Depends on where you like your fire switch. I have all bottom button. The King is a very durable clone if you get one from HCigar. The Nemesis clones have a fickle bottom switch, but with the addition of switch magnets that can be resolved. The Panzer is now being cloned. Chi You seem to be pretty popular, but I don't have that one yet.
Then there is the bottom feeders like the Reo. Expensive but I got my eye on one atm. lol

I wouldnt order any of the smoktech stuff including the magneto... just had one of their bolts completely melt down because of a cheap wiring. Yes I know the bolt is a sub $20 mod but its a Tube, 3 bits of wire, a switch, and a 510 connector. You think they could use real wire and actually solder it correctly. Really scary stuff - I will rebuild it but am ...... that i blew $20 on a piece of threaded pipe.

The K100 is a great device to start on. If you go with a Clone get an Hcigar or good quality clone otherwise you may end up with a mess like i got.

No problems with the magneto as of yet, build quality is excellent.

Do you want tube/box? How much do you want to spend?

I've been using the same Reo for about 3 years.

Not recommending it above all others but it is mechanical and durable. But it's a bottom feeder box mod. Not sure if that's what your interested in.

I'm a top side button person, and have been using a Sigelei 24 for months now, but considering seriously getting the Poldiac clone. While I'd love to have the real deal I can't afford it. Another one I'd love to have but can't afford is the Roller, but it will have to wait till I get richer. I just never could get comfortable with the bottom button thing.

I have a magneto and a chi you clone. I would lean more towards saying magneto for everything is adjustable from how far you want your switch to throw, telescopic and adjustable pin in the 510 connection to adjust hight on different addies to have them sit flush. The chi you clone I have, the throw on the switch is tight and clean an it has adjustable battery contact. But no adjustments to make the Addie fit flush on top.
*edit* after watching a you tube vid my chi you does have an adjustment to have the Addie sit flush.
