I don't want a hybrid anymore Decided against it. I want the 510 connection So I can unscrew what I'm using And taste my girlfriends juice LOL
She has a few Pro tanks that I would like to be able to use because she has some good fruit juices
Also I'm still leaning heavily towards the legacy standard 18 650 with the extension tube and the crown. The crown is like the kick but also is able to go variable voltage between 3.5 and 5.5volts also between 5 and 10 Watts! !! It's an insert for tube mods like the kik but can be switched back and forth between voltage in wattage. I'm assuming that make the kick it will not let you use sub low resistance coils in Watt mode but hopefully it will allow you to use at least a1 ohm coil in variable voltage mode I just in the voltage as needed to get the desired wattage

Not true. The slant top 18650 Precise Plus is available and on sale for $159. Leaves enough for a charger and at least one battery.
That's a good choice.
Later, if you want, you can pick up an 18350 tube to go with as well.

Alright I'm almost out of work and I believe my military check goes in tonight at 12 a.m. I may be able to order this tonight we will see.
Depends on if my mind is made up and what is in stock

Nemesis sold out in like 20 minutes, BUT rollers and dingos are available at Atmizoo. After the Nemesis debaucle, I rage bought an Ice Matte roller! HA! But seriously, I've always want one. I think I may sell or tade my EA now.
The shipping will get you but have you seen this?
MKB-TS starter kit with oddy ztomier
The battery & charger setup may throw you over the $200 budget, but not by much. If I could do it over again, I'd pick up this kit. Basically you're getting all the function of a GG for 1/3 of the cost. I already have an MKB-TS & Terminator, but purchased separately so paid a little more. Still very pleased with this setup tho. Now there is a stealth cap available too, so this becomes a very versatile MOD.

well i did it.... and some of you will be diapionted in my choice but i think its a good one.
i ordered the :
-smoktech natural 54.98$
-the 18500 exe tube 8.98$
-the AGI drip/tank with spare parts wick mesh and wire 27.98$ wow that was a deal !
-the kick by evolve 43.78$
-shipping 1.99$
tottal purchace price 137.71 !!!!!
that was a deal too good to pass up by going for the natural i saved a ton of money and got a solid ss mod (no plated copper) i have enough left over for a good set of batterys and charger 18650 18350 and 18490/18500 also i may have some cash left over to order a bottle of juice fom alice in vape land !
can someone recomend a good set of batterys that are high mah and good for this pv and where to buy them.
also is there a way to set the natural up to run 18650 with the kick ? mabey by using the 18500 tube over a 18650 setup ?
and do i have to use 18490 batterys with the kick or will 18500 and the kick work with the standard tube ? i want to get the most battery life i can with the kick it said standard tube will fit 18490 with kick bt will it fit 18500 with kick also ?
this is going up to my dads machine shop this weekend and i am polishing it to a mirror finish ! i may also use a ceramic paint in the dimples and recessed parts before polishing (black) so it will have some contrast. and posably remove the spring and mod it with a solid post then sand down all the contact pionts for better conductivity... i heard they are plated too.
exhalevapors has good deals right now and a lot of stuff in stock.....

like can i stack 2 18350's ? exe.....
Also I want input. I need recommendations on the best batteries I can get for mechanical mods.

The natural is a good choice. But I would have gone with different batts. I use CGR18650CH and AW IMR unprotected batts in my mechs. With the protected batts you ordered... you may have trouble with the protection kicking in and shutting off the power. Then you'll have to take them out and put them back in to reset them.
Here is where I got the CGR18650CH batts
Here and here is where I get my aw imr batts

I second that on the batteries. I also use the Pannies for 18650 and AW for 18490 and 18350 Efest will work in a pinch. That charger you got will work but you won't be happy with it. It is very slow. I have the Nitecore i4 V2. Got it from a guy on ebay and it was here in less than 48 hours

Oh and I wouldn't stack batteries in a mech. You have to be really careful about discharging at the same rate. They can become unstable. When using the kick you need to be at or above 1.1-1.2 ohms. So you may not like it on that atty you got. I prefer mine at about .9
Segelei #8 if you're willing to take the chrome off the 510 connection top, the firing pin and put a bigger spring in it.
If you want an out of the box experience maybe a Precise.
I have a friend with many mech mods, he insists a Segelei #8 modded as described above hits harder (less voltage drop) then the Natural.
Venerable Vaping had them for $28.99 yesterday but I think they sold out.

I agree with the above posters about your battery and charger choices.
I would cancel your order if it's not too late.
Here's a review of the Ultrafire 18650's and it seems to be right on with info seen in this forum.
Test of UltraFire BRC18650 3000mAh (Red-silver)
I have a Trustfire TR-001, but it is just for back-up purposes now.
The Xtar WP2-II I have is a much better charger. The I4 recommended above would be a good choice as well.

I also have the Xtar WP2-II and it's nice. I got mine off ebay for around $20 shipped. I too vote for canceling that batt order if you can. You don't want to use ultrafires or trustfires in a mech.
Donnah said it well. These below r my only batteries :
And they fit snug, plus perform best on my Mech.Mods. I also fetch them from Fasttech.
