looking for a very good mechanical

[Stinkytofus]

whether its real or clone is okay...

my friend suggested:

authentic:
1. nemesis
2. kindred


clones:
1. nemesis
2. 4 nine
3. skeleton key
4. cartel

are these already good suggestions and should i look at the ones i like out of these and purchase or do you guys have even better ones?

 

[Evilocity]

The list is long haha, those are all good options.
Check out the Vanilla mod, copper penny mod, Stingray x, the Nanos by mm.
The nemesis is a proven classic, however I prefer a recessed firing switch for many reasons (safety and functionality).

The 4nine can be finicky and dangerous if not used properly, can fire easily in your pocket.

If you want small stealthy mod, that Nanos I mentioned is a bad mamma jamma. I believe only the authentic can be had as no one has cloned it as far as I know.

I agree with evilocity. I have a penny and vanilla both. They are my favorite mods. Hard hitting and quality. Both of mine are authentic. Both are over 100 new, and the penny is no longer made, so finding one can be a challenge.

I can't speak for the quality of the penny clone or vanilla clone as I have only handled authentic ones. If you are going for clones, the cartel clone is quite nice. So is the fuhattan clone.

 

[Evilocity]

As long as you stick with clones that have good reviews, the penny and vanilla are fantastic and reasonable. The authentic vanilla is reasonably priced imo and you wouldn't regret it.

Most websites that are reputable will have tons of reviews about the mod in question. Just make informed decisions about clones and you'll be fine.

120 or less for an authentic flagship mod. It's on the bigger side, over 4.25" but seems like a slick mod! Check out a few reviews.
I have 4nine clone and like it. It dings up easy, and you can explode a battery if you aren't careful.
Be safe! Good luck!
I'm pretty sure my next mech is going to be Reo Grand LT....

REO Grand LP mod with an RM4 topper is a beautiful thing! You get dripping with 6 mls of instant liquid.

I also own a Vanilla for dripping at home that I like topped with a Viking.

This! Despite my tube recommdations, I haven't touched one since I got my reo. It does everything a tube can and so much more. I just figured you were on a mission to get a tube so I obliged.

I HIGHLY recommend a Reo. It might be the last authentic you ever buy (and likely will be).

Sorry, I dropped the bait.. This is now a Reo thread. Your welcome and I'm sorry

I personally think a good 1:1 stainless steel nemesis clone is a great mech for beginners at a good price to see if the mech route is one that that truly want to follow.

 

[Maurice Pudlo]

Good at what?

Kill someone for a sterling silver Caravela, otherwise;

Buy whatever suits your idea of Good. If you can check prospects out in person its a good idea to do so, my idea of a smooth switch is not the same as others, my idea of beauty is skewed highly, and to me if she don't put out she needs to get out.

What's with the nemesis fascination? I just picked up a nemi clone and if that was my first mech experience I would have never wanted another. Hell if the op wants a nemi clone he can have mine and a helios that matches for a good deal

Did you get a crappy slowtech clone? the only problem ive had with my hcigar is the switch crunch which is easily fixed. And every nemmy including the authentic seem to have this problem.

 

[TimV30]

Not that I am aware of. I don't think crunchy is how to describe it. I had a crunchy black stingray. The button is more clicky. Makes a very audible click sound. That and it only fires if you push dead center.

Yup you need to fix it. takes about 20 mins. and upgrade to magnets as well. mine fires flawless no matter where my pinky hits it.

Looks like mine has already been sanded. Also does the nemesis come standard with silver plated contacts?

Its likely you are seeing machining marks and not sanding. Any decent clone I have seen does come with silver plated contacts. Redo the process in that thread i posted. Also upgrade to the magnets. and make sure you switch is screwed in tight. Also the switch contact pin is not adjustable even though many people think it is. It needs to be screwed tight as well. Dont over do it too much though Very first time i did this with some needle nose and I broke the head of the contact pin clean off. If you want to take the easy route to hide the click crunch switch, You can order the extended upper firing pin set from fatdaddyvapes this will reduce the throw of your switch and essentially gets rid of the click in the process. I did this before i sanded it and fixed it the proper way. If you get the extended pin you will use the mod with the beauty ring attatched.

 

[TimV30]

I will try that in a bit. If it doesn't help, then it's out of here. I have too many mods anyways
