love the look of copper.
All a mech mod is, is a battery holder. Functionally there is zero difference between one or another. In other words given the same topper you will never be able to tell a difference between which mech you use. The choice should be based on looks, button location, etc.
Caravella is okay but mine has a gap at the top,(or bottom) with 18650 battery. The switch is a bit fickle too. I like my King clones better though.
A mech mod doesn't really have any electrical parts. They are pretty much just a metal tube. Stainless steel can last foreva. The important parts are the batteries and toppers used with it.
You should stop talking about things you know nothing about...

If you want life span (something that will basically last a lifetime), I suggest sticking with a stainless steel mod. Brass is pretty and cool and a bit more interesting than stainless steel, but it's also much softer, so those 510 threads will wear out long before stainless 510 threads.
On the flip side, you'll find that once you purchase your first mech and use it for a while, you start itching for another one. ;-)
Well, mech mods differ from a design of the firing switch but really all they are is a battery tube with 510 T&D threads for your atty. Oh and some are real pretty and cost way too much $$$ lol
There is more or less voltage drop depending YMMV

I have the m16 in brass and a Launcher clone. I was going for the Caravela at one time (love sailing and it's pretty) but decided against it. See Caravela Clone Review from Fasttech-Dat Ship Doe-VapingwithTwisted420 - YouTube
Twisted loves the mod, but notes that the one he has
1. didn't have all the 510 pins that the real Caravela comes with, which meant that some attys didn't sit flush. idk if the one you're bidding on has these, or has an adjustable 510 connection. m16 has a floating connection, so everything sits flush.
2. There's no delrin insulator on the Vela firing button, so the battery ends up sitting on naked metal. That rules out some batteries. Twisted is using a green Panasonic. Your clone might have a delrin; idk.
I'm sure both mods are great, btw. I was just going for a first mod, and wanted things as simple as possible.

I have a lot of mechanical mods, and my brass Caravela is by far my favorite.
Who made the "clone" you are lookin at is probably the most important factor.
The simple work around for only having one pin is to use toppers with adjustable center posts.

Not all mods or clone mods are created equal. Some have thin tube walls, bad threads, weak springs, buttons that hang up, etc...
I recommend one from either EHPro or Hcigar. They both make really good clones.

Here are a few of mine:
King Brass Chromed - SS Caravela - Natural - King Brass.

Nice hit and run, with no real debate or discussion added. There is NOTHING that makes one mech better for dripping vs any other purpose. You do not need a certain mech to drip and a different one for a different purpose. Functionally they are all the same.
??
One of the key things a user looks for in a mech mod is solid mechanical contacts; for example you could have 2 thin wiredconnecting the on/off button; a short on your mod might fry those wires, and it's something the user does not want; you want actual solid metal sometimes, and not thin wires or soldered joints.
Another thing people look for is solid contruction; a mech is just a battery tube; You can get a cheap mech made of plastic I suppose, but I've never seen any.
Actually, making a mech out of mostly plastic rubberized material for most of the body might turn out to have some advantages now that I think about it.... I could see that happening... metal at the top; metal at the bottom, but the tube part could be made of thick stiff impact resistant rubber/plastic material.
