As of right now, Super T Mfr's Precise Simplicity is my favorite...

Pros: To many to list...
Cons: None

as of right now.. I've owned the ggts, nemesis, poldiac..
So far out of all three I think the GGTS wins but just .. wasnt for me? I don't know how I can say it wins and sell it but haha... after that the nemmy and the poldy are a draw soon to get a chi and a pulse !

To me, a winner is a bottom switch mod that telescopes. Bonus points for accepting an 18650 with a kick and extremely low voltage drops. Looks are all amazing with these mods, but the best of them to me is the Nzonic V3.

I would pick the Poldiac It has silver contacts which is the best conductive metal and the top fire button configuration is nice Its a little involved in the disassemble but not to bad.

Next Id pick the GG I love mine the awesome thing about that one is GG products thread in to the mod giving you a hybrid then the

Nzonic Is just a well made solid mod. It also has a 18650 kick tube with no extra purchase.

The roller is also nice but a bit of a bear to disassemble for cleaning.

I have a Rook coming today its supposed to be a updated version so the top pin issue is corrected so Im sure it will be a good one also. These are the ones I own I cant comment on the others as I have not used them.

An EA should also be in the running IMO

Um, you forgot the 2 best mechs out... Super-T ELA and Reo Grande...

 

[SissySpike]

I also forgot to add ELA no screwing is pretty sweet and top notch machining not to mention rhodium plated contacts.

 

[Salm12]

I have a K100 and its one of (if not the most) reliable mods that I have. Granted I dont have too many or have too much experience with mechs, but it works great for me and at an awesome price.

 

[ClippinWings]

NZonic...

Pros - Nice looking, VERY high build quality, and crazy low voltage drop

Cons - none really... maybe the fact that unlocking it sometimes spins the button(only if you didn't tighten the button properly.)

Super T devices are hands down the best mechanical mod made.... Period!

This is IMHO of course...

Totally agree, my Precise+ 18350 is the only APV that I am 100% happy with. Even after carrying it around in my pocket for a year it works and looks exactly the same as the day I bought it. I have sold or discarded a great number of other PVs during the last few years. I tend to find flaws in everything so this is saying much. I can make a long list of issues with my Provari Mini although it is probably best in it's class.

I like my Caravela, especially since the Vela Latine arrived for it, a great little hybrid utilizing the 306 Cisco atty.

I also like my Siam mods, my flattop Nzonic, Chameleon, and Ikarus. Only downside to the mechs is you really need to use a RBA on them to get the best results.

I beg to differ here is a GG with a SR 510 joytech atty no kick 60/40 juice I love my Ikarus also it has hands down the best bottom switch IMO but its really not a mech its a Hybrid

I get identical results with VTF when only using my Precise Simplicity 14500 w/SmartVapes 34mm Drippin Atty 1.5ohms and 95% VG, vapor production also consist of the strength of your lungs and simple but complicated breathing techniques.

ELA:
Pros: Expertly machined, perfection all the way, easiest to maintain contact points of all mods due to the Rhodium plating. Extremely sturdy, almost fool-proof in all regards, incredibly simple and effective switch. Can double as hammer.

Cons: Tapered bottom makes it unsteady, though much steadier than P+. Doesn't look good in 18650 mode. 24mm doesn't match with many attys. It's quite large.


Nemesis: very good machining, great system for avoiding battery rattle, fantastic switch. Looks killer. Easy to clean silver contacts.
Incredibly tiny with stealth cap and 18450 (58mm long)

Cons: Finishing could be better between the battery tubes. Machining is good, but not up to Super T standards.


I love both, and feel I have two of the best mech mods money can buy. We'll see if the Paps v2.5 I ordered today can hang with them.
I think it can.

I chose the Drawtube....... for simplicity reasons. I like that the 510 threading is machined in the head. It doesn't have a press fit connector. I've stripped the threads on too many Roughstack, Ego's, etc. I tend to drop my PV's and over time the connector is stripped. With the Drawtube, I can tighten down any carto or RBA and then adjust the contact pin as needed. Never loose.

Hopefully the threads on the Drawtube are much stronger.
