I started vaping several years ago. Back before tanks or regulated mods. Pretty dangerous as there was no real caution about Ohms law. Even the guys in the shops would build coils and not think twice about checking resistance or the battery in the mod. I built my own coils and used a mech mod with RDA clones, not paying any attention to the battery or resistance of the coils that I built. In hindsight, VERY foolish and dangerous... There weren't any forums around to educate folks looking to start vaping.
For whatever reason, mostly frustration with constant dripping and early tank designs, I went back to analogs. Fast forward to today, I quit the analogs a few weeks ago and started vaping again. I have a couple 60w Eleaf mods and old Aspire Gen1 tanks which got very frustrating pretty quick. I wound up buying an Xfeng along with a couple Falcon tanks which were fine. My old Samsung 30Q INR batts weren't holding much of a charge so I ordered 4 Orbtronics 3120 mAh - 30A batteries which have been great. https://www.orbtronic.com/30a-18650-3120mah-battery-high-drain-rechargeable-flat-top
I recently decided to purchase another mod and 4 more batteries. Accidentally ordered these 3500 mAh hybrids which actually have good reviews from vapers, however, they are only 10A continuous. So, should I send these things back? (I'm pretty sure I know the answer) Current build on my RDA is running 22 amps @ .14 ohm and 60 watts. Keeping in mind it's a dual battery mod. :https://www.orbtronic.com/3500mah-18650-imr-battery-high-drain-rechargeable-orbtronic-li-ion
At this point, not counting my old stuff, I'm up to 2 Baby Beast tanks, a Resa Prince, 2 Falcons and just received a Mesh Pro RDA. I don't like sticking to the same flavors day after day, which is why I have so many tanks. Finally decided an RDA or two would make things a lot easier and cheaper to change flavors (thinking a squonk mod is in the near future). I'm done buying premade SMOK coils. Already ordered rebuild-able decks for the SMOK tanks and may even give some away to other smokers that I know.
Sorry for the long read. One more question. What exactly is the attraction to mech mods. With the regulated devices available today, why would one choose a mech mod over a good regulated device? I can't think of how a mech would outperform a regulated mod in any aspect other than longevity. Obviously a mech mod doesn't have a board or circuits to fry.. But other than that, what's the point?
If you made to the end, thanks for reading.
