What is the difference between a box mod and a mechanical mod?

With a box mod, you can run the battery either in parallel or in series. The mech mod using batteries in series will have these installed side by side in a similar configuration. The end result will be two batteries operating as one that doubles the potential power output.

How do mechanical mods work?

How Do Mechanical Mods Work? Mech mods use a simple process to produce vapor. The battery is in contact with both the top and bottom caps of the mod, and when it is activated, current flows into the heating coil. This circuit is all that is needed to power the mod and make it possible for you to vape.

What ohms are safe for Mech Mods?

Parallel

3.7 V / 0.1 Ohm = 37A Required (UNSAFE TO USE)
3.7 V / 0.2 Ohm = 18.5A Required (SAFE TO USE)
3.7V / 0.3 Ohm = 12.3A Required (SAFE TO USE)

What is full Mech in vape?

In full mech vape mods / mechanical mods there are two configurations. The Parallel Mod and the Series Mod, both are using dual batteries. While the voltage is multiplied by the number of batteries, the amp draw remains at that of a single battery.

What is a mech mod?

Mech mod is simply a shortened term for ‘mechanical mod’. It is a type of homemade vape device that supplies pure battery power to an atomiser. A mech mod vape can seem complex and confusing at first glance, but they are actually the simplest vape mods in terms of mechanical design.

Is mechanical mod safe?

Are Mechanical Mods Safe? Mechanical mods are generally safe if used correctly. However, many of the faults that do happen are as a result of the battery. As mentioned, mechanical mods do not have any circuit boards, so there is nothing to keep the device from fully defecting if there is a malfunction.

Can Mech Mods explode?

To those whose vaping knowledge is based solely on alarming news stories, e-cigarette thermal events like fires and explosions may seem like common occurrences, but they are actually very rare. Among commercial vape devices, only unregulated mechanical mods pose a serious risk for accidents to inexperienced users.

Do more wraps equal higher ohms?

The more wraps you make, the higher the resistance in OHMs – as a rule of thumb, you want to be using at least 4 wraps per coil. For beginners it is advisable to use at least 6 wraps in a coil. However, if you build a dual-coil ie. two coils in the same dripper or rebuildable tank, your resistance will HALF.

How does a box mod work on an e-cig?

A box mod is the battery box which powers the atomizer in an e-cig device. I refer to my mod as a hybrid boxfet, in that Im using a mechanical button, which is glued onto an aluminium rivet. The rivet end presses a lever style micro switch soldered on the gate of a IRLB3034 mosfet which does the heavy duty current carrying.

How to build your own vape box mod?

The first step before you can start building your own mod would be to ask yourself what kind of mod you want to build. You can split it up into the following categories. They contain a chip with some safety features and furthermore they let you adjust the power by pressing a button or turning a knob.

Do you need a regulated mod for a vape?

If you want to adjust the power with a chip, you have to build a regulated mod. Otherwise it is up to you whether you build a mechanical or semi-mechanical mod. If you use a Semi-Mechanical or purely mechanical mod, you need to make sure that the battery voltage does not drop below 3V (better 3.5V).

What kind of mods are there for vapes?

We have seen the wattage wars, sleek pod-style vapes, and all kinds of atomizers. But one category that has been going strong for years is Mechanical Mods or “Mech” mods.
