I looking for my second mech mod. I'm an experienced vapor I build my own coils and know my battery safety but I'm tired of my electrical mods dying all the time. I have an authentic SMPL mod but I don't like the hybrid top-cap. Can yall recommend me a mech that only uses 1 18650 (I don't use any other size), No copper body, no hybrid cap, good venting, some kind of self adjusting battery rattle preventer like the SMPL firing button. I don't want anything I have to modify:-x. I don't care where the firing button is but I prefer it on the bottom. I'm not too picky about the price but I'm trying to keep it under $100. Expensive mods($200+) are out of the question:lol:. I also don't mined buying clones. Thanks for any suggestion I get!

Based on what you said, I'd suggest you look for a telescopic.
I like my astro, but I don't think you'd find one anymore.

Other than that one, I like my sentinel because it's a cheap (got it for like $10) easy telescopic with spring loaded centerpin. Only (partly) downside is no room for a kick but on the other hand the design means if you get another one you can add a section from it and get the extra room (which I did, it's only $10).

TEPHRA 1 MOD - VOLCANO e-Cigs

I don't own one, but I've been thinking about one of these for awhile now, just so I can "accessorize". Lol.

If your "verified", there's someone in the classifieds selling a GP Paps dirt cheap.

$17.40 Stingray Style Mechanical Mod - 18350/18500/18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have one of these and have never had an issue with it. Seems to check all your boxes! You can probably find a US retailer for around the same price with faster shipping.

Good luck!

    I'm gonna suggest a slightly different approach , have you considered getting a squonker ? You can get a Reo for $130 that will last you a long time .

    Consider a Panzer, it is after all named after a tank. Good venting, real easy to deal with floating center pin, but a bit on the heavy side. Its second from the right.

    Electronicstix.com has the DX650 made by House Of Hybrids in stainless steel for $25.

    ...noted and purchased.

    I can't resist a deal and a $120 mod for 25 bucks, well, that's just irresistible. Feels like the piper is calling all of these mod makers that were charging ridiculous prices for a metal tube mod. I'm loving it and taking full advantage.

    The Able mods are authentic?...or clones?

    I've been considering a clone, but haven't seen much information or feedback on them.

    Hey GP, they are clones. The copper one came from Focalecig, the brass one came from ebay. No complaints on these, they work great.

    BOL.
