If I was cloud chasing, I wouldn't
buy a parallel mech. Two-battery regulated
mods have far surpassed them in power available and always were a lot safer. This is not to say mechs don't have a place. I have a number of them and I use them a lot. But for high power work, I'd go regulated. Nowadays, mechs are a special purpose thing, mostly reserved to those who like fiddling with coil builds to adjust power, or who prefer the simplicity. You can buy a
sigelei 150 watt machine (new old stock, non TC) for about the price of that Hell's gate, and it's about 60% more powerful than you can get safely out of a parallel box.
