Hcigar Nemesis Mod Quick Review

[CraigTime]

So far I have a love/hate relationship with this mod... The build quality, threading, aesthetics and finish are all awesome. The logos are sweet and the air control works (off and on anyways). The adjustable center pin is easy to turn with no tools. It's ability to take multiple battery sizes is great. I don't mind telescoping mods but I love that this is just one tube (sort of) only broken by one seam and a beautiful polished beauty ring. It works flawlessly with the kick 2 even with an 18650! I have measured the voltage drop with an inline meter and I was seeing a drop of .2 on a 1 ohm coil!
Here are my gripes about it. The LOCK! It is always getting "locked" and you can't spin it. Nothing I have tried so far has made any difference: brass wire wheel, wd-40 or Vaseline. I just read someone used toothpaste on a different mods threads and that worked. We'll see... If the lock was better I would give this 5 stars easy!
Now the switch. It's too complicated. There is too much adjusting involved to get it working right. It works ok but the switch on the chi you clone for example works better. I ordered the way overpriced magnets for the switch from Greece hoping that will fix the issues with it.
Overall I'm super-happy with my purchase and would buy again.

Try being very gentle with the ring when spinning it. I have both the real Nemesis and the Chemesis, and they are both the same. If you clamp down on the ring it won't turn. Hope this helps. It's a really nice rendition.

On that same note. Why can't we just call these chinese copies "Tribute versions"? You know, just like the knock-off bands who try to mimick the real thing?

... But there is already a word that perfectly describes these china mods... Counterfeit.

And "Economical".

And "Economical".

I would agree. To many people are getting upset about these clones...Im not because unlike most the people upset about the clones, I dont have 200$ to throw away on a tube of steel with brass screw (essentially all it is)

Thank you for the quick review.
I have one ordered to go with an Ithaka Tank. I also hope to do the Magnetic conversion, but will look a while for some magnets locally. Having a hard time justifying $10 plus shipping for $.60-$1 worth of magnets.

Have You found another source, for the magnets...?

I recently received the Hcigar 2 tone Nemesis clone, and simply love it. Everything works smooth and flawlessly. Don't understand your problem with the switch, nothing complicated about it. Do know that it does need to be tightened down or the pin can back out. Just remove the switch assembly from the tube, push the insulator down and tighten the pin down with needle nose pliers. This is a great mech mod and love using it with the kick 2. Have never had a problem with the lock, it spins nice and smooth. Some times so smooth and fast it does get tight, but as mentioned, a light grip makes it easier to turn. Brass is soft so if one grips tightly you end up pinching the threads and it feels way tight, loosen grip and turns much easier.

I'm glad you like it. Hopefully my review was helpful for you.
