Best Mech starter order for $100?

[Austin lol]

Good looking cart. As most have advised, remove the batteries and buy those local.

You might want to throw a couple other low-cost items in there that I found I wanted eventually and was annoyed I didn't think of initially. Drip tips, O-rings, battery case, that kind of thing. They're all a couple bucks at most.

In any thread I see about mechs and fasttech, also gotta say that that best item I've ever gotten from them is $15.38 GP PAPS Style 18650 Mechanical Mod - brass tube at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It's not just the best for the money, it's the best period. Compared to the Nemesis, only downside is it doesn't house 18500 or 18350 batteries. The button is fantastic, the threading is fantastic, the look is fantastic, it hits hard and is very easy to use for a beginner.

I'll give it a look. Might just get that and another one.

More compact, better switch design, floating 510, hits considerably harder, comes with a hybrid connector. Nemesises are good mods but mods have evolved in the past year since they have released. They were the mech mod most of us started with but this isn't beginning 2014 anymore and there are better options on the market.

Gotcha. I personally just don't like the way the stingray looks :/ Know of any other good ones?

I'd skip the batteries and the battery charger from FT. You can pick the 4 battery version of the charger for a couple bucks more shipped from amazon.

The nemesis you have in your cart is one of the best rated ones on FT.

Also, This KFL+v2 is highly recommended
$25.02 Kayfun Lite Plus V2 Style Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5ml) - 1:1 clone / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Thanks for the advice. I'm definitely buying batteries elsewhere. Does anyone know of a reliable place to get batteries? I want to get Sony VTC4/5s but I know there are a lot of fakes. I'd rather just buy them online

EDIT: I'm also unsure about which atty I want. I have a good setup for pure nicotene delivery, This setup I'm looking to probably use 0-3 nic, and I just want some nice clouds. Looking for a ~$20 atty with a deep well, and 3 post so I can dual coil. The plumeveil clone looks nice, but I wouldn't mind spending $20-$25. I would like a clone, not a piece of junk!

Get an origen... easier to drill out larger, if 2mm isn't enough airflow. I'm about to bore mine to 3mm.. but it's handling 50watts just fine.

Magma is a good choice..draw is a little tighter. You can drill out the outlet to get more airflow, but you can't go too crazy with making the inlet larger+outlet to match. Great atty though... don't think by me saying you need to drill it to get clouds it doesn't produce great vapor...it does, but it's not a cloud chasing atty.. it's a flavor junkie's dream atty...22mm and as good as the small, iconic flavor chaser drippers.

Plume veil doesn't have great capacity, but it's wonderful.

I haven't looked for new gear in while... can't go wrong with a nemesis though. With a mech really you just pick what you like the look of, and search for the best version of it. Infinite and hcigar are the best... although the 4nine clone by infinite was bunk.. the rest I've seen are great.. especially my turtle ship.

I pretty much made the decision to get the magma as a high ohm build atty for getting nic, and then find something else that I can build dual coils on for clouds. Most likely going to be the plume if I can find anything else. The origen has really nice reviews though, I need to look at a video because I'm not really familiar with how it is set up.

This is how I build mine...vertical.. It's honestly the easiest atty to get the coils to glow prefect with each other. Oh...it's the first 3 pictures.

Allen/hex screw for negative contact, and the positive is a round, knurled nut, no real need for a tool.

Thanks for that! Is there a difference between the fasttech one and the vapingtech one?

 

[suspectK]

Honestly, no...I wouldn't know first hand...I just recommended vapingtech because I know it's good, and comes with 4 purdy AFC rings.

Just check out the reviews and discussions for the different ones... Also, the storm is an origen clone. I think it may have been what influenced the origen v2..unified well.

You are selling the magma short. Dual 28g coils for around .5 ohms is nice. Flavor and clouds with at least a dozen drags of juice in the well.

I have the origen and a plume veil clone. The magma beats em for flavor and keeps up in the fog.

 

[suspectK]

I don't know about beating them for flavor. The flavor profile is different...I haven't figured out vertical wicking with magma, but once that happens, the magma will be the champ...but the plume veil can be built like a vertical in a magma.. I'm stoked to play with the rotating positive post

The magma has a very wet flavor profile...origen is dry compared to the magma..hard to compare them..at least for me.

Magma vs origen after modding both for clouds, I definitely like the origen more.

I'd like to try a viking..still haven't even seen one.:/

HCigar is having a $29 sale on the 1:1 Nemisis clone. They have great customer service. I wrote them several times when mine arrived and the Efest batteries they sell are 18650 2500mAh and are less than fastech. The whole order got to me very fast.

 

[Satiated]

One more thing. I have the Kayfun 3.1 and the Russian and I perfer the draw on the Russian and the flavor. The Russian is a Kebo. The Kayfun has a more open draw so I guess it depends on what you like better but the flavor and draw to me are the morst important and they both look great on the Nemisis.
