Help me pick out a good one.

[Cincikid]

I have gone through umm.. at least 7 reg mods in the last 2 yrs. built in batt dies, Drops, Juiced to death, quit for no damn reason, etc, etc.

I am a mod killer, and need something bullet proof!
Tube mod right? .. It's not that simple, though. (no pun intended)

I'm looking for a reasonably priced 24mm, non-hybrid, preferably magnet button and in ss.
Something like an SS manhattan or fuhattan. (I can't find either in stock)

Any suggestions?

Edit: What do you guys think about the Raptor T6 Clone?
If I could find a solid parallel box I may get both.

If your accustomed to reg mods are you sure you want a bottom button? I have a 4-Nine clone that is every thing you want except being 22mm. Love the look, feel, etc... Absolutely hate the bottom button! Awkward to use unless I'm giving it my full attention, so can not use it while driving or even walking. Do not have this problem with my Phantus Mini or my 'tootle puff' gear.

 

[Cincikid]

The bottom button takes a second but you get used to and becomes second nature.
I own a tesla 2 and a nemesis clone. The tesla is nice but I find the vape of a pure mech to be best for me. I'm sure a copper hybrid would be even better than the nemesis and that's probably where ill end up. For now, a nice 24 with a floating pin for my mage GTA is what I'm looking for.

I ordered the T6 from fasttech.
I am still interested in a 24mm tube if anyone has suggestions.

@Cincikid
I have a couple of those Raptor clones and they are solid boxes. I replaced the spring in the switch.

Glad to hear.
That's the exact one I ordered.
The spring was weak? Where did get your replacement spring?
Did you find it comfortable in the hand? Sharp corners? Nice threads?

 

[MMW]

If you're getting the same version I linked, threads are good, corners aren't sharp. More beveled. The spring is just a preference thing for me. The throw wasn't stiff enough for me. I made a spring for it.

Fastech has a really nice black brass AV M1P5 clone for around $18. 24 mm and magnetic lockable switch or button.

Ragnarok red copper/ authentic. Japan. About 53usd.
Vapor Kings.

Why not start off with a bang ?.

My 4Nines in 30 (31) and also 22mm are some of my favourites, I love the simplicity...but it's not for beginners...it is a little bit special!

Nice handwarmer with A123 LiFePo4:

That's exactly what I'mm looking for in a mod.. In pictures, it seems like with a 24mm atty there is a lip.. Like its a 25mm mod. Is this true in your experience? Is there a lip with your 24's?

If you're accustomed to regulated mods there might be a bit of a learning curve to using mechs. Different capabilities and build requirements. That said I love my mechs but they could all be considered relics at this point. Ive got 2 Hammers, the King V2(personal fave), the Maraxus, and a few beaters kicking around. Loving the look of the Raptor and Im thinking there might be one in my future.

I do know what you mean,, with a .5 coil, around 32 watts. Same wattage as i use on my sxmini Q. Maybe I'm under utilizing the regulated?
With me it's about Longevity.
Also imperative, ohms law..

What guage wire are you using? 32 watts on a dual coil at .5 would be "too hot" for me using 28AWG and "too cold" for 26AWG. Im all about Ohms Law and building safe(due to my mech addiction), but I also love to incorporate Heat Flux into my build equation and my personal sweet spot is right where Steam Engine suggests. That said, IMO, if you are getting the vape you want with the settings you're using then thats all that matters. As long as you're not pushing your batteries out of a safe limit then find a comfortable setting and vape away!

26 or 28awg on slick builds,,26/32awg on Clappys. Kanthal and SS316 wire materials.
Pretty simple. I build large for large attys.
Have been getting into small drippers, single coil,,& Gennies.
Therefore,
Higher builds, Mechs
Lower builds, unregulated Duallies..

Took a while, battery dead on my caliper.
There is a bevel at the edge of the top cap,, so here goes
23.95 to 23.99 to 24.00 for the mod, in mm.
The +p is compound, to account for battery variances in length..

 

[Cincikid]

Sweet.
Thanks for measuring.
I was wondering because of pictures like this.

That must be a 22. I don't like the look of a lip.
Any issues? Pro's, Con's?

 

[daviedog]

Sure looks like one, can assure you, the Rag is a 24mm mod.
What i called a bevel, you called a lip. Yes, it is there.
I use a few mechs a week, 75% are clones.
Nemsis 1to1 clone, no lip.
Emma copper 1to1, clone no lip.
Chiyou brass 1to1 clone, no lip.

Bet there is a song in that "no lip" thing..

 

[daviedog]

Oh, if you want the real skinny on 'Kull' mechs, @Kprthevapr has turned me on to plenty. Including the copper Emma..
