Trying to decide on a started mechanical i can tinker with, Natural, sigelei #13a, Drawtube Smart?
- Status
I'm a big fan of the Beautiful Drawtube. You won't find many threads on these forums, but that might be because they are so well done, if not a tiny bit spendy.
Lots of folks also tinker with the China GG. Other cheap telescopics are Sigelei #19 and K100.
I have 2 k100s and think they are very hard to beat for the price.
Solid feel and can fit almost anything you throw in it.
Never had a misfire.
Looks really good with an IGO-L on it!

I've been eyeing some of the sigelei mods(especially the 13a). I am using a kamry kts that I received the other day. It is my first mech mod and so far I am loving it! You can find them around $25-$30. Definitely a good intro to mechanical mods.
I love the Natural, just ordered another, and I hope I get to keep this one. I just cant find it for less than 50.00 or higher.
BTW, when I took this photo, I had not adjusted the connection, so thats why you see a gap on the mid section.

The best deal I think right now is for the KTS (China GG) at exhalevapors.com with a coupon from vaporjoes and the K100 from fasttech. You can have both mods for under $60 and you get a side firing mech along with a bottom firing one. I have both and they're both totally worth it 
The under $60 segment of the market is FLOODED right now with decent mods.
Of the ones I own that have been mentioned; China GG, #19, K100, Natural and #20 I would recommend time and time again the Natural. Really, really nice mod for the money..ONCE you sand down the contacts, which is a under 2m job. The 19's are nice too, but you have to do too much to them to get them really nice, which is quite possible...but we're talking no "to the hardware store looking for parts"/less than 10m mod jobs" here.
The #20 are pretty damn nice too, but only after the hot spring is changed out (which is being done at the factory now), and there are some issues with the firing switch...not good ones either, dangerous catch on fire omg type issues. The original one I had had this issue, so I returned it to the vendor (RichMan, who is fricking awesome btw) who sent me a #20b, which has the upgraded copper top pin and new hot spring.
The k100's are also very nice, and I use mine a good deal, but they are just not as nice (IMO) as the Natural. I cannot say enough good things about the Natural. From looks to performance, you cannot go wrong for the money.

With all the hype considering the k100 just wanna let folks know I have one and its good but its fragile, I dropped mines with and it snapped at the neck threading it had an 18650 in it so I repaired it with silver solder still works but doesn't thread the same, funny my aga t2 that was on it didn't get a scratch must say aga t2 is one tough sob. Another thing is be careful if you own cgr18650ch bats with the k100, if screwed down to tight it grounds out
The bottom lock has cross threading issues too :\ A friend has his no more more than 10m and it was locked up..luckily in the "on" position, but be very very careful with the k100 lock...ive come close to locking mine up on a few occasions now.
Does anyone know where I can get some reviews on the ss new version smoktek telescope mechanical mod, gotvapes got them for 30 bucks and I've tried to look everywhere for anything on It in this forum with no luck
I'd 2nd the K100. Totally versatile and mine hits like a beast. Sanded down the contacts and using a Cobra w/ .8 ohm coil.
Yeah i definitely like the Natural its a nice looking mod going to pick it up from my local shop than sand it down than fix the spring so its not so stiff, the only question i have with the #20 is how can you even repair the switch looks like it would be a SOB to fix or take apart to clean?
Yeah check this video out you might have to sand down some connections cut a spring but over all good review and creditable reviewer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqFDRtFhakk
my problem with the natural is the hideous seams in the tubes. this could have been a beautiful mod, and is rather unsightly because of said joints
That's unique to that Panasonic battery as the wrap doesn't quite make it to the bottom edge of the battery. In that case you just flip the battery upside down. I find the K100 and K101 to be solid and a pleasure to use.
