when did you get into mechanical mods?

Probably in January, my second vape is a cheaply made mechanical mod with horrendous screechy threads. It's almost like they took the DNA of a pterodactyl and forged it into the metal. Absolutely hated it at first because I didn't know about the existence of RDAs. I've since acquired an IGO-W with a nice driptip and a different topcap, and now I love it. I overpaid $60 for it from a B&M before I discovered this place. I'm still using it while I wait for my slowtech order that's been sitting in China for 2 weeks.

I went about 9 months going through about 3 vape pens before I made the switch. Got tired of the wires breaking constantly. Don't know why I didn't make the switch to mechs and building coils sooner considering I like to tinker with ....

You do realize you don't need a mech mod to be able to rebuild coils and don't need to rebuild coils to use a mech mod....:)

I appreciate the mech experience but now with regulated mods exceeding both my preferred ohm load and power level I'm about to switch back to regulated vaping. I do get tired of voltage drop off.

I run VTC5's on a brass Stingray (doesn't get any better IMO) and I can get through most of the day on a single battery but I want a constant power level...all day long.

I have other gear including a 30w APV, but I tend to vape in the 35 to 50 watt range so with my current tackle it must be on a mech.

I see an SX330v3 in my future, 100 watts of regulated flat DC powered bliss.
