Well a good alternative is a SMPL mod V2 as long as your using an RDA and not a tank.

well then the possibilties are endless...alot of what drives peoples choice is asthetics how the mod looks...there are not a ton of authentic mods for under 100, but there are a sizeable few, and they are geared toward being affordable..so either them or clones....if that is an issue...if size is an issue yeah the smple is kinda cool it's small it is a hybrid connection in reality so less voltage drop...Personally I have short stubby fingers so the size of the smple is nice...I like pinkie buttons for their ease of handeling but they are wayyy out of fashion...I like copper contacts when I can find them...

I've used alot of mechanicals but this one has the smoothest button out of anything I've used. It's set with ball bearings so you get the same hit no matter where or how you press it. It also has a neat zero voltage drop. A few mo the back this mod was over 100$ but the copper is 68$ and aluminum is only 53$

Aluminum

It has copper contacts with a floating 510 so it's really user friendly with a nice weight to it. When you consider he price of a clone and average price of most quality authentic this is bargain imho.

Depends on who you talk to... Some say that the copper body still helps reduce Voltage drop;but, I've never experienced a difference when all else Is the same. Im curious on what @pulsevape opinion is there
Hey I like how you put that I'm glad you told me that didn't think of that

Or he could get one of each 
That's what I did over time. The copper flagship is my work horse; but, I also have a ss praxis mod and a stingrayxti authentic for when appearance matters.

Thanks, it's definitely a workhorse. But like @pulsevape said, it does tarnish. But, some copper polish and polishing cloth will take it right off. Pretty much hit with the polish once a week and the res of the week I run over it with the cloth once a day.
Some people like the patina though, you may be one of them. There's whole threads in here on people doing a forced patina then putting a laquer over the patina to lock it in.
Im to anal for that, i love the polished look

No it works, it's a clear coat of some type. I've seen mods after it's been applied. I think it's the same laquer they use after the patina is put on.
I didn't ever look I to it, because after paying 129$ for the mod -before regulated mods were what they are now- I didn't want to take the chance I would fuck it up. Now, I see mechmods as a purist mod and don't want mess with it.
I was reading earlier in this post and did I read it right about building above .1 ohm? That will pull 42 amps through your battery. You'll need a parallel box mech mod if you want to build that low. There isn't a tube or battery out there that can handle that low of a build. Only a parallel box will safely do it with a good quality battery. Keeping it safe.
