Panzer clone, ehpro, infinite, or shenxi?

[codyb88]

I can't decide between the blackhawk and the silver panzer. I like the look of the blackhawk but heard it has awful voltage drop. I also can't decide which clone manufacturer I want to purchase from out if the 3 above mentioned. I have heard the shenxi blackhawk one doesn't use electroplating and the paint doesn't really bother voltage drop or remove easily but I figured I would ask here.

Can anyone give me your personal experiences with the said mod from said manufacturers? Thank you!

I hear the one from MCV is a decent mod

I'm not spending $200 on a flashlight mod that's an old model mechanical mod hence why I asked about the clones.

Any helpful input is welcome however.

Shenxi is the superior Panzer manufacturer.

not sure where a mate has got his backhawk panzer clone from, but it's shocking hardly any power too the atomiser at all, on my own panzer the atomiser is excellent.

$27.15 Panzer Style Mechanical Mod - 18650/18500/18350 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I got this one and it works well for me. Parts for the authentic work in it as well.

Ah, but the question is, would you spend $200 on any mod?

Yes, I was close to buying a vrex vanilla for $210 but wanted something else. I think most mods are overpriced though. IMO.

I was just about to post a new topic on the same question regarding a Panzer. Ive been vaping for almost 2 years now and have been exclusively using VV devices but its time to expand into mechs and I really like looks of the Panzer. Not trying to highjack the post but since we are on the topic can anyone recommend this to be a good first mech? I too would also like to know where to get a quality clone from. Fasttech, Hcigar, Ehpro, Infinite, Shenxi etc. I've never ordered from any one of these places so who has the better reputation for quality clones. As far as the regular or the blackhawk id also like to hear thoughts on the two.

This is the only US vendor that sells Shenxi Panzers Panzer Mod SS CARPEDIEM by Shenxi. A bit pricey but I feel the quality is much better than any of the other variants I've run across like the Fasttech variants. EHPro makes a decent one too.

EDIT: also remembered http://www.vapersmark.net/Panzer-Mod-by-Shenxi_p_21.html does as well

I have both the blackhawk clone and the stainless clone. The stainless does seem to have better conductivity than the blackhawk. As far as my opinion on authentic vs clone, I can't help but wonder when stainless steel, copper, and brass became precious metals. Also, no one will ever be able to convince me that there should be some type of premium charged for someone machining a tube. with 2
special endcaps. With a lathe and a cheap cnc machine, you could crank out mods 24/7. While neither of those machines are easily accessible by most people, any machine shop worth a rip usually has one or both.

I have the Shenxi blackhawk version and it works great. I haven't actually measured voltage drop but with my trident clone with a 1 ohm coil it hits hard enough for me.

Just an FYI, bought this today. Authentic stainless vanilla mod. Not $200 but it is pricey.

 

[isowizard]

for us suppliers and prices i think the ehpro blackhawk is better then the original authentic, but the authentic has made some fixes like removed paint from threading was huge.

ehpro i love it for the price i can not compare to Shenxi as i have not held one in my hand

This is not going to degenerate into another bash the clone thread. Keep it on topic.

i would say the ehpro, i just got my black hawk today and its vaping great. Im using a stillare at .22omhs.
