VV/VW and Mechanical Mods help?

[xblackwhitex]

Currently I use just a basic Vision Spinner 2 and Kangertech T3S/Mini Protank 3's. I'm trying to get into like mech mods and VV/VW mods and RDAs.

Someone told me I couldn't use an RDA with a VV/VW mod and I would have to use a mech mod. Is this true?

Whats the benefit of using a mechanical mod over a VV/VW mod and vice versa?

What is a good coil resistance/ohms to start?

Someone lied to you or they have no idea what they're talking about. Rda's work fine with variable power mods. You actually have more options when you can adjust the voltage you're supplying the atomizer as opposed to a mech that has fixed voltage. A variable wattage mod that can go to 70 watts or higher would be a great place to start for powering an rda.

Yes you can use a RDA on a VW mod...this of course is using a VW mod that can fire the build in your RDA...That said I use several VW mods that can safely fire down to .1 ohm, like the IPV3..
Mechs can also be used with a RDA..but here you have to be certain your battery can safely fire your build..
Suggest studying up on ohms law and learn a little bit about basic electronics before attempting to build an RDA used on a mech..
Advantages of using a VW mod are numerous.. One is you can dial in that perfect hit by bumping the wattage up or down.. Another is the built in saftey features, like shorted atomizer and overheat protection....a good VW mod these days has a Temp Control Mode allowing Ti and Nickel builds to further enhance that perfect vape.. Also most VW mods deliver the same power to your chosen atomizer as the batt wears down.. These things are not available in a mech mod...
A good .3-.4 ohm coil I think would be a great place to start with either mod...if building for a mech get a good ohm meter to test your builds ..most VW mods have a built-in ohm meter..again learn ohms law and how it pertains to picking the right batt for your build...(mech)
You've asked alot here but I hope this helped you some.. Good luck and vape safe

Yeah I was looking at a bunch of peoples builds and I was thinking about doing .3 ohms. I also found some RTAs (Eleaf Lemo and Kangertech Subtank are the 2 I am thinking about getting) that I might do instead of a RDA simply because I want the convenience of not having to drip all the time. But I think I'm going to get a paragon v3 as my mech mod and idk for the vv/vw.

Thank you for the information.

If you want to take direct lung hits, no tank gives you the build options or offers the level of performance that a well setup rda does. Rda build decks are larger and the wicking doesn't have to fight the vacuum of a tank. Rda clones can be had for as little as $10. You should try one. Get a tank also if you want, but definately get an rda. Just my opinion. Good luck.

ok there are major differences using a mech mod and a VV/VW

when using a mech mod you have to build for the mod and what you are trying to accomplish. You must be familiar with ohms law and do some basic math to make sure you dont blow your mod up, or do something dangerous.

Mech mods are great because they are purely mechanical and technically can last forever and a day, you can make one yourself if your good with your hands and creative. Even if they regulate the hell out of this industry a mech mod can be home made and work as great as any fancy mech mod you can purchase.

But you have to know what you are doing to be safe with these.

A VV/VW mod that can go up to 200w and has TC and all the fancy things is usually SAFER and can do just about anything a mech mod can do and then some. They have built in safety features to prevent user error. Mech mods do not. If they regulate the hell out of this industry expect the prices of these type of mods to rise significantly and become less available. These types of mods need replaced eventually, built in battery mods last 3-8 months for most depending on usage. Ones with replaceable batteries can last much much longer if not dropped, soaked, or other wised damaged and are well built to begin with, but eventually the electronics of it could just wear out.

You can use practically any rda, tank clearomizer, etc with either a mech or regulated mod. here is the trick. you have to know with your mech mod if the batteries you are using CAN FIRE THE COIL YOURSELF and IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. the regulated mod knows this already for you and will not fire a coil that is say too low in ohms for its abilities to handle safely

Now by all means do not think I mean mechs are dangerous, they can be and so can a gun, you just have to know how to use one to be safe.

And a regulated mod can be just as dangerous if it is built poorly, damaged, used very incorrectly, etc.

In general it is SAFER to use a regulated mod because of all its built in safety features. Mech mods are just as safe if you are knowledgeable about things like ohm's law. So if you choose to go mech, do a lot of research on the internet especially here on VU. Ask questions, make sure you know what you are doing FIRST. And if you go regulated, don't think you do not need to know anything, still do some research and understand the limitations and abilities of the mod you choose
