I have searched high and low for that mod to fit my preferences.
So far I have tried a NGP ring hybrid and was not impressed with the ring mechanism needing continuous cleaning.
Also the chrome finish started wearing off within weeks.
Currently using a AGA-T atomiser on a gripper mod. Not bad but the AGA looks out of place on the gripper. Love the AGA BTW and the gripper is definitely not a long term type of mod. But not bad for the price and can push a 1.2 ohm winding.

So what I would like to find is a mod that:
-Takes 18650 only so no extentions and not telescopic.
-Chrome finish to match my AGA and ends as flush as possible. 22mm? And a finish which can be polished back without wearing off within weeks.
-Short as possible so mechanical would likely be the ticket.
-Keeping the addition of a kick add on an option.
I like the bottom magnetic switch used in the Diablo hybrid. At least from the readings.

EDIT: In further looking an 18650 Diablo "NON" hybrid with a 510 would be so cool.

So the end unit would be a very basic tube but made of top materials and as basic as possible wasting 0 space but joining up with the AGA as close as possible.

I actually like the look of the SB but the way the switch is mounted seems to waste some length. And I have a gun metal Bolt which again the finish started to look like crap within a couple weeks. Even feels ugly now. Also found out the internal wiring is very thin gauge wire. Perhaps a safely design but I don't like it as i'm sure there must be some voltage drop there. Anyone know if this the case with the SB as well?

Any help on my search would be much appreciated.

The Natural by Smoktech sounds like it will fit the bill the closest, although it does have extension tubes instead of a single tube. It allows for 18350, 18500+kick and 18650. It's all stainless, can be totally torn down and polished to match the aga, or the aga can be torn down and brushed to match the mod itself. Just be sure to get flat tops for it.

A few minutes with a dremel will knock the 510 connector down and the positive pin is adjustable for a nice flush fit on the aga.

It's about 108mm long in 18650 mode and my panasonic 2250 batteries fit perfectly (Flats, not button). From what I've read, the panasonic 2900s should also fit at 65mm in length but I'm not sure if they're ideal for a mechanical.

Best of luck, just thought I'd throw in my 2c ;)

The Curve. 18650 tube mod. You can use it with an 18490 and a Kick as well. You can get it with Brass or Stainless Steel top and bottom caps.
The Curve

The Kicked Curve. Same as above, but designed with the Kick in mind. Uses an 18650 and a Kick. No other battery configurations that I know of work with it. If you want get it you must use the Kick and an 18650.

The Curve looks awesome. Couple things that bother me though. The description for the Kicked version states the same as the non-kicked in that it can be used with 18650 "OR" 18500 + Kick. Likely just a cut and paste and never edited the description, over-site but? Hate ordering the wrong thing.
Also, there are times when I like to stand it on it's end which this switch prevents in this mod. As well as been a little long again due to the switch length.
I know I'm picky but have the time so why not?
Thanks guys and keep the ideas rolling. Speaking of which, the Roller looks nice except for it been telescopic.

One more.

Saber Touch Kick Edition. It has a unique touch sensitive button, uses an 18650 and a kick or 18650 with an included battery extender, and comes with a five year warranty. The Saber Touch is probably the most customizable mod on the planet. You choose the color, tube design, end caps, and battery configuration. The site is a bit wonky and a little confusing, but at the end of the day it's about the mod and the customer service you get.

Saber "Kick" Edition

You might be able to squeeze a kick into a Natural with the 18500 tube + the 18650 tube and dump the 18350 tube. You might have to adjust the positive pin or get a longer one though. A Brass M4 x 0.70 will thread in to the insulator if you're careful with it, though the original threading looks like its 0.45 or 0.50. Just some food for thought.

The 18500 tube vs the 18350 tube should be enough clearance for a kick.

No clue why you have this back-off on telescopes, since these allow for a wider variety of batteries to be installed and is far more user friendly. In other words, no futzing around.

Here is a pic of my Roller with AGA-T2 ... it's a superb mod, permits for a complete flush mount too. (Unfortunately since Atmizoo only uses DHL shipping services, you are gonna get stiffed for $77 couriering when all is said and done to Canada.)

But here is probably what fit's your bill best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD3ZedHQVlw
(You can use a kick with a 18650 battery)

Edit: Actually a kick fits the Roller too with a 18650 battery.
