Is this because of safety reasons? More cloud? Can you please explain?
They both have a place in my heart. 
A little of safety and a little versatility....i dont have to build a specific coil for a specific tank to get the vape i want....Whatever the coil comes out to i can adjust it to what i like heat and vapor wise.
Also you get a consistent vape on a regulated...not a strong vape then a gradual degradation as time goes on like a mech does.
I owned one mech before...a nemesis clone...Put my tank on it and the juice crackled like mad and was just too hot for my liking even with just a 1.8 ohm coil....Went right to an MVP 20w and havent looked back to a mech.
Not that i dont still want to own some form of mech but, it will be in a box form with protection features built in...Smok 50 or maybe a dovpo gx200..And even then i dont see it as my everyday thing.... I Like my regulateds alot.
Awesome! Thank you so much for that.
... and mechs need constant maintenance and as mentioned... the vape changes throughout the the battery life.
Both have their plus's and minus's .... I vape 99% of the time regulated but it's nice to have a mech around because of their reliability ( if maintained ).
Thank you.
I typically vape on my regulated devices for many of the reasons listed above. I have a couple tube mechs around here but they do not see much use. The Reo is the except to the mech regulated debate. the Reo has been worthy of regular use in my primarily regulated rotation.
Guess you dont have a physical job.hmmm... I have never broken one. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
I guess I do. Sorry.
What is it?
Really? You think I am a liar or what? None of your fucking business what I do.
I am not going to argue with you, I was just stating that your statement is not true for ME.
Maybe I just take care of my things better than you do who knows.
Lol, me asking you what your physical job is, is calling you a liar? Little insecure are we. I was just wondering what type of physical job a 53 yr old woman would have... sorry if that offended you.
Didn't offend me at all. There are plenty of women that have physical jobs even older than I am. Gasp!
And if you can't imagine a woman 53 yrs. old doing a physical job I suggest you turn off your computer and look at the real world. Insecurities are not my thing.

You must have been buying crappy, or cheap ones or perhaps you're clumsy or something, or just bad luck of the draw... I've only had one that was a dud ( a really cheap one that I knowingly gambled on )... the others I've got work great... I've even still got a working Vamo v2 from 2012 although it's not in the class of the ones I've gotten over the last year or so.
Your single sided statements are a sure sign of naivety...
I like mech mod more than regulated due to some times on regulated mods out of no where check atomizer pops up and can't vape. Mech mod you can put in any ohm coil it push and shoot ^^ long as you know what your doing mech mods are easyer and it's more compact to carry so for me mech gets +1
Sounds like you are trying to insult me, but in a cowardly sort of way. Grow a pair.

Regulated.
I'm not talking about cheap Chinese boxes
they have their place since i have a 150 watt Sigelei but its running @ 35 watts with a Subtank.and I don't have to charge it for 4 or 5 days.
I'm talking regulated as in this:
A 120 watt raptor chip homemade in a hammond 1590B Box.
This fires like your mech does the first time when you have it set perfectly.
Only i'm firing this at .3 ohms 6 volts.
It fires like your mech does the first time when you have it set perfectly but it fires that way ALL DAY.
There is a reason these thing are banned from cloud comps.
If only one guy had this he would win. every time.
It's no longer about the build or your choice in batteries it's even power for the life of the pair of batteries.
When I got my first real regulated mod. A Craving Vapor Hex Ohm V1 which is in a smaller hammond box with a 50 watt Okr t-10 Chip I put my mech down and never picked it up again. Its like the difference between a moped and a harley.

Good to know.
Wow. Thank you for the pics and analogy
For me I moved on from mechs, not because I don't like them its because I find it more SAFER, and you have the option of adjusting ur watts/volts to produce flavorful vape.......
I do own hybrid boxes as well...
Like what I said I moved on....
If I work in a construction site I will probably buy me a custom all SS regulated box mod...IM JUST SAYING

For me, dust always finds its way onto the chip and into the screen. With a mech I can just take it apart and clean it. Dont get me wrong, I use regulated as well, just not at work. If I could only have one, it would be a mech.

Check out the E-LVT 30 Watt. Problem gone.
And I think they are coming out with a 50 watt Mini version of it as well.
I'm in an office about half the time and out working on one of our properties half the time...my regulated box has been going everywhere with me lately, though my mech used to do the same. Box has survived some drops and knocks, but I wouldn't take it up on a roof with me, leave it out if I'm painting, or have it in my pocket while I'm clearing brush...I wouldn't do it with a mech either, but i'd probably be more comfortable with one.
I guess if you're on a big new build site and can't get back to your truck for a smoke/water break a mech might make more sense. But I wouldn't say that's the case for every physical job...
Thanks for the idea, but I am very happy with my mechs.
Very true. Here is my situation. I do mainly commercial work in downtown SF. My truck is usually many blocks away from where I am working, parked on some side street or in a lot.
+1 I have the Dovpo GX-200, like it as my at home mod for doing fun coils. Have two regulated with a third in the near future for temperature controlled gaping (iPV 4).
Very informative. Thank you so much.
I have a mix of both, and I guess I would have to say I prefer the Mech more as I love my Reo's. By far my favorite mods out of them all. I dont chase clouds, and I am hard on stuff. I did recently get my first Regulated mods in a few years not long ago and I really like them (Sigelei 150w / IPV Mini 2).
If I was chasing clouds, I for sure would go Regulated for the safety aspect, but thats just me.
My dad used to tell me "I could break a anvil with a rubber hammer".

Mechanical mods for me presently. I feel the lure of regulated mods, but so far I haven't felt the pull strong
enough to make a regulated mod purchase. I'm sure I'll cave eventually. I also work in construction and a
mechanicals durability and longevity serve me well.

I use only mech mods at home and only regulated away from home. I prefer the mech, but away from home want the ease and not having to mess with stuff...it is what it is, there is a reason to have both IMO
