There's no shortage of good mechanicals out there.

I have a KTS+ Sigelei 8w and Nemesis. All good in their own way. The smok magneto is also quite nice, but you can't squeeze in an 18650 and a kick (if that interests you...which it does me....to a certain extent).

Now... the main consideration. I wouldn't personally buy a cheap clone off a cheap clone website. There's just no point i.m.o. you basically pay somebody £25 for the pleasure of getting it in 2-3 days. They've bought them from China (fasttech, focal, health cabin, whatever)... so you could do the same, unless you can't bear it. My latest Nemesis was £14... or you can buy it for £39 in the UK.

Anyway... the hcigar Nemesis is great... and my favourite of the 3.

focalecig were doing Nemesis for £12, but I don't know if it's a good one.

Thanks for the reply. Where did you buy your mods? I wasn't sure about buying from fast tech seen a lot of mixed reviews do u know rough delivery time?

I don't know what your selection looks like in Europe; I have a k100+ (k101) and it's really a nice performer. It's my first and only mech right now.

Telescoping body so it accomodates a variety of 18xxx batteries, but it's a bit skinny and anything wider than 19mm doesn't fit flush.

I like it a lot, though. Not in a hurry to replace/upgrade it.

They're from all over. Some private 2nd hand sales, some fasttech. All my VV/VW are UK bought, apart from Vamo V5, which was from fasttech. There are classified on AAEC UK and UKV.

I am looking at fasttech now I can wait if they are just the same as the uk websites but half the price I am looking at a sentinel m16 or nemesis. Where did you buy your battery's ? I don't mind paying more for them

I have "nasty" batteries from a few places.
My AWs are from Vape Escape.

IF you look on myepack, they have EFEST Red and Purple (high drain).... I might even get two purple ones myself. (although the red are good enough for me....)

They also have a couple of mechanical mods.

A word of advice, DO NOT get any mod which has aluminium threads as they shear too quickly as i found out with my sentinel. Take a look at my signature and all my mods are from fastech, and they all perform brilliantly.

Just keep away from aluminium threads, as after a short while it will be un-usable.

EDIT: yep the m16 is alluminium, don`t waste your cash.

That's where I got my svd from. I think I would go for the Sony vtc 4 from myepack what do u think about the chi you clone or the nemesis from myepack?

I don't know about them, they are too new for me. The advantage would be you could send it back if anything went wrong. Fasttech is less easy to secure a refund.

For cheap prices and fast delivery I'd recommend myepack.

But if you don't mind waiting a month I'd highly recommend purchasing through fasttech or vapor break.

As for mods I'd recommend Caravela, Nemesis and GP paps. Depends what look your going for, I like them because they sit flush with my attys. Panzer is a beast of a mod.
