Why do you like a mechanical mod ?

Basically what IMFire said.
I don't use mechanical mods anymore, but when I did it was by far the most durable mod I ever had. I could throw it out the window at 55MPH and it would be fine. If it was dirty, take the battery out and put it in the sink. Needed to fix something? 2 minutes at most I was good to go.

Mostly because I don't need a VW mod and actually dislike all the ones I have tried. A simple tube mod with the right build on an atty gives me all the vape I need. Its also much more like smoking with a non-linear power band. Durability wise they can't be beat. All of mine are solid, well made devices which in the event of a mugging can be used as a defensive device.
I wanted the option to run different types of coils that a regulated mod would've been better suited for in my opinion.
This has been pretty much my experience also. One other reason for me to use mech mods when I did was there were no regulated mods out there that went high enough in power back then.
One other reason for me to like my regulated mods now is that I can adjust the power at will anytime I want to, but the freedom in coil design is still the main thing I like.
Supposedly it won't die within the next 5-10 years. I've already melted a Nemesis's Delrin insulator though.
Mechanicals are all I've ever used, except for my brief Provari phase a few years ago. I don't currently own a regulated mod, and have no intention of getting one. I like the simplicity and reliability of mech mods.
Terry, why do we enjoy our meals as they graduate from hot to cool? For the very same reasons we discover different variations of temperature, flavor and texture in our juices as with a given build voltage (and watts, heat) drops from 4.2V (or more). It is this delicious variability which distinguishes a mechanical as few variables can similarly exhibit the same subtleties in my view.
Playing with temp and vaporization rates for a particular juice can yield surprising results. Sometimes you may find character in a blend you might never have imagined if you always live in a wattage world.
Good luck.
cause I know how mechanicals work. and how to make them work. if I break one of my regulated mods, I'd just have to buy a new one cause I don't know how they work. lol.
Exactly PT. Mechanicals demand a bit more from us. But here's another case where the digital hides a whole lot more of the detail from us that our palate craves to discover.
Good luck.
Question... if I want a lesson on mechs where would I look?
I like to build in the range of 1.2-1.5, but I also like to chain vape.
Is there a thread somewhere on here?

Because they're the best. If you can make a mech work, you can do anything.
There's hundreds if not thousands, but not a beginner's guide or anything like that. We usually take our newbies through the process one at a time. Hhhmmm... perhaps I should write one. Or maybe not. I kinda like feeling sure the person I am talking to has a good grasp on it. You don't get that with a blog post.
So, what do you want to know? Just talk to me or Kpr or Mac or PT or Rydean or any of the mekkies around here.
I think because I like to chain vape, I just assumed it wouldn't be wise for me to have one. But then I think of all those cheap ego batteries that I went through and nothing happened that was bad. I guess I'm nervous about battery safety.
I've never considered mech mods, but then again, I haven't had to. Terry, I'm not sure how long you have been vaping, but I wouldn't use a mech mod knowing my skill levels at this point. I am fearful of a battery venting through my improper use of it. I guess, starting on regulated mods, I don't know what I'm missing. I'm not even a big dripper though, so it will be a while, if ever, before I begin a search for one. There is a lot to learn, but I'm sure if you want to try it, you'll get plenty of good advice here in how to do so...
Best of luck!

I like the short battery life, the oddball placement of the switch, the consistant voltage drop, and having to deal with Ohms Law and checking/testing every coil...
