Alright guys, I'm ready to move on :)

This friday i'm hoping to place an order through fasttech for a nemesis clone, seeing as how much I loved how fast they were, considering the horror stories of months for shipping times. I however, want a HIGH quality telescopic mod, as I'll be using an 18650 sony vtc4 authentic battery that my friend has offered to give me for free to move me on to sub-ohm vaping. I was looking and just could not decide for myself. I'm looking for a sleek looking finish, great reviewed, decent priced nemesis mod, I'm willing to drop up to $30 on one, whether it be clone or authentic. I do however want to be sure that the finish on it is not going to fade or wear off, as I'm VERY self-concious about looks and that includes my PV for whatever OCD reason my brain has lol. If anyone could help out I would appreciate it very much, thanks guys

Quick Edit: I know that I'm already going to be stopping at my local Lowes hardware store to pickup a new spring once it arrives

Did you want a telescopic mod or a Nemesis clone?
The Nemesis isn't a telescopic mod.

Wow. Willing to pay a whole 30 dollars for an authentic Nemesis?
I see you are prepared to spare no expense!

No reason to be rude and judgmental, I said clone before authentic, so clearly i'm more prioritized towards getting a clone, but obviously that's beyond your comprehension.

Whether the mod is telescopic or a nemesis mod doesn't really bother me, I'd rather just get something good either way.

EDIT: Also to the other guy... Have you never heard of people selling used items for less than face value? No? I feel bad for you. Who's to say someone isn't willing to get rid of it just because they got something better and just want to get rid of the other one as soon as possible, in turn dropping the price drastically? Come on now man...

I don't use it much anymore (got into DNA bottom feeders), but I liked the K100 from FT. I even had the kick tube for it. Used it primarily is 18350 or 500 mode.... Still have it, and the finish has never changed since day 1... used it daily for 5+ months.

Well, I'm confused as well. Were you wanting 2 mechs? A Nemi and a telescopic? Or just one?

Yeah, sorry, I don't think you'll find an authentic, even beat to heck for $30.

Google best mech mods from fasttech and I'm sure you'll find a recommendation for the best Nemi to buy from them. I would think SS, brass or copper will last better on the finish than a colored, plated one. Especially SS as brass and copper patina.

I can't recommend a telescopic as they drive me buggy to set up.

If you are willing to spend a few more bucks you can get into a authentic Super-T Workhorse telescopic for $60. You'll be hard pressed to find a better built mod at just about any price. At $60 it's a ridiculous deal.

I don't use it much any more but about six months ago I really used my Brass Nemesis a lot, the Nemesis is a good choice IMO because it's almost infinitely upgradeable with hybrid adapters and magnetic switch upgrades, you can even purchase individual full 18650 body tubes for it in different colors if you so wish. I've been an avid Fasttech user for a while now, so perhaps I can help.

This is the Nemesis I purchased and used for months without issue - $19.79 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - brass version at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

You should also order these at the same time IMO - $2.40 Switch Magnets for Nemesis Mod (10-Pack) 10-pack - 13mm*9mm*1.0mm(OD*ID*Thickness) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The only real issue with Fasttech is that every now and then a supplier for an item changes and something that has a lot of great reviews can end up showing up and being not so good, that is why I find it is important to always read the most up to date discussions and reviews on an item you're thinking about purchasing from Fasttech.
