I have a gold trident clone. I believe its gold plated brass. In the future I don't wan't AFC. I prefer to drill hole(s) to taste over fiddling w/ tight AFC.

I agree. I did drill the holes on my trident clone because of the 4 single coil holes: the largest is very loose, next down was slightly too tight, and the 2 smallest were worthless. So I drilled the first 3 to: slightly tight (1/16), just right (#50), and slightly loose (5/64). I find my self switching holes depending on the mood.

I set my Trident clone up for the first time yesterday. 2 micro coils at about 1.3 ohms each with cotton. It's been a great vape on a KTS or a K100 and looks OK on both. I'm still working with the stock double holes and don't really mind the airy draw, but I think a trip to the drill press is in order too.

Honestly, I'll be damned if I can tell any significant difference between the high end mech mods or why they should differ in performance. And given their complexity (or lack thereof), why they should could cost as much as they do. If China can clone them and retailers only want $50 a pop, clearly there are some supply and demand (artificial scarcity), exclusivity and illusion of value issues going on that simple mods can command $200-300. I don't want to hear the "work of art" argument either. A metal tube with an engraving or two is not art. My iTaste 134 has more design work than most of these mech mods. That being said, I do like them even though I'm only willing to spend about $50 on one.

Now that I've made a lot of people get butthurt, I don't want to hear justifications for their purchases. I just want to hear what mod clone and RDA (clone) combo you think is best. I'm not looking for a tank style like a Genesis or Kayfun/Russian/Taifun. Mechanical simplicity and raw performance is what I'm after.

Nemesis clone with a Trident? Caravella with a Nimbus? King with an Immortalizer?

As with the mech mods, I don't see any reason for simple rebuildable drippers to cost anywhere near as much as they do, because clearly the Chinese replicas don't.

I've about had it w/ the Trident tight lung pull draw. I'm headed to the drill press also. The stock China holes are out of alignment so it will be interesting.
