Hi everyone!

I'm looking at purchasing my first mech mod. I'm really not all that versed into what I should be looking for. The only thing I know about mech mods is battery safety hehe.
I'm really not looking into sub-ohming just yet but if the device could handle that as well it'd be a plus. It would be used with 1.2ohm+ atty for now.
The first one I'd buy would be a clone, so is there any particular one to look at? They all seem similar to me.

Gettting a Magma for my Provari sparked some interest into mechanicals, I'd prefer if it was on FT. I've been looking at the Stingray X and I like the fact it comes with 3 different battery configs.

Any other recommendations?:confused:

Stingray X - copper/Stainless would be an excellent first Mod.
Simple to set up
Versatile in configuration
Easy to maintain
Locks for safe transport
Great Pocket Mod in 18350 mode w/Kayfun Nano

I have this style set up with a Magma w/Duals at .65ohm Efest Purple 18350 Rayon wicks
Looks/Works Great!!

Warning - Never sit one down unlocked.................................. Don't Ask:facepalm:

I own this exact mod and have pushed it extremely hard with supersubohm use, it's still hanging in there like a champ. Zero complaints at all!

I also had the FT Paragon clone(the "1:1" version) and while it was very nice I did have to swap out the top contact for one from my Panzer because the brass top contact threads were extremely loose and the pin fell out every time I changed batteries. Other than that, it was fantastic.

Edit: of those two, I would easily choose the Stingray X. I still have my Stingray X but I sold off the Paragon, if that tells you anything.
