M16 vs Turtle Ship vs Origin (Clones)

[E Newbie]

Looking to go a little lower in ohms than my mvp will allow. Found these 3 in stock at a us store I trust but not sure which one to get. Google didn't really bring much info on these clones. Anyone own any of these? Sentinel M16 clone by hcigar, Turtle Ship mod clone and SS Origin mod clone.

If you can shine any light on these or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. This will be my first mod so I'm shooting for a quality budget friendly device.

you should buy all three, not even kidding. buy them ALL. here is why

The best way to learn about stuff is to own them.
#1 You can only learn so much from text and videos as opposed to owning everything at the same time so you can work on them while you learn off the internet.
#2 The three items you mentioned. is a 24mm a 22mm and a 21 mm device.
Atomizers come in all sorts of sizes, mostly 21mm and 22mm and some just look cooler on an M16.
So you WILL need to own different mods to get that flush mounted look for different attachments you'll end up buying anyways.
#3 Some of the items you mentioned are kick compatible, some are not, and some are telescopic. Same reasoning as #2. You will come across different times when you'll need different attributes.
#4 THEY CLONES! THEY ARE CHEAP!

so get them all, seriously, get them all. I'm not egging you on, I'm not being a troll.
all three you mentioned are good mods, read the reviews, I bet you they're all 4+ star items right? get them.

I don't own any of these, but I'm seriously considering buying an Origin. So I'm probably doing some of the same "research" as you.

The Sentinel M16 is brass & aluminum, whereas the other 2 are stainless steel (durability). It's a telescoping mod, whereas the other 2 have different tube lengths; some people love telescopers, some hate them (wobbly).

The Turtle Ship, as far as I know, is only being made by Tobeco. Most reviewers feel that Hcigar & EHpro have better quality.

I think the Origin is being made by Tobeco, EHpro & Hcigar (can you say confusing?). Bucky's Bargain Vaping https://buckysbargainvaping.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=40 has both the EHpro & Hcigar versions for side-by-side comparison. They may be $10-$20 more than the Tobeco, but are supposedly worth it.

Good luck. Post a review of the Origin if you get one; it's new and there's very little info available.

No experience with the Turtleship, but out I LOVE the M16. I like it better than the Neme, King, Chi-You, Origin, etc.

Right now it is my favorite clone.

Be aware that some alloy headed mods can strip out in a heartbeat, my M16 clone won't take anything now except RG500's because half the threading fell out, a shame but a common prob felt by many lol

I'm still loving me Nemmy, got some specialist polish today and its sitting there with the KFL and both gleaming like wet glass.

The Origin clone in SS matches the Aqua clone design so if you want a whole finished look, that could be good too and the Origin is pretty good.

FT origin is a stunning slim beauty. Fantastic companion for those 21 mm and smaller toppers like IGO-W, IGO-F, FT i-atty, FT cobra, etc.

Biggest complaint is switch post fits very loose in the switch hole. Can feel about 0.3 mm switch button lateral play. Can tilt switch button about 15 degrees. No problem unless you appreciate a solid feeling mod switch.

Did I mention it is a beauty? The fine brushed finish looks quality unlike some other brushed clones which have a deep course "brushed" finish.

If I had a do over, I would want an Origin w/ tighter switch tolerances.

If my budget improved, I'd probably just start buying original mods because I'm a little switch OCD.

I have the M16 clone from Hcigar and it is awesome. It works really well. It is built like a tank. I take it to work with me everyday!

Three magnet Nemmy switch mod is very smooth and no worries on firing when standing up. I also added a pair of mags to my hammer and thats made life easier too, they ain't cheap though them magnets

I love the chemesis magnet switch upgrade.
I have a large hole punch set and punched a few thin magnet sized washers from milk jug plastic, etc.
Can also scissor/razor cut spacers from masking tape, paper, etc.
2 DX nemesis magnets are weak but I stack the thin spacers under magnet until switch effort is perfect.
I tune 18650 nemy switch firm and 18350 nemy weak so they won't auto fire on desk but are easy press buttons.
I have 3 nemmy clones and all three have different levels of switch crunch.
I may buy genuine nemesis switch when they are back in stock.

Now to find magnets for my other mods.

I thought the M16 Clone was Brass? I know the newer one is SS but the alum. one is the sentinel Clone, Right? I own the Brass origin clone and it is pretty nice but hard set to find any atty's that are flush on it. SO far my SS Nemesis is my go to for my Kayfun and Helios as it is flush with those. Hope this helps...My Brass m16 and origin are awesome mods!

The origin is a nice mod I own one, can't speak to the other two. You ordering from 101vape? just asking because I know they carry all three of those mods at reasonable prices. The origin isn't the most newb friendly mod. The locking ring is a PIA because it is the same diameter of the rest of the mod. The top cap pin isn't adjustable eather making it hard to control battery rattle. The one I have only gets used as a hybrid with the aqua atomizer. If this is your first mech you might want to consider getting two just because they are cheap (being clones).

I picked up the brass Origin clone from FT - this version came with a very nice magnetic firing button and adjustable top pin for $19. I got the M16 brass clone at the same time and I like it too.

All three of these mods (including the Launcher V2, which I really like the looks of) are also being made by Rainbow Heaven. A lot of vapers rate RH right up there with Hcigar & EHPro.

Does anybody know of any U.S. vendors who carry Rainbow Heaven products? (Besides the Hybrid Elite, which I've seen all over the place.)

I love my m16 brass, it hits hard and if someone tried to attack me I could beat teh hell out of them with it lol. Only thing I hate is the button unscrews while you use it. I tried to lock tight it but messed up the spring in the process and now my button sticks im going to buy another mech soon, if the button was fixed I would grab another m16.
