Hello everyone, I am looking to get a new mech mod or maybe 2.

a little history about my past set-ups. I started with an eGo C kit, tried cartos and tanks and didn't really like them at all, so I moved to clearo's (ce4 and t2s). After 3 months I bought a tried and true silver bullet with a kick and moved to vivi novas. After about a month with the bullet I bought an AGA t v1 and a DID clone. I went through the learning process with those, ditched the kick, building low ohm coils (around 1.0+\-) and totally loving them. Which brings me to today.

i would love some advice as I am looking to get a new mod. I am open to the bullet being a back up or buying a back up for the bullet.in a perfect world I would get an ihybrid but it seems like I would have a better chance finding gold in my backyard. The LE's go so fast and the standard is gone. Same goes for Orion's, Zen's, Jugernuaght, or any other hybrid I look for. So now I am shifting my focus to getting a high end mod to use my genesis atty's on, or I can get a couple of lower end mods and a high end genesis like a cobra or DID. I have been looking at and EA mod or a super t ELA mod. The ELA looks awesome but I am nervous about it falling over a lot with the switch it has. The EA looks nice but I am still unsure. For the lower end I am looking at an iSeason, natural, lavafire rocket or similar. I currently use only 18650 batteries but would like the option to got to a 18350 at times as well.

now I would love some opinions or advice on my options or suggest some other ones I may have overlooked.i really want something that available now or soon. I can spend up to around 400 hopefully less and I won't have extra cash to late summer to do this type of upgrade again. And as of right now I am not verified (I don't have a Paypal account but I may have my wife ad me to hers so eventually I can get access to the classified) but probably won't happen til next round. Thank you all in advance for your help.

I purchased an ELA and waiting for it to be built and delivered that was going to be my first suggestion.I also have the Legacy mod,which is going to be my next suggestion,and i have the Smok Natural on order(lower end mod)You can get just the Legacy mod by itself for $88.99 and grab the ELA too.All three of these mods would be under the 400 dollar mark.

Im going with the natural and the legacy bc the price is right and i cant decide... And figuring a DID on top (the real thing of course) to complete my mech setup.. If tax return is good, an EA is next with an odysseus or UFS if i can find one... But my 4 top mech pics, not forgetting the empire or its clone, is the EA, natural, and legacy!!

I had an EA mod and sold it to get the Precise ELA. Not quite out yet but totally worth the wait. There's supposed to be a lot of add-ons to come for this mod as well, hybrid atomizers/tanks, a DNA 20 top, this one's a show stopper! Not to mention lifetime maintinance/refinish warranty.

The legacy looks great but I would like better versatility. Still not sure what I am gonna do yet so keep your thoughts coming. Thanks.

You can get versatility out of the Legacy by simply purchasing the mini legacy tube($29.99) and you have your choice of,18350,18490/18500,18650

That's pretty cool, I really have to consider that. Is it true that a z atty pro fix on this?

Yes it will fit on top of the legacy,not sure how well the fit is i do not have a Z atty pro.Just do NOT flush mount the z atty(don't let it rest on top of the connection) or it will cause a hard short.

EDIT: After thinking about it,i forgot the z atty is a flush mountable device.The connection is resessed and covers the top of the mod it goes on.This would cause problems with a mech. mod like the legacy.

It looks nice and I thought I fired it without issue.

I've seen the Natural mentioned in the thread a couple times, and feel a need to say I think it's about my least favorite of the mechanicals I've ever used, second only to the SmokTech Telescope. SmokTech may be able to make stuff cheap, but that's about the only upside. It looks nice and it's solid enough, but the QC is not good, in my experience. Both SmokTech mechanicals I've used had horrible 510 threading and won't even allow me to screw on a good number of my RBAs. I've never had this problem on any other mod, but I've had it on both SmokTechs.

The Legacy and EA, on the other hand, are both pretty decent. I personally think the price on the EA is a bit high for what it is, but it's built well and it works.

The KTS (aka CCTS and Chi Chi) tends to come up in these discussions a lot... it's crap. It's cheaply made from cheap materials. Looks and vapes like the cheap mod it is.

I'm also one of the guys with a Precise ELA on order, and looking forward to it. I've also got a few GGs (GGTSs and a GGTB), and they're really fantastic PVs, but obviously pricy unless you can get in on a pre-order.

Just curious because i have had problems with flush mount devices on my legacy.I run a shortstop and a kick in mine too.

I can't give you a good explanation besides I just ran it with a 18350+vapesafe, 18350+kick and an 18500+vapesafe. My shortstop is in something else at the moment but I assume it would be the same.

I really wish you had not said that.I have a natural that will be here sometime this week?? The upside,i have an ELA i'm waiting on too.

Unless you paid gotvapes price, you'll be ok with it. Or get verified and unleash it on the masses. Sigelei's "Natural clone" looks pretty sexy though.
