Skip to 6:50 in the video and hear it from RIP himself.
I'd say this conversation is now over.
As much as I love my mech, I think it's inevitable that chipsets will eventually be produced that make mechs obsolete. Sooner or later you're going to see 150-200 watt chipsets in affordable price ranges, and at that point mech mods will be viewed much the same as vinyl records. They'll always have a sense of nostalgia but will eventually be inferior in terms of performance against a regulated mod that can match the voltage and amp draw of virtually any coil build on a mech.

They'll always have a sense of nostalgia but will eventually be inferior in terms of performance against a regulated mod that can match the voltage and amp draw of virtually any coil build on a mech, and do it with safe battery protections in place.
In terms of what performance? 20w mods did not make mechs obsolete. 30w mods didn't. Now we have 100w + mods, and mechs are still not obsolete. Will 150-200w mods make a difference? The people who currently vape at 100+ watts is at best a negligible minority.
For a lot of people, size and pocketability is of bigger importance than blowing ridiculously large clouds in public while wielding 2-handed box mods.
What may make mechs less desirable is when batteries and electronics get smaller than current generation mechs; at a competitive price.
When I can have a regulated mod the size of a current 18350 mech or smaller, without sacrificing any capacity, I'm all over it. That would require breakthroughs in battery energy density... and would most likely leave us with the choice between such a mod, or an even smaller mech mod. Same voop, different wrapping.
All it takes to get a great vape is a battery, a switch/button and a heating element. If you want additional safety, add a fuse.
Just what I need, a 200 watt chip set to vape at 8 watts.![]()
Eventually you'll be able to get a 200 watt regulated mod the size of a Gripper.
It's inevitable. The more popular subohming gets the greater the demand for just such a mod. It's just a matter of time before someone makes a product for that market. Even if only 1% of people who vape will want one, at the current rate of growth that market would still be in the millions in just a couple more years.
And with the current price of original mech mods anyone who can mass produce just such a device and sell it in the $100-$150 price range would make a fortune, especially if the governments ever start cracking down on clones.

roflmfao!!!!Yeah, if I have to watch Rip, yeah end of conversation fer sewer. Rip is the last guy I would choose to watch, to learn anything. Last vid of his I watched made me not want to buy what I was searching for, and I didn't, bought something Todd demonstrated instead. lmao.
