Why Mechanicals? Is sub ohm THAT big a deal? Why are these so big lately

[xyanide]

I think the point of sub-ohm coils is making it heat up quicker and achieving higher power dissipation. It's all a matter of taste. Like others mentioned a mech mod can suddenly make your mod-vape pocket friendly as they are almost always smaller than regulated devices.

*edit*
I forgot to mention I get this feeling that mech mods heat up coils quicker in general (from what I've seen in rba videos and comparing to my experience with my vamo). I am planning to buy a mech mod in the future and it will probably be a magneto, K101 or kanger e-pipe.

Wait you mean someone actually has a difference of opinion then you forcing a immature reaponse. And then people wonder why.......

I think the point is that batteries don't just 'explode' unless they are abused bare Lithium-Polymer cells trapped in a tight casing. That's not an opinion. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that users are responsible for their device failures. I'm not sure what the point of your off-topic little rant was.

I abuse lithiums in my vamo, these:
$14.79 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Because.... they last forever. I haven't had any heat on the battery yet, not an iota of warming up. I'm at 7-8 watts in RMS and it produces great vapor and flavor with the stuff I've got.

So if I got a mech, I'd need new, not explodey batteries. But man. 3400 mah.
they last forever.

Lithium-Ion isn't very explodey and the discharge rating of those panasonics is safe enough for use in mechs if I remember correctly. You should look it up just in case. I use li-ion in my vamo too. Lithium-polymer is nuts: World's Most Dangerous Battery! - YouTube

Wait; you mean an IMR battery won't cause a nuclear explosion and send "ahrattenal??" in a 2.5 (miles?) radius which in turn will put us on terrorist watch lists causing a (global?) ban when the media picks it up while we all blame the government? Seemed like well informed and thought out logic to me.

It would be nice if the noob that starts salivating from of all the sub ohm trash talk at least knew what an IMR battery was. I would venture to say that probably half of the guys in the noob forum that say "get IMR batteries" can not tell you what it is that makes an IMR battery an IMR battery.

That's almost funny.
