Went down to a local shop today to try and take look and get my hands on some devices and ask more questions, when another customer came up and let me try his mech mod and dammmm...... The vape blew me away, great flavor and crazy amount of vapor, I'm now thinking about going that route but am still unsure about the safety factor of it. I mean the safety factor seems simple enough if I understand right, don't over charge or let the batterys over drain andd don't build to low of cois.... Correct?
I have a 2 yrs old so safety is always my first concern.

Can anyone help with advice on safety and maintenance

HAHAH I TOLD YOU! Once I went mech mod with a kayfun tank on it, it was buh bye provari lmao. Most important thing is Amps. Aside from explaining the science, let me make it very easy. Get the Ohms law app, or calculator for the PC (whatever is easier). Check and see how many amps your battery is rated for. 18650's are USUALLY rated for 10 amps. You could go crazy and get a 20 or 30 amp battery, but its not necessary. The safest batteries in my opinion are the panasonic NCR18650CH. They are hybrids rated for 10amps (they were originally rated for 15, but manufacturer changed it). Anyhow, you build a coil. You see how many ohms it is with a 12 dollar screw in ohm meter (screw in your RDA or tank, and it tells you the ohm coil you built). Now say its .7 ohms. You look on your battery and see how many watts its rated (either its usually 3.7, or 4.2 USUALLY). Now go to your ohms law app, and there will be fields for Volts, Amps, Ohms, and Watts. So just plug in the values you know. We know the volts is 3.7 (thats what the battery is rated for), and we know ohms which is .7. In this case once those values are entered, the wattage field gets populated with a value of 17.1125, and the Amps field gets populated to 4.625. So really were concerned about the AMPS. Being 4.625 is the amps in this specific case, we have ALOT of room to play being our battery is rated for 10 amps. Obviously the lower ohms you go, the closer this value will inch up to 10.

.37 ohms will give you exactly 10amps with a 3.7 volt battery. Basically, you just plug in numbers and worry about the amp level so you dont stress your battery. The lowest ill go with a 10 amp battery is around .44 or so.

But if you buy a v/v voltage device like a provari, all v/v devices have amp limits and wattage limits. The Provari's is 5amps and 15watts I believe. So basically the lowest you could really go on a v/v like a Provar is like a 1.6 (if you want to be able to be flexible with voltage settings.) If you use a 1.6, you could bump the wattage almost up into the high 4's (like 4.8, maybe even 5). You could screw on a .8 or .9 ohm coil onto the Provari, but then you are limit to staying at a 3.2 volt setting, which is COMPLETELY senseless.

So you could easily see the HUGE advantages of a Mechanical Mod, and the great flavors and vapor you get from it. If you go with a Hana Mod DNA 30, you can get best of both worlds as its wattage limit is 30 watts. THe thing is amazing. So you can use low ohms, and very high voltages.

Hope this info was helpful for you. Let me know if I confused you about anything lol
