Class Purpose: To teach the basics of Mech Mods/Rebuildables to potential new users so they can understand how they work andcomprehend how very different they are in order to made a
safe and sound investment into their new hobby.
II.
These are potentially dangerous items, and for your personal safety, you need to know a little about them before you become an owner of one. 1.
These are advanced items and we want you to be satisfied with your new vape and without some training, we can almost guarante e you that you won't be. 2.
You must build your own coils rather than purchase pre made ones and that takes some extra knowledge that you may not have pi cked up in your life's travels. 3.
We want to be sure that we have done all we can do to prepare you for ownership. We also suggest you do plenty of research on your own and practice so you retain the
important information that you need to know.
4.
Why should I take this class? A.
Mechanical Mod (aka "Mech Mod") is simply a covering for a battery with a button that completes a circuit. 1.
Mech Mods are different from other batteries because they have absolutely no protections built in. 2.
Mech Mods "seem" more simple than any of the other electronic cigarette batteries but they require knowledge to fill in where the other batteries have built in protections
against things like atomizer shorts, reversed polarity, _________

Do I need a 510/eGo adapter? (a)
510/eGo 2)
Connection B)
Common battery sizes: 18350 | 18490 | 18500 | 18650 (a)
The first two numbers is the diameter (18mm) and the next three numbers refers to their capacity (how long they hold a charge ). (b)
Newest battery size is 26650 (26mm diameter) (c)
Fit various sizes of batteries 1)
Mech Mods often come with various tubes that you put together or remove to accommodate the common battery sizes. 2)
Kick tube - accomodates a Kick/Crown, a small chip that turns a mechanical mod into a variable voltage device 3)

What is a Mechanical Mod B.
RDA: Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (no tank to hold juice, must drip new e-liquid onto the coil/s after every 2-3 hits) A)
RTA: Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (Has chamber to hold quantities of e-liquid) B)
RBA: Rebuildable Atomizer (General term) 1.
Positive and Negative Posts A)
Coils B)
Wicking C)

Hybrid A)
510 B)
Connections 3.
Comes in a variety of gauges to achieve different resistance 1)
Generally thicker gauge wire will give you lower resistance while thinner wire gives you higher resistance. 2)
Why choose Kanthal? 3)
Aim for smooth, kink free coil a)
Can be evenly space wraps or close together wraps that touch - not a combination of the two. Aim for consistancy. b)
Mini screwdriver i.
Q tip shaft ii.
Drill bit shaft (this is nice because you have a solid number for your size (1/8, 3/32, 3/16, ect) iii.
Use a form to wrap around to achieve the most consistant coils. Commonly used are: c)
Use a propane torch or the power from your mech mod to make your coils firmer and less likely to lose shape (and to burn off any pollutants from your wire). d)
The actual wrap 4)
Can be used on nearly all devices i.
1+ Ohms a)
Can be used on Mech Mods and higher wattage devices i.
Sub Ohm (less than 1.0 ohm) b)
Resistance 5)
BEFORE you attach your newly build coil/RBA to your Mech Mod, test its resistance on an ohmmeter. Be sure you are using a battery that can handle sub ohm if
you are aiming for resistance under 1.0.
a)
Record the resistance of your wraps so you can refer back and learn (i.e. - 28 gauge Kanthal wrapped around a mini screwdriver with 7 wraps results in a coil
with 1.1 ohm resistance)
b)
Testing 6)
Kanthal Resistance Wire A)
Basic Rebuilding 4.
What is an RBA? C.
Mech Mods do not have the protections that the variable voltage devices do and have much more potential to become dangerous quickly. 1.
You must do a fair amount of testing and practice to become proficient at the skills to rebuild coils and achieve the type of vape you are looking for safely. 2.
Why are these considered advanced? D.

Mech Mods do not have the protections that the variable voltage devices do and have much more potential to become dangerous quickly. 1.
You must do a fair amount of testing and practice to become proficient at the skills to rebuild coils and achieve the type of vape you are looking for safely. 2.
You require an advanced set of tools to use an RBA/Mech Mod. 3.
Rebuilding crosses the line from just being a vaper to being a vaping hobbyist. 4.
Build your vape exactly like you like it. 1.
Your coils often last a very long time with only the need to replace the wicking. 2.
If you are a "cloud chaser" this is the only way to vape. 3.
The Pros E.
Can get expensive. 1.
Can be dangerous. 2.
Can be time consuming/frustrating. 3.
Requires an extra set of knowledge you likely don't have yet. 4.
The Cons F.
