If you don't mind the wait then these are great little mods and dirt cheap, they also come in many colours

The mini nemi clones look great and are cheap as chips - but they are 17mm, should that lip bother you

I've had a few 14500 mods - 16mm ones are JM16 and Gus G16. Of these, the Gus is one of the best mods I've had - the button is beautiful, there's next to no voltage drop, and it looks great. The JM16 looked fantastic but I had noticeable voltage drop from the 510 pin - and no amount of cleaning or noalox would improve matters. Mine was the anodized aluminum one, I'm not sure if there is the same issue with other JM16s, but I would guess it's down to the pin design.

I guess what I'm saying is if you can, get a G16!

Thumbs up for the Gus G16 also as I also own one

He also has a Penelope clone which will overhang all those 16mm mods.
If its just for the spheroid then the G16 wins hands down.

I did see your thread and looked over at my chi sleek and precise T simplicity 14500 mods and wonder if I needed both....?

But I do! sorry but I love them both for different uses and reasons. I do recommend them, the precise T is ribbed so its not polished or brushed, but its very tactile and grippable and polished AND brushed spheroids look ace on it.
Just bear in mind that mines the early version so I cant adjust to get spheroid to fit flush

Another option is the chi sleek, bonus for me is that it has a 510 and an ego head so you can swap to suit, I tend to use this with my protank minis so the dual aspect suits well. This is the titanium version

As you can see, I love 14500 format! Hope these photos gives you more mods to consider?

Ok so much to choose from here " my head spins uncontrolably" going to have a look at the G16 in a bit, Dinner 1st Pepperty that is a lovely collection you have there and im jealous looks like you need Mev piccolo more than me but have to admit that piccolo does look pretty sexy

ionian i have a mini nemi coming on the slow boat just for my Penny to sit on, im trying to cut down on my gear i have the wifey has noticed it growing but its not working

Thanks everyone will be scouring the net tonight

Just to add fuel ... I have just had an email from GUS about the 16 ... he said 'new design after September' ... what that means I have no idea, but I am going to hold off ordering the 16 and Aiolos to find out

Oh I forgot - there's also the siam mods mini cube Grandad thats 14500 size, its flaming hefty, serious chunk of stainless steel, and a fingerprint magnet but its lovely made. I think spikeyfridge had one up on classifieds recently?

I was in two minds to sell it so withdrew the offer its just too damn cute to let go so cheaply plus you can't get them any where at a decent price now
