hi guys, with my b'day coming up (and 2nd anny as a vaper), It's time to get me some "here... your deserve it for being such a good boy.." gift and wanted to ask:

- I'm buying a 3rd Reo Grand, already have two, which I modified myself with pure silver & copper contacts. they give me the lowest drop of all the mechs I have (I get 4 volts on a .5 coil with VCT4s)

- a provari mini with entension tube. I lost my one and only provari during the past year, haven't replaced it. Even though I'm mostly into RBA/rda, now and then I like to pop a carto, put it on the tank and forget about the whole thing. a provari to me is the best thing for my carto needs (it can take a beating, that's for sure).

A know a provari 3 is soon to be relesaed, but I don'tlive in the USA . I'm visiting very soon and will be buying what there in the market

- one Chana 30W box (which I could buy a ZNA, but I hate hunting for devices)


AND HERE LIES THE QUESTION

A want to buy also, a MECH that has the lowest voltage drop. I'm eye balling an iHybrid Trinity 18650 Pure Copper

But I also want to ask:

what the best mech mod based on:

lowest voltage drop,
availability
looks
price

I really dont care much about price, but it would be nice to have some option in the 'bout $200, below $150 and below $100

as I mentioned, lowest voltage drop for sub-ohm is the most important criteria
then availability
then looks
then price

I have the money to spend, but I dont care if it's a cheapo clone (I'm much enjoy dripping on a copper sentinel m16 clone from fasttech right now)

I also enjoy my k100 (surprisingly low v-drop)

my REOS

my bunch of clones

help is appreciated

oh, forgot to mention,

I bought a Futura 20 watts when 20 watts was the max evolv had. Piece of cr*p didn't last 2 months of being dropped on the floor all the time. That's why I'd like to stick to tank-like devices for regulated stuff. the provari is there.

Stuff I've bought and no longer are among us: Futura DNA 20, Vamo v3, Provari v2, Chi-you, MKB-Ts, Smok Natural, real Immortalizer and a whole bunch of cheapy RDAs

NANOS | Nanos Single tube | mmvapors.com

I would recommend the Nanos from MMVapors. This is a new mod that is in stock and available for purchase. This mod has very low voltage drop, is very short, has a very slick switch which has six small magnets that provide the spring function as well as the locking function. You just rotate the button 7mm to lock or unlock, you can just flick it with your finger while holding the mod in your hand.
Myself and two of my friends have these Nanos mods and have really enjoyed them.
On the website they say to not go below .5 ohms, but that is just to protect the manufacturer if you would put it in your pocket without locking it. We use them at .2 ohms and have not seen any heat at all in the switch.

Hi Porter, looks like a winner! what was the vdrop @ .2 ohms?

Sorry, but I can't answer about the voltage drop at .2 ohms. The reason is in my group of vapers we do all voltage drop tests with a 1 ohm build and a Sony VTC4 battery so we are always comparing "apples to apples", in other words everyone is testing the same regardless of the mod being used.
At the 1 ohm build and the Sony battery we get around a .07 voltage drop on the Nanos, which is mostly all due to the internal resistance of the battery.

SCORE!

I bought a Lernaia Hydra & Zorbas attachment for $112 from VaperVenue!!!!!!!

It's discounted at $150, and then while I was on the site a 25% discount code popped up

as a mech it may not be the one with the lowest drop, but man to me that mod looks classy

BINGO!


the provari ain't coming back (unless the p3 reaches at least 25 or 30 watts)

bought a pegassus clone (it appears to perform slighty better than the original, at least from the reviews on you tube)

and I just found the manhattan for $230! (not the $300 something they ask for in Canada!)

still, will hold on the high end mech until I'm in usa next week, want to visit a few shops in Austin

Any pointers to the best brick'n mortar shops there?

regards
