So, what is remarkable about Benard? Firstly, an interesting design, copper with brass or copper with aluminum, which allows you to use more options for drippers, and also looks very beautiful. Secondly, the design of the button, which prevents carbon deposits on the batteries and the mech pin, as well as automatic adjustment to the drip pin and battery height. But let’s talk about this in order.

Packaging of the Benard mech mod

The Benard mechanical mod has a fairly extensive kit. The mech comes in branded paper, which is in a cardboard box. e juice canada On the box there is the inscription Benard on the front side, on the sides there is information about the manufacturer, on the bottom there is the mech version and serial number.

Having unfolded the paper, we see a leather case with a clasp with the inscription Benard (in which the mech with the dripper is placed). Opening the case, we will find the mech itself (polished to a mirror) in a vacuum package wrapped in branded paper, a polishing tool, an additional magnet, and two additional silicone tubes (used to adjust the battery) one is the same as the one pre-installed in the button, and the second is shorter (for drippers with long pins).

Instructions for care, safety, and warnings and two stickers with the company logo. Having unpacked the mech itself and unscrewed the button, we will find a contact group restoration kit inside. A rich set, isn’t it?

Appearance of the Benard mech mod

Let’s move on to the Benard itself. The pipe is made of copper and has brass (BENARD CB option) or aluminum (BENARD CA) pads, which are glued with heat-resistant silicone-based glue. At the top is a 510 connector, around the connector there is a groove for heat dissipation and to prevent your drippers from sticking to the mech (I have not had any problems with unscrewing it in a couple of weeks). Inside the pipe there is protection against short circuits in the form of a Teflon tape reinforced with fiberglass (the entire pipe inside is glued with this tape … and the back side around the connector), which will help you if you do not immediately notice damage to the insulation of your battery. All threads are ideal, the quality of processing is at its best.

The button is made entirely of copper, has six gas outlet holes. Two magnets are responsible for pressing. The pusher and the body of the button have a hexagonal treatment, on the pusher there is a brass insert with the company emblem and serial number. What is the hexagon for? .. For more stable contact, which it copes with perfectly!

From the battery side, the pusher of the Benard mech mod has a spherical shape, as well as a copper spacer, which is attached to the body of the button through a silicone tube. The adjustment is done by squeezing the silicone tube, which presses the spacer to the battery during tightening (the pusher touches the spacer, which is always in contact with the battery). The pusher has small notches in a circle for easy unscrewing of the button. I have no complaints about the processing either.

Benard button design

It works great, the adjustment to the battery height, despite its simplicity, also completely copes with the task assigned to it. There is no carbon deposit on the batteries, the bellows fries perfectly, the brass pads fit perfectly, there are no joints. Everything is done with high quality and neatness. The button is pressed quite deeply (1.6 mm) and moderately tight, the engraving on the button is not very deep. The leather case is also made with high quality, as is the polishing tool.

Conclusion

A very interesting Benard bellows, both in design and in construction. A very extensive set. Works great. The build quality is excellent. There are holes for gas outlet, and there is protection against short circuits inside the pipe. Cons… there are none, by and large.
