I have three ecigs, a vamo, a totally wicked tornado rcs, and a bolt. I want to round out my arsenal with a mech but don't know which one to get! Post your thoughts and opinions and help me out.

Thank you, and as I understand it the bolt is indeed a very basic mod but not in fact a true mech mod because it has soldered connections, and wires. It performs very well since I upped the wire gauge and got the extender for an 18650. I was thinking true mech like a gg or something. I will definitely check out the suggestions from tiknu.

Good luck with that!Get ready to read these words:
OUT OF STOCK
Plenty of different choices for mech mods... quite a few are pricey and have very limited stock available.
How much were you planning to spend?

I just like the simplicity, and enginuity of them. As for how much I want to spend, I'm a tightwad. So I'd a decent one for $50 or less.
K100s are a good mech to start. Cheap, telescoping, built like a tank, good switch. $50 won't really get you into the higher end stuff. You should go watch some video reviews of different mechs to see which one might be for you. If you don't mind fiddling with em, you can get highly decent performance out of some dirt cheap mechs. A couple you should check out are: K100, KTS, Sigelei #8 #13 #19 #20, Smok Natural and Magneto just to name a few. All of these are under $50. You could probably pick up 2 of these for under $50 if you shop around. Hope this is helpful.
Thanks for the info, what's the deal with the magnetic switch? Benefits ect. Also I just started building atomizers and I heard mechs were great for that.
For $50 I have to second the magneto:
You can get a deal at VapingCraze for $39.99:
Smoktech Magneto 1939
With or without Logo (without). Maybe the best mechanical to come out of China. Good luck!

What is the benefit of a mech?

variable voltage or wattage and regulated devices have amp limits. Mechanicals have no wiring or circuitry letting you use as much amperage as your battery allows. They also are sexy
Hi and welcome to ECF!
You know that your bolt is a mech right?
No, it's not, it has an eletrical switch
Durability
No amp limit
Simplicity
Longer battery life
To name the more obvious benefits

I have three mechs, mkb-ts ($80, used to be $100)
A Smok Natural (around $50)
A k100 ($18)
All are nice, i enjoy using the mkb-ts the most because of looks mostly
But the best performing, once you tinker with it, is the Natural
I actually converted it to a hybrid and can get under load (sub ohm coil) and a fresh battery, 3.85 to 3.9 volts
Not bad at all, and it may get even better once i get ahold of ancouple Sony 30 amp batteries

I agree with all but longer battery life.
On a provari i get a full day off a 18650 battery
On a mech it depends of the resistance of coil, if you go low ohms (1 to 1.2) or super low ohms (.5 to .9) the battery will discharge a lot more per press
I change. A 18650 batt after half a day of use on a mech with SLR coils
By the time batt goes from 4.15 to 3.7 / 3.6 volts performance REALLY decreases and become quiete weak
For $50 you could easily get a decent mech clone from China.But if you're looking for the genuine article, I think you might be fairly limited on choice.
I've got the KTS+ clone, which to be honest works superb, don't know how long it will last though. You might be able to pick up a used mech on the classies.
