And to continue to stock up, if need be. I'm glad I took the time to learn how to use mechs. They will last much longer, in general, than a lot of your regulated mods. I had a Wismec RX200S for a mere 3 months. I didn't even get that much use out of it because my mods are rotated in and out of use. It just died recently. It wasn't dropped, exposed to water, etc. It just wouldn't turn on anymore.

I need to learn DIY e-liquid in the meantime.

Building your own coils, and you're all off the regulation grid. If you're using mechs now, that's probably redundant, and feel free to ignore me.

Wow you have bad luck. I have only had 2 mods and iTaste SVD (4yrs old) and a Vaporflask Lite (2yrs old). The SVD will occasionally turn itself off but other than that, both still work flawlessly. I am currently looking for a 3rd mod to add to the collection though.

I am going to give the new Modefined Sirius 200W TC Mod a try.

That’s good news on the SVD. I was gifted an SVD 2.0 a while back. It is an excellent device that for some reason didn’t seem to get very popular back when it was released.
It’s built like a tank, functions flawlessly, and gives me a vape very similar to my Provari. I use the 18650 set up. I know it’s big and heavy, but I love it. I figured it would last with the DNA board, but good to know it’s given you 4 years service.

I think those 200S's had problems. My sons had no problems so far from the 200 though. When some companies use vapers for their R&D, lol, the occasional mod is likely to have problems though.

Im a provari girl, as a result, but I do have other mods too. Mech's are my last step into complete and total future off the grid vaping status. I learned building and DIY e juice first, mech's are my last thing to learn. I'm fairly well ready to though.

Now I've been challenged to run 50mg through my Kabuki . I'll report back tomorrow! You won't have any trouble handling 100mg.

My standard mod is a Royal Hunter Mini dripper. I run dual coils, with a net 0.7R resistance (7/8 wraps of 27ga Kanthal A1, 3mm ID). My Kabuki, at 10 watts, gives that Dripper (at 20W) a good run for it's money, which is the optimum highest power I can run the Kabuki (the flavor starts to degrade after that point, more or less). So now I'm curious

Well, @DeAnna2112 , I've been vaping 50mg unflavored 25p/75v all morning through my Kabuki. Great vape . I haven't done 50 for quite some time, maybe a year? Took a couple of hours of rotating that with more normal nic jiuce. Quite harsh. Maybe I'll pick up some salted nic and see what that is like. Not sure why, just because I can? . If you do this regularly you have quite some nic tolerance.

That's a nice looking mod, especially for the price.

That is actually a pretty interesting device at that price. It looks to be a clone of the DNA C series board and the company is a sister company to Lost Vape which puts out quality stuff. Since my primary concern is TC modes I will wait for Pbusardo or DJlsb to do a review since they actually test TC modes for accuracy.

I will say that one other thing that would make me wait on this is the fact that their published website (www. company name .com) seems to be for sale. It does no good to buy an "upgradeable" device if there is no website to get the upgrades from. It also makes support non-existent if you do have a problem.

If you do get one, you should post your experience here.

Mech's are my last step into complete and total future off the grid vaping status. I learned building and DIY e juice first, mech's are my last thing to learn. I'm fairly well ready to though.

Mechs are both the easiest and the hardest thing to learn. They are very easy devices to understand. They are just a battery, a tube, a button, and a 510 connector. However they are the hardest b/c ALL of the functions that a regulated device normally handles now HAS to be handled by you. You have to understand your specific batteries abilities and limits, know exactly what resistance your coils are, know Ohms law to make sure you don't over tax your batteries, and you have to learn when to swap out your batteries before you drain them too low causing permanent damage to them.

Personally I will always use regulated mods. If the FDA gets too aggressive with regulations to make buying them feasible, I will get a DBA and order the raw boards wholesale and make them myself. As long as I never market them the FDA won't be involved. I can make as many preproduction prototypes as I want. I'll just be the world's least successful vaping company.

