If you want to use a clearomizer with a mechanical mod, I would suggest a vw kick. I have a kick 2 in my k101, set at 7 watts. I have an Iclear 30s on it and it works sufficiently for me. With the k101, it is a pain to get the kick out, so I found the setting I like, and leave it in. I use 18350s and one battery gets me through the day. I like the convenience of clearomizers because I am usually on the go, but I love the simplicity and reliability of a mech mod.
