Over 10 watts isn't working well anymore with my 3.00 ohm and berry coconut. It's burning. I had just set it up so...wanted to not give the wrong idea. It's back down to 9 watts and maybe will go up or down a tad
Where'd you get your coconut? I got some I'm steeping now (7 days in) and still no sign of a coconut flavor :-(
your missing out imo... sure there a few who can tinker their regulated vv's with higher voltage, but in my experience its too much hassle and never got satisfaction.
I was damned surprised that you could get a vape at sub 1.0 Ohms and not be harsh and burnt... BUT its true.
The SS wick and tilting the device keeps the juice at the coil and there's no burning.... just super vapor and great taste.
In fact better taste than my Penelope 1.7 coil with say 9.5w... which is good and smooth btw but if i had to choose it would be SLR with a mechanical...
this is what's happening and why good mechanical devices and hybrids are so hard to get.... the demand far outstrips the supple right now... it'll be a while but watch for new mechanical devices to be coming out of China.
That's the secret, I told my wife to act like she's drinking a bottle of Pepsi and now she sees the light.
Like I said, I want to set my voltage/wattage and have it STAY there. As I understand it, you cannot regulate the voltage in a mechanical, which means that as the battery is used, your vape changes. No way, no thanks. What's the point of fine-tuning an RBA, only to have the battery decide what voltage it wants to give you?
heard of a kick? also i don't think you'll quite understand until you're vaping off a .7-.9ohm coil with a good mech, it's just something that seems odd, but when you try it you become a believer, and it is not for everyone not trying to push you into believing us mech lovers, but it's truly something (mech+low res coil on an RBA) that a VV device cannot deliver
First, I've heard of a kick, but as I see no draw to mechanicals, I haven't done any research and really don't know what they do.
I don't think you get what I'm saying though, I've got a homemade VV device (with a potentiometer, thus, infinite voltage increments) with no short protection, so I can run whatever resistance atty I want, and still have variable voltage. It cost me about $30 to build, and because I BUILT it, should something go wrong, it's only $4-5 to fix/replace any single component.
I don't see much of an issue with battery drain, you just hold the button longer or pulsate, the vape is close enough. Plenty of my own mods have boosters and regulators in them but I like my true mechs as well, they don't underperform in comparison to the others, and they're virtually immortal with no circuitry to worry about.
I am so tired of the it isnt regulated crap and your vape isnt the same everytime argument. If you havent vaped sub one ohm on a mech mod dont talk about what you dont understand.
I use 18amp samsung batterys and i get a full day on one 18650 battery can go a day and a half before i notice vapor drop off.
Once you vape at 18+ watts on a genny unregulated nothing else compares and i mean nothing

So explain to me how 18 watts on a 0.7 ohm is any different than 18 watts on a 3.5 ohm. It just heats up faster right? My upper limit is about 9 watts, anything else tastes like ..... Doesn't matter the resistance, juice, atty, or device. It's just ....ing NASTY!
I also don't need extreme battery life (I've got 18350's on the way for my vamo) as I've got egos for out and about. In my line of work, I'm not carrying around a giant silver phallic with breakable parts, period. Nor am I going to put another giant 18650 in my pocket for when my vape starts getting weak.
Agreed! I go a full day at .7Ω with my MNKE batteries. Consistent vape all day long. . . . . . . Don't tilt tho, no need.
short circuit protection has nothing to do with how low you can go...amp limit (on the switch) would be the thing you're thinking about. also, wires can only handle so much through them, you might have built it and can replace the wires, but wires will fry at super super low ohms/high wattage. and yes i know YOU BUILT IT, however, are you going to be in the best of moods if you are having to replace wires, re solder them and put your mod back together? I'm just saying there's certain things about a mechanical (no wires, no boards to fry) that NO vv/electric device can handle or be good for. plain and simple if you wish to run low low ohm coils, there is no other option than running a mechanical. and as i've said, it may not be for everyone, but if you have no interest in running a mechanical, then don't think about running super low ohm coils. as i have said the reason i prefer mechs is because i only use RBAs with low ohm coils, and have zero interest (polar opposite to you) in using a vv/electronic device because it's not going to be able (in any way shape or form) to handle what i want it to do. you say potato i say spud, to each his own, that's all that matters.

I've done both, and you're right it doesn't compare. I prefer my Provari/ZAP @ 13-14w on a 2Ω coil by a long shot. Traded my EA/Kick/ZAU all out, just didn't like it, the kick was a pita and you can only regulate to 10w. Get the same taste and vapor from the setup I have now.
To any that are reading this and haven't tried it. It's really not all that. People get into the gennys and think they have to take it to the extreme, you don't. If you're happy with how you're doing now stick with it. Taste is subjective.
Is there seriously provari fanboy hate directed at mech mods now? Unbelievable.
i simply am addicted to a mechanical mod because i can take all the ones i own, take the batteries out throw them in water and wash them, clean them, dry them and they fire right back up. there is not one thing (other than a missing part and dirty connects which really isn't a concern of mine) taht would cause them to malfunction. that's my reasoning, plus they allow me to go beyond what vv/vw devices would "limit" me to. im fine with others enjoying what they like, but there's no need for them to put down a mechanical when they have no idea what tthey're talking about. and yes i agree with above posts, taste is subjective.
LOL not a fanboy, I still use my Vamo when out and about and the ProV at home. The Vamo gets more use than the Provari. It's just what I use with an RBA so it's what I got to go by.
Can't even mention the name anymore without panties bunching up lol.
I tend to mechanicals myself. My Vamo and Ego vv passthroughs are my non mechanicals and they haven't failed me in any way. But I have 3 mechanicals counting the one on the way. Mortar (conveniently designed to use kick with super easily and all brass) Mini Reo 2.1( bottom feeder) and the Damacus Flair which is just simply very pretty for glass tank days or dripping. Not kick able.
if you are saying that 18watts on a 3 ohm coil is the same as 18 watts on a sub one coil, your sadly mistaken.
Sorry, I just felt like there was anti mod speak starting up, or a mech vv debate. Maybe I was misinterpreting things.
