I'll have to respectfully disagree. Owning both the RNV Sebone and the VC XXX hasn't stopped me from loving both mods equally both in pure terms of quality and in terms of everything else─despite they use different form factors.

Also how's the shipping time from their website? i can't choose an option.. Pretty sure I'm going with the Miura :)

From RNV, It’s about $25 and takes about 10 days (if customs aren’t being assholes that day it goes through port). There is only 1 option for shipping from Indonesia sadly

Yeah, a shop around here does big orders for everyone every month or so to keep the prices sane

Guess I'm not going to get one.. really don't want to wait 10+ (business days) :cry: Any other really good tube mechs you know of?

This is the older version and they've been clearing out their old stock but it is seriously the second best tube mod I own. It's second only to my solid 92.5% pure silver Pilak TM mod.

Only ones available right now here are pink or blue.

You might be able to find one elsewhere if you google around a bit.

Yes they are all copper. The ones with the colors are cerekoat on top of the copper.

The mod hits as "hard" as my hybrids, with the added comfort of knowing I can run any top on it, without having to bother with the 510 protruding far enough to be "hybrid safe."

Edit: I haven't gotten their rda ...yet
But, I will say I have one of my shorties as a run around all day mod. The other one stays on my desk for work and the legendary I keep in the den.
Basically, I'm always using one of them.

Yes they do, the RDA is outstanding and I really enjoy it. The hybrid is an excellent design, I highly recommend it.
I'll for sure take a look at it. ;)
I've got 4, they're wonderful 2 of them are blemished and the only off I can think of is maybe the coating doesn't match perfectly.

Lol, on the battery front:.
It's like the rest of vaping, what do you want out of your mod.
If you can build for the 18650 and like it, why change it?
I had the same discussion with myself on the 26650, and stuck with the 18650.
Couple that with the fact that ijoy and sanyo are the only two current companies with the 20700. And ijoy has already changed the battery they are wrapping to something around 15a, so we are left with one manufacturer that we can trust. Now, trying to find that one battery from that one manufacturer is another issue altogether.

I always built between a .1-.15 for a single 18650 anyway, and vtc5a and 25r batteries are easy to find. If the worse thing you have to do is change the battery, is it really worth it at this point?
According to the official statement by Ijoy their new 4-legged 20700 battery, which Mooch has rated 20 amps 2800 mAh, will be included in their product kits instead of the 5-legged version from now on, BUT... the 5-legged version, which Mooch has rated 30 amps 3000 mAh, will still be sold separately. So no reason to not trust the manufacturer... iJoy doesn't even manufacture them anyway in the first place. They're rewraps, but they're the best rewraps (better performing than the Eleaf/Ampking/EBAT, all of which are rewraps of the same battery as well). AFAIK a non-rewrap version of this battery is not commercially available to consumers, but there are some VERY strong indications that this is a Panasonic/Molicel/Tesla.

I currently own four mech mods that can support 20700 batteries... 2 × XXX stacked / Admiral hand-engraved by Mathew Hagermann / Suicide King Squonker. I also own the Vapergate/BJ Box Mods 'The 99' (2 × iJoy 26650) so... in Euros, I own the equivalent of ~$2,000 worth of 20700/26650 capable mods. :D

Considering they got cought red handed with the switch:
When it comes to batteries, I give a manufacturer one chance to lose my trust.
I value my gorgeous good looks to much to take my chances on a rewrap.
Just my personal view point.

The RNV Black Miura looks really nice.. The Vaping Bogan said if he could keep only one mech he would choose the Miura. I only wish they would make one in copper tho.. :( It would be a dream to get my hands on a Sebone in fire copper. Also some people say that their button sticks a bit. Did yours stick with the Sebone?
No, the button never sticks. And it never misfires.

People who, like me, don't buy the product kits will not be affected by this switch in any negative way. In fact I believe they did it to keep the price of the 5-legged version down, which I consider a good thing... and you're not factually "taking your chances on a rewrap", as only the product kits will be affected by this switch... NOT the separately sold batteries, the latter ones being the only ones that I am interested in anyway in the first place. You can't expect iJoy to keep including the best performing widely available 20700 batteries with their product kits at such low prices forever. Early adopters got rewarded... the introductory discount period is over.

Did you buy it from their website? Also if you did how long did the shipping take to get to you? And do you think it was worth it for the money? I still really love the Miura design.. Do you think i should just get the 11.11? (shipping will be alot faster) At this point i am willing to wait to wait.. But i need someone to choose for me lol.. (going insane) "if you were to choose to only keep one would it be the Sebone or 11.11 which would you pick? (keep in mind i only have 18650 batteries, really don't want to spend extra 50$ for a charger and some 20700's)

Ok, you're right.
Not telling people until AFTER a third party tested it was wholeheartedly a good business practice; and, really helps make them earn trust.

