The issue with the 4Nine is that it is a "hybrid top cap" mech mod. You need to make sure that the RDA/RTA/tank has a protruding 510 pin or you risk venting your battery. Hybrid Top Cap Mech Mods & Battery Failure. Not the best mech mod for a beginner.
I have been using mostly regulated mods over the past couple years. Most of my mechanicals I have set aside.
With a mechanical mod the only way to "fine tune" your vape is to build a new coil or change the Ω of your factory coil. With a high vv/vw regulated mod (and its buck/boost circuitry) you can "fine tune" with a push of a button. On a mechanical mod your voltage drops as you vape, with a regulated mod this does not happen. Your first hit is just as good as your last hit.
A high vv/vw mod is a lot more versatile than a mechanical mod (not to mention safer, less upkeep, etc). The beauty of a high vv/vw mod is that you don't have to build low sub-ohm coils to get a great vape. In fact, building low sub-ohm works against you. Higher ohm coils use more wire which means more surface area to vaporize juice. This increases both heat and vapor production.
With a mechanical mod you increase the warmth of your coil by building lower ohm coils. However, the electronics in a regulated mod boosts the power coming from the battery so the ohms of the coil no longer control the warmth.

I highly recommend you spend some time with @Baditude & @Mooch (two of our resident battery/safety experts) and visit their blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.
Here are links to some of Mooch's blogs:
- No matter what is printed on the battery wrapper: There are no 18650 batteries with a genuine rating over 30A!
- Links to all his battery tests to date: List of My Battery Tests | Mooch's Blog

BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY
Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

My friend, you are wasting your time in vain. This works.
Do you know all e-cigs work with a spring wire which has a wick (either cotton or silica) sucking the liquid and evaporating with the aid of battery connected.
The problem is not finding the right device but finding the right liquid. right amount of PG/VG right amount of nicotin and an aroma you like.whatever device you get you will be directed through and if you do not become a crazy collector cheaper than cigarettes.
go ahead buy the silliest and if you found right liquid you will have right device and liquid in no time. Just begin.
It is not like the old times there is a wide choice of everything and you are luckier than us old timers. Most of us began with a ego type battery ce4v3 cartomiser and (for me) dekang liquids.
Now I have a claupor mini and a taifun clone on top (Which I assume the end for me. Because it works well for my needs))
Go ahead and be cigarette free

the 4nine has no centerpin. dangerous in the hands of inexperience
The same for Templário
there are tons of mechanical mods to choose from

Tanks edyle.... but I'm looking for something with more quality... (probably I'm crazy
)250euros budget!

it makes sense to buy a few cheap clones, then when you find yourself using 1 in particular and liking the design, at that point you order direct from the original manufacturer, along with some spare parts.
