Some people don't like circuitry...they want to vape off the battery. So then they start threads about adding circuitry (the kick). lol. (Just teasing ya OP)
Actually..."they" also claim that:
A) All-mech mods are more "rugged".
B) They can repair them themselves.
C) "Look better" (subjective), Last longer, etc....AKA Hand made, one-off, "works of art".
D) The Super-Low-Resistance (SLR) vaping fad uses them because they draw A LOT of amps from batteries and most circuitry isn't currently designed to allow that many amps (but could be designed to allow it).
I think, personally, that the circuitry is a safety feature and that bypassing it is asking for trouble. If vaping was up to me, I'd (?probably?) take all-mech mods off the market. However, I know that's my personal bias, and that I can't tell others what to do...particularly since it's basically two conductors, a button and a battery+connector. So outlawing it is not practical. Anybody can make a simple all-mech mod. Machinists can make a decent looking one in their garage...and often do.
It should be simple to make an electronic mod with built-in short protection (within reason) even for use with SLR.
The kick is nice because it adds short protection AND cut-off protection so you don't over-drain the battery.
