The one from Angel seems to have the wrong thread size to allow it to hybrid with the Nemesis. Otherwise it seems OK.

I don't own a Nemesis (or any mechanical mod) so I am fine with the hybrid function not working. I am half tempted to get a hammer mod though (preferably one that would take a 26650 battery).

As with all things of Chinese manufacturer, it all depends. Since quality control is hit or miss and you can get an awful individual piece from a company known for producing good items and a completely acceptable one from a run that had issues, I'd suggest waiting and ordering from FastTech. In this case at least they all seem to be of decent quality. And under $20 (if you choose to get the 510 adapter and drip tip) vs $50 is an extreme local business get it now premium.

On second thought, the local store gave me some amazing pointers and helped me troubleshoot what was going wrong with my Fogger. The owner showed me an easy way to clean my coils to practically new condition with very little effort so I'd rarely need to rebuild, showed me an awesome way to wick my Fogger, adjusted my coils and showed me the best way to clip the leads, and really went way above and beyond what should be expected so I think I will support him and buy the 3D he sells. I may pay more, but he insists the brand makes some of the best clones available and even if there isn't a difference between the version he sells and the cheaper ones, people like him need to stay in business. I do know that the threads in his 3D were very good and the seals were tight so at the very least I know I am getting a quality unit and I also know if something goes wrong they are there to help me correct my mistakes. These guys are extremely passionate about vaping and making sure their customers have a positive experience so the difference in price is well worth it and I have no reason to doubt the product he's selling is top quality.

I tossed mine in the drawer with my protanks. I have to be able to lay my device down and this thing just leaks everywhere. I have the vapingtech version and I really tried to like it. Waste of money for me. My junky Igo's accomplish the same job and doesnt have the plunger. Cost less too. I'm glad I didnt buy the real one. Spend $$$ on nic RIGHT NOW, thats your best investment!
PLUNGERS ARE FOR TOILETS!

Bought the Hcigar version. It lives in my vape junk box. Looked good on my nemmy, has good flavor, BUT it's a pain to build on, the airflow sucks, it's a pain to fill and I can't lay it on it's side. You want good flavor, buy a CATs. Clouds? Any number of RDAs that you can easily drill out the topcap for good airflow will work better. The 3D? Good idea, on paper. Not so good in practice. My 0.02 cents.

So I picked up the 3D today. After some initial frustrations setting this thing up (the stem needed to be tightened down so I could attach the coil without the post spinning freely and the center post did not make contact with the 510 adapter so I added a small O ring from my fogger), I've got to say this is a great atty. The draw is definitely on the tight side and I haven't put it down long enough to see if it leaks, but so far it is much better than I was expecting. Tons of flavor and vapor for a 0.9 ohm single coil build. So far I'm liking this thing much better than the Stillare clone I bought a few weeks ago. You get the taste and vapor of a dripper without having to drip all the time. I think I will be sticking with this thing for a while. Now to drill out those air holes....

Meh..get an origen, magma.. and the few others that have popped up with huge wells instead. It's a pain to refill 1.5mL of juice..if that with a lot of the clones.

Won't the Magma and other with deep wells leak like crazy if you lay it on its side? So far, this 3D is leaking less than my Fogger. Refilling isn't bad with a needle nosed bottle, but yes, it could be better.

I don't recommend the Cigreen one. The center post on mine won't tighten down all the way, so it sometimes springs apart when you try to "plunge" it, and the two side posts are really loose as well. Mine didn't come with the adapter, which was okay because I've got a Nemmy, but it's really unusable because of the issues with the posts.

Either that gasket I put at the bottom end of the post made a big difference, or it was tightening it down with pliers. Either way, mine is rock solid now but it was unusable before the gasket and the pliers (literally would not work -- almost returned it before thinking it through). The side posts are designed to be loose until you screw the coil on unless you have an issue with the threading.

but why would you lay a dripper on its side when you filled it to capacity? what size needle nose?
