Sbs mechs

[Mbsun]

OK I have a hankering for a sbs mech, tbh mainly because I think a nice polished stainless one, or at least stainless around the 510 and base, would look awesome with an atti or 2 I have (which is a f ing stupid reason to spend money but there you go)

2 questions, I am struggling to find much out there, needs to look good with a 22mm ati but also be 21700

Any suggestions

Also
Vs a hybrid tube (all things being equal which obviously they are not), what would the voltage drop be like?
Tbh on this I am kinda thinking on average a sbs would perform similar to a squonk mech (in that there will be a bar or similar to loop round the mod from the bottom to the 510

(The reason I ask the second question is I have seen some that are convertible from tube to sbs, and the thought occurs that the tube will outperform the sbs kinda making the whole thing just a posers vape

I can't think of many SBS Mechs that are around these day to be honest? There was a Mech made by a company that's name escapes me at the moment but....... an 18650.
There are still some Evosticks out in the wild, but again, 18650s And there are a few Gizmos around, one of which I own.


Alternatively, IF you can find one, there's the Ambition Mods "Converter.




OR the Tiny Dicodes Dani Mini


But
The Converter and the Dani are both regulated Mods.

Out of those picture, the second one of the converter I guess is the most appealing, near to what I am looking for. Though actually I like the look of most dicodes stuff, mini dani whatever, I just don't like a chip, especially on a single battery mod as it isn't powerful enough (compared to 4.2v on a .11 or so coil (which is why 21700 as well (need the amps)

Things I know of

Era by angry fox- tbh too much delrin
Spring fire by caveman- don't mind cerakote but want a bit more steel , huge voltage drop due to spring in sbs, don't like the 2 tubes glued to coaster look, also expensive
One I found last night looked good, close to what I want called a meck sider by undercode,

But all these are 18650

There is a German one from a few years back which was proper high end , gonna have a look through Todd's reviews see if that's where I saw it. Was polished stainless top and bottom with black delrin in between, but I think maybe you could swap the delrin out for wood burr. Was in the 500 euro region and even though full mech did have a soldiered wire taking the positive "round the corner) to the 510, instead of the standard squonk style bar. Did have a clicky switch though instead of (again squonk style) loose button pushing sprung bar
Still 18650 though

Well done for weening yourself off, unfortunately like Carol, I have issues occasionally
