Which Mech Mod to get?!?!?!?!

[Mitch65]

Hey guys

I'm Looking to buy my first Mech mod. I originally wanted a Paps but cant find them anywhere. I have narrowed it down to either the Atom or the Sentinel V3/M16 by Grand Vapor. I would like the have the best Mech for under $200. Which one would you choose and why. I'm primarily a rba and Carto tank guy.

a big thanks to all that chime in.

I have an electric angel and it works great.

The Sentinel is ugly. The Atom is cool.

super t manufacturing has come out with a revamped 18650 precise (the simplicity), which is also significantly smaller than the p+ 18650.
it's also $134.99, which is a great price. i bought my p+ 18650 in september for $200.

Get a poldiac - has really low voltage drop, great venting, gorgeous design, great button, adjustable pos post- it's not just a batt tube with a button like most mechs - it's a great design - a little more than 200 but so worth it - as far as I know there are no clones as well

I'll second erictho on the Simplicity from Super T. I have the 18650 and the 14500 Simplicity, very pleased with both.

I'm literally one click away from ordering a Innokin iTaste SVD . Kinda afraid after I order it tho someone will list something that performs equally as good and looks cooler. lol Welcome!

There are Paps all over the classys

Soapbox: there is a wealth of mech "mods" devices out there now... all similar yet all somewhat have their own story too.

we know what makes a good up to date mech now: materials for conductivity, adjustable top pos. contacts/connector, button switch designs... its all about knowing the differences and which details are best for you.

some Chinese clones are starting to catch on with what works... and if you can make a good RBA coil, even some so so clones are functional.

"Best" is going to run $200 with shipping ... easy.

re: contact materials; some will need upkeep; cleaning and different metals require different cleaning methods... the SuperT Simplicity has a coating that doesn't need cleaning and is conductive (to whats under it)... that said, if you know your metal, they're all fairly easy to clean.

off soapbox...

The first "unregulated" PV that I bought was a Silver Bullet (it has a wired switch), and the reason I chose it is because I wanted a backup PV that if necessary I could use it for a hammer, and it would still vape. Haven't needed to use it for a hammer yet, but two+ years later it still vapes like a champ.

The last mechanical I bought, I chose because I wanted a (non telescope) tube that used the same battery that I use in my Provari and my Reo. So I chose the Zen-2 DX-490 ($110) knowing full well when I bought it that I would be spending a little time in the think tank with a screwdriver getting it to perform the way I wanted it to.

My point is that the first step in the process is determining what it is that you are trying to accomplish by getting a new mod.

EHPro EA Mod clone is a solid performer and retails around $70 I am guessing. Got mine in a co-op for about $38 and worth every penny!

P.S.: Spending hundreds won't guarantee you the best, only the most expensive

 

[RizzyLips]

For your first mech mod I don't recommend getting anything to expensive. Not everyone like mechanicals, you might not either. I would recommend a kamry k100, its very inexpensive and it is a solid mech for someone new to mechanical mods.

 

[serenity21899]

I have a Natural and a Silver Bullet. I like them both, but the Silver Bullet is better made and from the US.

If you are a carto guy, then you may want to look into a Z2 Carto Hybrid, really sweet little mode, and with a 40$ 510 connection you can run just about anything on it. But I also think a Plodiac is a really solid underrated product also....so many mods, so little time.

Im all for the Private v2, i have the clone and if the real thing is even better it must be heaven

It's worth the money to me. Plus they don't put gremlins in the real deals.

I think of those gremlins as functionally challenged lol

I'm saving up for one myself at the moment. The Poldiac is where I'm pretty sure I want to go I'm just hesitant about the whole pants and shirt thing. Seems to me like the metal sleeves would slide around and feel uncomfortable when pushing the button.
Since the Caravela seems to be out of reach for a while, Poldiac looks to be a close second. The Simplicity+ looks really nice too but I've got a thing for brass. I'm hoping to see a Poldi @ Vapecon in the flesh and will go from there.
I just can't get into the clones personally

 

[HauntedMyst]

Get a Super T ELA if you can find one.

They sure put plenty of gremlins in my new Zen!
