Suggest a good cheap mechanical?

[Commie]

Hi there folks!

I'm contemplating getting a cheap but decent mechanical mod. It'll be mainly for home use with AGA, and for making coils for my smaller atties, as well as dripping to test my DIY juices. I'd like it to be battery flexible (18350/18650), so telescopic or modular would be nice.

I've looked at smok Telescope, K100, and a few others. Most of them seem to have a very long switch, kind of defeating the purpose of putting a tiny 18350 battery in it.

So, what would you recommend? Cheap/short/relatively dependable?

Thank you!
Commie

I am not sure of how cheap you are looking to go but the Smok Natural is a telescopic tube MOD and only $52.99 at discountvapers.

MyVaporStore has a smoktech mechanical telescoping mod for 39.99. I think any mechanical mod you get will be highly durable - no wires or processor. good luck

I didnt get mine from this vendor, but I will 2nd this mod. I really like mine, feels well put together, and the price was pretty good.

What's cheap to a Commie?

50-60 bucks, hopefully less. I know that limits me to various clones, but it not being my main vape, I'm ok with that

I seem to have skipped that range. I have 20-30 dollar mech mods and 90+ mech mods.

I did get my legacy for 65 shipped from the classies though, that's something to look out for. Hell of a US made stainless mod.

Here's a budget telescope I know some people on here have, I see it listed elsewhere as the excalibur for 40 dollars, there's probably a thread about it somewhere you can dig up.

Tec Mod Telescope

Also, people love their Chi-Chi's and the Natural flat top looks pretty nice.

Yep, that was my first mechanical mod. I actually love it except for the extremely long lock threading. I also have a chi chi that I don't care for as much, though many do absolutely love them.

I wonder -- how close to a mech mod is this: http://www.carolinavapes.com/Flat-Controller-for-Joyetech-eGo-T-Upgrade-18650-Battery-MOD_p_254.html ?
Or rather, do you guys know what the amp limit is to it? Would it blow up unpleasantly at, say, .8 ohm resistance?

that's not a mech mod. mech is a tube with a push button and connector - no wires

It's not a mech mod though you have the option of going unregulated with it. I would guess it's non functional below 1.5ohms. Joye doesn't make anything good for high amps and I don't mean that as a knock. On the plus side, with a thread adapter, you can charge it in the tube.

It basically just makes a big ego-c battery.

Thank you! As purty as it is, the 1.5 ohm limitation makes it a no-no for me My Aga is usually around .8 and the coils for my A7 are about 1.3.

Hmm, looks like the Natural it is. K100 looks very pretty, but with a big fat AGA on top it would look silly I think. And would likely fall over a lot.

I got a GG clone from hoosiervapes for around $30. It is my shop mod. Not a single complaint about it from me

 

[rockb4]

Dunno how good, but it's cheap JoyeTech 18650 MOD

 

[fynn4703]

I use a Sigelei Telescope mod. Its was cheap to buy and work really well.

 

[2nd chance]

Check out the new K-100, it ranges around $40-$50, sharp PV and works VERY nice, comes with its own drip shield & tip

I'd wait a little while, save up a bit and get something nice. You won't regret it. You'll might be using it for a very long time. For 100$ you can get a Gus or similar, really small, really nice, happy days.

I would generally agree with you on this, but this will be mainly a battery holder for making coils and occasional vaping at home. My all day vape is a Reo, so if I were to save up and buy something nice, it would be another Reo

I'm really enjoying the kamry k100 I'm not sure what the diameter of the agt but the agr carto tank fit perfect on it.

I'll second the rec for the China GG from Hoosiervapes. Paid $30+5 for the extension so I could use a kick w/ a 18650. It works like a champ and I prefer it now over my vv/vw mod.
