Like playing Motor, camera or any other hobby, vaping is also a personal hobby that requires players to have thorough research and study to have the best and safest experiences.
In vape, specifically Mech mod, the structure is simple and not sophisticated, but powerful like a small monster. Playing Mech mod looks easy, but to have the best experience while still being safe is not simple at all.
First, what is a mech mod ...
Basically, Mech mod, also known as mechanical machine , is a type of vape body that does not contain any circuit board, cannot adjust the output power but uses electricity directly from the battery.
A battery has a capacity of about 75W when full, when playing on a mech mod there is no adjustment mechanism, the battery has how much when the circuit is connected to discharge that much . It is very strong so to control it according to the user's wishes, experience in adjusting the type of coil is very important.
To put it simply, a Mech mod is like a mechanical camera, without any adjustment mechanism, requiring you to do everything manually. And to do this, you need to have a certain understanding of the operating mechanism of the mech mod as well as safety rules when using it.
What is the difference between mech mod and box mod and unregulated mod?
After knowing the concept, you will wonder what is the difference between a mech mod and a box mod and an unregulated mod, right?
Mechanical mod has no comfort, there is no such thing as safety if you don't have knowledge.
As mentioned above, Box mod , also known as regulated mod, contains a circuit board and chip to adjust machine features such as adjusting power, changing operating modes... In particular, box mod also contains safety mechanisms, with certain resistance and power limits. If your coil resistance is lower or higher than the allowable resistance limit, the machine will report an error and not work. The machine will also not work in case of battery failure, not recognizing the atomizer...
Unregulated mod is a semi-mechanical type of machine, which does not use electronic circuit to adjust the power but can use a potentiometer. There is a safety circuit and even a signal light. This type of device is more powerful, safer than the basic mech mod, but the adjustment ability is less than the box mod.
Basic misunderstanding on mech mod
Mech mods are often thought of as cylindrical machines, which is incorrect. Some electronic circuit box mods still have cylindrical shapes. And conversely, there are many box-shaped mech mods. You can only know when you look closely at its mechanism and features.
The switch of the mech mod is mostly a spring switch or a magnetic switch. It is even just a button mounted on a piece of copper and works on the flexibility of the copper. On the mech mod, just connect the circuit and the battery will discharge. You need to master the mechanism of the button, in case the button is stuck, you need to cut the circuit, understanding the button mechanism will help you know exactly what to do.
The material of the mech mod is stainless steel, brass, silver, copper or titanium... for machines that use the mechanism of transmitting electricity through the body. Some mechs can use electric wires or metal sheets such as copper sheets inside the case to conduct electricity.
To make the mech mod work, you just need to press the button to connect the internal circuit, the mech mod will directly push the battery current straight into the burner. Very simple, right? Like a mechanical camera, to use the mech mod you need to fully understand how it works.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Mech mod?
The biggest advantage of mech mod is the limitlessness, vapers can freely create to change their experience when using. Do you want sub ohm with extremely low resistance coil? Mech mod can meet the demand while box mod will stop working because the coil exceeds the allowable resistance limit. Do you want to play with smoke to the fullest with a strange coil set? Mech mod can also meet your needs.
However, this unlimitedness is also a huge disadvantage of mech mods. Because there is no safety mechanism, users have absolutely no idea when their build exceeds the safety level and becomes dangerous. Mech mods also consume a lot of battery because they can continuously drain the battery in a short time. This is also the reason why Mech mods are only for vapers who have experience and a certain understanding of battery safety and Ohm's law.
Another thing is that compared to box mods, mech mods are much more expensive, especially high-end mech mods. You will also need to regularly replace e-juice and batteries because mech mods drain these two resources very quickly.
Things to note when using mech mod
Always make sure you lock the switch, especially the reverse threaded ones, you have to turn it back to lock the switch. This is to prevent the mech mod from running by itself due to something pressing on the switch when not in use.
Regularly check the vent holes of the mech mod.
Make sure the battery you are using is not overcharged or nearly discharged. If the battery is frequently used until it is almost depleted, its lifespan will be reduced. If it is completely depleted, discard it. Do not use a battery with a torn or scratched casing.
Mech mod, a device that operates on the fundamental laws of electricity and heat, with no power adjustment, no active warning. You have the confidence in your manhood to dominate things that were never born to obey.
If you are a beginner, I would recommend not to go for a mech mod right away. You can read more about the vape buying journey in this link.