Are you the same lady who quit vaping last year or did you kidnap my friend and clone her?
"Provari girl"...
Though Provape did make well engineered products had you asked me what I thought back when you asked me what I thought you should buy I would have told you that Provaris were ridiculously over priced.

But I do agree with you that manufacturers should do their R&D before they release their wares to the public
I wonder whether Provape did enough R&D prior to releasing their last couple of mods or if they were in too much of a hurry to beat the compliance dates.

If you want my opinion, Opinionated...mechs are a good way to blow your pretty face up
and only worth owning in case you can't ever buy a regulated mod again. Be safe.
Please don't grow a beard, get studs and gauges, start wearing watch caps or get a bunch of tats...K?

Any government big enough to tell you what to vape is big enough to take it away.

Good luck.

Indeed, big enough to take away whatever they can find..
(apply that generally)
I have 2 mechs in case all of my regulated devices decide to break and I can't repair them
but I don't use them, they're in a figurative "in case of emergency break glass" box,
have enough parts to make some more,
I'm familiar with ohms law for several reasons
and should I accidentally blow my face up
I don't have as much to lose as my pretty friend Opinionated

Yes I am the same person who quit vaping last year... and the same person who picked it back up in a weak moment and hasn't put it back down yet. ( its somehow been more difficult to put down again..I do know if I manage it again, what not to do because picking it back up once is the kicker..lol )

OMG>> I just realized you didn't know I am vaping again! Yes.. I started vaping again.. and hubby and son are too now! So, what happened, 5 months into my quit, which was going so very well, I had a day where it really crept up on me and decided it was just one drag, and I really just wanted that one drag..... I took more than one drag..

As far as my p3's.. I love them, ridiculously overpriced or not.. hahahaha. Best vape ever! And if I hadn't gone and purchased them, I never would have gotten hubby to vape, as he is now using the same ridiculously overpriced provari's.. We both have really been enjoying them. My son is a cloud chaser type, vaping 60-70 watts on his wismec that I bought for him. Which is good, he was smoking three packs a day, so I am very happy hes vaping now.

I agree with you about my face though, I do worry a bit about that.. but, if I am careful I think I can manage to not blow my face off.. I believe I have enough knowledge to avoid that anyway and its not like I am some sort of sub ohm pushing the limits type of vaper.... plus they are good to know.

Yet here is the thing, Do we set them carefully in a box for the emergency break, then do a crash course when all our mods are done some years in the future, or do we get comfortable with them now, learn them, understand their use from a personal experience with them now, then decide if we like them, can even be comfortable with them?

I kind of think we will be lost in that emergency if we don't learn them now and if we find we don't even like them then we will know and adjust our futures accordingly.

My view? Get comfy, then box them. I just prefer the flexibility of regulated mods for everyday use. Should the day that's the only option left for me, I'll deal with it.

I'll say the same thing about mechs as I do about DIY, if ya got it, learn it while the getting is good. There are lots of folks ready, eager and waiting to help you along the path, why not take advantage of that now.

When I got my first load of DIY stuff in, I told myself it was sink or swim, and I never looked back.

As to mechs, I use my REOs mods daily right beside my ProVaris, and I have a few tubes that I occasionally use, my builds are almost always above 1 ohm and I am completely satisfied with them. Best of luck,but if you do your homework and ask questions when needed, you won't need luck.

 

[stols001]

It is actually probably preferable to learn how to use a mech mod while you can, and it's easy. I personally plan to do some of that investigating a little closer to 2021, I think. Anything I can do to delay the process.... . But, I think in principle this is sound, and some of them look soooo lovely, and @Opinionated, I definitely want you going first, LOL.

We have all the luck we need, if we just make it…luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Good luck!

My opinion is that there will not be an "emergency break" and all you really need to know is ohms law which you should be familiar with if you vape anyway,
and how to roll with the correct resistance +- a few fractions of an ohm
