First High end Mech

[Leithan]

So I'm looking to reward myself, 4 months cig free. That's twice as long as I ever made it in 16+ years of smoking. Iv been researching and reading on the different mech mods. I don't really have a preference as far as single tube or telescoping. I am kind of basing my decision on ones that are available. So far this is my list, I know a lot of you high end guys collect, so chances are you have a few that are on the list. I don't really want ultra shiny as this will most likely be a user and not a shelf queen. Thank you for any help you can lend me.
List so far:
Atmo 69
EA mod
GP Paps
Poldiac
I have seen reviews on most of these Mods, I was just looking for some input from end users who have put some time on the devices.

I own all the mods you listed, my re-buys would be paps (lux if you can get it, gold contacts) or poldiac. The poldiac requires a little more maintenance on the contacts but they hit the hardest and are reasonably attainable. Both are in a class of their own.

I bought an Atom apv. It's a telescope. And is a very well built product. I have no complaints about it at all and may buy an other as a spare.

I like the looks of the satin Poldiac, I also like that MM always seems to have repair parts in stock, one of my concerns with a mod especially because I plan on using it. Maintenance doesn't worry me. The only concern I have is with the switch being too stiff. I haven't ever used one, but it was a complaint that a reviewer had.

I've found the poldiac switch perfect on the weight. Not too stiff, not too light, and no misfires or light fires (not quite contacting). In bottom button config its a bit stiff, only because its a pinky fire. In top (thumb) button config its perfect.

I can't imagine what reviewer would report the Poldiac switch as being stiff. I have two of them. I don't find them stiff at all. To me, it's one of the smoothest switches there is. Switch maintenance isn't hard at all, once you've done it.
