dual coil in a dripper on a mech. I like it with a fresh battery....that means I'm over 30 watts. Your question is why do I like mechs now that DNA 30's are around....because I do. My question is what does it matter to you? You're suggesting that mech folks are missing the boat with these sleek, simple indestructible and affordable devices that will last forever. Should we opt for a cloned DNA device that is limited to 30 watts and may not survive a month? Don't get me wrong here, I love the DNA 30. Its a great chip. I prefer a mech. I have both. All this worrying and complaining about what other people use just gets weird . Why not just start a thread that says "lovin my DNA 30" ? Why the need to knock others equipment ?
