How to use a full mech vape?
Using a full mech vape requires that you know about battery safety, how to properly maintain and clean your mod and using proper coils with the appropriate resistance thru Ohms Law and battery orientation depending on which configuration your mod is running.
What is a mech mod on a dripper vape?
In fact, it’s believed that a Mech mod on a Dripper can give you the best vape possible. By simply pressing the Fire button, you complete a circuit that passes the power of your vape battery through your Mech mod and into your atomizer.
Are mech mods difficult to use?
Using a mech mod can be very daunting at first and there is a ton of things to learn before you use one. There are also many types and they come in all shapes and sizes.
What size battery do I need to power a mech mod?
For a serial Mech mod (also called a Stacked mod), then you have to double the resistance. If you take Sony VTC 5A batteries, then you should never exceed 0.34 ohm.
Is it safe to charge your vape directly?
Charging your batteries directly in your mod is possible with most devices nowadays, but it's always safer to use a dedicated battery charger. A simple charger can cost less than a 60 mL bottle of e-juice!
Why do Mech Mods explode?
If an atomizer draws more current than a battery can safely provide, and there is no electronic cutoff in the device, the battery can overheat and go into thermal runaway. That can cause a fire, or—if the battery can't easily vent the heat—an explosion.
Is Mech Mods safe?
Are Mech Mods Safe? No lithium battery powered device is 100% safe given the amount of energy stored in what is a comparatively small battery. Regulated mods are generally safer than mechanical mods due to their inbuilt safety features that protect against faults such as short circuits.
What's a safe ohm for Mech Mod?
For a parallel mechanical mod with dual batteries, each rated at 20A, the lowest safe resistance is 0.11ohm. But to ensure that you remain safe, build a bit higher; 0.12ohm would be better to ensure that you're vaping safely within the limits of your batteries and not stressing them.
How long does it take for your lungs to heal from vaping?
After one to nine months: clear and deeper breathing gradually returns; you have less coughing and shortness of breath; you regain the ability to cough productively instead of hacking, which cleans your lungs and reduce your risk of infection.
Are Mech mod better than regulated?
Mod enthusiasts prefer mech mods because the vapor production is higher than a regulated mod. In other words, without anything else to power, more of the electrical power of the battery is free to go to the atomizer.
Can a vape mod explode?
Although these incidents appear uncommon, vape fires and explosions are dangerous to the person using the vaping product and others around them. There may be added dangers, for example, if a vape battery catches fire or explodes near flammable gasses or liquids, such as oxygen, propane, or gasoline.
Is it safe to use full Mech vape?
One of the most prevalent issues preventing people from using a full mech vape is safety, particularly battery explosion or battery venting. Battery venting can occur whether you are using a regulated mod or a full mechanical vape mod.
What wattage do Mech Mods vape at?
At 0.40 ohm, you will take 176 watts in the mouth and at 0.50, you will be around 141 watts. If you are looking for a Mech vaping around 100 watts, then you should aim for a resistance of 0.71 ohm. And beware, we are talking about the stacked.
What wattage should I vape at 0.5 ohm?
For example, a 0.5 ohm coil will vape best at 15 watts up to 50 watts. Another place you can look to find out the appropriate wattage range is on the coil itself.
What wattage should I vape at 0.2 ohm?
0.3 ohms - 40 watts to 90 watts. 0.2 ohm coils - 40 watts to 100 watts.
What wattage should I vape at 0.7 ohm?
The New Aspire Nautilus Mesh Coils are 0.7ohm and recommended wattage range is 20 – 25 watts. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible again the new Nautilus Mesh Coils raise the bar when it comes to MTL / Hybrid vaping again.
Battery Safety When Vaping
I’m going to be talking about “direct battery” mechanical mods, also known as “faux hybrid” mods, “hybrid-look” mods, or incorrectly known as “hybrid” mods.
When eCigs EXPLODE
It is believed that a disproportionate number of mech mod explosions have been from the uneducated use of a direct battery mod with a juice attachment with a common 510 connector without an extended center pin … whether that be a common clearomizer tank or RBA.

You'll notice the vape getting weaker once you get near 3.4 volts. Get a multimeter for 15 bucks and test a few times when you start noticing a drop off, you'll get a feel for when to charge.

I believe below 3.2 can affect the battery. As in shortening the life and such.
Rader2146 Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
With quality IMRs the minimum voltage is 2.5v. You will definitely know that its time to charge before you get that low.

Everyone is different...but normally I like to use 18350 batteries since I like my mods to be short. Every 2ml I vape I change the battery. With 18650 batteries I change the batteries after every 4ml I vape. I get a very consistent vape this way. I never get close to the 3.2v level when I have checked with my voltmeter.
xformulax Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
i can feel my vape drop off around 3.6-3.7v, thats when i swap batteries... occasionally i'll use the multimeter to test, and without fail they'll be at 3.6-3.7v... after a while of mech vaping it comes pretty naturally.

