It is my belief that everything has an effect on the final outcome of ones vape. True that the atomizer is the key, but if you don't have the right power it don't matter how good the build is. And vice versa, if you have the best mech or high amp regulated mod in the world, don't matter how many amps one can push if the build isn't optimized in the atomizer and can't wick or breathe well enough to handle it.
It's a question of Balance. Go mechanical, need to look at the mod, battery, rba, wick, wire, and style of build. A good clone can sometime perform as well as the authentic, like the Nemesis. But if you don't have a 30 amp bat, know how to build, and understand ohms law, you might as well stick with an ego or mvp.
With the onslaught of the high amp regulated mods, you still need the same balance, and same considerations. Saw that Vapor Tech USA was doing a pre-order for the Hana dna30 clone mod for $79. But one then must wait a month or two before receiving it.
I believe the Panzer has be cloned, so you could go that route, the Hcigar Nemesis is a great clone, and am sure there are others. I have found that the money spent for Authentic gear is always worth the price of admission. And when looked at from the investment view, the expense is not that much. When one chooses quality gear for their collection, that will provide years of service, $200 for a mod is quite reasonable.
