What are the top mechanical mods?

What are the top mechanical mods in the market today? top 5?

 

[aPandaz]

Wow...depends on what you want. From what I've seen on this forum I would say the most wanted top 3 are:

1. Caravela
2. Chi You
3. iHybrid


I really want a Juggernaut, JM22, and am excited to see the orion v3.

Being as they have sold more mechanical PV's than all others combined, I would have to say the REO is still #1.

Or it can mean that they are more readily available. But I do like the REO and plan to buy one eventually, I have other items on my to buy list. This hobby is getting expensive.

I've always wondered if these are kept in such short supply for the purpose of increasing the desire to own one. It's human nature to want what you cannot have.

A one man shop can only make so many in a day.

I don't see the purpose in spending over $100-150 on a mechanical mod, let alone the crazy high numbers that hybrids tend to be priced at.

You can try to get into the AFPV coop, $126 will get you a stainless steel, US made hybrid.


Oh and I agree, Reo's are badass. I love my mini.

The Reo mini is nice, but the solderless/wireless design AKA mechanical mod at that form factor is weak. I was willing to spend 50 bucks for one 14500 battery to make that work as good as a plastic wired box mod. (I carried four top of the line AW's)

I bought a Reo mini two years ago and told everyone it was the greatest thing ever. Meanwhile I'm carrying a plain old fashion ego battery in my pocket so when I flooded the atty I unscrewed it from the reo and placed on the ego and vaped the over-pumped juice off.

Didn't take long to simply cut out the Reo and drip again.

That problem went away with the V2 mini. (18500 instead of the 14500)

[TheSneakerHoarder]

GGTS
Poldiac
Caravela
Chi-You
Reo line

 

[Jethead]

Am I missing something? I thought "mechanical mod" = no wires and or circuit boards, people are listing mods with both.

I love my Zenesis Ash II.....

 

[Aoi~]

I don't have the Poldiac, but I can assure you, the rest of the mods listed don't have wires/circuit boards. VV REO is the only one with electronics.

Edit: Orion 2.1 is not a mech. Orion 3 is not out, so /shrug

 

[wertyxhts]

How is the Gus Telescopic Stainless Steel? Never heard much about it.

 

[durgidog]

Super T manufacturing!

 

[Chef Vper]

I think the best one is the one that keeps you off analogs, that being said i enjoy a variety of diffent ones depending on the vape i want: warmer/cooler more th/more vapor, but ihybrid, zen, and suprisingly noble 1

 

[wertyxhts]

how about starter mechanical mods? I was looking at bolt, silverbullet, K100, KTS, The nartural, ccts? any recommendations? Wanted to get the Chi You or Caravela but they are hard to get atm.

 

[Butters78]

I'm happy with my electric angel.

the rebuildable telescope (v2 of the SMOK telescope) mech mod at madvapes. It's around 50 bucks, all stainless steel, uses whatever battery you have, bottom button if you are a genny user, complete disassembly (even the head) for cleaning ease, adjustable center pin, and durable construction.

I agree these are at the top but you have to put the Zenisis right there with those ...as far as desirability..i would agree the Caravala is top simply because they are not made anymore and wont ever be made again. The Chi is rarely released like the Ihybrid...they are tuff to acquire unless you can drop 400-600 bucks...even then most folks want to trade...the BAM is also hard to come by..

but as far as "Best" in terms of function I would say all the top shelf hybrids and mechs pretty much hit hard and are very similar in performance.

as far as batt tubes in no particular order other than the Zen is my personal favorite these are IMHO the best of the best

Zenisis TI
Zenisis Standard SS
Poldiac ( love the steam punk look of these and just missed one transferring money to paypal)
Chi
Caravala
I hy
Juggy
GG

what makes these things so great outside of the market driven lust for things that are rare is the handmade aspect altho i do believe that the rarity is by design to drive up the price...or at least make it more palatable to spend 250.00-500.00 on one
