Which mech would you pair with the forthcoming AL1 from Vapinaze?

On impulse, I pre-ordered an AL1 from Vapinaze. Since I've got some time before it gets shipped, I'm trying to decide which mech mod would go best with it; for no rational reason whatsoever, I think it deserves better than the sigelei ZMax V5 (stainless) I have right now. The first two mods that come to mind are the Sentinel v3.5 in black and the Titan v1.5, the Dark Stalker (black). On the other hand, I don't know if I should stick with the whole black theme. I've kicked around the idea of getting a SuperT Precise ELA, but that's even more wait time.

Thoughts, suggestions?

TIA

The ELA is a fantastic mod with great features. The only drawbacks for me are that the outer diameter is 24mm and the adjustable air flow cap only works with standard atties or cartos, and that's just me knit picking. Best telescope available AFAIC, but good luck ordering one. Someone would have to cancel their pre order for one to become available and they aren't taking any new orders for them for a good while. But if you can get one, it's well worth the wait. I'll never get another telescope mod after having mine. The ELA is a telescope, but feels like a fixed tube mod.

OIY, now I really want an ELA! :facepalm: :D

Just picked my up today. Couldn't help but rub it in... mwahaha ;). I will take pictures of it (as well as my other mods) with the AL-1 on it to see how each looks. I keep thinking though that it'll look good on my provari (instead of any of my mech mods) because I have the black j-wrap on it because matching is nice. Here's a pic of it with my diver/scuba tank on it, but I can see the AL-1 looking good on it too. Maybe run micro coils on it.

I think a custom dna 20 futura will do the trick. But if youare dead set on a mech
The m16 is what I would pick

Whoa, I had no idea the futura existed (if I executed the Google search correctly; I got NexGenVapor.com). Funny you mention the M16. I've actually been eyeing both it AND the Private V2 quite a bit recently. Although, the Private V2 seems like it may be a bit too shiny/bling for me.

Forgot 1 thing. The AL-1 is aluminum which will give different heat disipation so you might have to experiment a little to find the right setup for you.
Also impulse is a great, terrible thing.

louis :vapor:

You bring up a good point. Hopefully, it's not too much of an issue considering the small size of the chamber.

Has anyone heard any sort of status update? I ordered mine 7 weeks ago and have not gotten a single update. I have gotten 4, yes 4 emails asking me to review the AL-1 but no idea when this thing will be ready or even ship.
They did say this:
Pre-order starts Monday August 26 @ 6:00 PM EST.

Pre-orders will be available for 2 weeks while supplies last.

Delivery estimates are around 5-6 weeks.

Now I know that pre orders take time, hell I'm in a Co-op that will most likely not be completed till Christmas but thats cool because I get weekly updates and they are up front about the wait.

I have emailed them twice with no response. Monday will be the 8 week mark so I'm getting a little miffed that they have had absolutely no update anywhere that I can find.

I am hoping someone here has heard something just to ease my worry.
