Hey vets 
I'm playing with the idea of gettingy first mechanical mod. A bit of background - I've rebuilt for awhile now, on everything from Tobh, Vulcan, Lemo 2, Kayfun 4, Subtank Mini, all that jazz. I think I've pretty well got it down - I do still have the occasional "why is this *** thing not metering where I expect it to" moment, but that usually happens due to a sleepdeprived stupid moment (I do my rebuilding & my juice mixing both in the middle of the night, when the kids are asleep, lol) and after all, those moments are what an ohms meter is for, right?!
All I've used thus far have been regulated mods. I love em! My Tesla goes up to 120 watts and I have actually used it that high (on an 0.62 coil, believe it or not.. Clapton...'nuff said LOL) but my daily out-&-about is actually the iStick 50. Thing is, both of em get dropped often. I'm a klutz. They've both thus far been holding up like tanks, but I can't help but think it'd be nice to have an "old' Trusty" laying around for peace of mind!
I've done a lot of research.. Vape safe fuses, etc... I'm using Samsung 25r's in my Tesla, would prob go with either another set of those (one to use, one to charge) or else get a couple VTC5s... A kick doesn't seem worth it to me, honestly... I DIY juice so I kinda enjoy seeing how flavors change at different power, I never leave my settings the same more than a couple hours anyway...
My main question is, what would be the best one to start? Or the ones to definitely stay away from? From what I've read, I definitely am scared of hybrids, but if that's dumb please tell me...
I do want a clone, probably, re price point... Batts etc I'll drop some dough, not so much for the mod itself until I've played with mechs awhile & get the inevitable shinyitis again... I am hoping for not over 30 on the mod itself, if that's even possible...
Sorry for writing so much!! But thanks in advance for y'all giving your time
