Today I want to comment on the Mech Pro by Geek vape.
I have never owned a plain "Box Mod" with no electronic features at all. (Except for the Noisy Cricket 1 which I dislike completely.) So when I saw this on sale, in a kit form, I decided to go for it.
Off the bat, I generally don't enjoy "Kits". But I enjoyed seeing such positive reviews on this that I wanted one to experience for myself. It felt so good in my hands in the vape shop.
The kit gives you the mod with the Medusa 25mm RDTA. The price for the kit is seriously handsome. For about R1050, the kit is value for money, as the Medusa 25 mm is about R480 on its own. The Mod is about R750 on its own.
Now you may have read many reviews on the Medusa RDTA so I won't review this here. In short, the Medusa is actually poorly constructed and leaks juice. The whole locking ring with the tiny lock and unlock emblems sucks. After filling the 3ml bottom feed metal tank, the juice always comes out the middle. The creators should have put a thicker o-ring in the middle, as the barrel feels too loose, even after properly secured, and is prone to leaking.
Having said that, once correctly wicked, the Medusa vapes like a dream. There is something about the inside dynamics and workings thereof that delivers an absolutely fantastic vape. So I am double minded on this one, but would not recommend it to anyone. However, I wont get rid of mine as it makes a super "desk" RDTA.
On to the Mech Pro
This mod is totally unregulated. When you flip off the side panels, you will see inside, the working mechanism with a few gold plated wires and moving parts. Two 18650 batteries power the mod in parallel. There is a safety feature that prevents the batteries from being placed incorrectly, where the top battery housing won't allow you to insert the batteries the wrong way round.
What is really cool is, you can use a single battery to power the mod if you want.
You can also lock the device by moving a small lever inside the mod that prevents the button from making contact. It is very clean inside and there is a nice protective plastic covering over the vary basic circuit board.
The build quality is superb. The oversized copper firing button is amazing, delivering a nice throw. The 510 connector is strong and solid and will take an atty up to 25mm.
It feels strong, heavy, chunky and solid in the hand. If you have biggish hands, you will love how it feels in the hand.
The two plates that are secured by magnets are covered with a false carbon fibre material. However, this adds to the appeal of the mod.
The Mech Pro hits fairly hard. But not too hard. For example where my Noisy Cricket V1 blows me away with its raw power, this is more controlled and seems a bit restricted. Which I like as you can still build low ohm builds without getting your head taken off.
I am seriously loving my Mech Pro. So much so, I would easily get another. If you are into unregulated devices, then I am confident you will like this very much.
