Mech-mod (short for mechanical mod) is a type of vaping device that does not contain electronic components, including chips and control boards. Instead, it uses a simple mechanism that allows current to be directly supplied from the battery to the atomizer. Mech-mods are typically made of metal or brass and do not have built-in protection against short circuit or overheating.

Using mech-mods requires certain knowledge and skills, as they can be dangerous in the wrong hands. To use mech-mods safely, it is necessary to understand Ohm's laws, use appropriate batteries, avoid using too low resistance coils, and follow other safety rules. Mech-mods are usually chosen by experienced users who want to gain more control over their device and customize it to their personal preferences.

A mech mod typically consists of the following basic components:

• A body, which can be made of various materials, such as stainless steel, copper, brass, etc.
• An activation button, which triggers the heating element.
• Contacts, which connect the battery and atomizer.
• A mechanical switch, which blocks the button from being pressed.
• Threads, which are used to connect all the components of the mech mod into a single unit.
• Magnetic locks, which can be used to improve the connection between components.
• A power regulator (if present), which allows the user to regulate the output power of the mech mod.

Mech-mods have several advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of vaping mods. Here are some of them:

Advantages:

• Mech-mods can provide higher power and lower internal resistance than most other types of mods, allowing for more vapor and intensity of flavor.
• They are usually more durable and long-lasting as they do not have electronic components that can break or require replacement.
• Some vapers find that mech-mods give a more rich flavor of the vaping liquid.

Disadvantages:

• Using mech-mods can be dangerous, especially for beginners in vaping, as they lack protection against short circuiting, overheating, or improper battery installation.
• Not all mech-mods have power regulation and other functions that may be useful for experienced vapers.
• Mech-mods can be heavier and less comfortable to use as an everyday vaping device.
• Some mech-mods can be very expensive compared to other types of vaping mods.
