I think you are definitely after a mechanical mod with higher voltage options. The Precise line is one, and as mentioned, the GG line is another.

Sorrid, for reference, the GG line is indeed a very simple all-mechanical mod.

I haven't used a P18, but I have seen, and taken a couple hits on, an older SuperT mod that I don't believe is in production anymore. It definitely feels like quality. The P18 really isn't that big, as mods go. But if it seems big to you, the P16 is also an option. With a Low Resistance atomizer, you can achieve higher power.

The GG's you may want to look at are the GGTS, and the GGTB. The GGTS can take pretty much any battery due to the telescopic sleeve, has a 4-in-1 connector (which I think may be an extra, not sure if it comes with the kit - anyone know?), and you can also buy an AVS juice feeder.

The GGTB is a simpler, and smaller mod. It has a "telescopic" battery dummy that can be adjusted for different batteries, giving it some flexibility without changing the size of the mod itself. It comes with a 901 connector.

Both companies have great reputations, and it's hard to find anyone in either of their subforums who is having an issue with their mod breaking down.

I have also been looking for a mechanical mod. I wound up landing on the GGTB with a 510 adapter because, for me, price is an issue. And also, it just seems more flexible than the SuperT line, while not being as big or over the top as the GGTS. I don't need or want a ton of extra features, and a $75 price point on an all-mechanical mod with a good reputation sold me. I also like that the button locks.

For reference, the GGTB can operate at 3.7v, 6v, and 7.4v. For the latter two, you would almost certainly want a High Resistance atomizer.

Atomizers take a little getting used to, but you will likely get more vapor. I did also discover that, with a regular atty, I get less throat hit (that's just me - not everyone agrees with me on that, but it doesn't seem like you mind throat hit much).

So I use an LR atty for my throat hit, and I'm good. If only VaporKings would come back in stock!

I moved to a Buzz after my Riva and I am very happy with it. It is very durable and I have the option to change voltage according to the flavor and juice that I am vaping at the time. It is very durable and I could not imagine ever needing another mod. I purchased a blemished for about $80 when they were available and am very happy with my decision. Good luck with whatever you decide. :)

I have no direct experience with the Precise line, but they appear to be the cream of the crop. My only issue would be the bottom button. I have had other mods with bottom buttons. Those look like they would be easy to accidentally activate. Bottom buttons can also be pretty uncomfortable if they start to become stiff. I currently have an Omega from AltSmoke, another top quality all mechanical device. You might want to take a look at their products also. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Just received my P-10 and waiting on my P-18. The P-10 is more than I could have hoped. I can manipulate the bottom button with my pinkie finger so it's quite comfortable to hold and vape. I put some of the recommended Noalox on it and it slides like a dream. It's really terrific. I use it with the Ikenvape drip cartos. The big plus for me is that all I'll ever have to do is replace the batteries.

I've been using my P16 for a few days now and I'm loving it! Its a solid and smooth little PV! It's much smaller than you would think and it fits in my hand perfectly. Regarding the button...you can sit this on its end without it firing. The button has to be pushed in just a tad bit more for it to fire. It takes a little while to figure out how to place your fingers for actual vaping but once you have it down there isnt a problem. I also have an Omega and I have to say that the "draw" on the P16 is much smoother. I'm thinking its because of the recessed threading changing the airflow when you vape on it. As far as putting in your pocket...I wouldnt know. I keep mine in the velvet case when I'm not using it. I really dont want to mess this thing up because it is GORGEOUS!

Until David comes out with something for carrying it around, I have taken an e-liquid bottle and cut if off 3/4 of the way down from the top. I then slip it over the bottom of my precise if I am going to put it in my purse.
If you use a softsided bottle, this works perfectly. Find a bottle that has a circumference that is the same as your precise.

Awesome idea! Thanks!

I'd go with the Prodigy v3 or the Precious Variable Volt device. It sounds like you want to adjust it to your smoking needs. I have the v3 and have had nothing but excellent tasting plumes of vapor! I get all my accessories from ikenvape.com. Isaac is wonderful and his product is top notch. The Precious I'm waiting on but I've heard nothing but 5 star reviews. Trust me I was in your exact same situation 8 months ago. Good luck and hang in there.