As to not factually taking your chance on a rewrap.... One word- efest.

Batteries are cheap, when you're spending in excess of 100$ a mod, saving 2$ a piece on a rewrap has always been a head scratcher to me. Just my opinion- but I've felt the same about that since the days when vamo and provape we're the chief items of debate.

No, I bought it from a local B&M store. But there are many more affordable excellent single 18650 tube mods out there... as others have stated, you can't really go wrong with a Sub Ohm Innovations (SOI) either... a while ago @raymo2u pointed me to Angry Cloud Vape Co. and Deathwish Modz... the latter now have a new complete setup called the Barebones kit─last week it had arrived at my go to B&M store, and, I can fully guarantee it is dope.

The LG HG2 is not a rewrap, yet, despite this, LG had decided to switch it from a 20 amp battery to an 18 amp battery, and, on top of that, there are a lot of fake LG HG2 batteries out there. Basically what this means is, following your own logic, LG cannot be trusted either. Just because Efest was a bad apple doesn't imply iJoy are planning to switch their separately sold 5-legged 20700 battery with an inferior one. They're not. Further, this is not about saving 2$ a piece on a rewrap. The Sanyo NCR20700A is nowhere to be found, and, even if it was, then at ~30 amps (and below) it hits LESS hard than the 5-legged iJoy 20700. At those kinds of amp draws, for a MECH user, by the time the Sanyo will have caught up due to it having a little extra mAh the battery will already need to be recharged anyway in the first place because on a MECH you don't vape the battery all the way down to 3.2 volts. The thing about the XXX is if you put the optional extension on, you can build your coils in such a way that you don't need to go very far above 30 amps to get to high wattages, and besides... on a mech the amps go down as the volts go down with every pull. As a result from this, the 5-legged iJoy lends itself better for mech use compared to the Sanyo NCR20700A, not worse. Finally, once again we're still talking about a battery the non-rewrap version of which is not commercially available to consumers so apples and oranges.

Ok follow my logic... I don't use LG either.
Also my first post on the 20700s was (in summation) that until a good dependable battery was out there, I'm staying away.

Better still, one companies bad practice does not forgive nor justify another's.

I don't use LG batteries either. But Mooch "subjected the [5-legged] iJoy's to some pretty serious abuse without problems" so, as long as I can be pretty sure they aren't going to be switched with an inferior one anytime soon (I can), I don't subscribe to those kinds of fear mongering tactics so until Mooch claims the 5-legged iJoy is not a good dependable battery, I'm staying away from your assertion.

Well, it's not fear mongering, it's giving accurate information AND my viewpoint. My viewpoint may be different from yours so in that spirit I'll put mooch's post here. One thing I try to.be careful not to do is "oversell' a potentially dangerous battery on a forum where people who may not know as much as others will read and take as Gospel.
And I'm not addressing the 5legged battery, but the practice and passing information for general passers by.

From what he is asserting, the 4 legged battery won't have any more amperage than 20a(and that appears to be generous) making it no better than a GOOD 18650, in so far as amp draw.

Mooch's post on the change and findings

Despite the fact that they said nothing until it was discovered by users-
I'll also post the explanation from ijoy to be fair.

Not sure about you but to keep there is a big difference between a 15-20a cell and a 30a cell

Any and all Lithium rechargeable batteries are potentially dangerous, but anyway... I agree accurate information is always key. I also agree the 4-legged iJoy 20700 as it currently stands is pretty much useless compared to the VTC6 or 30Q, and, knowledge of this fact also is part of what "accurate information" truly means. It is unfortunate that they [iJoy] chose to, for the time being, put the same wrap on both versions, but then again it is still easy to notice the clear difference by looking at the top contact so there really shouldn't be any proper excuse for anyone who is knowledgeable enough about battery safety to still confuse the two different batteries together. I wouldn't go as far as to burn iJoy at the proverbial stake by claiming what they've done is questionable to the point of "not dependable". In fact they actually even put a security check (scratch code) label sticker on their 26650 battery to validate the battery you purchased is genuine and authentic so IMHO they are still an intercontinental distance away from being a bad apple.

