Want a mech built like a tank for work. Has to take a kick + 18500, be robust, reliable and I don't care what it looks like. Oh and no alloys. Had a nemesis clone at work it lasted 4 days before it was trashed. Have ss vamo v5 for work now put the 510 threads are almost done and its so fff-ing big.

Ones Ive been looking at are Panzer clone, magneto, bolt. Like the bolt but can you lock the switch and can you kick it??

Price: under a 100 bucks.

Grateful for suggestions.

Magneto - some say you can kick it others not, Don't know why some have that problem while others don't. The Panzer looks like a very sturdy mech honestly, Looks like you could beat a zombie with it for years to come and still use it Lol. Panzer clone has Brass contacts? Are you looking for good function as well or just more of a sturdy heavy duty mod?

I have a feeling Im not gonna find everything I want, so heavy duty would be prio 1, its has to be kickable, Id blow myself up at work with a unprotected mod. Its like when I got out drinking I always throw a kick in my mod after I got a battery to vent on me while drunk.

I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to break one of these Hcigar Sentinel M-16's.

Mine feels like a pretty hefty chunk o metal and they're dirt cheap here in the states at around $25.

Only issue ive ever had was the button needed some loctite and a few minor aesthetic things (not an issue for you)

Scary Lol. I'd maybe look at the Panzer then. Not sure if it's kickable cause not too many people have one for the kick use, I feel like most people get the Panzer whether it be real or clone Just because It's a panzer more or less. The Magneto seems pretty strong, people who have em seem to like it. It comes with the magnetic button stock so you wont have to worry about the fire button. Check out the Raivapes Launcher, Don't know if it's kickable but I heard it has solid threads and allot of people like the function.

max batt length is 80mm so you can kick with 18500 :) kick2 17mm, 18500 50mm.

thanks

Apologies, after further playing with mine, i realized i mainly ran it in kicked 18350 mode.

You seem to run into issues with the telescope when in kicked 18500 mode, that may require "shimming" of the kick, which is not ideal.

I will say it has a nice size/hand profile in kicked 18530 mode.

Sorry again, mod is still WELL worth the money if you can find one cheap over in the UK.

Best of luck!

My Sentinel V3 clone from fasttech is the older, ribbed style. SOLID brass. It's (temporarily?) out of stock there now, as I believe it's been replaced by some later models. But I like the look and feel of this old thing a LOT. This is one (along with my brass Sigelei #19) that I'm not polishing at all. These (to me anyway) look way better once they start tarnishing.

I'd skip the telescopic mods if robustness was prio one. Mechanicals are mostly robust by nature. Telescopics slightly less so due to part of their rigidity hinging on threads. Give them a good lateral smack on one end and the threads may break. If price is another prior, I'd look into a Nemesis clone.

Had a hcigar neme at work, lasted a week. Neme threads are too fine too shallow. Agree on the telescopic, had a zmax v5 lasted like 2 weeks then it was trashed.

I have 8 tube mods (low to mid end), had a provari and now also have a Futura dna20,

Use them all everyday, and yet, none of them can take a beat as my two reo grands

But those are above $100

Bottom feed, aircraft grade aluminum body, camn take 18500 with kick

They are also the hardest hitting, But i modded mine for very low ohm vaping (.35 ohm to .5), now the are also the ones with least voltage drop

Have you considered the Origin?
Mine is a solid mech for sure.

I have an Origin, it has same inner diameter as kayfun but the orgins walls are thinner because its outer diameter is 21mm kayfuns is 22mm. You can screw a kayfun mid section on an origin.

Hope that mad sense, because it was hard to put into words.

It would hurt ME too much to torture a reo :(
