I was gonna suggest the Pipebender mod which a clone the Excalibur which is a clone of the Galileo.....which makes it a clone of a clone. I bought one here for less than $40, it's actually well made even for a China clone and it's all stainless steel. A kick would definitely fit in this mod. Sadly it's only available here in my country and it seems we are being flooded with cheap stainless steel clones. I'm actually gonna buy another ss clone of the Absolute mod since I've been wanting one in stainless.
Another Vote for The Natural !
It is a GREAT fully Mechanical Mod.
Running mine with a 18650 and a SmokTech RDA...
This thing cooks !
(Really...see no need to kick a good battery-with a Natural and ST RDA wound...you will need nothing !)

*could* you kick an 18650 in the natural if you wanted to?
im having a hard time understanding how not having power regulation is completely acceptable to lots of users.
i see it being too hot on a fresh charge and too cool on a low charge. thats how it was on my unregulated VMod anyway.With the natural (unless I missed something) you can use the 18650 tube and kick an 18490/18500 battery, or use the 18500 tube and kick an 18350 battery. If you need a regulated vape, then get the natural, kick it and still be in less than $100 give or take. Its a quality mod for a china knock off IMO.
thanks. i was wondering if you could kick an 18650 in a natural but i guess not.
the natural is still my front-runner, but i am still minorly considering the CCTS.
does anyone have an AGA atop their natural? id like to see how that setup looks.
Here you go.... Page 9, post #86....

And no. Stock, you cannot kick an 18650. If you were to get a hold of another topmost bare section, you could extend it and put a kick on an 18650. But I'm not aware of any places selling just tube pieces. You'd have to buy 2 Naturals and cannibalize one.
Another option for an 18650+kick would be the kicklet by super-t

Not sure if you are referring to the natural but that's expensive screw on for a $45 mod
I agree not sure i would fork out that amount of money for a kicklet for a knock off mod,or should say,low tier mod?Here comes the heat for that comment i can feel it already.
I for one, will not dispute the the Natural is an inexpensive mod. I don't see it being of poor quality or construction.
Im really happy to have a nice SS fully mechanical mod of good quality at a low price. (Wish it was USA made:
)To answer Kemosabe:
The reason I wanted a Fully Mechanical was that I wanted something that had no electronics in it.
I have eGos and a eVic...and a brand new broken Bolt (faulty Switch). I am not hard on my stuff...pretty careful in fact.
But, because of the way things are going...I wanted the Natural as a failsafe vaping unit. No Electronics...no wires...
isn't much to go wrong. I have also purchased a TEC Mechanical too- so I should be good for a few years.
After using the Natural for a month...I can say it is a solid unit, and gets equal use with my eVic around the home.
For me as long a mechanical mod works fine and is well built I don't mind it being cheap or even a knock off. I've actually upgraded my stainless clone mod with silver pins and now it performs flawlessly. The kick wouldn't be wasted cause the op can use it in other mods. I'm a practical guy and if I see a product that is good and cheap then it's only logical for me to buy it. I'm not vaping because I wanna be cool with expensive mods, I vape cause I need to stay away from analogs.
I don't think anybody is disputing kicking a cheap mod. It's the extra $60 dollars for a kicklet to make it a screw on that is the issue. 50 dollar natural and 60 dollar kicklet is an expensive setup once you factor in another $45 for the kick itself.
You might as well be cool with an expensive mod.

My point is that some cheaper mods are durable enough, and paired with a kick is still cheap compared to pairing it with an expensive mod. A higher end mod still costs more than a $100 and some of them don't even perform that well since I've been upgrading them with silver parts. Anyway it's all about preference when it comes to pv's. The op is entitled to choose whatever he is comfortable with.
Again not disputing the $45 dollar kick, just the addition of a $60 Kicklet to put it in so you can screw it on rather than place it directly in your natural/chi-chi or whatever.
I have mechanicals from $22 china stuff to well much more expensive, vape what you want. Kick what you want, I am just saying the kicklet is not the most cost efficient way to do that.
I know steammonkey sells the kick extension for the CCTS (Chi-Chi). Not sure if a 18650 with a kick will fit the K100. If it does, I know you won't do it without exposing the threads.
I own both and use them strictly as genesis mods. Both work tremendous with minor voltage drop with proper wicking. I'm getting a 0.13 voltage drop on my K100 with a Mini DuD @ 1.4 ohms.

Lol, okay okay I now get your point. To be honest I won't use a kicklet in a mechanical since I like them for what they are since I'm into rba's.
^^excellent. thats for posting that list
i think im going to wait until i see the Sigelei mech mod thats coming out. but as for now, its the Natural, ChiChi, and the UDT-L that are on my radar. if the UDT-L is indeed fully mechanical, that is. and this is before i fully explore the list darkhood posted.
I bought a paladin/udt-l, it's not 100% mech, there's 2 wires for the button which are hidden but easily repairable if something happens. It's well worth the price imo, love the look. also maybe check out the xcalibur/tec mod - http://www.smokerevolt.com/The-XCalibur-Mechanical-Mod_p_348.html (there's better prices out there if you search) its fully mech w/ a bottom/pinky button.
