You know what? I've noticed something. Some russian-speaking youtube reviewers making the videos as if they try to make an excuses. Leave a comment with your guess who is it
So it goes. Now i will know who you like and who don't
I've ordered Homepod recently and after i viewed some reviews i think that was a hasty decision to order it. Well, once it will come we'll see. Maybe i will tell you what i think about it in some live stream
Okay, getting back to the tracks, we have a review of 3 mechanical mods at once, so please give us the intro
I don't know who i asked but anyway, let's roll
Opachki
Hello everyone! Alex from VapersMD is here
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
And today our guests is mechanical mod Adam, mechanical mod Eva and mechanical mod Bearded by Cradle mods. This guys is from Russia
These mechs are made in Russia too
And these are very interesting mods since they look different than other mech mods on Russian market
These mechanical mods have interesting design, of course they have constant contact and some safety features
And great, deep engraving
Look dope, but the size of this thing is rather big and it is pretty heavy
Okay, no more delays. I can show you many things in close up, let's roll
Here they are, this three handsome mechs which today are our guests
Anyway, these mechs have packaging, that i will show you right now
Mechanical mods Adam and Eva came in in this cardboard package with that metal plate
Inside we see a User Manual with some bad printing. Honestly guys from Cradle Mods - you have a bad printer and this manual torn on the bottom.
I don't know why it's torned, but it's good that we have this User Manual
Also we have 2 stickers that is poorly printed. And somehow guys using Gears of War logo
A little bit of paper straw and alien coils for mechanical mods made by Vape Artel. You can see the specs of it right now on the sticker
Mechanical mod Bearded came in that kind of package with some weird sticker which is unreadable
Overall i can say guys have troubles with printing and it should be fixed. But that's not the main thing.
Let's talk about mechs
So Cradle mods make their mechs of high quality brass and aviation aluminum
Cradle mods decide not to do color coating because they believe that the metal is beautiful by itself
But there is an option to coat brass mech with a Nickel Chrome plating
At the moment Cradle mods have 4 version of mechs - Eva made of aluminum, Adam, Beard and Zmei is made of brass. All mechs have the same button with contant contact and auto-adjust feature
They also feature 510 hybrid connection and powered by 1*18650. And you can see they have different design
Manufacturer claims that cloning of their product is complicated due to the technical solutions of contour machining
Also they recently start to implement 3D engraving for their mech mod Zmei. But unfortunately i don't have one, so i can show you only the picture
Okay, we're done with the specs, it's time for detailed overview
Let's start with Eva mechanical mod. On the top we have 510 hybrid connection with recess and small cutouts
If we look at the tube we can see two waists which is define the name of this mod - Eva
Also this two wings is noticable - they are big and have deep engraving that is made with CNC machining
And on the bottom we have a button . On the button we have engravings with the name and serial number 005. It also have 2 vent holes
The button unscrew counter clockwise. If we look inside the tube we will see the fool-proof protection feature or you can call it anti-idle press protection
I have no complaints about the threads of this aluminum mech mod, everything made well. Yes, it's a bit dirty but the cleaning is easy
The button looks like so and as you can see it have perfect threads as well
On the top we have constant contact brass pin and spring-loaded insulator which gives this mod the auto-adjust feature
This button can be disassembled. In order to do it you have to unscrew that wide part from thin part and it have reverse threading, so you should unscrew it clockwise.
Once this done we have access to the insides of the button and we see the constant contact
I think you noticed that this button is works with a spring and after we removed the spring we can extract the pin with insulator
And the bottom part of the button housing look like
As you can see the button is locked with that brass constant contact part
Of course it is demountable. This brass part hold the button in place and not letting it to fall out. I won't be taking it apart, i thinks it's clear
The constant contact look like so. Spring is rests on the insulator and when you push the button it goes up and make a contact
They all have the same button so obviously i won't be showing you those buttons
So let's get closer to the overview of Adam
I think you noticed that mech Adam have something in common in terms of design with mech Eva, but it looks more manly i guess
This mech also have 510 hybrid connection with recess and small cutouts
The connector itself is slightly protruding out of the main body because the diameter of the tube on that edge is around 27.5mm
Also now we have the engraving with the name of the manufacturer here. And the wings are the same as Eva
But if we look closer we will see the contour machining which give this tube interesting shimmering effect
On the button we have engraving of an apple and serial number, as well as the name of this mod and vent holes
And comparing this button to the button of mech Eva - it's made fully of brass
And the last mech i will show you today is Bearded mechanical mod.
