Nemesis clone or Stingray clone @ ~$30
Nitecore i4 or similar @ ~$20
Sony VTC 4/5 18650 @ ~$12 (x2)

That would be a good start and leave you a decent amount to put into an atty you like. Shipping may cost you a bit more since you're in Canada depending on who you're getting stuff from/how quick you need it.

Sheesh, don't people make any effort at all to see if there's an existing thread that might answer their questions before posting?

Here's a thread that asks for a recommendation for a mod + atomizer combo for about $100. Amazingly like your question.

Best mod around $100 that doesn't require building coils?

Just ignore that comment, the internal search engine is nearly worthless and most people don't know that searching in google for information with an "ECF" tag at the end of the query is a much better option.

Your thread wasn't the first (obv) and there will be many more like it, and MOST of us will happily try to answer the questions no matter how many times asked.

We're here to help each other/answer questions, so feel free to ask away! :vapor:

Thanks for that :), i'm not in a huge hurry to get the mech(using MVP2 with Patriot RDA atm), so am good for now. Just want some advice to which direction I should look. Was looking into a Sigeili 20W which I know isn't a true mech(from what I've read). I'm heading to WA in a month so may check out pricing down there. The Sigeili at my local B&M shop is $120 + tax which i'm thinking may be a tad high.

Everything at B&M's is gonna be higher priced, but it appears those Sigelei 20w'rs are not cheap to begin with.

If you're not in a hurry looks like Fasttech has the base unit for around ~$84 shipped, but be prepared to wait a bit for it.

And yes, that Sigelei 20 is is a VW device (obv) and completely different from a mech.

I got into mechs 3 weeks ago and I have the Kecig 101 which is the Kamry it isreally good and easy mod, but I also just got me a nemesis clone, and I really like it, I would invest on the neme clone.

Try vaporoyalty (Vape Royalty Offers HCigar Mods, Custom Bling Vapes, Custom Bling Mods, 3D Bling Vapes, HCigar Nemesis Mods), they ship fast and they have very nice combinations of nemessis and other mechanicals, not as cheap as FT but still good price.

The battery i am using the efest 2500 mah 35A I think it is a good choice. Atty I have the igo-w3 RDA which I also like.

Geez, Did someone pee in your Grapenuts this morning? Cut a fellow vaper some slack.

We are all in this together!

And have yourself a lovely evening!.......:)

i have the kts+. its ok. nothing special. worth the $20 it cost on fasttech i guess. feels a little junky, kinda cheap, but it was so thats ok i guess. the hcigar nemesis clone is better option. so is the ehpro cronus. or the infinite stingray. the hcigar sentinel m16 is another good choice. it really depends on what you want your mod to look like. all of those can be had for less than $50 almost anywhere online. order it and have it shipped to where youll be staying in washington if you cant find a good deal from a ca vendor.

Not to correct you, just to add...

You can narrow down Google searches by site by typing i.e site:e-cigarette-forum.com (with no spaces) in the search field.

To OP: Asking for a mech recommendation will (at the moment) land you a bunch of votes for Stingray or Nemesis clones. They're the flavor of the month mod. To find more options, just scroll through a few pages in the APV section and you'll see what else is popular. Not dissing you for asking. Just saying you probably won't get a very good impression of what's truly out there.

forget all the advice on tube mods, high end atomizers, quad coil building, sub-ohming and all the rest

buy yourself a reo grand, with reomizer 2.0 in your favorite color...

watch super x's tutorial on how to microcoil a RM2 ...use 28 guage kenthal at 8 wraps or so to arrive at about 1.25 ohms.....and wick it with cotton

you're welcome

Thanks for that suggestion, I think if I buy anything else right now the wife is going to string me up by my manhood. I live by "happy wife, happy life".

i do understand but the next time you can buy something i'd get a REO, they really are that good and i own a ton of mods...theres a lot of hype here on ecf and trends and so on....80% of it is just hype though, the REO is dripping taste without the dripping hassle and quite amazing in its simplicity
