Just wondering what are some of the worst mech mod designs you've come across in terms of mechanics, materials, performance, etc?
Poorly-designed mech mods?

Well if we are going by looks, then I vote for the flip as it is the gaudiest thing I have ever seen.
Function wise there are tons of bad ones.

The Svarog hybrid button. All else is fine. That is... the tube. The button is ... utter... <censored>. Your average spring'n pin button. It just... doesn't... work... right. Thankfully it's 20x1 threaded

I completely agree Bad Ninja. My Origen is polished and put away. To much fiddling with the firing button to get it to work consistently. My Chi You is also polished and put up because the button is crunchy and it takes too much fiddling with it as well. I'm not sure what clone the Chi is.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
While I agree it's styling is "love it, or hate it", the concept and function is unique, and works very well.
FWIW, I held a "1:1 clone" this past weekend.....piece of trash compared to the original.
I initially thought that the V3 Flip looked pretty cool. I made an impulse buy on an authentic. Got it. Used it for a bit and now I hate it! Feels horrible in hand. Rough as all get out. Damn near seems like it is going to cut my hand at times.
The looks have worn off for me. It looks gaudy as hell to me now. I only used it for about a week and it has been sitting in its pouch in my vape box since.
It's going on the classies when I get time and figure out how I am supposed to post there within the rules.

Someone had to go there.
That said, the switch in the Valkyrie hybrid is junk too.
You can modify it to make it work fine but V Ant knew it was a problem when by released the mod and did it anyway.
Then offered a fix a few months later.
Horrible design.
Shoddy business practice.
I shouldn't have to pay a premium to do the modders job for him.
( I will add that I love my Valkyrie now that I fixed the switch.
R&D budget seem to be spent on beer and pizza.
Lol.

I am in the same boat. I bought an authentic V3 Flip Gold edition when the first came out.....my tastes have changed a LOT since I got it. I now prefer a sleeker, more simple looking mod like the GP Paps. I also hate that you cannot access/disassemble/clean the switch.
Did you get yours engraved? Because I did (with my initials JPC).....that basically renders mine unsellable to most people....

Pretty much the same here as far as my tastes in mods changing.
Nope, didn't get mine engraved and just now put it up in the classies.
Here's more what I like now. The Damascus Mod by Phillips Bush...

Now that's impressive.... And not likely to be cloned for $20.Pretty much the same here as far as my tastes in mods changing.

You got that right. I saw it over in the Rebuildable Atomizer Systems forum. That one belongs to twisted420. Bee-you-tee-ful!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Bart has a Damascus releasing soon too, if not already.
The flip? I love the concept of it. Just flip the end cap to change battery sizes. Changing tubes is easy enough on modular mods, but it's never fun rummaging through the stash til you find it. The modular type, I usually keep in one size, the 500, anyway. The roller telescoping is my fave. Haven't yet tried the flip, but, hope to eventually if they ever come out with a minimal design. If not, I'll get a purple one lol.
Bart of Versa mods Bart. He has Damascus steel tubes now. Gorgeous material.
The (real) Roller is a nice spinner, unlike the clones that tried to copy it's concept but never quite mastered. Today, there are other spinning concepts on the market, I haven't yet tried, & can't comment, but they sound quick & easy due to where the breaks are. Ela, etc.
