Shitty picture. sorry
Wait, lemmie find my glasses...
Clearly you prefer regulated, but the one that most interests me is the mech on the far right. I just ordered one and am wondering what you think of yours.
Don't have it yet. I posted the pic in AU for somebody looking for a wood mini mech. Couldn't resist myself. From my experience with other 18350 mini mechs like those several posts above, I can run my Orchids quite well though with short battery life. If I need it to last longer I go with Erlkonigin or other single coils which I can get a day at work out of. Don't know your vaping style though.

looks to be a vanilla 350 tube thats been force patinad and maybe an igo-w+?
I think I have noticed a problem here. Is there a place that will take ISITICK syndrome patients.

You will be ok as I sit here vaping off my Istick
Ooooo. Beat me to it, Rob. Blue Ignition and brass SMPL are made for each other.
You got me thinking ahead. Blue or black PC tank might look better with that combo, plus a thin Reaper Mods type top cap. I'm making a really thin top cap for a custom wide chimney Orchid. Gonna size it to the short SMPL when I get one. Will show ya soon as I can.
I like the black tank best. Doesn't compete visually with SMPL/Ignition, which is the star. Top cap is not fitting in IMO.
I was thinking of this one:
But how about all plastic? The new tall bell cap might be just the thing. The radius would start pretty much where the SMPL ends.

I like both of those. I may have just found a way to get these also. Reaper Slammed Cap
I really like the look and feel of my new woody mini mech on the left. Wish it worked as good as it looked, but unfortunately it fires quite weak as it comes. There are too many electrical connections inside, including two spring contacts, and those compound to create the problem. I can see how to fix it though, replacing both spring contacts with more solid connections. That should get it up to mech performance. It's more than nice enough to justify the effort.

Like that one very much too. Even more. Cuanto cuesta?

Very nice looking, Drifter. Any negatives about the LPG? Airflow restriction, battery rattle, button operation?
They are both working great with the Kayfuns and seem to get plenty of airflow even tho the base is recessed into the mod. These version 2's have tiny air slots around the inside of the top of the mod in addition to pulling air from the 3 vent slots, so no complaints in the airflow so far. It's a hybrid mod with its own hybrid 510 ring, so battery rattle is a non issue. Button throw is just the right length and is nice and smooth. Other than short battrry life I really like these tiny combos
Worth it to me to take a 4 pack of 18350's to get thru the day.

All good to hear.
I'm going to spring for one. Maybe get the one with the 18650 extension for versatility. Though it's not really kosher.

Ikarus...
MicroStick...

Ugh, I'm really wanting to get a Le Petit Gros mod now, I wonder what it would look like with a Sat22 on it? Do you have one?
Le Petit Gros with Sat22
Duh! Nevermind, I tend to look through these posts backwards LOL! Wow, very nice!!
Another mini mod to consider if you looking for really cheap, but sturdy, is the R80 folding & telescoping mechanical mod. Nice to have lying around as a knock around, all day abuse taker.
Works as a "Side Winder" and "Pipe"

I thought I'd show some pix of the modified Fog Box before I finish shape, sand and stain etc. I did add a few things, a different switch and a full size spring loaded 510, but obviously I mostly took away. After opening the top wood ring to clear 23mm tanks, I thought the remaining wood was too weak and would crack the first time it was dropped. Rather than replace it with brass or plastic as I first thought, I just took most of it away, and added the new 510 so the atty always sits firmly. Couldn't resist exposing the copper battery tube. Total height to the top of the battery tube is now 78mm. All sharp edges will be rounded before refinishing. Feels great in the hand, and will fit nicely in my shirt pocket.
I will never do another. Too much work.

That's looking good! A LOT of changes you did. I just sanded mine down and am working on painting it. That's it.
I ran across this little cutey today, thought of you.

Probably won't be getting one, there's something about me and brass that don't get along well.

Wow, more than cute. That one could actually be really good.
Very much like Microstick or Gizmo, which has supposedly been cloned. Might actually go for this and figure out how to get the weight down later.
You're right; that's why I never got one. Can always drill a hundred holes in it. Same with the one above.

Im kind of wondering that as well, I have a KF4 on the way, and id like a little 350 to use it to take into the office, the gros looks awesome, but worried about the airflow

Yes it does. You will want to do a little work on it if you use Orchid, Billow, Goblin, etc.
Air flow on Kayfun V4 won't be affected because the inlets are higher up on that atty. By the same token you won't get the benefit of clearing fingers from air holes.
BTW, I have a regular LPG and this "improved version" which is more slender from the vent holes down to the switch. Have to say I like this one better.
