I love my nosiey cricket but not the build quality so much. What are some other good options for series mods?

Worth 10 times what the cricket is worth though.

Maybe Ill grab a clone. Itd be nice to have a mod switchable between parallel and series. Ive got the Noisy Cricket coming soon, so well see .

The Lucifer might well be the best mech mod made. Voltage drop is minimal. It is a switch box. It looks amazing. Thee is nothing not to like about it.

Its 510 engraving alone is enough for me to wanted it....its pretty damn sexy, it has a "gun safety" and a trigger firing button....I only wish it had a battery mag...but I can see why they didnt.
Can buy and swap out the grip inserts, change the device from series to parallel, its small and very light and its all around a great buy....Its very underrated.

I love the ability for switching circuit config, but to me personally the looks have always turned me off, a bit tacky feeling for my tastes. I wish they had made the incubus switchable. I would be all over that

I only really liked this version of the Incubus...I sold the first version right after I got it. Too many peices and parts and the voltage drop shows dramatic changes when each of those parts get patina'd.

But they arent that much different from each other, the Lucifer has a nice trigger while the Incubus uses a "Hammer style" button...I did like the Battery Mag though:

That is a very decent price. The Lucifer is by far my favorite mod and grossly underrated by many because they NEVER used it. My second favorite series mod - wait for it - the very cheap Hannya mod. I've had zero issues with it. It has a protected switch (`194 watt mosfet), a 510 connection. It does have a very small button though but meh - it always fires. I picked one up for 45 dollars shipped to my door. Be careful. Some Hannyaare not series but parallel - be sure you get the series.

That said the Lucifer is #1 overall mod in my books. Build quality, looks, application is flawless. Easy to take apart and clean. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Like Ray I have a lot of mods and mostly mech. My second favorite mod is actually regulated - the Vaporflask Stout. Yes, i said it. The Stout hits instantaneously and the battery life is quite good. Thing with the Lucifer though is that the batteries on a mech series if you build around .45 - .5 last the whole day. I use a single coil alien or clapton on a twisted messes on the Lucifer. Love it to bits.

Ray, do you have a clone version? I just won't lay out that many clams on a authentic version.

If you have a clone, where did you get it, and do you think it was good for the money?

I bought mine from pieholesuaceultraejuice and its a authentic...I heard the clones were the same but dont have silver plated contacts and thats the only real difference. I did see the authentic is going for $120 now...I wouldnt hesitate to scoop it up again. If you dont want to pay that price I suggest you fold your thoughts on clones....theres nothing wrong with clones, I own a bunch as long as its a true 1:1 there really isnt a difference.

Just ordered a clone on FT. Mine will be all black. Looked at the one with white sides, still like the all black better. The Cricket just has too many things I don't like, so the Lucifer is a series I'll love, I'm sure.

Thanks for your comments. :cheers:

Not being as flush with cash as Ray I opted for the double clone ...

Still works great though ...
It looks well enough, even the exact opposite colors I have ;)...How do you like it? Was it smaller then you originally anticipated? I thought it would be atleast a inch taller then it actually was!

The MCM Underground is another series box option.

Thatll be my next mech purchase :) I love the idea of being able to jump between series and parallel. Plus it just looks cool, love the devil looking pentagram.

It is a bit smaller than I thought. It is very close to the original and just as hard to switch modes, lol. Hits very nice. Shipped to my door under 50 dollars which is pretty decent.

I dont really like the mirror sides [of the MCM Underground] though...
Agreed. I already sent a message to MCM asking if they were going to release alternative side plates.

Im glad you'll atleast have the device to use...its a winner for sure!

Some Carbon Fiber or other Weave variants would be very nice...I guess I could just put a vinyl wrap on the plates...but I would rather some real laid CF.

Thank you Ray!!! I kept seeing FT and just couldn't come up with anything. And I've ordered from them for a while now. Thank you again!!

As another thought what about the El Diablo on FT? I searched and couldn't find anything. I just like the sliding battery cover on it.

My next buy will be the Solid Copper Dimitri and Cherry Bomber...

I was looking at the cherry bomber. I just bought a noisy cricket. I was torn between the luicfer and the el Diablo. I want a cherry bomber anyway. I've got too many rda's and not enough tanks now. It was the other way around. Oops. What build do you like in your el diablo? I always buy clones to try them out then if I like them I get authentics. I started out buying all authentics and wasn't finding what I was looking for.

Oh ok. I'm still at 12 nic. Started at 24. Coming down 3mg every 6 weeks or so. Trying to take it slow. Sometimes I go back up. I like a good hit. I just got into mechs and don't like the hybrid connection. So I'm trying to see what I like now. Thanks for your time!!

Every week I buy a new rda or box. I've got 9 and 8 boxes. I just started getting serious about vaping 3 months ago. Before that I stuck with a Reuleaux with an Archon and fused claptons. I got another Reuleaux and Twiated Messes rda so I could have more airflow. Then I tried a buddy's Hog and I decided to get serious. I bought the noisy cricket because it was $15. Another buddy bought it and decided he was scared of it. Never put a build on it. It's cute and all but I want something a little more substantial in my hand. I have huge mitts and it just gets swallowed up. Plus I don't like the top firing button. That's why I was looking at the lucifer. I like that side firing button.

What batteries are you using on those super low builds? I'm using VTC4's from Liion. That all I run in everything I own. My wife has some LG's (don't remember the number but they're 25 amps) and when they die I'll replace them. I've got 12 batteries for me. When they hit half charge I replace them. How many boxes and mods and batteries do you have? I want something to aspire to. ;)

Nothing like waiting to beat the hell out of the mailman for coming to the house late!

Or UPS doing this sure mail or ssomething like that where they deliver it to the post office then you have to wait on them. Even though they got it yesterday morning they don't deliver it until the day after today. Adds 2 days to it. Or ordering from China. Oh my :headbang::headbang::headbang:

25R's or LG HB6's are all I use in everything. I vape everything down until I feel its too anemic and thats usually at the 3.4V range.
Lets just say we can double your boxes, add to the exponential to the RTA/RDA/Tanks, and Ive got about 5 miles of wire altogether....Ive been doing this for around 2 years and I have been building a nice collection. Most of the stuff I have is in its boxes and I dont even have photos of them as I dont use them anymore (Early RDA's/Evods/Sub Tanks/Tube Mods) The pictures Ive posted in the thread I use more often then not...not that Im bragging, Im sure the money could of been spent better...but I love the hobby side of vaping and for whats its done for me I dont mind throwing away a couple hundred bucks for things that mean something to me in it. If I pulled out all the stuff I own altogether it would make my local vape shops look empty :p
Batteries...well the ones that havent died and are in use, maybe 16 25R's/6 HB6's? Ive got maybe 4 Gallons of juice on hand (not even DIY)....
In time Im sure you'll have the same thing...buy smart, use sales and discounts, tax budget and you'll get there pretty quickly.

Just think if I didnt trade or sold a handful of the stuff I have here and there...PaulS has quite a collection also!
