Appreciate you getting involved. Your an exclusive mech user. So I was gonna ask r all your mechs authentic? And obviously from your post you think they're worth the money.
My Poldiacs are all worth the money, and more. The clones, not so much. The 5 Poldiacs I use now are all authentics and totally worth the money and I have a large collection of spare parts for them. If I had my choice I would never use anything but a Poldiac.
I went through a period in which I was quite poor, but needed to get away from smoking, so clones were the thing then. After I began making good money I wanted authentics, and about that time MMV was starting to go down because of socialism in Greece and put all their Poldiacs on stock reduction prices. I eagerly grabbed all I could and was thoroughly delighted at what I got for my money.
My first Poldiac was the very last 18650 Uma Classic they ever sold. I just went from there grabbing all they had left that I could in the way of 18650 Poldiacs and parts I could get because that first one was all I could have wanted in a good mech. Top/side button, beautiful design and build quality, flawless performance, easy maintenance and simple design. I like simple. It was also heavy. I like heavy. Heavy is good and bespeaks quality.
Over time I ended up with 5 Poldiacs, and I'm urgently seeking more but they have become hard to find in 18650, if at all. At this point I'll buy them in any battery size for parts.
As I write this I'm vaping my DIY juice on a DID atop a Poldiac Aname Sleek built with 325 mesh to .7 ohm with 26 kanthal in a 5/6 wrap while sipping high end French absinthe. This is my quality time that gets me through an otherwise hard life. I will not give that up for anything.
There is a shoe box in my closet with all those clone mechs I had before in it. I won't be using those again.