What is the downside of a full mech mod?
Battery tech, as energy storage and efficacy evolves, full mech mods benefit the most from battery tech, the downside is full mech vape mods are heavily reliant to battery technology. A modder can make his mod with as much less of a voltage drop as possible by using quality highly conductive materials but the mod will always be limited by the battery.
Do mods have chips?
In regulated mods, the chip will detect this and apply measures to prevent you from exceeding the limit. In full mechanical mods, there is no chip to do this for you.
Do all Vapes Explode?
If you've landed here because you googled the phrase "do vapes explode", then this is the bit you may want to switch on for. In general, vapes don't explode, but some vapes COULD explode if a certain type are subjected to specific factors.
Tip 1 : Use a battery case when not in use
A battery case, is a little rubber sleeve or alternatively a plastic box, that shields the vape cell from damage, and your legs from skin grafts, when it's not being used. You see, vape cells, are what we call an unprotected battery. They can, if left loose in your pocket with keys and coins, form an unstable electronic circuit.
Tip 2 : Check Your Vape Power
This one needs no fancy pictures, or terrible ones at that. Mech mod safety simplified. One of the most common reasons for pocket bombs, is the vape being powered continuously with no safety shut off.
Tip 3 : Ohms Law and vape cell safety
The complicated-ish bit. Ohms Law is a physics 'law' that guides us with how an electronic circuit should operate. Every vape battery is for the most part, a lithium power cell, but with varying characteristics. Some have higher power capacity, some have a higher or lower amp rating.
Why does my mod battery fail?
There is a danger inherent in every mechanical mod – the battery. Batteries can fail, due to over-tightening the end-caps of the mod or atomizer. They can also over-discharge due to accidentally pressing the firing pin/button for too long, causing the battery to overheat and potentially burst.
What is a mechanical mod?
Sounds simple, right? A basic mechanical mod is a tube of metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or brass. Along with the tube, there’s a firing pin that allows for the current in the battery to reach the attached atomizer/cartomizer/clearomizer – causing the coil (s) to heat up and vaporize the juice.
Is a mech mod harmful?
They are basic, simple, and potentially harmful.
Can you use multiple batteries in a telescoping mod?
Depending on the mod, you can be limited to the battery size that you use. Of course, if you acquire a mod that is telescoping, then you can use multiple battery sizes, making your mod far more versatile.
Do you need a lock for a firing pin?
Always make sure that there is a lock for the firing pin/button. The most common are those that are reverse threaded and require an unscrew to lock the firing pin/button. You don’t want to fall asleep with your mod firing continuously, after all, do you?
Can you buy a mechanical mod without seeing it first?
Never buy a mechanical mod without seeing it first. And by that, I mean you need to be able to get your hands on the mod before purchasing it. Think of it this way, just because your moms Ford Fusion is amazing, it doesn’t mean the one you’re buying won’t be free from defects either.
What are box style mods made of?
Box style mechanical mods have lost popularity, but many companies still specialize in making them. They can be made from wood, Ultem, Delrin, and even metal. The appeal of a box-style mech is the battery options. Box style mechs can have a single battery, dual, or even quad battery designs.
What is a mech mod built with?
Some are built with a potentiometer to control the power. The most popular of these is probably the Hexohm. Unregulated mods are a great way to “test” the idea of a mech mod. However, it is still important to follow normal safety guidelines.
What is an unregulated mod?
Unregulated mods are in a league of their own. While your standard mech doesn’t have any safety features in place, unregulated mods usually do. Just like a mech, you hit a button and the mod will immediately fire. The difference is there is circuitry built-in.
What is regulated device?
A regulated device will ensure your ohm load is in the safest range, and there are no hard shorts in your atomizer. Also important is the type of batteries to use. You only want to use a high amperage battery, and you need to buy from a trusted source and company.
Why are Kennedy mods so expensive?
I know clones are cheaper. But that could easily come at the cost of your safety. The reason a Kennedy Mod costs so much is the superior crafting and quality parts. They are handmade and tested using calibrated machinery. Saving some cash is not worth the risk of your safety.

Mechanical Mods or “Mech Mods” are one of the oldest and most simple ways to vape. However, they come with a few caveats for becoming a proficient user….
What is a switch contact?
The contacts are usually copper or silver plated and the contact is usually held in place with magnets or springs. The switch contact makes a connection directly with your battery. The battery is connected to your atomizer’s 510 connection. When the switch is hit, it completes the circuit and fires the mod.
