Get a stingray / stingray X for a mech. They are lovely little devices, being probably the smallest mechs I have. And with the hybrid connector on the X, they are even shorter. Might struggle to get one in Purple though.
I had a cheap FT kick, and it was rubbish (for me at least, I did get 3 of them too), so if you are going the kick route, get a real one. But I just use straight mechs now.

I've been using kicks (I'm still on the V1!) for ages with a variety of mech mods and find they work well and give you a lot of nice options and a variety of different styles and sizes so this is a very flexible option. I find they work well with 18500 batteries. However, I recently finally got a dani and am very impressed with it. I was going to get the medium one, but finally opted for the short one with an extension cap. Because of the design the extension cap adds very little length to the mod and still looks "right" on it - which I never found to be the case with the Provari. In either 18350 or 18500 mode you get good battery life in this compared to other regulated mods I've tried and it is very compact - with the extension cap in 18500 mode it is as small or smaller than most mech mods with an 18500 + kick. I've been very impressed with it and if you get the extreme version you have a huge range of menu options to play around with I believe house of mods has just had a new delivery of them in

dave, that is what I was thinking but in the M version which is comfortably 3mm shorter than the zmax in mini form and 5mm shorter than a nemesis in 18650 with kick! But as I know 18350 s get on my nerves the 18500 with extender would probably be better. There is little information on them though apart from a long thread on another forum and it seems not many here have it

I have a Paps X that I use with and without a kick, a Nemi obviously with no kick, a Microstick and Semovar V3. I won't go into the details but if I could only keep one It would be the Semovar, two and I'd add the Microstick. All round they are the two I enjoy using the most Go the mech route to see what it's like, (I have a Kick 1 if you want to pm me Mrsmac ) but if I were looking for something reliable, set and forget and small form factor I'd choose one of the Dani's. Haven't heard of and reliability problems, it's as small as a regulated mod gets, and looks really classy. Good review by dave lockin here

Mrsmac you really have to try pure mech, at least for a week. Best move I made so far. I've been 3 days without an electronic mod and I've enjoyed every single vape. The maths is the hardest part, and trust me that ain't that hard. You helped me by passing something on, which has now gone to someone else. I'll put myself forward as a mentor if you feel you need one. It's not that hard, trust me. I'm sure everyone else here will help guide you. Going mech and winding your own coils are seperate entities, which when combined make life......well, blissful. Put simply: 10Watts is roughly 1.6 ohm 9watts is roughly 1.8ohm 8watts is roughly 2.0ohm. Simples!!

Well I'll go against the flow. I've had and got mech mods, vv and vw's in lots of forms but for the last three months or so all I really use is a provari. I'll defo be getting a P3 when there realised. I'll still dabble with buying other mods but I doubt anything will take the place of my Provari as my all day device, except the P3

then there is the smok magneto even @johanino cant break it They are very long/tall for a mech, I like my Astro & Pisces T clones both are small and robust (Pisces T only does 18500 & 18650).

With a Dani 10w 9w 8w no matter what :)ohm, is not roughly but actually, and it stays there right from fresh to recharge. That's simples

Wow, went away for a wee while and all these replies I have looke at the magneto and was considering one the other day but I think I stalled because it's telescoping like the zmax but it does look sleek. @scooby you are too kind, I purchased one earlier but I sincerely thank you for the thought also thank you Ripshod for the quick break down and mentoring, may take you up on that!I knew there was a reason I always tried to build to the 1.8, 2 ohm mark lol I vape my fruits at 8.5 lol Right, so I should have the purple nemi in the post tomorrow, a kick arriving tomorrow and some 18500 batts. I have one fully charged 18650 when this one dies in the zmax v2 which I will give a try on pure mech on the nemmy I have put in a box to see how it goes and will compare it to using it with a kick. Love you guys! Also looked at the stingray for its sleek looks before the purple nemi but missed that one. Let's see how I go on the raw and then the kicked nemi. Ps...MrMac came in from work in a huff. Apparently as I set him up with his first kayfun in nano last night, the microcoiled with rayon aerotank is not quite doing it for him anymore...what have I started...face palm!
