OK just so you know this is my second rendition to make this post easy as possible for the reader i was explaining too much LOL. like now so here goes.

First I need a mech mod for my genny. Second i will be paying with couch change as i have no disposable income currently and may not have any for a little while (months) so I'm kinds buying something i cant afford so i cant exactly have what i want (i currently have some egos (2) and a vamo (but the button is broken, it sticks and does not work without playing with it)

So i like the natural (cant afford it no way) it may not even be good so someone tell me its crap so i feel better about getting something else I am also VERY open to other mech mod suggestions if you have any.
Right now i just need a mech and don't want to make one)

Now this is and should be bottom of the barrel here but bottom of the working barrel so The following are what i have seen that i think i could afford although i might only be able to get the bottom one......
Starting from most expensive and what i think to probably be best i could and am often wrong.

SO WE HAVE

  • The Segelie Telescope ( the one that uses extension tubes and i believe has a pinky button.)
  • The Metal Bolt (i believe these come with a small extension tube to fit either an 18650 or a kicked 18500? but it does fit the 18500)
  • The PLASTIC Bolt No extension ring PLASTIC body made to fit an 18650 simple and cheap. (might be best option untill i can get something worth it but only if it would even last long enough to become a backup one day making the metal the only solution)

I will be getting the best a can afford and since i cant affrd anything it will be the cheapest one that has yet to blow up on anyone and since its going to be an at home only device for my gennys it does not need to be built like a tank just not made from duct tape and superglue.

Lastly as I don't have the money really and i think i should, Should i get a fuse now or wait until i can afford the reusable one? I also will be metering my batteries and already got that sorted.

So needing a Mech for under $40 shipped what would you get ($40 is about all i can hopefully come up with lower is better i also need to get some kanthal wire too so yeah)

help me figure out how to get this square screw into this triangle bolt LOL.

So Really at this point i need to know about the fuse right away or when i get more money?
Also is anything cheaper than the plastic bolt? and is the plastic bolt TERRIBLE?
I just want to spend as little as possible (make an unseen purchase really) and $20 gets noticed here and fast so being under $20 the plastic bolt gets my vote right now. (I would rather the natural or the natural looking Segelie or an actual GGT (i forget the names of the mods that these are ripping off sometimes and thats sad. oh well.

TIA guys and gals

Thanks for your reply
 
I may be mistaken, but I believe every mod you listed, is not actually mechanical.

I KNOW the Bolt is not, as it has thin wiring for the switch.

I believe I read that the telescope also has wires.

I'd recommend the K100 for the price plus the finish is really good and performs better than the sigelei telescope. I'm also planning on getting one too.
Here are mine, 18350 mode with IGO-L, 18650 mode with AGA-T, flattop 18650 battery for size comparison. I should have also gotten the golden colored one...

I too have been thinking about either the CCTS (I LOVE the looks of the two tone ones that are floating around) and or maybe that Smok "Natural", the flat top improved(?) one. The K100 is interesting too but I think I like the idea of that "pinky button" better than one on the bottom.
