The just mechs thread

[Sweets]

To all you current mech users out there.

When I started vaping one of the major issues with regulated mods was the long firing delay. Some had a delay of almost a second in temp control. For this reason, many of us used mech mods because of their almost instant firing capabilities. I used mech mods for a few years but have completely stopped using them. Please convince me to start using them again, or even get a new shiny one. I am looking for any good excuse for me to justify the move.

The slow firing of regulated mods ended a few years ago. To be certain I checked out the cheapest new mod reviewed by DJLsb Vapes, who is probably the most tech-savvy reviewer. The response (firing) time was 12ms. To put this in context, the speed of a human eye blink is 100 to 400 milliseconds. In other words, even cheap regulated mods fire more than 30 times faster than the slowest blink.

We also used to say that mech mods hit harder. This may have been true in the distant vaping past but one can set regulated mods to wattage/voltage that would melt my ears off.

The two reasons I have raised are the main reasons I stopped using mech mods apart from safety concerns.

Please show me that I was wrong. I have no problem with eating crow as I have been married for over 30 years.

Once and OG always an OG. I have completely left regulated about 3 + years ago. I feel sexy with a mech. They cant break. Drop it, ding it, man put it in some other hole in the ground and come back next year, take it out and vape.

Mech are like AK47's.

Besides looking sexy, you have to maintain them.. Look after ur 1940 shevy. Still built with real strong material and cant break. Todays cars are more plastic than anything. Drop ur regulated, ull probably need a new one sooner or later.( i dont hate, btw)

In a nut up the butt... I love the responsibility that comes with a mech and the satisfaction that comes after you have serviced it. All shiny, Q20 in the threads... Hmmmm.. Smelling like a damn mechanic shop..... Sigh... Love.

Such a pity that the mod maker emigrated, Chris made some banging mods through the years.
