Yes a straight mech will hit weaker and weaker as the battery drains. How impressive a regulated mod is depends on the specs. If you get a dna 30 and get a regulated 30 watts through the full charge of the battery, it is quite impressive. I hear there are supposed to be some Chinese dna 30s coming out for around 80-100 bucks. You could also check into the SXxxx mods. I read the SX350 boards are out giving 30-35 watts regulated.
So it's settled (I think) - a Zmax V5 for when I don't want to think about things, a mech for when I'm wanting to play (or look cool, lol), and a kick for when I want to look cool and not think too much about things, lol! 
And then I can always get an MVP2 if I get tired of charging batteries.

Are you sure it was an SVD my button is fairly flush like to the housing. and the actual button itself is surrounded by stainless steel only way I see to break it is to jam something into it.
My only problem with the MVP is once the battery is dead the unit is useless. IMO
^ That's what I thought. Thank you! Looks like it's a good idea to have both an APV and a Mech (or at least a Mech with a Kick) for different situations. APV for out-and-about, Mech for at-home…
Depends on the situations and your taste. For me I feel like a zna can look cool and handle anything I want to do, but a copper stingray clone may still be in my future

Well, if you have a ZNA, sure...
lolWould love to get one of the DNA 20/30 rigs, but right now it's out o' my budget (especially if I want to also get a mechanical, which I do!
)
Wait for a couple of weeks or so and save a bit more money to see what the reviews are like on the Chinese 30 watt PVs that should be arriving then. Generally, the reviewers have looked quite favorably on the 20 watt chips. The preorders have been selling for as little as $70.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this... A mechanical mod is recommended for rebuilding. When you are setting up coils they can be unstable and you may short your regulated mod. Build the coil and check with a multimeter on a mechanical mod first.
Also check the cut off for your regulated mod. They won't fire below a certain ohm limit.
Check the amps for your battery and what its capable of handling.
This post has good info on what devices to use and why
And this thread has a lot of good info if you are thinking of sub ohms: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion-safety-battery-info-warnings.html
Personally, I have both mech and regulated. Mech for building and testing (with multimeter), regulated for vaping.

You could preorder a Zana Modz dna 30 for 80 bux. Of course there are no reviews that I can find yet, so, there's that.

Yeah, that would be awesome, but it would also = 1 Zmax V5 and 1 Stingray clone, lol! Such hard decisions!
I've had a vamo v5 for about six months and it hasn't failed on me yet. I usually aim for about 1.4-1.6 ohms with my Russian, so that makes up my adv setup. For a mech, I've got a k100 that I enjoy. I don't see the mech as an upgrade either, as I'll use both daily. I like to go slightly sub-ohm when dripping (about 0.75 or so), so I run that guy at home where I've got plenty of batteries to swap out, plus all my tools, volt meter, etc. I really prefer the power boost, battery monitoring, and protection of my apv when out of the house. If I use my vamo in 18350 mode the size is nice to carry around and just one spare battery will keep me going all day
