Well after a week with my Atimizoo Roller I find myself regretting the purchase. At 144 euros it's a straight loss. It fires weak, the metal is too thin, it's too light, and it caves in the tops of flat-top batteries. The top pin is a functional failure, and poorly designed. It's a very nice looking mech, for what that's worth, but it's not worth what I paid for it. Next to my Poldiacs it's an epic fail in all categories.

Interesting. I've long thought the Roller was one of the nicest looking I've seen. Of course, my budget doesn't run to authentics, so if I ever got one, it would definitely be a clone. I have to wonder if they're any better -- I've heard several times of clone makers actually improving on a design for a clone.

Yes Andria, it's a nice looking mech, I have to give them that, and it's why I wanted it in the first place, but once in your hand it's shortcomings become apparent. I expected more in the way of performance from a mod costing that much, and it's been a disappointment. My Poldiac, on the other hand, cost me much less, about half as much, and is the very best mech I've yet owned. It's why I ordered another Poldiac, and a raft of spare parts.

My budget doesn't run to authentics either, but I had to have the Greek mods I'd always wanted before they went away forever. I got one of the last 9 Rollers, and the very last Poldiac Uma Classic ever to be made.

No Roxy they are not making any more Poldiac Classics. the Sleek is another question, and I've written asking them if they will continue making that, but have yet to get an answer. I'll likely hear back from Miriam today.

Yes you should get another and parts too if you still can. I looked around for the Poldiac Classic from other vendors, and they have them for as much as $260, while MM Vapors has them for $78 to $86. I got my two Poldiacs for the sale price. Get them while you can.

MM Vapors still has the Poldiac Uma Classic 18350 and 18500 in stock. The sale prices make me sick when I compare them to what I paid about two years ago.

Oh, I didn't see those. I only use 18650's. I really wanted the Aname Classic in 18650, but they are out of end caps in brass for that so no more of them. I got the Sleek instead.
