Upgrading from my Magneto, what should I get?

[willsketchforfood]

I've been using my magneto since I started vaping and I'm planning to start saving up for a new mech mod next month but I don't really know what to get...

I'm considering a nemmy but I keep on reading about people having trouble with locking or firing it. I want something minimalist without a lot of ridges (so titans, k101s, etc are out), so I'm considering the nemmy, king, chi you, tree of life(?) or atom...now my questions are:

1. Aside from aesthetical differences, are there any huge performance differences among these mods?

2. Do the FT clones for these perform the same and good enough to buy?

3. What other very good bottom firing minimalist mech mods are there that you could recommend, one that won't cost over $250?

4. Are ones with copper contacts better and can you recommend ones that have them or can be upgraded(?) to them?

Thanks in advance!!!

Depends on your price range

Nemesis 1:1 clone under $50 hard hitting beautiful mod

Mine is hcigar not f/t...

Dude, you should buy a Reo Grand. You already have a mech tube mod; there won't be a ton of difference between the Magneto and another tube mod, whether you get a more expensive one or not.

The Reo Grand is a mech, but it will give you the clouds and flavor that dripping does without the mess

As much as it pains me to say it, Mike is right. If you want a "different experience" from a mech... then a bottom feeder (like the well proven Reo) and RDA is going to provide it.

A tube mech is... just a tube and some caps. With a few exceptions (GUS Lord for example) they functionally, don't vary much. A Sigelei 8W or 19 can have as minimal a voltage drop as a genuine Nemesis... it's the quality of the "wrapper" that sets these "battery holders" apart.

I suppose, if you can't live without a tube mech, but want to experience a bottom feed system for cheap, you could pick up an Vision Aurora BFT... "same same, but not so same same".

Look into the Ja victoria. Very nice mod.

As far as the guys posting above me they dont know what they are talking about. There are differences in voltage and current loss between all mods. (there is an awesome thread on calivapers.com where a guy tests the voltage and current loss) Some are noticeable and some are not. For example there is a noticeable difference vaping on a brass mod vs ss mod. Also the contacts make a big difference.

I'm really considering this especially since I keep on seeing reviews about this being virtually the same with the real deal when it comes to performance

Thanks for the suggestions! I've heard really good things about the Reo but I just can't bring myself to like how it looks...maybe I will try the cheaper version in the future to see, but for now I want to stick to 18650 tubes...the GUS Lord is very interesting, I'm putting it in my top choices for sure!

As far as minimalist bottom firing mechs, you're currently holding one of the best in your hand. That magnetic switch is never going to wear out, where as a spring switch will over time. I agree with the Reo suggestions, i can't wait to have the financial means to get my hands on one. But for now, my magneto is perfect for me.

All the posts about this mod makes me very excited! I prefer to use 18650s right now and it sucks that it's not out yet, but I think this one is on top of my list now and I'll definitely try to get one when it comes out. Thanks for the rec!

Another option is to go for a tube with the button in a different location and see how you like that. Such as the Roller or Poldiac (top button) or the EA or GGs (bottom side button). I'm a fan of the EA clone from Hcigar EHPro (not the FT EA clone).

BTW: A Brass H cigar nemesis clone is hard to beat for $50

 

[willsketchforfood]

Decided to go with the hcigar clone for now, but will keep an eye on the other suggestions for next time. Thanks a lot!!!

The nemesis clone is hard to beat for value. It's the best clone I've ever seen.

If you want to go the non clone route eventually, the paps 2.5 SS is 140$ at domo and has the best button of any mech out there. Worth saving for.
