*New mod time*

[Joka]

My first mod after my ego was the MVP V2. It's time to move on, and I'd like to purchase from my local store so I don't have to wait on shipping. I've got a list of what I've narrowed it down to, and I would like pro's and con's or opinions on the device's to help narrow my decision. I'm getting interested in mech's aswell, I've not owned one yet, the size looks great for dripping. Here are my candidates.

-Vamo v3
-king mech mod (clone)
-nemesis (clone)
-Maraxus (clone)
-SVD

No Segelei Zmax3 or 5 on the list? I guess you prefer the buttons on the Vamo3 to a menu system or don't like telecoping?
It's VV, VW, takes 3 kinds of batteries, Stainless Steel, 510 and Ego connector, 3-6V or 3-15watts etc.

Personally I prefer a mechanical mod. Nothing is more durable over time and you can go down into lower ohms, not that you need to but you can. Good batteries are a must, IMR is my suggestion. A topper that is easy to rebuild is also a huge bonus. Something with holes in the posts and either screws or better yet screws that you can turn by hand. If you want the absolute best tasting vape ever you can't beat a mechanical mod with a dripping topper.

I have been vaping a long time, since before there was even 510 connectors. I have been through all the different ones and come around full circle back to simple mechanical mods.

I have my Igo-L and I think its perfect, I really like the SVD but the nemesis or Maraxus are my top picks, but I don't know about performance on either. I've also heard good and bad about vamo's.

I'd say go for the Nemesis (clone, if cost is a deal breaker and you're ethically comfortable with that). A Nemmy plus a kick V2 gives you access to pretty much everything the regulated mods on your list have and it's just plain slick to use.

That said, I'd go for a SVD after that... or both. Yeah, definitely both

 

[Joka]

I do want both, and if I get the nemmy ill go back for a vamo or SVD. What is a kick?

I have a Vamo3 and an SVD. The SVD gets my vote.

A "Kick" is a small, round device that sits on top of the battery of a mech and regulates power. The original Kick can go to 12 watts, and so do the Chinese knock-offs.

The Kick 2 goes to 15 watts.

In my opinion (and I have a Kick 2 and two 12 watt knock-offs) unless you rebuild your coils or use rebuildable atomizers, you're not really going to need the extra wattage of the Kick 2.

And the link to the original Kick: (It's about halfway down the page).

All I use are re buildables, so I need to pick one of these up as well it seems.

The Maraxus caught my eye too, is it worth a try? It's got a neat air flow system

I now prefer mech than regulated mod, and just got nemmy clone and magnet to change last week. Love it, slick looking, super short throw.

 

[Joka]

I'm getting impatient haha, I'm gonna pick up the nemesis after work tomorrow. Would an iclear 30b work fine on a mech?

 

[Sickkboy]

Why not? only if you don't use kick in it then it's depend on your battery voltage from 4.2 down to 3.7v so the vape quality decrease as you vape.

 

[Joka]

That's what I didn't like about the old starter ego's, they get weaker as the battery dies. So I can't have a kick in it with a tank? Only use the kick with rba's?

 

[WattWick]

The kick goes on the inside of the mod, so it doesn't matter what atty you attach to it. Keep in mind that with a Kick you are essentially sacrificing space that could otherwise be used by bigger battery capacity. Where you can fit an 18490 battery with a Kick, you could fit a much larger capacity 18650 battery. Give or take a couple of millimeters.

I would start out without a Kick and see how it works out. Mech mods do loose their punch at some point, but for me it's more like "time to change battery" than "man this vape has sucked for the last few hours". Up until that point, I get a very good vape all the way.

I ended up getting the SVD I just got home, so I'm waiting on the battery to charge. I can't wait! I will be picking up the nemesis next month, I don't have an ohm checker that is the only thing that stopped me, and I didn't have another $25 to drop today. I will definitely grab a kick to test when I pick it up.
