Help with Nemesis clone

[McScrotington]

I went back to the vape shop today and had to buy a new mod but they gave me a 20% discount. I looked at the Nemesis clones and there was one that looked different than all of the other Nemesis clones. I looked at it and it looks to be a much higher quality than the first one that I got. The engravings are deeper, it says "Atmomixani" on it, the connector pins appear to be higher quality, and the button has a much better action to it. This one feels like a high quality clone/legitimate Nemesis. Oddly enough, none of the brass pieces from my first clone fit on the clone that I just got. This, I believe, confirms my suspicions that the first mod was a very cheap clone and not an hcigar clone. All in all, I have a good mod now and I spent $50 to learn a valuable lesson. I also picked up a Patriot clone so I can start dripping. Head first or not at all I suppose!

Glad you new purchase worked out, and good luck with the new setup.

My $50 beginner's lesson is a drawer full of eGo batteries and clearomizers that I no longer even look at it.

I thought HCigar was also a Chinese manufacturer for clones?

Greetings, sorry to hear about your bad experience. Below is a picture of the box that my HC Nemesis clone came in, I've seen these same boxes pictured on the HC website.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear to that someone has 'cloned' the HC clone, trying to make a quick buck. As your results probably show, the result isn't pretty. My Nemesis clone is rock solid, and has withstood some abuse without any problem.

Mine came in a box with nemesis on it and not hcigar. It was a bit to do, as I got it from eBay. I interrogated the seller since the listing said it came with an hcigar box. (I initially asked a question about shipping since it said two different things) he assured me it was an actual hcigar, despite coming in a box that said nemesis. And that if it wasn't, I could send it back on his dime.

I still can't tell 100% if it is or isn't. Is there any sure fire way to tell?

My threads seem OK. I threaded in a protank and it seemed fine? I don't have my batteries yet to fire it.

Sorry to hear about your bad clone!

HCigar is a Chinese clone company but it appears that there are also counterfeit HCigar clones going around. The brass one that I bought the first time is not the same size in diameter as the new clone that I just got today.

If you want to fix it, two words: aluminum foil. Fixes everything. Use some electric tape for insulator. Do this only if you have some circuitry knowledge and are pretty good with your hands. And also handy. (har har, anyone got it? No? Ok...)

Seriously, i have fixed multiple vape things with tin foil, as well as provided some instructions for people to fix their mods with tin foil with all great results. One of them was a nemesis clone as well, actually.

101 Vape When it's in stock always great prices for most clones and shipping is stateside. I have the HCigar Nemmy and all it has is the train logo on the bottom and the "angel" on one side "nemesis" on the other and a random serial number under that. From what you explained sounds like its an HCigar. I haven't had any luck finding reasonably priced top cap replacements.

I got the (almost) exact same thing from 101Vape, my serial number is above the word Nemesis, in the HCigar box.
