I like mods with the spring in the bottom button with the different body pieces. Any other suggestions mate?

Wish I did, but I am sure more suggestions will come along. I am a magnet button fan myself. Nothing against your preferences. I hope you find one that makes you happy.

It has to support 18650, 18500 and 18350 batteries it has to be bottom button and be any color but copper. If it looks stylish that would be best. Also a new RDA with dual coil capability and a deepish dish for cotton. Under 100$. Anything would help.

For under $100 for both and you say you want a bottom firing button only, you're looking at being able to purchase clones only. For $100 you can find a mod and an RDA but if you meant $100 total for a complete setup it will cost more than $100, because you still need good batteries and a good charger and a voltage reader and if you're going to rebuild your own coils you need an Ohm reader, kanthal, wicking material, stainless steel tweezers, a butane torch, precision screwdrivers and or various drill bit sizes, wire cutters or nail clippers and depending on the kanthal you may need pliers and a sharp pair of scissors.

As for hardware with a decent to good size drip well you can try a Stillare clone or Tobh atty v2 clone. For a mod you said you don't like the Nemesis and don't want magnets or copper....hmmm!!! The King II mod maybe a good one to get? I've only tried the authentic but it's a nice design and hits pretty good and comes in Stainless or Brass.

I have everything already I have been vaping for a while I'm just looking to drop the money on the mod itself and a RDA I got all my batteries already also.

I am not very knowledgeable in mech mods but I am following this post because I too want to get a mech mod as me next purchase. I am currently using a Smok Zmax and its a piece of junk.

Yeah I'm using a k103 and it's a piece of ..... If you havnt checked out the caravela I would I had mine for at least 6 months and it worked perfect until my friend messed up the locking ring.

I am not a big fan of the Nemesis Either. The two mech mods I've really enjoyed, was the Caravela mod and the King mod (no logo) The caravela's might be a bit picky with different batteries, since there is a fixed size center pin, but that is rectified by having a slight gap by the locking ring. The King V2 mod I love, but it's a matte finish and a bit heavy. Both have very good locking mechanisms with a 1/2 turn to lock, but I use the King mod more because you can set it down on a table without having to worry about it firing or if it's locked.

I have been looking at the Stingray X, but I'm afraid it's locking ring is threaded 20x.5 which means lots of turns to lock it like the nemesis. It does look good though. The SS 49 mod looks nice, but I'm afraid it'll be finiky with the batteries due to it's design. This Cartel mod looks nice too, but man, it looks HEAVY.

As far as an RDA, the Patriot is good if you don't mind drilling out your own airholes.. it's price is right, has dual o-rings, and uses a phillips. The Helios might be easier to work on.

So what is a good setup to buy without having to drill out airholes and messing with the mod? I want a setup that is ready to go after I purchase it. I will likely be buying it from fasttech.

Lol.. sometimes I feel guilty for linking so many fasttechs, but they've become my main supplier. :) The Caravela mod was ready to go out of the box.. no fiddling, just a wash and polish. The IGO-M has plenty of airflow, just watch out for overfilling.. it almost has TOO much airflow. :) The TOBH has become fairly popular, and yes, it's dual coil design.

If it were me, I would look into the Cartel Mod. To me, it just feels awesome! As far as an RDA, I have the Magma and a Patriot. The Magma I can get 25+ drops in to it but I want more airflow. I took my Patriot and drilled out the air holes to 3/64 and it is freekin awesome! That being said, your vaping may vary.

Stainless Steel Patriot RDA Clone | Origin Vape

I have an authentic Patriot v1.2 and looked at "clones" of the Patriot with and without the logo just out of curiosity and it from what I've seen is not a "clone." Why? The "clone" only has 1 air flow hole. the "clone is 20 mm, the authentic is 22 mm, and 20 mm won't sit flush on any mod and the posts are thinner and the screws are smaller on the "clone".
