Hcigar nemi clone.... where?

[Weedity]

Okay, I think I understand that now. Thanks guys!

Also, what batteries do you guys use? Do you sub-ohm with the nemi clone?

I was wondering if a battery like this would be good enough, especially if I were to dip into sub-ohming when I am comfortable enough:

You really can't go wrong with the Sony VTC4/VTC5 batteries either.

Okay plus I ordered mine from fasttech, but I noticed they are in China and will take up to an entire month to get here. I am a very impatient man, so I was wondering if their are other USA sites that sell this clone and with the same quality? Or should I just stick with the fasttech and be patient?

I'm happy with the one I got from Elite Vapor Works.

Elite Vaporworks Hcigar Nemesis Clone - Advanced Personal Vaporizers

Nice folks. I go by their store whenever I'm in St. Louis. They also do pretty good juice and wholesale it to a lot of other vendors around the country.

ETA: I am not associated with Elite, just a happy customer. It's one of several shops I've found that has a good, comfortable vibe when you go there.

Seems good, although it is 20 dollars more but I expected as much.

One thing I noticed is if you look at the fasttech one on the very top of the mod it has two holes drilled in it looks like while this elite vapor one does not have those holes which I assume is to allow battery gasses to escape if need be?

Vents to allow air into the 510 connector. It's also an air flow control, you can adjust the amount of air. Good for atties that pull the air up from the bottom.

The Hcigar (the one Elite sells) has those.

If your looking for an HCigar Nemesis, here is where I bought my HCigar Caravele from:


The Nemesis in brushed stainless sells for $38.50 with free shipping from California (looks like the stainless / brass 2-tone Nemesis is sold out)

I see it's also available in copper for $49.75

The HCigar clones are very good quality!

Disclaimer ... I am not associated with this seller at all, but the Caravela clone I bought from him was very good:

BTW ... Here is my HCigar Caravela clone (shown above) sold by the same seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HCigar-Cara...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item19e8348719

I also installed 'FatDaddy' fire button magnets (great upgrade! ) and an Evolv 'Kick 1' VW module in mine.

I would suggest that if your going to buy a tube-type mechanical mod, that you invest in a VV or VW module to install in it. These modules are sold my Evolv (US made) and a couple of Chinese companies.

At least with a module installed, you can adjust your voltage / watts to the particular ohm coil your using. Without the module, your battery is going to give you 3.7 volts even though your particular coil may either need more or less ... So, it's a great little modification for a fixed voltage battery setup like these tube mods.

Just a thought ...
_____________________________

And not only that, but a freshly charged battery will give you about 4.1 volts initially, then stabilize down to about 3.7 volts ... and as it discharges, it will start dropping well below 3.7 volts.

The module will keep the voltage constant all the time (until it finally shuts down at a certain point when the battery needs to be charged) .... Also these modules will provide short-circuit protection for you which is a good safety feature.

Well I canceled the fasttech order and will try out this ebay one since it's the cheaper of the American sites I have seen! I'll have my nemi clone by April 1st! The same day that my fasttech clone was just going to finally get shipped....

 

[Flt Simulation]

Enjoy ...

I believe these HCigar clones are all 22mm in diameter. I would look for an atomizer that is also 22mm in diameter (looks much better that way)

BTW ... The Kayfun Lite clones (and the Kayfun authentic) are also 22mm in diameter. Also the brushed finish on the Kayfun will match the brushed finish on the HCigar tubes.

I'm getting a Patriot clone with this HCigar nemesis clone!

Question is, this ebay order is it actually a legit HCigar clone? I saw a thread saying that some of these might not be authentic HCigars because the boxes don't seem the same? Could these possibly be of less quality? That'd be a shame...

 

[Flt Simulation]

My Caravela I ordered from this ebay seller was authentic HCigar.

I don't think you have to worry at all about getting a clone of a clone from the seller.

 

[Weedity]

Haha well good I am relieved to hear that! Now all I need to do is understand all there is to know about mods and wrapping coils and all that jazz by April 1st! Been studying but still learning

BTW ... The threads on my Caravela tubes are very smooth. Since the Nemesis and the Caravela are both made by HCigar, I would think that the threads on the Nemesis will also be nicely cut.

My hcigar nemie has the better switch but my FT nemie has better tube threading. Hcigar tube has more lateral movement so tube can have a ridge exposed after tightening. I use fingers to hold tube in alignment when tightening. Alls peeps care about is smooth threading. What better way to have smooth threading than to make thead clearances loose as a goose. BTW, I like squeaky tight threads and tight switches; like 0.002" clearance. Mix and matching switches and extensions is spotty; seems no rhyme or reason what fits what nemie.

Its been a pita screwing and unscrewing the bottom cap in my 101vape hcigar nemesis. I just twist and twist and it barely goes anywhere, so it ends up loosening the connector pin and the mod has pocket fired twice on me. If i keep using the same batteries, i guess i should be alright but every time i put different size batteries, and need to unscrew the bottom cap a bit or screw it tighter, i am really scared. Is there a solution ? I am new to mech mods.

My fasttech nemesis has another problem, the diameter of the inner tubes are not big enough and the batteries barely fit, and they have torn the plastic coating of my batteries when i try to force them in or out. Are the batteries dngerous to use now ?

I am beginning to think i shouldve stuck with my svd and vamo.

Unrelated question, my 0.6 ohm build will not fire with a fasttech kick ? Is this normal ? Do kicks not work with sub ohm builds ?

Make sure vent holes are deburred inside tube.

Snug silver plated firing pin in switch housing so it doesn't go loose.

Torn batt insulation can cause autofire if batt ground can contact tube.

Adjust the contact pin on the switch. I have to change mine when I switch from one brand of battery to another. It takes a little fiddling, but once you get the hang of it you can generally get a good fit and short throw with a couple of adjustments.

Could definitely cause an unintentional firing issue. Check for burrs or metal left by the machining processes. Should be able to smooth it out with some emery paper.

Depends on the kick, but I'd guess many of them won't fire below about 1.2 ohms.
