Nemesis clone, hands down. And it will dump on your Provari guaranteed.

^what he said.

Nemesis clone from fasttech all the way. adjustable centerpin/spring section, adjustable airflow, and looks amazing.
at about 30 bucks. great deal.


the k100 isn't a bad way to go though, probably be my second option. I own one and I love it, I use it everyday with a protank 2, 18500 battery and a kick2.

You heard right, Butters. I think it has problems beyond just that, but some Panasonic CGR18650CH's don't have the shrink wrap that extends around the edges of the negative terminal of the battery and those are the ones you'd have to avoid with the Chi clone. EHPro's EA clone has an issue with them too. The switch assembly is a bit high, and makes contact with the edge of the negative battery terminal when you drop the battery in. As soon as you screw the tube down enough to contact the positive terminal, that sucker starts firing and won't stop.

Some of these clones we're seeing are great, but you gotta mind your P's and Q's with them.

Good info, Thanks!

Does the nemesis clone have the same issue as well?

So approximately how long does an order from FT usually take?

Am I going to be waiting for a month? 2 months?

Usually ~8-12 days to Norway. I hear it's about the same to the US. However! There's a holiday coming up in China, so things will probably go slower than normal, and their mailing services are likely be clogged up for a couple of days once they're done celebrating.

I placed my order with FT on the 9th of September, it finally made it to HK post on the 17th of September, and just magically appeared in San Francisco on the 26th, so it should be at my door in another day or two. So, all told, a little over three weeks, but some of that may be due to the ramped up security at HK post.

FT has a post about it here:

Yup, I have a few items that I want to order, but I'm gonna wait until after the holidays, and hopefully things will get back to normal mid-October. Hopefully.

A Fasttech order is usually in the US within 3 days, it's the USPS that delays the item from getting to you more than anything. I usually recieve orders from Fasttech within 7-9 days. The kicker is the customs area where items can sit from 2-5 days with no movement at all.

Yea I've got an order out there but I have a feeling it's going to be like a month before I see it due to that holiday.

Wow ! Thanks for all the comments guys

I went out and bought a chi you clone
And it's sad but true, but I like mechanicals more then my provari now should of never tried a mech mod it hits way harder and I feel like I don't need to vape a ton

Got a .9 build on my kayfun lite

So now! I am trying to get a real nemesis
I won a football bet and got 300 to spend

So I'm looking for a nemesis v.w. or kalafan edition

Thanks guys ! For all your help

EHPRO EA Clone
Nemesis Clone
Sentinel M16 Brass Clone
Sigelei 8W

All of these are great and they have low voltage drops. If you go to calivapers and look under the mechanical mods section you will see someone actually setup a high end test rig and the Sigelei 8W/Nemesis Clone/Chi You Brass clone actually outperformed a lot if not all of the "HIGH END" mods like the real Chi You.
