TimesVape Keen Mechanical Mod - 18650 / 20700 / 21700

The TimesVape Keen mechanical mod is a single-cell mech mod that takes 18650, 20700 or 21700 batteries, designed by Mr Stan. It is aimed at experienced vapers and builders who want an unregulated, button-fired mod with a floating pin and a tapered 30mm body.

Key features of the TimesVape Keen mechanical mod

• Runs on a single 18650, 20700 or 21700 battery
• 18650 adapter supplied for the smaller cell
• 30mm body tapering to 25/27mm diameter at the top
• Floating contact pin with a ball-shaped head, intended for a firm firing feel
• Floating battery adjustment and hybrid 510 connection
• Built-in Delrin tube liner to protect the battery wrap
• Gold-plated contact pin with a flat, smooth button spring

The floating pin and floating battery adjustment let the mod sit the cell in the right position, whichever size you fit. The hybrid 510 connection is the other main detail to note when choosing an atomiser. The Delrin liner inside the tube is there to help protect the battery wrap from wear.

Compatibility

The Keen takes one 18650, 20700 or 21700 battery. The 18650 adapter in the box is needed when using an 18650 cell.

Choosing your colour

The Keen comes in five finishes: Black, Brass, Copper, 316 SS Brushed and 316 SS Polish. The maker lists stainless steel as one build material, with copper and brass versions also offered. For the stainless steel version the maker advises a coil resistance above 0.2 ohm, and suggests the copper or brass versions for users wanting lower resistance.

How to use

Mechanical mods have no built-in protection circuits, so they are only suitable for experienced vapers and builders who understand Ohm's Law and battery safety. Always use a suitable, undamaged battery with an intact wrap, check your coil resistance on a meter before firing, and make sure the atomiser is fitted correctly. Keep the mod clean and the contacts free of residue.
