Oh well, had to do it! Ordered the hcigar Nemesis from ebay and ordering magnets now from fatdaddy vapes along with the pins. With everything I've read I figured I just couldnt go wrong with the Nemesis, Vela is next! heh

Beware of metal burrs inside of the tube before putting a cell in it. Worked on mine a while with a file and sandpaper. Threads were also razor sharp so I took the edge off of them. Efest IMR 18650 barely fits mine, very tight. Button action.... looks great but not impressed.
My order of preference:
101vape hcigar SS nemy (needs post polish and mag; tightest switch clearances).
FT brass nemy (good to go out of box, wobble switch).
FT SS nemy(needs post polish and mag, wobble switch).
FT $18.50 SS nemy(needs post polish and mag, wobble switch, not standard M5 pin threads).
Focalecig 18350 ehpro vela (excellent switch, not much wobble, would rank higher if 18500).
FT 18350 bagua ( good switch; wobble switch; lost some point cuz not 18500).
FT Origin (switch is way too darn wobbly).
FT Brass tube vela (bad switch design (mag not possible)).
FT all SS vela (bad switch design(mag not possible)).

Dang TJ, you're not making this easy! I want that mod badly but want a Reo worse! Waiting for Rob to tell me the upgrades are done so I can order, should be later this week if I'm lucky.
that's what I was thinking! I'll just order the vela next payday haha
I ordered mine from eBay seller CodeVape. It was $36 so a tiny bit more expensive than 101vape, but free shipping so its still worth it.
Also, make sure you take the kick ring and center ring out or the battery won't make contact.

I have been on the fence about buying a Roller or Dingo for a couple of months now. I know I really want one, I just don't want to spend that kind of money on it. I keep hoping Hcigar or Ehpro will release a 1:1 clone so I can get one to try out without spending nearly $200.
Aight I have a noobular question. Out of all the Nemmys you have does one hit harder or have less voltage drop than the others? I got the magnets and extended pins from Fatdaddy and really liked my Nemmy after that. I just bought original Nemmy replacement contact pins from VapeRev and my Nemmy is even better with those. You can tell the difference in quality from the original pins to the Fatdaddys and from the Fatdaddys to the original replacements.
hmm I just ordered the pins and the magnets from fat daddy vapes... hopefully everything arrives at the same time hehe. I ordered teh SS Nemesis though... hopefully the performance is as good as the others out there.
A little late to the party, but I picked up an Hcigar Nemisis in stainless steel from Elite Vaporworks when I was in St. Louis last week. Really digging it!

I've logged several volt drop tests. All the clean nemmies have good results. The meter can pick up a 0.1 or 0.2 difference but blind fold testing they vape the same. The origin lost with 0.4volt drop at 0.6 ohms but it still vapes great at 0.5 ohms.
Even my SS M5 hot pins have good numbers.
Only time nemmy had bad number I cleaned switch and then produced a good number.
I'm vaping my brass tube FT vela so I measured volt drop.
No cleaning.
0.20v at 1.3 ohms w/ 20R 18650.

you sure aren't making it easy to NOT order a vela also right now! how does it do with no vents for the batts?
I think most mod vents are inadequate because they could easily get blocked w/ debris or batt swelling. Vela has a stealth bottom vent hole in switch assembly. Brass and copper tubes may be less likely to produce unhealthy shrapnel.
Nemmy is better design IMO. So I recommend buying 5 nemmies then start buying velas

lol what am I supposed to do with 5 nemmies? it's saying it might be here tomorrow so i better start figuring out what i need to clean it up... so far i was only thinking steel wool to clean it up a bit lol.
All my SS switch posts had machining marks which cause a crunchy switch.
To polish switch posts I use one M5-0.8 bolt, one M5 nut, 1/8" strip of 800 grit sand paper, 1/8" strip of 2000 grit sand paper, drill.
Attach button to M5 bolt/nut. Chuck in drill. Spin sand w/ 800 (approx) then final spin polish w/ 2000 (approx) grit.
Be careful not to spin quick and fling button across room.
I also added magnets, custom length pins, and shims. I delete anti-spin pin.
Oh, I drilled a stealth top vent passage.

I did order the stuff from fat daddy vapes so hopefully that cures some of the problems that everyone has had (or most everyone) upon delivery. the magnets might actually make it first... bummer lol
The problem I have w/ SS post and brass switch body is the rough SS post will not breakin to the soft brass body. It will likely accelerate brass body wear.
The brass on brass switch is fine because they breakin together.
