to get a decent set up, that won't break the bank, and isn't a CLONE of a clone of a clone, you're going to want to look at a few brands. But don't get me wrong, there are some clones knocked off from authentics that are also REALLY nice, but you do want to see them in person to ensure that they are decent in quality.

Smoktech makes a really decent mechanical, called the magneto. For an entry level 22mm wide mechanical mod, it has very good conductivity for firing resistances low, and has a solid switch which is magnetically opposed. It's a telescopic mod, allowing you to use all sizes of 18XXX series batteries.

Another mechanical that's also a telscopic, is the Kamry K-101. It's a spring loaded bottom fire as well, has chrome plated brass contacts for good conductivity, and has low voltage drop for a good hit. The mod comes in a variety of body colors, where the tube that has holds the atomizer is a 19mm width. While it might not make much of a difference to you, to me and to some it creates a slight awkward look when you place 22mm atty's on top of it.

For dripping atomizers, I'd stay away from MOST of the clones from fasttech. The quality that you'll find from their dripping atomizers are piss poor. The price you pay doesn't justify how crap they are. The post holes are usually smaller than small, and they might not even have the post holes line up properly. This would then give you a piss poor wrap on your coils, and it will then leave you frustrated.

There are work arounds, but it's almost worth paying a little bit more and ordering a Youde device.

Which is what I want to recommend.

If you're looking for a solid dripping atomizer, I strongly suggest the Igo W3 and Igo W5. The w3 is a 19mm wide dripper, which suits the k101 nicely, has plenty of aftermarket top caps, from air flow controlled, to clear/frosted plastic ones, to solid stainless caps....really there are a LOT. It takes a mediocre affordable dripper and turns it into a solid worth while device.

Where as the IgoW5, it's a little bit more in cost, but also has a lot of aftermarket support for top caps.

I know there are other devices out there, and are pretty affordable, but all of what I've suggested to you can be found locally, and within town.

CEV has the smoktech, the k101 and the igow3.

ESV has a good selection of quality tobeco clones, and the Igo W5 with aftermarket top caps available

If you're going to jump right into a mechanical with a dripper, expect to spend in the vicinity of 150 and up, just to get you started.
That includes

Mechanical mod,
Dripping atomizer,
2 18650 high discharge batteries
2 Bay charger

A little bit more can get you some resistance wire so you can learn the wrap techniques to allow you to customize your heat and vape experience more so.
