What Is a Mechanical Mod and Why Should You Use It?

Mechanical mods become more and more popular among experienced vapers these days. This is the type of a vaping design that doesn’t have any electrical components in its construction. It is usually a tube (less often a box) made of metal, which also has a firing pin that connects the battery and the atomizer, making the coils heat up and vaporize the e-liquid. This type of vaping mods is simple, basic, but also potentially dangerous since the battery can malfunction and bust unexpectedly. However, the majority of modern models feature protective mechanisms, so don’t worry too much.

Now, with the overflowing range of adjustable and customizable electrical mods on the market, mechanical ones still keep their popularity. Why? And why should you try a mechanical mod?

The answer is simple:

better vapor, better flavor, and more power

You see, when you vape using the unregulated battery, you can fire your coils up no matter how low their resistance is. This leads to the e-juice evaporating faster, providing stronger and deeper flavor, thicker vapor, and larger clouds.

However, there’s one important thing you must keep in mind. Mechanical mods are not for beginners. I’m not saying that, as a beginner, you are not worthy to try such a device. This is simply the matter of safety. In order to use a mechanical mod, you absolutely must have a solid understanding of how it works as well as know the battery amperes limits and the Ohm’s law.

I don’t recommend using a mechanical mod if you’re a beginner. But if your desire is just too strong and you can’t fight it, at least do thorough research. I mean, very thorough. Just to be on the safe side.

Safety Always Comes First

I know you know what you’re doing. However, we all can be a bit inattentive sometimes. So, I just want to remind you of the basic and the most important safety tips:

If you are clumsy sometimes, it’s better to get yourself the model with a protective lock on a firing button. Just in case.

Always make sure that your batteries aren’t under- or overcharged . Simply check their volts, and you are good to go. If you draw too many amps from the battery, it might cause some serious safety issues.

Clean the air vents regularly. They are your best helpers when it comes to safety and battery’s malfunction. You can simply take the battery out and blow into the mod from the end. This will remove all the dust from the vent holes, allowing them to work effectively.

Always pay your attention to the mod’s temperature during vaping. If it starts heating up, that might be a signal that the battery becomes dangerous. You should stop using it right away.
