What are you getting for a mech? I finally got a Maraxus clone, (beautiful, but my button is wonky), and a brass Nemesis Clone. I love my Nemesis. Every topper I put on it is awesome!

I found a turtle ship 2.0 stainless steel one for a VERY good price luckily over the weekend, a site was having a flash 72 hour sale, so I got off pretty lucky its a clone but It looks very cute on it. I was looking to get a Nemmy but I couldnt find good priced one.

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on a mod, because why not? I'm torn between a Magneto an a Nemesis clone. As far as I can tell from the multiple reviews and comments, the choice comes down to this:

1 - I'm a ..... for not getting a ProVari

2 - I'm a ..... for not getting a REO Grand

3 - The two I'm looking at are more or less interchangeable as far as performance goes. The Magneto has that awesome magnetic switch but no adjustable center pin; the Nemesis mods don't have the magnetic switch but do have an adjustable center pin.

4 - Price is comparable with a bit of shopping around.

5 - It really comes down to aesthetics and minor performance preferences, which is tough, because I don't know yet if i want an adjustable center pin or not.

Tough call.

Fenway... My son got one.. well another one.. but this one I actually like. It works well, stable, sturdy, but I can't remember what it is. I guess whatever it is, there are a couple versions and he seemed to want to stay away from the one. It is black and copper. I think either a Stingray or a Scorpion. I can get info later if you are interested.

I don't think there is any vapemail expected today but have a couple notices in my email that stuff is shipping today so must be patient a couple days.

ADD: Son said he would go with the Nemesis and the $5 magnetic switch upgrade and that his Stingray is one he lucked out on and got the right clone but a lot out there and several are garbage. He has one in a matte finish that doesn't show fingerprints

Magneto v2 has a Floating head and has less problems that the Nemesis, which I have heard has lots of little problems with the fire button but there are kits out there to change out the switch to magnets.

I have a Magneto and love it, simple, easy and looks good. Big selling point is it is NOT a finger print magnet.

your choice. good luck...

So I went to my local B&M to put hands on a couple of mods. I played a little dumb to see where he'd take me with it. All in all, he was ok - mentioned needing to understand ohms law and battery safety, showed a couple of hybrids and reasonably explained why they cost more up front but could be argued as a value purchase. He had a bunch of $100-200 level mods and hybrids that were meh, and one Magneto in stock, off to the side and looking forlorn, that he explained thusly:

"If you don't want to spend a lot on your first one, this is OK. It's simple and has a magnetic switch, which I guess is a cool factor thing. It's $79.00"

I'm on my phone, so I can't include the rolling on the floor laughing emoticon.....I get markup, especially on liquids, but COME ON. I have a 15% off coupon for that place based on liquid purchase volume; I still couldn't justify paying that much for a Magneto.


Sent from 4 Yawkey Way, where my heart will always reside.

The Turtleship is supposed to be very nice! There are so many gorgeous mods out there that it's hard to decide what to get next. I want them all!

I have a Nemesis clone with the magnets and love it. But it is a pain turning that locking ring every time I want to set it down. You can get stronger batteries I've heard so it won't fire on it's own in 18650 mode, but I don't have those. The hit I get from it is awesome!

Pulled the trigger. Got a Magneto V2, an IGO-W and a Kayfun V2 clone. That, plus two extra Efest 18650s all came to just over $110.

I love supporting B&M's, but......can't beat that kind of pricing. I don't need it five minutes ago.

You are going to be in vape heaven! Congratulations!