Bearded, bald man. It's a cool and deep engraving - it looks dope
Especially great it will look when it will be covered with patina
And after you give it a good polish, all that recess part will be darker than the tube. So i will say it again - it will look dope
Top part is somewhere the same as previous mechs we saw
Also on the top part we have cutout and the tube itself having that oval shape
Like a bald bearded fat man. And it looks familiar to me...
And on the side of the mech Cradle mods engraved my name - Alex from VapersMD. So it's named mech mod i have
That is one of nice bonus features - you can order your own engraving from Cradle mods - the logo or your name or some word or just some random engraving
It's great that guys have this option
On the button we have engraving Cradle mods, the name of this mech and serial number 005. Again. And vent holes
The button is absolutely the same and i can tell you more - they are interchangeable with each other
Let's compare this mech with other mods size-wise
I can say it's one of the highest mods i have on my desk.
Okay, let's cut the chase and put the gold Phobia on it. It should look sexy
Now let's install the battery - negative up, because vent holes are on the bottom and after - screw the button
The button is screwed flush because we have auto-adjusting for the battery inside and the battery have no rattle at all, which is great
Okay folks, it's time to end this close up and get back to face-time where we will speak about this mods
Thanks for your attention in close up. Let's roll
Zharit(it performs)
It performs great. Lot of vapor, lot of flavor. Thank you Phobia. But today we are gonna speak about mechanical mods
And it performs like a champ
Okay now, we are going to test something - which of those two performs better!
Aluminum or Brass?
It will be fair comparison. I will always saturate the cotton before the test and i will use the same battery
Bearded Brass. Let's hit that button and see - it performs like this
And now let's test the aluminum Eva
I can say i don't see much of a difference. So it's a pro to both of em for having good performance
But for a start there is a nuances we need to speak of
In this segment i will say some things to the manufacturers and some things you should be aware of
Let's start with its height - this mod is quite tall. As you saw it's one of the highest mods i have and i don't really like mods this size
I want mod to be compact. But this is VERY subjective and it's my personal opinion. I'm not imposing anything to you
Leave a comment - what you think about the size of this mechanical mod?
One of the nuances you should be aware of - it's pure brass and it's need to be polished from time to time.
Because after some time of usage it will cover in patina and start to smell bad.
So this mechs that is made of brass requires special treatment and maintenance
Of course, the constant contact isn't the panacea from black dots(aka arcs). They will appear anyway, but not on the battery contacts, they will appear inside of the button contacts
So you have to clean this black dots from the contacts there and take a regular care it. Don't forget about this.
Next nuance is going straight to the manufacturer. Vent holes is real tiny.
When i blow inside this tube...Don't ask why i do this...This is my way to test the vent holes
It takes lot of effort
So i can tell if something bad happens - those tiny vent holes not gonna help you much
So i recommend to Cradle mods to make them bigger
People who are following my channel know that I was engaged in design - i did some 2D design like posters, menus, billboards and stuff.
And for the printing like this i can smash a MAJOR CON. Guys, you should do something about it - this is junk.
Take more time for the package and of course User Manual. This is the face of the mechanical mod, this is the way it will be presented at the shop shelf
So if I see the shabby package like this with bad printing I don't want to even look in the direction of this mod
So guys - fix it
It's time to talk of pros and here's plenty of them
First pro to those mechanical mods i'll give for great machining quality, smooth treads and great fit of all components
There is no battery rattle. Everything screws and unscrews great. Good job and great production quality. Like
Of course pro for an original design. These mechs are very different from the many of the mech mods at the Russian market. So it's a pro for a design.
I will also give a pro for a constant contact. This is becoming mainstream for Russian mech mod makers and it's great that Cradle mods also used it
A pro for constant contact
Next pro i'll give for safety features. Vent holes (need to be bigger though), fool-proof protection feature aka anti-idle press
And there is little cutouts and recess on the connector, that will prevent sticking your atomizer and reduce heat transfer
And last pro like i showed you before i'll give for performance. They all performs great - both aluminum and brass. It's great for everyday vape
MAJOR pro for performance
Let's move forward and it's time to talk about price
Let's start with the cheap to expensive . Mech mod Eva cost 4500 rubles(79$ to this date)
Mech mod Bearded cost 5500 rubles(97$ to this date)
And mech mod Adam cost 6500 rubles(114$ to..this date)
If you decide to get Nickel plating it will raise the price. More detailed info you can get at manufacturer.
Also the price will be affected if you decide to get some custom engraving
But overall these mech mods are great. Production quality is great as well
Design is nice but the package is a letdown. And i guess the package is the only major con there is.
Overall folks, that's all i wanted to share with you today regarding this mech mods.
