There are positive pins inside of the atomizer and the mod’s 510 threading, typically made of copper or brass, that contact each other to deliver power.

An atomizer has the male end of the 510, and the mod has the female end. Many buttons on tube mods are recessed to avoid accidental “firing,” or have built-in locks for when not in use. Tube mechs typically only take one battery where boxes can house one or more cells. There are just a few parts to a mech mod:

For knowledgeable hobbyists, this allows for a wide degree of customization depending on the batteries used, the build of the atomizer and the materials used on the mech mod itself. Mechanical mods demand user knowledge of ohms law, lithium-ion battery safety, and electrical conductivity.Ī mechanical mod is a simple yet advanced vaping device that delivers raw battery power to an atomizer without electronic regulations, safeguards or protections for the user.
