Skeleton Key's are collector items... My top 3 mods I own are, Skeleton Key, Brass Cartel Mod, and Copper Cartel mod... all three hit about the same, voltage drop about the same... but all three are pretty hard to come by, and works of art in my opinion. As JarredDizzle said, high-end mechs with silver plated contacts are the way to go.
Don't go with any telescoping mods, or side firing button mods, they typically will have high voltage drop, and also crappy switches. That's why mostly all high end mechs are bottom firing these days. Telescoping is kinda out dated. It comes down to which one you like the most. I got a key because I love what that brand stands for.
I have bought the Stillare V3 (LOVE THIS ATTY!), Stillare V2, Copper Cartel Mod, Brass Cartel Mod, becuase I love the cartel brand. I've met the team at ECC-2014 and they are all hardcore vapers/cloud chasing sub-ohmers, I like to buy from brands that pretty much buy the same products as myself and care about quality. I have no issue dropping $300.00 on a mod, it's my hobby
Anything that keeps you from going back to cigarettes in my opinion is a WIN! even if it's a bargain vaping setup i.e. K100 w/ an IGO-W atty...hell thats what I started out with, and now literally thousands of dollars later, I'm smoke free!! That's all that matters, buy what you like, go for good conductivity, and looks.
These days (to me) mod shopping is about silver plated contacts, it's a must. I won't buy any mods that aren't silver-plated... it's a minor upgrade the mod company can do to make their mods even that much better, and really a no brainer in my opinion. I like the single 18650/26650 mods, the compact mods I don't care for. I love VTC5's so I buy my mods that are really just made for 18650 batteries... because all I run is sub-ohm micros and VTC5s. It's nice that my key and cartel mods came with the extra tubes to run the smaller batteries, but they just sit in a drawer in my desk never to be used.
