I'm ready for a mech

[AveryW]

As the subject line says, im ready. I'm looking for input on mech, rda, and charger. I already have an igow and w3 and im going to get one or two vtc5s. I'm looking for a clone mech with pretty much next to no voltage drop, smooth fire, and a real nice clone rda, what suggestions you got? Also, what's a decent charger that isn't put the wazoo expensive.

I've only used the FT nemesis so far, but i'm loving it.
Bought the brass nemesis and colored aluminium tubes (for looks + less voltage drop)
As everyone says "it hits like a truck" Well it's realy awesome. I havent messured the voltage drop though.

$19.79 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - brass version at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$9.59 3-Piece Anodized Aluminum Tubes for Nemesis - 18350&18500&18650 tubes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
^ that's my setup.

Using a kayfun clone with it.

For charge nitecore i4 is a nice one.

I've also heard good things about xtar charger.

RDA, i like the Gaia dripper it's amazing. However one minor thing is the holes in the pin posts are abit small it's rather hard to build a dualcoil in them. (I'm still learning though, so might be me having troubles only.)
Quick review of it:

Hope i helped you alittle bit.

You will also need to get something to measure your coil builds and battery status: a DMM or Ohm & Volt meter.

Man, there are a ton of good clones out there.

One with low voltage drop? The Electric Angel by EHPro... EHPro EA Mod Bundle

I have the EA by ehpro, it's made extremely well and performs flawlessly. It is a bottom side fire style mod; some like this type of mod and some don't.

For a charger - I use the Nitecore i4 and have been very pleased.

Already got a multimeter, but with this order I'm going to get at ohm/volt 510 just for ease of use

Man that looks nice, I've always loved the idea of side fire but they're always so expensive. I love my kfl+ clone by EHPro, are they're mod clones just as good quality wise?
Edit: This is right in my price range

IMO... EHPro and Hcigar make the best clones out there.

Watch some video reviews on the EHPro EA clone - bet you won't find a negative one out there.

I use mine daily, topped with either a KFL+ or Aqua (both EHPro clones)

I also have an Nzonic clone by EHPro and it is just as nice as the EA. I believe the EA performs better though - less V drop

Here's a link to the Nzonic... The EHPro Nzonic

Damn that looks nice, thanks a lot for the info.

I remember reading about a month or so ago everyone flipping their lids over the hcigar nemmy with magnets or a Stingray clone. Are they great performers or was that just a big fad?

The Nzonic has a bottom fire magnet switch that works well.

One nice thing about the EA that may appeal to some people is it has both 510 and ego threading. I don't use anything with ego threading with it but it's there if you need it.

I've had a Nemisis mech with the magnets for about a month now and it's a great mod. In fact I enjoy it so much I ordered another in stainless steel, the one I have is in copper. I also have a vanilla mod and the only reason I prefer it is because of the locking ring. The vanilla's switch is butter smooth, compared to the nemisis, and the reverse threaded locking ring spins with a flick of my finger. Still, for the money, you can't really go wrong with the nemisis. You get a smooth switch, tubes for all three sized batteries, a kick ring and you can find vendors on ebay that will also sell you the magnet upgrade for the switch. Mine cost about $40 with the magnet upgrade and shipping. Definitely worth the investment, IMHO.

Hope this helps!

Does the copper leave any smell on you're skin? Also, does the nemmy have a locking ring, if so, is it at least decent?

I have a HCigar Nemmy (also have a HCigar Chi You & a Caravela) The nemmy clone comes with the same problems as a OEM Nemmy So it's a true 1-1 clone, and you will want to get the FatDaddyVales magnets & contact screws. (and that makes them cost more)

Of the three HCigar clones that I have, I would rate the Caravela as the best overall when used as a pure mechanical, and the Nemmy best when using a Kick.

This is exactly what I would have suggested as well. I have both the EHPro clone and an authentic EA mod, for the money the clone may be the best on the market. Love the fact it is telescopic so fits all batteries and toppers without issues and voltage drop is among the best even when tested against authentics. Really can't go wrong with this.

The Nemis are great too but can be hit or miss depending on the maker, batch, etc. but they work well. Clone RDA I'd suggest a Quasar or Stillare if you are looking for big direct lung hits from a dripper with AFC.

Good luck!

Same here!
Can't just have 1 nemmy

Definitely want big lung hits. I've been using my igow with drilled holes on my mvp and it's practically ruined my kfl+ for me, lol. But the mvp is cutting it anymore, I need more tasty vape!

One more question. Would I want my battery to be flat top or button top?

It depends.

I've seen guys fight a never ending battle, when a different battery would have fixed the problem with ease.

Copper body mechs generally have less drop off. silver plated or copper contacts help as well. The adjustable airflow RDA's will give you the most versatility. Chargers are a troublesome spot to save money. Use caution in charging with a cheap charger.
