Are Mech Mods Going The Way of The DoDo?

[Jeffb]

With the advent of high watt VV/VW units, do you think mech mods will soon go away?

[Earthling789]

I seriously doubt they will go away... mostly because so many of them just look so darn nice

 

But, for me... yeah, mine have been cleaned, polished, and stored away ... waiting for the time when I can convert my old cigar humidor into a "smoking" display case for my mechs

 

I've seen the light on "regulated" devices... which is the key to consistent vaping, regardless of high-power.  I'll take my IPV-mini's over a mech any day of the week... even the V1, 30W models (which are in rotation with Cloupor minis as my daily rigs)!

But...But...What About the Apocalypse???
When the simple mech will be the only reliable system left.
Nemi's used like money!

I Jest.

I save back one battery with a 3.7v charge for my first morning vape in my Nemesis.
1.5 ohms = 9 watts.  Then I put in a fresh battery.

Could use a Kick, but where's the Fun in that!

I think Mechs will always have a place. They may just not be as mainstream as they once were. I have one now and do not plan on having any more. If I do get one it will be because this one I have is no longer usable. My daily in a 40watt DNA and it is all I need to be happy.

I hope not, and im will be looking or pieces with great engravings  more art work

[Compenstine]

I think you will have that Jake. I see just the more high end ones staying in the market. I think the clones of the mechs are what will dwindle over time.

To me it seems like mechs are the manual transmission while VV/VW are the automatics. There is a place for both but just more VV/VW on the roads these days.

Not a chance,,

I love my manual transmission & prefer them over automatics in Vaping as well as Vehicles...

just more DURABLE!!!!

No way i prefer mechs over any type of vaping still. The simplicity and beauty of a mech just makes it my go to device most all the time.

Saw a Copper Nemesis on FT in the morning and by the next day,
SOLD OUT!

Wanted the red tube set for the Nemesis...SOLD OUT.

Same with most of the other colored tube sets.

For a dying breed, they sure are selling well.

Actually with other options perhaps the authentic mech mods will be priced more reasonably and more people will purchase them.

I hope so,I want an authentic Mutant V2 26650

Mechs will always have a place with me, as will VV/VW devices. I just use them for different roles.

 

 

My Sigelei 150/Subtank combo is perfect for all day no-hassle vaping. I use my Nemesis & CLT V2 for desert type flavors after a meal or whenever I want to try something different. I also use the mech whenever I don't feel like carrying around a huge box mod. 

 

Its actually the low powered VV/VW devices which won't fire sub ohm coils and the tanks with restrictive air flow that I find are no longer useful to me. The Provari/Kayfun combo above is a good example. Just sold them recently.

Mech mods may not go away but all of mine are sitting collecting dust.

 

I have a V3 Tronix Flip, a Wood Fairy Mod, and a copper Viggo . All are original. Since I don't use them at all anymore I may get with VT admin and help set up a contest of some sort and give one or all them away (don't tell my wife she would kill me as I spent a lot of money on them). Sort of my way of giving back to the vaping community. I don't know, I guess I could just sell them. Still mulling over the idea. I return back stateside in 3 weeks so hopefully I will have an idea what I want to do.
