On the market for a good cheap mech

[espkh123]

I want to get a mechanical mod so I can rock sub ohms and get those huge perfect vape clouds.
One thing that I don't have the option to do is spend a lot of money!!

I've been looking at some hcigar clones like the nemesis but I haven't decided.

If I decide to go down this path what do I need to get?

So far I noticed these:
-Mechanical Mod
-rba
-OHMs meter
-drip gaurd

...............

If you all have good recommendations for a mechanical mod I would like to hear it if it doesn't break the bank.
Also, if I need anything else let me know too!

A kick v2, and the ability to wrap micro coils

I saw some people compare the vape royalty ones to the fast tech...
I think I am gonna go through them for a nemesis mod.

.......

Do i NEED to get a ohms meter?
Or can i go off theory?

My first mechanical mod was a stainless steel King clone from fast tech.
Still one of the best mods I have used.

King clone$26
Kick (FT) 8$
Trident clone $16
Blowing huge clouds like a fog machine for under fiddy bucks... Priceless.



The Caravela clone in brass is a hard hitter as well, but has less adjustment in the pin and requires flat top batteries for a clean fit
Still a great deal and a great starter mod


He Hammer clone by Tobeco needs some tweaks to be a performer. And may not be a good fist mech for some.

K100/K101 are great starter mechs for their price and are readily available. Getting into RBAs the IGO line is a priced very well and are very easy to build on. I would recommend the IGO-W or W4, as it is a great RBA to learn how to build on, and with the 3 posts it gives you the option step up a notch and make dual coil builds after you get accustomed to building a standard single coil.

Going back to mechs...if you want to spend a little more money, the Nemesis or any other clone by HCigar are great. I picked up mine from vaperoyalty.com for about 50 bucks and had it in 2 days with absolutely no issues. It all comes down to how much you are willing to spend.

ALWAYS invest in good batteries, EFest or AW are reliable and you can usually find them at your local B&M if you have one, if not then they can found all over online. Also Sony US18650VTC3 30A 1600mah high drain batteries are great for sub ohm vaping.

OHM meter is very important to have to, they run anywhere from $20-$30 but are a necessity when building your own coils.

The most important thing is to really do your research on sub ohm vaping and know the saftey measures that go with it. The last thing you want to do is have your mech blow up in your face.

Hope that helps man, good luck!

Just placed my order for the lavafire rocket, 12 bucks with free shipping with the coupon 'NEWYEAR'. You literally can't beat the price. The site reviews seem to be decent. Couldn't find a youtube video that was clear enough but hopefully it's not 12 bucks lost.

Nice list - I would add the Brass M16 Sentinel clone from Fasttech to the list - $16 with a 4.8 out of 5 rating - I like mine.

 

[burtonsnowww]

i just received a caravela clone mech from ebay with all 3 tubes for 30 dollars and the VHO helios atomizer, its a great pair.

 

[Chablo]

I've been using the brass sentinel m16 for three months and I'm pleased with the $16. Just ordered a JM mech from FT and that was $15 those would be my gotos or a k100

Id actually give it a 5 out of 5.
I used one for a bit recently, and it's a phenomenal mod for the price.
I'm ordering one myself after the CNY is over.
Smooth button, lock works great, smooth threads, solid brass....under 20$.
What's not to like ?

I've ordered from them and don't have any argument with them at all, but Bucky's Bargain Vaping usually carries the same mechs for a little cheaper and free shipping. Just sayin'.

Yes to question 1, and H$#% NO to question 2.

If you are rebuilding a coil, you absolutely, positively HAVE to have some reliable way to test the resistance of your final build. I cannot stress this enough. Either spend the $20 on a purpose-built atomizer ohm meter, or go to Radio Shack and spend $12 on a cheapo multimeter. Please. All it takes is one "whoops" to ruin your day.

K tech is right on the money.
Buy a dedicated ohm meter
Or at least grab the free one with coupon at Harbor Freight.

On second thought, just buy a purpose built ohm meter for attys.
Best $20 you'll spend on this hobby.
