hi folks,

I have been vaping for a while now and i am loving it! Right now i am using a couple of ego batteries with evods and protanks. I have been looking to upgrade for a while now, i am waiting for my mvp to come, but i am also thinking about getting a mech mod. I wish i had the kind of cash flow to get a genuine one but it looks like ill be getting a clone. I have been looking alot on hcigar now and I am thinking about the Caravela, just wanted your opinion on them and what i should get for a RDA thats easy to build as i am still very much a noob!, that would compliment it well.

thanks guys!!

if you are on a budget igo w drippers are fairly user friendly to build on. Almost everyone has to drill out an air hole as they come supper tiny, but its a fairly cheap atty. I learned on a smok tech octopus. The atty its self is nothing special at all and after 4 months of use the screw threads on the post wore out but it was even cheaper than my igo-w. If you grab something dual coil just build one coil at first. Master the single coil before trying dual, just my un asked for 2 cents there. I find a kf clone to be easy to build on but they cost more. So theres a few ideas for ya.

Hcigar caravelas are usually nice.
a good RDA setup, IMO, is the trident V2 clone, it will not look flush with your caravela however (tridents are 21mm) but they're insanely easy to build on.
Also make sure you get yourself an ohm tester as well as appropriate batteries (either sony VTC4 or VTC5 or purple efest ones) so you can have your peace of mind when firing that thing as mech mods kind of "appeal" to sub ohm use to get the better of them (I will not expand here)

The alternative is to get a kick as they will transform your mech into a regulated device for use with more standard atomizers

My latest purchase is a Cronus clone off ebay and I absolutely LOVE it! It's not fussy and I don't have to adjust everything 100 times to get it just right. Adjust once and done and the lock is really easy for those of us challenged with the reverse threaded ring.

Ill go and take a look, what are you using for an atty?

Enigma rebuildable I got on ebay for $12, I also have a couple of genesis and I have to agree with everyone else, don't waste your money on a genesis. They taste terrible to me! I have a Kayfun on the way as well but I'm loving the dripper!

They taste great if set up right. As in, they don't taste anything at all except the flavor of your liquids.
