I'm really not seeing anything that I like honestly. Guys on okc saying 1.1v drop under load.

70 bucks is near the bb which I would get if I really wanted it, weird ... cone top cap on that one.. uk lists. Ehhh......

Yeah, I was talking about it modded, which is quite simple for 18490/18500 batteries. 0.19V drop with my AGA-T2, 0.23 drop with my IGO-L.

I did get the small AA box with horn switch from madvapes. I use 808 stuff so that's the version I bought. I only use cartos on it, and it's a little airy, but still very usable after plugging one airhole. It's really pretty small, almost stealthy, and fits easily in my average size hand. I guess it's not strictly a mechanical, but it's pretty close. Anyway, I think it's a good low price mod.

I looked for a long time for a 14500 or 14650 mechanical, and there are few to be found that fall under $100. If you factor in availability of the few on the market, it gets even tougher. I know this is not cheap and i apologize to the OP.
I had heard a few things about the Temon and checked out the MMV site. It looked like everything was out of stock as per usual, but found that they sell "blemished" units at a discounted rate and I could buy it NOW. Total after shipping was about $113 and the unit made it from Greece to my doorstep in 3 days. My blemished unit was only missing the logo/ name/ serial # engraving on the body but otherwise is literally flawless. Sent with some replacement springs and c-clip for the switch as well.
My main reason for getting the 14500 ( also a available in 14650 btw) was for low ohm coils in a pocket-sized mod. Before I dumped a huge amount of $ on a fancy RBA, I decided on the Vulcan, a DID clone, to see how it worked out. Once I got the hang of mesh and coils, this thing has been everywhere with me on a daily basis.

OMG thank you! I have wanted one of these for a while and never thought to look for flawed ones. Just saw out of stock and cried a little. Now one is on its way to me!
