Ordered from 101 Vape - Carlsbad, CA: 2 April 2014 evening
Received an email with USPS tracking number: 3 April
Arrived in Detroit: 7 April
Time in transit: 5 days
This is my first mechanical mod.
My new brass Nemesis clone by HCigar from 101 Vape comes in a nice box but no instructions or description of the pieces. Just the mod and the box.
First Look:
WOW- it's so small! On the computer looking at mods with my big screen, they look like tree limbs. But this thing is so tiny. I was shocked! First mod I ever saw in real life.
But anyway, it's a beautiful, shining brass that will soon become covered with fingerprints. But I really don't care because at this point in my vaping experience I don't care about looks; I only care about performance.
Threads are very smooth but since there's no rough features to grip, at times, it has been tough to unscrew and screw the pieces together. I put a fresh AW IMR 18650 battery in to try it out.
Nemesis fires from the bottom and it took me a few minutes to get the hang of how to hold it and fire it... Locking and unlocking the locking ring is really hard. And weird. Sometimes it's impossible and then at times by unscrewing the firing button a little bit, all of a sudden, the locking ring easily turns. I don't understand that.
Loaded a SmokTech Vivi Nova tank from RTD Vapor on it and the first couple hits were a strain until I took a closer look and lined up the two air holes on the top cap with the markings. With full air, it hits great. And I mean GREAT. Much better than that same tank on my EgoTwist. It's filled with Extreme Ice from MBV (mount baker Vapor) and the flavor seems clearer on the Nemesis than the Twist. And that's not my imagination. It does hit stronger and the taste from the tank on the Nemesis is more like dripping into the atty on a fresh, fully turned-up Twist.
Because I haven't gotten the hang of locking and unlocking the firing button on the bottom, I can't stand it up so I have to lay it on its side when I'm not holding it. I don't like that much because I'm used to dropping my egos in a glass jar when I'm not vaping.
While doing my research on the Nemesis, some others reported problems with the springs and the firing button so they changed the springs with magnets. But I haven't had a single non-fire. I guess I'm pushing it just right.
And it does vape nice. Really nice!
