Cheap Alternative to the Hex Ohm?

[AdamIsAWFUL]

I really love the look and functionality of the HexOhm, but it's way out of my vape budget right now. Not really looking to spend more than 100 on a VV.

I've been thinking about the LE80, but am not the biggest fan of the design, so before I pulled the trigger I figured I'd ask and look around.

There's a few "clones" floating around on eBay but are clearly designed very differently yet still have the HexOhm logo, which is kind of lame IMO.

Any devices I'm missing or have yet to find?

I have an le80 and use it daily. For $50 it is a great working mod, but it is with out a doubt more cheaply made than the hexohm. My initial impression was that the biggest issues for me would be the ugly le80 print on the side and the odd three position switch. I initially loved the finish as it provided grip and made the mod more comfortable to hold and use. After several months of use, I still hate the le80 print and have grown to hate the finish. The finish is not durable and is flaking off of every edge, corner, and is beginning to fail on the flat surfaces. It is also a juice and oil magnet. If you have oily hands you will forever be cleaning off the mod. If you have a bottle of juice with a crappy dropper don't get it near the mod or you will be cleaning it off for days. My 4 month old mod looks like it has been through a war when in fact, it has been treated really well. It works great, don't get me wrong, but if you are the type of person who would shelve an item when it starts looking "old", this is not the mod for you.

As far as functionality, the three position switch feels cheap but has held up well to date. The voltage adjustment knob is functional, but somewhat touchy and not very sensitive during adjustment. I love the battery door which has remained tight and operates easily. The battery tray although seeming cheap compared to others has remained serviceable. The 510 is one of the few that no matter which RDA or tank I use, it just plain works with no adjustment ever. The low voltage cut off seems accurate but depending on the voltage used makes the mod unsuitable for use with cheaper cells that may sag under load more than others.

If they were to anodize the mod and include a rubber sleeve, I would buy a second and possible a third at $50. Unchanged, I doubt I would buy another.

Actually, I think I'm gonna buy two of those other kits (the TC) so me and the girlfriend can build them together.

Mannn, that is awesome. I wish I had the patience and time to build one of those. Someday! Definitely putting "Build Your Own Mod (without blowing yourself up)" on my bucket list.

Who else sells TC diy kits like that?

Nevermind. Found something better

well, what I was looking at is not a cheap alternative and hard work more than likely. Boxer Mod kits. Even the NoName mods look like job if you don't own a soldering stand and a good solder gun/knife or whatever you choose.
