Why do people use mechs?

[shnazzle]

I've had a mech autofire. Very early in my mech days

It wasn't fun and I was lucky
A) because, as I was new, I had a relatively high resistance build. So it fired for 10-15 seconds but that didn't get it to blow.
B) because I caught it on time. It cost me burnt fingers but I managed to undo the atty.

Had it blown, it would likely have shot shrapnel into my heart, as I had the mech in my breast pocket.
The cause; the battery wrap pulled away slightly at the bottom.

Why do I still exclusively use my mech you may ask...?

I really enjoy the hit. I enjoy building it. I enjoy the complexities of it.

I would NEVER recommend a mech over a reg mod though. The same way that if I enjoyed doing parkour across high-rises, I wouldn't recommend it.

It requires care, knowledge, patience, maturity and acceptance of risk.

It has been a while, so I was having a quiet vape under the verandah the other day and a thought crossed my mind .... I wondered if people are still using mechs ....

Wow! That's good mileage.
My first ever proper mod back in August 2014 was a Vapor Shark DNA30, which died inside a week and was replaced with a pair of rDNA30s. I remember Brandon of Evolv telling Phil Busardo in 2014-5 that no vaper would ever need more than 30W of power ... how right he was.

I've just dug out a vapour flask DNA 40 squonker conversion for a fellow ape to tinker with.

Mechs where the beginning and they are simple and reliable so I'd never want to see the end of them. I don't use them as I'm clumsy but I have one in the vapeapocolypse box.
I would like to see more full safety and instructional manuals as simon G said.
It did worry me when the wave of mech squonkers hit the high street.
