Following the catastrophe of my SVD @TylerD was gracious enough to lend me his mechanical mod. Here's the Private V2. Not only that, but also 2 18650 Efest batteries 
What an awesome guy!
Now coming from an SVD with rebuildable atomizer setups from 0.9 - 1.3 ohms I was on my way to go full mech anyway. Having tested the Kayfun Lite plus RTA and Trident RDA both on 1.1 ohms I can confidently say I am converted. I will not be replacing my SVD. Running a 4v battery atm I'm not even hitting 15w but the vape is so much purer. Honestly... it's a different ball game. And sub-ohm is still to come.
I also much prefer the simplicity of a mech. No wiring that can go wrong, press a button to create a contact with the battery and you're firing. Like Mathee said, you drop it in the river and fish it out. This mod, however does not have an adjustable centre pin, so some atties like the Kayfun (mine doesn't have an adjustable positive pin) won't sit exactly flush. See the pictures. Another thing to consider is that the Private V2 cannot stand upright with the firing button unlocked. This might be adjustable with a tighter spring or a magnet setup.
Threads are super smooth and it's got a combination of brass and copper contact points. The locking ring for the firing button is reverse threaded.

This is 18350 and 18650 sizes on a Kafun and Trident.
This is as close to a dream setup as I can imagine. Thank you all for this experience (and Mr. Durden for his mech!)
Ps. I urge you all to read this thread before going mechanical.
