SMPL clone or zombi clone

[lucasporter]

Looking at getting a mech and both of these look pretty good, the zombi has a magnetic switch which makes it more appealing than the SMPL. Any other suggestions on a mech ?

If you go for zombie. Ft have the velocity clone in zombie style!!!

I wouldn'tsuggest a hybrid for your first mech, too easy to make a mistake with the connection. I would recommend something like a nemesis

I use nemesis clones and smpl clones.
I go for the most popular ones on fasttech.
The nemesis is a great first mech as it will fire any atty.
The simple as said you have to make sure the pos pin on the atty protrudes enough.
You can get smpl with magnetic switch but I went with springs as they had better reviews.
Nemesis can be fitted with magnets.
It is not a simple case of springs bad and magnets good. It depends on the switch.
I would recomend a nemesis and a smpl and if only one the nemesis first.

Might give the nemesis a go, has anyone used either the fuhattan or Manhattan? Or would you still recommend a nemi? Want to get the best mech I can to start me off [emoji16]

Not tried those I am sure they have their fans.
The nemesis is the most popular mech of all time and you can find spare parts. That is important to me.

Looks like I'm gonna go with the nemesis! Does it have a lick to stop it pocket firing? And would you recommend getting magnets or sticking with the springs?

These or Samsung 25rs? Sorry for all the questions just want to get the best that I can and the safest https://www.ukecigstore.com/lg-18650-he4-2500mah-35amp-battery.html

Yes the nemesis has a locking ring unlike the smpl or most other hybrid mechs also a good reason not to start with a hybrid mech .
The samsungs are considered the best.
Whatever battery you get I would not push them past the safe continuous rating.
Have you read up on all the battery safety stuff, ohms law.
Working out the amp draw is the most important.
You should buy a ohms reader to check resistance and check for shorts. You can use a regulated device for this though they tend not to be so accurate.
Youtube videos are good for learning this stuff.

I'm familiar with ohms law and have been reading up about battery safety and amp age and the draw from the battery, starting to make sense of it all after a while, don't plan on building much lower than 0.2, which if I'm correct is within the battery's safe amp draw?
