Hmm, regulated is now at available at 70 watts, 96 watts and 100 watt maxes now. But nothing wrong with a nice regulated 30 watt device. Haven't found my preferred level yet, but it's more the 20 watts and less than 96 watts.
Will DNA20/DNA30 mods render mech mods obsolete?

Eh, they are not easily accessible yet. You have to jump in on "preorders" and "limited sales in batches". And most are expensive even though they have a plastic shell... I doubt they will get much cheaper.
pfft-pfft this thread at the top of the page again!
You folks are forgetting that many of us started using mchanical "mods" long before sub ohm vaping or RBA's even existed, and still use them for the same reasons that we did back then. THEY WILL STILL WORK EVEN IF HELL FREEZES OVER (and that could still happen if the FDA has their way)
I put the time into mechanicals, RDA's, and DIY liquids to become 'self relient', instead of needing to rely on bans not being passed.
If push should come to shove, I can vape for the rest of my life without ever buying a thing.

I have a Hana Modz V3 (dna 30) on order . But I will always have my Silver Bullet M. I believe mechanicals will never be obsolete. I do believe though that technology is making vaping better in quality.
There are always going to be pros and cons to both.

Will the DNA kill mechs?
They are simple and elegant. They will always attract some people.

Yes, people do still use those despite the fact that those are obsolete methods of transportation, communications, and playing back music respectively. Just because something is obsolete does not mean it will disappear completely.
So the answer is, yes the DNA 20/30 and future electronics will make mechs obsolete because they are better; they have numerous advantages. The primary advantage of mechs is that they're cheap to make. They are, after all, nothing more than a battery holder and a switch. Their low price may keep them popular for longer than they should be.
However, if you want a consistent vape, a mech ain't the way to get it -- there's way too much difference between a freshly charged battery and one that's approaching the end of its useful charge. A regulated mod can also use more of the battery's rated mAh capacity than a mech can.
I've had provaris, DNA 20s, MVPs, vtrs, and they are all gone. The experience I get with a mech can't be matched. Mech life is for me.
Advanced circuitry will always have a place, but so will the simple construction of a mech. The simple straightforward designs of mechs will always have a fan base just like there are people who will always love a manual transmission in a Car with a finely tuned engine. But some people want the adjustability and ease of "safe" use of the automatic transmission or regulated, DNA mods.

Sorry, but a mech isn't comparable to a car with a manual transmission, because even a manual transmission lets you change gears anytime you want (while driving the car). A mech is comparable to a car with a one-speed 'transmission', where the only way to change gears is to stop, put the car on a lift, and install a different gear set (put in a different coil).
Didn't actually say the 2 were the same, simply stated both had a fan base. Both are simpler technologies than their electronic counterparts, and both are still in demand.

I think the mech v. electronic discussion is fairly simple. A mech doesn't break. There are no wires to fuss with and no worries about water damage or short circuits (outside of the hard short which is a rather negligible risk if you use a single 30 amp battery). The simple fact is that circuit boards break. It doesn't matter if you have a 2000 dollar computer or a 50 dollar PV. At some point that sucker is gonna die. Mech mods are beautifully simple and will always be. It's Occam's razor in action.
I mostly agree with you, but still dislike that argument. I'd say that a more accurate statement is that there are less single points of failure in a mech than in a regulated mod.
I still don't know what a mech is but y'all have convinced me I need one.

Depends on the user I guess, for some people like myself, clearomizers, cartomizers and ego batteries are completely obsolete. I just don't get any pleasure using those devices anymore even though not too long ago, I really enjoyed using them.
I thoroughly enjoy my mechanical right now, but pretty sure the convenience and consistency of a DNA30 will replace that as my primary device.

Lol. Basically it's a tube (usually metal) that holds a rechargeable battery with a switch and an atomizer connection. You attach your atomizer, hit the switch, and it applies the battery voltage directly to the atomizer without any electronics involved. Works just like a light switch and a light bulb. Switch on, light bulb lights up, switch off, light goes off.
Yup, just like you said, it all depends on the user. I've got a pretty wide range of gear, and even though I have my personal favorites, I can still find some enjoyment in about everything.
Thank you, K_Tech, I better understand this now. Y'all are really amazing for all the innovations you continue to invent. Ecigs have come a very long way since 2007 when I first ordered from a fly by night company called, Smoking Anywhere, off the internet. I ordered a $200 kit with two batteries and extra cartridges. Then their rep called and gave me a "better deal" promising he'd cancel the other order. It was a keep it for 2 wks. refundable trial- anyway I spent another $100. I got only the $100 kit of terrible tasting Red tobacco flavor and sent it back for my refund. What a lesson, I was out $300! I could buy that Provari I want. My point is that I'm glad the industry overcame these shysters and folks like you keep improving, setting higher standards that benefit so many. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose been burned along the way. That would make an interesting thread, glad I got lucky on my next purchase or I'd still be spending $100 a week on analogs.

No of course they wont. Most people including myself will use both on a daily basis.
