Looking to buy a new (high end) mechanical; any recommendations?

[ins0mnia]

Hi guys,

So I've been looking around and researching, kind of landed on those:

1. Nemesis "vaperev edition" (I like the dual tone, unfortunately not in stock Nemesis "Vaperev Edition")

2. Pisces T (Pisces T Mod - Mechanical - Devices - couldn't find a version with brass/gold plated top/bottom caps)

3. Origin (couldn't find anyone that have it in gold plated/brass top/bottom caps)

4. Sentinel V4 (Grand Vapor is sort of the "safe" choice for me)

It's a tough choice, but which one would you go for, if any.

Thanks

If you like dual tone mods I'm fond of my poldiac easy to get Well built and plenty of finish combinations

Are you tied to bottom button? I'm a huge fan of side buttons, specif top-side, which basically comes down to the roller by atmizoo. The silver bullet, I believe, isn't a pure mech in that it's a wired switch. Love my roller-im.

Thanks for the reply guys, yeah I'm sort of after bottom button, I got my provari and GGTS so I thought I'd try something new. The Nemesis Celeste is also on my list after seeing this (!) Blue-ish Gold | Vapeporn but my understanding is the waiting list is long so gotta settle on something else..

What's your timeframe to make the purchase?

What's your timeframe to make the purchase?

I'm in no rush to decide on one right now, but it would be nice if I could have something by christmas (I wouldn't wait 6 months for the Precise for example). The main thing for me is that it hits hard with no surprises on the voltage drop, solid bottom switch (Nemesis / Sentinel V4 are good example), looks good, could match with the Prometheus / Trident / Crown (my stack will eventually include both normal and gold plated version of each, hence the "dual tone" thing but it's not a must the Celeste is a good example of a nice fit) and kayfun Lite.

I'm an IT guy with "pixel perfect" eyes, I know this sounds picky, but I am looking for the perfect match, one that looks uniquely good and I would pay for quality and design for the same reason people pay for an Apple product for example.

Go check out "Bay City Vapor" on FB. You'll find mods like this:

Last improvement was the redesign of the top cap.

US (SoCal) based and all at a fair price. With lots of options.

REO Grand if you are interested in a BF MOD. Very nice solid unit.

The JM22 Brass Limited Edition is something I looked into as well http://www.jmmods.pl/galeria/org/20130920064518.jpg couldn't find where to buy it either

And there's the Origin: http://legadgets.com/content/images/thumbs/0003414_origin-mod-special-edition.jpeg

Those two are high on my list

I cant say enough good things about the Zenesis 2.

Fully modular, everything fits on everything, so you can buy pieces and add to your collection easily.

First thing I bought was a genesis hybrid, and its one of my most used devices. 18650 mode most of the time.

Then I bought a DX350, which is the 18350 mech. I run this daily with any of my Silica drippers.

Because of the modularity, I can also have an 18350 genny hybrid and an 18650 mech, simply by switching the caps.


I plan on getting another genesis hybrid once the blue ones come out, and the Carto hybrids/tanks should be in stock soon as Ive been waiting for those too.


there is also the SteamMonkey Z2 stuff, which is a full line of RDA hybrids, 510 mechs, top caps, switches and tubes.. all mods on their own, ALL of which fit on any of the Zenesis 2 stuff, due to the modularity and Zens open source thread design. SteamMonkey has a unique RDA which can be bought as a hybrid or as the RDA itself. Also makes switches and 510 caps.


IF you like the design of the Zenesis devices, you really cant go wrong with the Z2 lineup.

Sounds like you are leaning towards a ss/brass mod.
Don't have any personal experience with anything you listed other than the Nemesis.
I like the Nemesis well enough to have a pair of polished ones.
Something else I have that does have the brass accents is the Atomo.

I probably like the Atomo more (aesthetically) than the Nemesis but they are both great mods and I could be happy with either.
The bottom cap/switch is also brass on the Atomo but have been cut off in this pic.

Juice squonker??? That's new.. Never heard of it.

The guys who own REO's came up with defining the bottom feed procedure calling it "squonk". When you squish the bottle to feed your atomizer its a "squonk." Quite popular terminology now.

Hi guys! Just a quick update! I checked out the Zenesis (Awesome! but didn't have enough tubes in stock) and after spending the whole Sunday checking the different options I ended up buying this http://vapersisland.eu/user/images/1377185055_brushed set.jpg (JM22 limited edition) and I will be matching it with a custom ordered old plated version of the Prometheus which should look like this

THANK you all for the feedback and advice!!

Ummm, people buy apple products because Steve Jobs was a cult of personality. They use the same components as PC's but with proprietary connectors, at a 300% markup... At least think of a good analogy to justify a high-end purchase. Like AW vs. eFest...
