U can look up the N Zonic mod, most comes with magnetic switch, fits any size batteries and you can use 18350 batts with a kick. One sexy pinoy beast.

Nzonic is nice. Very nice. But one heck of a massive mod. The bottom firing switch alone is the size of a nemesis 650 extender. Go figure. Not to mention the top cap is quite thick too. I wanted to get an nzonic until I realize how long it is even in 18490.

I was actually looking at the 4Nine mod once but decided to strike it off my list for an out & about stealth mod due to some concerns I had. No locking mechanism, the probability of losing the magnetic spacer while changing batteries outdoors, thin top cap looked tedious to remove in 18350 mode without tools outdoors if tightened too much, toppers leaking directly onto battery. Do any current owners experience these?

Same issue..I need to mod the astro switch using silicone washers to make it working n ensure firing button doesnt fall off.

Then I got the K100... no such problem anymore..K100 is also Ego threaded..very versatile.

Mind elaborating what you meant by firing button falling off? If OP and you are experiencing such issues, I'd better be looking out for it.

On the cheap for small good 18350 mech mods I'd recommend- Caravela, Nemesis, Chi You, K100, M16.
Yes there are a lot of better mods out there but for a lot less money these are all pretty nice for the $$. Caravela being the smallest of the ones I listed.

Just my personal preference :vapor:

P.s. If you got the coin can't go wrong with the paps

Caravela not everyone are able to get unless if you get clone.
4 nine may be small but there are lots of pro and cons...
No locking system is a no no to go for unless you are not carrying around everywhere.
There is no need to search for those high end mod and pay big bucks for it.
As all serve the same purpose.
There are still alot of mods outside but it's not nice to list them here as you all should know ahem ahem have their eyes here.
Try to explore around other than here you will get the answer......

Without locking mechanisim, 4nine seemed to be out of question.

Also for those gigantic mods, also out of question.

Seemed like rai, gg, nemesis, magneto are not bad...

Caravela, havent check, but like u said, could be difficult for me to get.

Chiyou, k100 , m16 will check out the reviews .

However my supplier told me only has rai, magneto, hammer, atomo, sentinel.

Just a side note, similar to 4nine, rai dont have locking ring, but the button is recessed such that unless your pocket has many small pointy objects, its very hard to misfire it in pocket.

Vela is nice but i believe its considered a rare now. And if you really want rare and small mod (also willing to wait very long or get very lucky), the handcrafted red rod looks lovely.

The raijin doesnt have a locking ring? Wow, missed that one, thanks for the heads up. The red rod is a beautiful mod! And small from what ive seen and read. Has anyone seen the new copper penny mod? I love the idea of the penny for a bottom switch I think thats a cool idea.

Erm, i was talking about the rai launcher, not the raijin by vho. Raijin has a lock ring iirc. :D

The copper penny (and other copper mods) seems nice (theoretically some of the lowest voltage drop?) but isn't full copper threading alittle on the soft side especially on the top cap where we'll be switching ss attys in and out? Kinda worried the threads will be stripped the beautiful mods ruined.

But yeah, the red rod looks absolutely stunning. *drools*

Hmm, and I was wondering why everyone was calling it the rai lol thanks for correcting me. Honestly, you make a great point and as much as I love the look of these copper mods I dont think I could take a full mod that way, I love the copper and brass accents on the other hand but a full mod? No. Plus I dont think I could handle the smell, that penny smell, unless they dont have that and im wrong again? Feel free to correct me again lol.

We are all learning as we go, and my thoughts on the copper thingy is just personal opinion, really. Brass is a little harder due to the approx 30% zinc added, so it can withstand rough handling (I'm not gentle/careful type). Brass with patina may have a tiny bit of smell (not that sure) but unless you have a hobby of licking your mod, I don't see a problem. Copper don't exactly turn green, but sort of loses its shine faster iirc, so no smell I guess.

I don't have much hands on with as many diff mods as compared to many lao jiaos here... I just tried to research as much as possible. :D

Brass is substantially harder than copper. But naval brass is actually prone to deformation from drops and nicks. From my experience, regular yellow brass has a stronger metallic small/stench. Copper and brass both patina, but brass is more prone to do so. You can also force patina on either using mustard or other sauces, likewise with stainless steel. PCB etching solution works fine as well, if you want to stencil etch a logo of your liking.
I still prefer SS though, much harder and doesn't tarnish. :D

I own a Caravela clone and i do not like it. Mainly because the caps do not fit flush with certain atomizers with different center pole lengths. Though with reverse locking ring, the ring fits flush with the bottom cap and tube so quite tricky to turn it. Compared to the Chi You where it is bulging out, i feel it is more user friendly.

I have black hawk panzer, this mod is build like a tank. It might not be the hardest hitting mod, but if u hit someone with this, literally it is the hardest hitting mod.

Hahaha! :D if you hit someone with a 26650 hades mod, chances are he's gonna meet his majesty, Hades.
