Need help ... Mech mod advice

[SmokinRabbit]

Newbie, so school me as necessary...

I love some of the small 18350 mods I see around here and on YouTube. Stuff like the 4Nine and the Nemesis look awesome.

I have an 18650 and 18350 tube and eVic easy head already, plus a good (not cheapo) battery charger.... But it's a bit weak and def not as cool looking as some of the mech mods

So help me out... I want to be safe, but I'd love a cool, small, satisfying mech mod setup. Recommend something, share a photo, tell me exactly what to get...

I'm not adverse to spending a bit of money to get something good!

(Ps. I'm not rebuilding, so keep it simple for me at this point)

For example... What's this one...

...on the far right?

I have an authentic nemesis & a hcigar clone, love them both. Great thing about them are they work with almost all atomizers, supports 18350/490/500/650 batteries, also comes with the kick ring(incase you want to go regulated).

Since you don't plan to rebuild, I'll recommend a aspire nautilus to go ontop w/ bvc coils. Should be an awesome vape.

I've got a Nemesis clone which has served me well.. it's reliable and versatile, perfect as a first mechanical. But the switch has always annoyed me. I don't know if this applies to the authentic or not, but it's got way too much play (components don't fit together tight enough). It's better now that I've got 4 (FOUR!) magnets in place of the original switch, but it's still not perfect.

I've got a full Cartel mod set (Fasttech clone) on the way, which will be my second 18XXX mod. If the 25mm to 22mm taper doesn't phase you, it's really classy.

I really think you should read up on rebuilding. You'll fall in love and save money. Plus, you're not vaping from a chinese wick and coil.

+1 on the Nemesis. If you want a single tube then maybe a Vanilla. Also, the King mod clone is nice. Very short throw on that one.

How about clearo-glasso-mizers? I love some of the RBAs I see, but I'm not yet ready for that (but will read up)... In the meantime?

I will look at the Nautilus, but what else? Anything with an RBA-look would be cool...

Some good picks above already but consider one that gives you the option between 18350 and 18650 batteries (like the Nemesis, my fave). I find with an 18650 I take 1 spare batt and a bottle of juice with me and I'm out the door.

Running a Kayfun at 0.9 ohms most of the time and one 18650 tends to last me a whole workday and then some. I just bring a spare because not being able to vape scares me. Can't pick up an 18650 just anywhere but finding cigs is easy.

I bought 18350's as well because I at first thought I would like a more compact setup but after using both I prefer the larger capacity. Plus if you are going lower resistance in the future you'll find they don't hit hard enough.

The Stingray is quite small and very easy to set up.

I have a Nemesis clone (HCigar) as well which has served me well over the last 4 months or so. Nice because it gives you the option to play around with different battery sizes to see what works best for you.

You'll probably get the most recommendations for the Nautilus when it comes to clearomizers, however I had been using a IbTanked cartotank with LR Cartos for a few months on my Nemesis before I picked up an RBA and loved both the performance and the reliability of them. I know things have come a ways since I last tried a clearomizer (was an original protank), but I've converted several coworkers that had been using Nautiluses to cartotanks fwiw.

Since you are not into building it's no surprise that it's too weak for you , the average Voltage you can get with Mech mod is about 3.7 Volts (at first the battery starts with over 4 but drops down later on) .
If you really don't want to build anything then I recommend you get only low resistance atomizers, something with 1.8ohm and below .

I'm actually using 1.5 and 1.8 dual coal cartos most of the time on my various batteries... But the cartomizers are a tad annoying at times. I get a good vape on my iStick and even some of my ego batteries.

Don't get a nemesis clone from fasttech. The buttons are terrible and get hot. The magnet mod helped, but I still don't like it.

Helluva statement there, granola. FT sells well over 30 different Nemesis mods from many different mfgs.

I agree.

I have a FT nemesis that is great. One of the most trouble free clones I have owned.

This one is truly a 1:1 clone.

I also own an authentic nemesis. This particular clone is real, Real close in quality to the authentic. Real close.

I recently got an authentic magneto from FT as my first mod and I liked it a lot , I use it with a 1.6OHM kayfun 3.,1 clone build

:d

 

[SmokinRabbit]

Narrowing down to devices that make me happy... Though I still like a tighter draw. Digging the nemesis (clone) above, and now iStick...

Still trying to find good, small clearomizer... But consider RDAs and RBAs now too

I have an HCigar Stingray. I put the Aerotank Mega on it sometimes and it matches up very nicely.
