Not sure about that list - it’s dated Jan 21 and the mods are 4-5 years old??
Yeah, I couldnt find a newer list
Im here. Thank you everyone.
Thank you. The reviews seem pretty decent. 
Im always open to buying a clone. I have a few RTA clones that work perfectly.
Do yoou have a specific mod that you would recommend.?
Someone mentioned Timesvapes mods and another one i could recommend is Vaperzcloud’s Sceptre (21700 )that has gotten real good reviews and you can get it for around 100$.
El Thunder from Russia also makes good mods and they are affordable and of high quality. They got mods from 18650 to 21700 and around the 100$ mark.
Buying Purge, AV and the likes of those manufacturers is kind of throwing money away considering the price they ask for most mods. I mean shelling out anything from 200$ till way over 400$ for a hype just isn’t worth it to be honest.
That is kind of a funny list to bring to the table considering that most of those mods isn’t even available on the market today and if you find one it will be a used one.
Most of these Best of Mech Mod lists you find is kinda strange since they never bring out real mods that people actually buy and use today.
I am a bit cautious when it comes to buy mech mod clones thanks to most not using the best materials the originals are using and the overall quality might look good but in most cases they really aren’t.
I have tried a few clones and even though they all looked really nice and in par with the originals the material quality wasn’t as good as it should be and the 510 threads on one of them just didn’t cut it and the RDA couldn’t be tightened as good as it should be and with that comes a risk of getting a short maybe.
With mech mods i am really careful since an error could lead to Thermal Runaway on the battery which will end up with you holding a pipe bomb in your hands and getting injured.
I don’t have the same concerns when it comes to RDA or RTA clones since the chances aren’t as high to blow yourself up as it is with a cloned poor quality mech mod.
Not saying that you shouldn’t go for a clone, all i am saying is that you should be careful so it doesn’t end badly for you.
For some reason only a few of these lists showed up when I googled them. This one is a newer one, waaaaay down on my search.
Even that list contains more regulated or semi regulated mods than it contains real mech mods.
A real mech mod doesn’t have a mosfet switch nor does it have a chip regulating the power. A real mech doesn’t have any cables what so ever, it is pure mechanical as the name imply.
But i gotta admit that this list was way better than the first one you posted.
not true. Ram and Azeroth box squonkers have a wire.
btw, the Ram is very nice, and the Azeroth is nearly a junk.
i cannot speak for all/most of them. but i have many PURGE, clone and original. the $30 clones are just as good as the originals, except for minor artwork.
Wow, i wasn’t aware of that. I really dont have much experience with mech mods. Ill definitely take that into consideration.
In those cases i don’t consider them to be a true mechanical mod either.
So just by looking at them you can actually say that the material used is the same high quality as Purge are using themselves? Sorry for not believing that at all man. The whole idea with a clone for 30$ is of course to make it real cheap so they can sell tons of it and in order to manage that they cut corners on the material they use. There is no way around that fact man since had they used high quality material those clones would cost you a lot more.
Maybe what you mean by as good as the originals is that they hit as good as the original and that is something else entirely and another discussion perhaps.
Sorry for derailing somewhat from the OP’s original question.
then what catagory would you put them ?
i am a hobby machinist. i bought and machined Naval brass(PURGE brass).
and i have machined a PURGE clone.
basicly, they are the same. as far as price differences, the material has almost nothing to do with it.
Robin if you haven’t found anything yet I have a Limited Edition Cartel made by Hcigar. It’s a tube mod, quite hefty and thick. It could probably double as cannon if modified slightly.
It’s yours if you want it. Just shoot me an address.
is that a stack, or what ? why 3 pieces ?
It will accept 18650, the shorter 18350 and I forget the last size.
