Welcome to the forum!  
Please forgive me if you are on top of everything I am about to write but the following is the obligatory safety intro to mech mod building, lol.  Or at least everything I can think of right now. 
Google "Battery Mooch" and to find charts he has posted on vaping batteries.  18650 batteries are rarely rated accurately.  Battery Mooch tests batteries specifically for vaping and publishes the CDR or continuous discharge rate for batteries.  Use the CDR value when calculating your builds and leave a little "head room".  In other words if the CDR is 20A build safe for say 18A.
When using ohms law to calculate your amp draw use the max battery voltage of 4.2 volts to make your calculations.  
Google and use "steam engine wire wizard" to design your builds.  This will help greatly in coming up with the right resistance the first time.
Inspect your batteries well.  No rips, tears, degradation of the wrap or positive post insulator.  Use fresh high drain batteries as specification by Battery Mooch.  
Always use a resistance meter and double check the resistance of you atty fully assembled to ensure the proper desired resistance.  
Use common sense when vaping a mech mod.  If it starts getting hot.  Put it down.  
Batteries do not explode but if they go into thermal run away they will outgas.  They will do this at an extremely rapid rate.  Especially tube mech mods are prone to not adequately vent if a battery goes into thermal run away and the mod will "blow apart".  In reality there is little difference between blowing apart and blowing up.  Pieces/parts will fly with great force causing damage to humans.  The heat involved in the experience is also intense again causing damage to humans.  
A hint on building for mech mods.  Start using simple round wire.  Simple wire has the less mass than exotic coils and will heat faster and with less power applied.  Once you get the hang of building for a mech, there is plenty of time to play with different wire configurations.  
 
Good luck!  Looks like a beautiful mod!  

You'll want your eliquid to be high in VG too.

Or... if you like the Eleaf brand like I do, I'd suggest getting an Eleaf iPower 80W. This has a 5000 mAh battery life (even when I use it a lot), I only have to charge it around once a week. Personally, I like not having to use external batteries. In some, you will want to keep the two that go into the mod together, get an external battery charger, a case for storing the batteries for safety when not in use... even though I have all of those things and over a dozen paired batteries, it's more convenient for me to use the mods that have the batteries contained.   

All on-line.  No traffic, no crowds, no wasted gas.  Just me and the computer.  

You couldn't drag me into the stores today regardless of the sales. That said, I do need to get to some store within the next week or so to shop for the angel tree gifts. Good for you for getting some spectacular sales, though!

@Tam thanks so much. Life's great on the farm , lots of homegrown veggies, eggs and milk. It's a lot of work but my daughter and I are loving every minute of it.
 

It all worked out wonderfully.  A week later my balls fell off and I could sing really high notes.  Now I'm a celebrity in Beverly Hills and drive an Aston Martin D11 and wear support stockings on my hands.   

Don't forget the hand warmers! 

For me, it's this one, that one, that thar one over yonder...   

Congrats! In no time at all you'll be making your one year post.    

Just in! Two beautiful Pyrex drip tips from Gotvapes.com. One in a very light lavender and one purple. Might need to order some more of these.

They were well packaged, looks like they've never been used, fast shipping even though I didn't order it Priority, great customer service...

Forgot to add a couple of arrivals lately. 500 ft. of 30 gauge wire from Temco on that great sale Compenstine shared with us and three more custom HH.357 Cisco Hybrid Spec atomizers at 2.0 ohm, black, short barrel. I'm amassing a pile of these for easy rotation to be cleaned.

The VTR is so sweet! But so very heavy compared to my Evic and K100 -- and I thought they were heavy! How are you liking it so far, Medic?

EC Blends' chocolate malt is amazing...

Vape mail. Whee!

From Discount Vapers:

10 -- 5-pack 1.8 ohm Kangor Pro Tank coils
4 -- Anyvape Davide minis

From Litecigusa:

4 -- extra long stainless steel drip tips

But you must also have the Coffee juice. Breakfast isn't complete without the coffee.

No Dunkin' Donuts in my little town but we have lots of red bulls...brown bulls, light brown cows... Living out here in Colorado, ranchers have lots of livestock. Lol.

I think it would be kinder to myself to just let the zombies get me...

Couldn't find any info about their juice ratio on the site. Do you know what their PG/VG is?

My order of Dragon's Charm, Dragon's Magic and Rum Soaked Raisins from EC Blends came today. The two Dragon series juices are delicious straight out of the mailbox, the creaminess will come through in a week or three. Can't wait!

USPS could get some great pointers from you, Proetus.

What's that in the box above the two extra coils?

Got a HUGE box full of styrofoam packing peanuts yesterday. Inside the packing peanuts was another sealed box. Inside that was lots of packing paper and then finally... six Boston Round 4 oz. glass bottles with drippers and several jars with lids to store my juices.

This past week I got a 30 ml bottle of Fuzion's OrangeZilla.

Since Blucavvy got the thread going in "Bump when you buy something new", I thought it would be good to get a thread going on what we receive in vape mail.

I'll start here.

Just got three of the four custom HH.357 hybrid spec atomizers I sent back to Hanna to clean/repair. The fourth was beyond help so it was discarded. They're just like brand new again!

On Monday I'll be shipping out two more of these for similar treatment. I probably wouldn't need to do this but I insist on using the dark, sweet juices so they gunk up faster and don't clean out as well. Great customer service has Avid Vaper.

So, what did you get in YOUR vapemail today?

I agree with the others who commented. Get the testing done, ask your doctor questions etc. I've not experienced any of these symptoms in nearly 4 years of vaping.
