Mech Mod advice for stealth vaping

[dhansak]

Am looking to get a cheap, safe, reasonably robust  FT clone for out and about. I could use my nemmy in 18350 mode but would be gutted if I lost or damaged it...

So am considering:

Atom    www.fasttech.com/product/1570901
Astro    www.fasttech.com/product/1467000
K2        www.fasttech.com/product/1452203
Launcher    www.fasttech.com/product/1527300


Big plus would be able to use with an evolv kick - but not a show stopper if not.


Would appreciate your thoughts/experiences on these. Open to other suggestions too of course! Thanks.

Don't have one yet, but the Launcher was mentioned on the forum not too long ago as being a decent bit of kit for the price. Even has good reviews at FT which is a rare thing in itself.

Thanks newdawn - it does look good - but it is the longest of the list so am not quite sure yet... I am having trouble getting search to work for the past few days so am probably asking people to rehash stuff

Just tried a diff browser - same result (can't connect to server) need to try on a different PC.. hey ho - have a vape and chill (I love computers!)

No worries at all. Just make sure you read the fasttech 'discussion' section for each mod, even if it has a high star rating. There's a wee 'discussion' tab below the photos on each FT page. If there's any problem with something you're interested in, they'll be talking about it for sure...or raging about it more like.

I have an Astro and love it - it's smaller than the nemesis, but not by much. The button isn't as good, and at longer lengths it's a bit unsteady, but in 18350/18500 it's really nice. It's 23mm so works well with fogger/taifun/expros, but doesn't look silly with a kayfun.

In your situation I'd buy another nemesis clone though, with a kayfun lite clone and a nano kit. Diddy!

[dhansak]

Thanks newdawn - I have had many a head spinning time ploughing through their discussion threads - very useful stuff in there. Trouble is I never know which contributors are well informed and which ones are just talkative fruit loops ..... I always come back home here for a sanity check!

ionian - I hear you! The nemmy would do the trick - it's just that I'd be lot less unhappy if I lost/damaged one of the £10-15 mods on the list instead! Hmm ... I didn't know the nano kit existed.... interesting... very interesting...

Wee gripper is the best mech mod for stealth vaping as mod and carto fit in your hand. Think it's by smok. Can't recall where I got my second one from - was about £20. take either boge xl cartos or smok xl dual coil (better throat hit) and 18350 batteries. Also feels really nice in the hand. Literally when your first is closed around it all you can see is the drip tip (changeable drip tip)

was on offer over all the place a year ago for about £10. Mine died after 3 months. Was gutted .

Thanks @johanino - yet another beastie I didn't know existed Looks really dinky! One more for the cooking pot ....

Try this little lot:

mod

atty

nano

I can't endorse any of them personally but worth having a gander at

Dan you tempter - does look good though!

Still undecided about the mech mod part - will wait and see what turns up actually in-stock at FT first and see how it goes. At the mo I'm veering towards the Astro (the front-runner), a cheap Nemesis or just possibly the Launcher.

Not considered the atty yet - have got my very first rebuildable coming on the slowboat - a Taifun GT clone. Will see how I get on with that - I chose it as I like to refill an atty by just pouring the juice in rather using a fill hole etc. But that nano kit really does the business making a kayfun small for stealth vaping...

dhansak this won't be available on slowtech anytime soon but they don't come smaller

They are not cheap (£70 upwards) but absolutely beautiful and the mini is a real stealth mode device.

Wow - thanks OneDay and @yinyang - they both look amazing.... but I think the price bracket would have me using them at home rather than out and about.

Also have just received my credit card statement with my first full month's vape spending on Shineys and Juices - Holy C**p

Must calm myself with the thought that eventually kicking the stinkies will pay for all this! To think I genuinely thought myself immune to Shineyitis

[newdawn]

I like small shiny things and have discovered the smaller the shiny, the bigger the price.

Do yourself (and your bank balance) a favour and stick to the big 'uns...or it'll only get worse!
