Which country makes the best mech mods?

I'm sure this will be very opinionated but that's all I'm asking for.
I thought the Greeks had it, I love the look of the poldiac so I got one and hate it. I just don't feel the button is reliable. I've been watching a lot of Rip Trippers videos and to him it seems like Filipino mods and I think I agree. What's everyone else think.

Good mods are to be had from all over the world. There are some good Piony mods, Greek, Finish, German, Good old USA has a few. Most Bottom fire and bottom button like the GG are all pretty reliable. The Roller is a great top fire switch. I had some issues with my Poldiac also you have to get everything perfect in the switch when you reassemble it or it dose not work right.

Which country makes the best mech mods?

Why... the Chinese of course. They make 1:1 clones of $200+ mechs for 1/10 the price. ;-)

Seriously, it's not a country, nor the machines, nor even the skill of the operator... but rather the dedication and desire of the individual designer - country of origin notwithstanding.

Find a Swan and hold it in your hands, then a Caravela... a JM, a BBM Lycan. Now, decide... which country?

If you were to scroll through the vendors on this forum, you would find most viewers on Reos Mods, a US vendor. The mechanical REOs are superbly reliable mech mods with a great following. It is also a bottom feeder that can also use the Reo Rebuildable atomizer with amazing results. Once I found a Reo, I quit looking and stopped collecting disappointing mods. My experience is quite common.

If a German guy moved to Greece, would it be a German or Greek mod? Point is (At least to me) It's the craftsmanship and skill of the individual, not the location that the individual is.

If I HAD to pick, I'd pick Greece because they've brought us the Nemesis. That's just my opinion though I suppose.

You'd be better off asking which country has advanced mech mods the furthest and fastest.

...unfortunately, China is in the lead on that one. Recent clones from China have been amazingly faithful to the originals.

Not to be a partypooper here, but what has nationality to do with anything mod related? Isn't this very much a case-by-case sort of case? One good mod does not enhance the quality of another mod just by sharing country of origin, or the other way around.
