Hi there.
The mod you linked, The Tuglyfe, is not a mech. Mech is short for Mechanical.
A mech mod is a mod without any circuitry, typically merely an empty metal tube with a 510 connector on one end and a compressible switch on the other. You put a battery in it and vape using the voltage the battery supplies.
A mech mod provides no means to adjust your vape nor any safety features. You are entirely responsible for knowing exactly what you're doing and whether it is safe with a mech. Please read quite a bit more on the subject. A fluent understanding of battery safety is a must. Please continue to ask questions as you research here on the vast subject of Mechanical vaping.
Personally I would call a mech "regular". I come from a time when mechs were basically all I had to choose from and to this day think are the best way to vape. I cut my teeth on them and grew to an adult, so I have a complete understanding of what I need to do to enjoy them safely. Safety is paramount. Once you have that down mechs can provide endless possibilities for fun and enjoyment, really the pinnacle of this hobby. But above all else, with a mech YOU are the safety feature.

Just in case you decided you wanted to try a RDA like the Tugboat V2, you CAN use your Evic to power it.

Please make sure you are using a quality battery from a trusted vendor to get the best performance from the Evic.
Have fun

Ok cool and I really want to order that certin one that looks like a pen anything ealse I need to know about these mods before I will order it
Hopefully it will take quite awhile to get here. Meanwhile read read read, maybe get to a vape shop and talk to people about mechs. You will need a *ton* of supplies. There is no possible way for any of us to tell you everything you need to know in this thread.

I will say again that unless you know what you're doing, using that particular type of mod can be quite dangerous. None of us are very confident you know even a fraction of what you need to handle it at all. And what's with the skulls and upside down crosses? Everybody knows bunnies and smiley faces are better.

Ok I will read more about it and another q Can some one help me get a screwdriver for Wraping coils I am using 26ga coils kanthal A1

Sorry to keep on (I'm not a jerk really) but that is a good example of your lack of knowledge around the subject as it totally depends on what size you want. Some use coiling kits, some use precision screwdrivers, some use drill bits... None of those methods are right or wrong. Read into the subject, watch some tutorials on YouTube and then buy what you think you will have most luck with.

The one thing I will say is don't give up and enjoy the journey. Mech mods were what made vaping for me and now I don't use anything else. The information is extensive, but is not complicated. Once you have the principles down, mech mods can be as safe as anything else. But without knowing the principles in the first place, you are at risk.
