I am looking to build a tube mod. I want this to be purely mech. No solder no separate switch and have a 510 connection. Also want to run this off an 18650 and be on a tight budget. So opinions, useful tips, or have built one like it post post post !

Budget; double whatever you though you might spend.
Time; triple the amount of time you think this endeavour will take.
Unless you have access to a free parts source, you are better served ONLY spending $30 on an "inspired-by" version.
Good luck

Lol! I know right.
Budget is not the biggest part of it as much as is the quality of the build ill spend what I have to. But if people have a better cheaper way I'm all in haha.
I saw a guy on here just recently that made a mod out if plumbing parts! Looked pretty cool. Good option if you can't machine your own parts.
I'm agree it's hard to build a quality tube mech mod, especially with out a lathe.
I have a little lathe and I still find it cheaper and easier to start with a quality clone and customize it to suit. fasttech has a good selection and prices, there is just a wait to ship from China.

The cheapest ones I've made were from u-cans. Almost no real work involved if you find the right little parts. The most expensive has about ten dollars in materials in it, but I spent about $300 on tools since I decided I really needed indexable carbide threading tools to get the quality of threads I wanted.
I have a hobby lathe at home and use that for all my modding, but it is frustrating compared to the ease at which I can make parts at work. Nothing like cnc to make a guy lazy.

Unfortunately I do not have a lathe. I do however work at a car manufacturing plant lol I have access to lots of tools, piping, wiring etc. The plan was to build a full mech but I was just given the inter workings of a map v.2 from a buddy he dropped it and broke the switch so I took everything out of it and am thinking of makin my own vv/vw device. Any suggestions ?
