What’s the difference between mechanical mods and regulated mods and how do I spot the difference?
Mech-Mods
The term unregulated refers to how the mods works. It refers to the “regulation” of electric current that is drawn from the battery or batteries.
A mech-mod is a vapor device that heats your atomizer coil with current drawn directly from your batteries without any “regulation” imposed by any type of circuitry. No set wattage. No limits. No safety protections.
The coils that you make probably will not last as long in comparison to using them on a regulated mod. The risk of burning e-juice and frying coils are the least of your concerns.
There are other risks of using unregulated mods that are far more serious. For example, with an unregulated mod there is no ability to read your atomizer resistance. If your atomizer resistance is such that it will draw enormous, unsafe current from your battery, then it can possibly vaporize the metal coil.
That’s not good. You need to look at the ohms before placing a tank on a mech-mod! The ohms should register between 1.0 -1.15 ohms, nothing more and nothing less!
Unregulated mods battery life don’t last nearly as long as even a start up kit and are often less used by vapors.
Advantages of Mechanical Mods
No delicate firmware or software
No circuitry to break down
The simplicity means there is not a lot that can break down
No menu system to navigate
No restriction of power output to your atomizer
Regulated Mod
A regulated mod is a vaping device where the electric current from the battery is controlled by a processor or chip. The chip, also sometimes called a board, typically offers an array of user options.
To sum it up in one sentence, a regulated mod is a vape device that uses technology to customize your vaping experience. Such as bypassing the system, setting your own wattage, having up to 5 different memory mods for your required wattage and of course temperature control.
Temperature control is a setting that identifies the metal properties used in the coil and the correct allocated temperature to heat the coil in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.
Most regulated mods have a 10-second cut-off. The cut-off feature will end the current after 10 seconds – all regulated dual battery mods will most likely have a screen and a positive (+) & a negative(-) button with a power button.
The + & – is used to set your own wattage or degrees Celsius.
Regulated mods are most commonly used and battery life last far more then unregulated mod as the circuit the batteries are generating, is regulated by the switch placed in the mods, this is why regulated mods generally cost more then unregulated.
All start up kits are regulated too.
Many of the mod exploding stories that the media portrays, are really battery thermal runaways. Sometimes it involves batteries in a mech-mod being used by a vaper. More often it is the case of a battery in a pocket or purse coming in contact with other metals like coins and keys. If both ends of a battery come in contact with metal it will discharge power as long as those contacts remain in place.
Never store loose batteries in a pocket or purse. Keep them in a battery case
Usually I don’t read article on blogs, however I
would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to check out and do so!

Good day! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post
reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this.
I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
