I'm looking for a mech to pocket carry daily. I've been using a K100, but looking for something a little smaller. I'd like suggestions on bottom firing mech, bottom button lockable, 18490/18500 or possibly a 14650, non-telescopic (trying to keep it as slim and simple as possible) . So far, I'm considering the Wu Tang Bagga, Gus v2 18500, Zen Z2 Dx490 (doesn't lock). Can you think of any others I'm missing. Oh, most importantly I'd like to stay around $150 or so max.

The "Don," or Megalodon, is a pure mechanical, bottom fired mod. It has interchangeable configurations (non-telescopic) and works with nearlyeverybattery type. Only grade B version is currently available.
*I actually own the grade B version; aside from it not having brass connections, you would never know the difference. The description says it has minor blemishes, but I do not have any. Plus, you can purchase the brass connections separately. It's definitely worth checking out.
SIDE NOTE: For use with an 18650 and kicker, or 18500 battery, you need to purchase the extension sleeve. Only $20, so it's not that big of a deal.
GRADE B: Stainless Steel Megalodon - Moju Republic

Precise Simplicity
This one looks sweet. How hard would it be to find a topper that is roughly the same size? I'll have to see what I can find. Right now I've got EVODs & T3s, RSST, 17 & 22mm carto tanks. Wonder if there are any mini genesis or mini RBAs out there.
Vamo
I've got a Smoktech Sid. It's decent, they're both the same chipset. Size of the vamo in 18350 is still huge compared to a mech. I think in 18350 mode it's close to the size of a ProVari

I see from your sig you have two. How do you like them? What kind of toppers do you run on yours?
Actually I was considering those 2 as well (the gus and bagga). The Bagga by Wu Tang is supposed to be a great bang for a buck mod that hits hard...although since they are both (decently expensive) Philippian mods with limited availability in the USA they don't have that much reviews and feedback. I know many southern california vape stores in the US had both of these in stock though.
It would be nice if someone who knew more about these two mods can give us more feedback on them. Which one is better between those 2, and is there any other mods that match their performance in the ~$150 mech mod price range? I was actually gonna pick up the bagga until I saw a review that said the bottom button is inconvenient and prone to misfires, and that the reviewer's pinky was hurting because of the design of it. Anyone care to expand on this or clarify it? That is probably my only concern on the Bagga, aside from how it compares to the gus and other ~$150 mech mods.

Im preaty sure the Precise Simplicity has a 19mm diameter top, so theres a lot that will match, Penny, spheroid, 19mm IB tanks, Protank, Kayfun mini,etc. pick your poisen. I think a Tatroe Protank would look the heat on one.
What they're referring to with the sore finger from firing is because of the way the button in inset into the device. there are little arches cut out of the body (similar to the design of the iHybrid only smaller. I've seen a few reviews of iHybrid users complaining about the same thing).
Crap, I could of swore I saw a pic with one with a penny on it and it was the same Diameter. Sorry OP, thats what I get for assuming
TWO WORDS: iHybrid Pure! ONLY $99 & schedueled to be available at the end of this month. Ive only been vaping a couple months, however you don't have to take just my word for it:<strong>
It happens, the Penny is 17mm, just a hair bigger. The size difference is less noticeable than the fact one has a "ribbed" matte finish and one is polished.
