February is rolling in and my vape budget is going to be back - this last month I took the plunge and got my first mech and rda's, and though there were a few hiccups I'm now extremely pleased with the vape I'm getting. Now I'm looking into a second setup, my first being a Stingray X and Magma. I'm going to get a few more rda's (notably a Marquis clone, and depending on what I spend on a mech, a Freakshow), but I'm looking for a mech that will fit the criteria I need. I COULD just get another stingray x, but I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion for something else as I like variety.
What I want in a mech:
1: Top cap design. I prefer these to all of the hybrids that are out now.
2: Adjustable or floating 510 pin.
3: Stock magnetic switch. I don't mind locking rings or recessed switch, either is fine.
4: I'd like stainless steel threading on the 510 connection for durability for my second mech, but this isn't a must, I can be careful as I am with the Stingray's copper threads.
5: Not a must, but a bonus would be modular (18350/18500/18650 like the Stingray X) or telescopic. Not a dealbreaker though, a straight 18650 tube is fine.
6: Clone. I'm not interested in spending more than 30$-40$, and would rather spend 20$ or less.
I haven't had to do anything to my Stingray X since I took it out of the box. It came clean, switch has smoothed out over time, all of my batteries work well with no rattle, threads are smooth, etc. I want another clone that will work great out of the box. A lot to ask, I know.
Any suggestions? I'm loving the look and features of the HC Windrose, but not sure about the 510 pins compared to a floating or adjustable.