I don't have it, though. It has been eyeing me at the shop...
Ill gladly let you pay for one for me, I know how hard it an be to resist buying yourself new gear so I will support you and take the fall this time ;):D

All joking aside just about any Well machined copper or Silver tube will hit very hard and do well, Brass doesnt hit as hard but it can be a smoother experience and it takes a little bit longer to patina. Aluminum, SS, and Titanium dont hit very hard but rarely need cleaning besides the threading and Aluminum is a great "out on the town" type of tube, very light and still will give you a decent vape.

Is it worth it?

Yep, it's the hardest hitting and smoothest vape I've ever had. Silver is much easier to maintain than Copper. The machining on 2JNT is also exquisite.

Sounds good.. Damn, guess we'll see if i decide to spend 420$ If you say it's worth i might give it a try.. If not i might just go with the Black Miura from RNV designs, It'll be about $168 with shipping, just love the way it looks, wish it was made of copper instead of brass tho. Or maybe even the brand new Sarov Mod by Vaperz Cloud, looks like a updated version of the 11.11

It's a direct to battery aka faux hybrid so I really don't recommend it as a first Mech Mod. I'd start with a Mod with a 510 first, why no get both? Get the Pilak since they are limited runs then get a decent Clone with a 510 pin?

Elite is very much worth it, excellent quality and so damn easy to maintain. I don't have any 20700's, I've got too much invested in 18650's and VTC5A's are a damn good battery.
 
What are some of your personal favorite mech mods? :)
My AV Able / Goon copper authentic is my favorite. Pure silver bottom contact along with a custom bottom disc from Comp Lyfe. The drip tip is from 528 Custom, and the Stormtrooper sleeve is from Old Town Vaper Mill.

Let's see... I've invested well over $1,200 in my hand engraved brass BJ Box Mods Admiral and my brass Purge Mods Suicide King Squonker. Compared to the VTC5A the 5-legged iJoy 20700 just adds a bit more runtime if used in a single 20700 mod, but with two batteries in series on a mech the difference in runtime between the two is through the roof. I know this because, apart from my two XXX stacks, I also own three Purge Mods Assassin extension tubes so I've compared the stuff and I know what I'm talking about here. The build I used to compare them is .28 ohms dual coil fused claptons in one of my two Purge Mods Head Shot RDAs:

OK this is my favorite mech mod...why?...because it is so simple...has so few parts...works..doesn't autofire...is short..and is a hybrid and I like hybrid mods...it's not a competition mod and it's not for the cloud bro crowd...but if I had only 1 mech to chose this would be it...it's not fancy, or very expensive,just dependable and brilliantly designed. the Surfrider from BCV.

Lol been looking at this.. So far how do you like it? also is the Gunmetal version a copper tube?
Yes, copper tube and hits like a truck. Impeccable machining... no misfires, smooth and relaxed button throw... that's it, it's another keeper. :bliss:

If I could choose only one, I would go with the Able over the Colt 45 just due to a few things that are mostly preference.
One being that the Able Mod uses a set of magnets in the button assembly, where the Colt 45 is spring loaded...I just happen to prefer magnets over springs.

The other is weight...the Colt 45 seems to be a much heavier mod, but again...that’s a preference type of thing.
Lastly is the the fact that I can lock down the button on my Able Mod preventing it from auto-firing when I’m carrying it in a pocket or setting it down, where the Colt 45 has only the fact that it uses a very stiff spring to keep this from happening...just a bit of peace of mind knowing that there’s 0% possibility of an auto-fire as opposed to it being just “more than likely” not going to auto-fire

Both of mine hit impressively hard and I would recommend either of them based on my personal experiences with mine, but like I said, if I was told I could only keep one of them, I’d keep the Able Mod over the Colt 45, but I’m also partial to copper mods over Brass and can’t vouch for any differences there might be if I had a Copper Colt 45 and Brass Able or both of the same metal to do an apples-to-apples comparison with.


You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
If ya had to put a value on your colt! What do you feel its worth? I ask because I have the exact same mod with the 1st run button on it like you do.

Yes, copper tube and hits like a truck. Impeccable machining... no misfires, smooth and relaxed button throw... that's it, it's another keeper. :bliss:

Are you sure it's a copper tube? looks like it's a stainless steel tube, on the inside it shows sliver threads..

Here's one more pic. (The low profile drip tip is from my Purge Mods Carnage RDA.)

I'm pretty sure I'm going to order one, but before i do.. Do you really recommend this, or is there another one you think i should get, that in your opinion is better? I'm only going to get one mech only I'm not going to collect them.. And could you post a picture with it having a 24mm atty on it? thanks :)

Yeah it's a stainless steel tube, but the button is copper. Anyway... it hits just as hard as a copper tube because it's all about the contacts so the tube doesn't matter.
