Cool, thanks. That is one I hadn't considered.

Can't really go wrong with a Nemesis. I've never owned a XXIX/Surfrider, so can't comment on those. But the top post/adjustable switch screw on the Nemesis gives the GPin a run for it's money, I'll tell you that. And you can upgrade the switch to magnets.

Just got one delivered today, directly from Atmomixani, pics coming soon. The new CNC engraving is really, really nice. Plus, it's in stock right now.

Only real down side is there's tons of them out there, not sure if that matters to you or not. My serial number is in the 8000s.

GP still my favorite mods by far, but I seem to be running out of things to buy from Perseas, lol.

They're really great mods. And the customer service is top-notch (much like GP in that regard). For instance, I stripped the threads on the delrin insulator on my MCR Hybrid adapter. I emailed Liam to let him know, and he shipped me out TWO new insulators as well as two new switch insulators.....No charge!!

I think you'd be very happy with an MCR if you end up with one...

 

[dmska]

Looking forward to pics of the nemesis, and first impressions.

 

[jpcwon]

Here's a few pics of my MCR 101...the top pic is the polished copper nickel tube, and the bottom is brushed SS...

Edit: sorry, just saw you were looking for Nemesis pics...Sorry about that!

 

[dmska]

That is one clean mod. How's the button? Is that 18500 or 18650 mode?

 

[Todai]

MCRs nice mods for sure. Quick shot of the Nemesis, threw a KFL+ on for the picture, still need to clean it up since it just got here.

Thanks! Yeah the button is magnetic, and is smooth as butter. Very short throw, which I personally like.....I'd say the throw is less than 1mm, more like .5mm....contacts are Rhodium plated so you don't have to clean them as often. I only got 18500 tubes as the AW 18490 is my favorite battery.....The amp limit is generous for an 18490/18500 and I like the size....

Very nice, Todai!!

Nice pics all, thanks.

+1 for the MCR. Great mod. I just wish the hybrid adapter worked with my purple efest 18500s a I bought 4 of them and have no AW 18490s. Not yet at least.

Hey all, question please. I was looking for a new mech. Currently I have paps 2.5, v3, gus telescope and X. Considering a xxix, surfrider or nemesis. I want to change things up, the X is my favorite of the mechanicals that I currently own. Button and gpin are awesome. I like the feel of the X button, it's the one most comfortable to fire. Prefer nemesis for aesthetics but all input welcome. Any pluses/minuses to any of the ones I am looking at? Any input welcome, TIA.

I have a couple lux 2.5's, not quite as happy as I would like to be with them, parts availability and shipping from Greece is not great to say the least. I do love the feel throw off the button and in a tube mod I think that's paramount. .
I don't have a real nemi, but I can't see purchasing a mod for real money that hardly, if even outperforms it's twenty dollar Clone. No offense just my opinion.
I just ordered a XXIX, after my research and speaking with the owner, James, who is fantastic and available, and has any part you need, I think it's going to be the best, if you like a recessed switch, as far as quality, performance, looks, reliability and parts availability.
I think anything else would be hard pressed to give BCV a run for their money.

A real nemesis doesn't out perform a clone? Not trying to derail the thread, but one need only look at the plethora of nemmy clone issue threads on this site to understand that the authentic is far superior. I mean if voltage drop is your one performance criteria just sell everything but the xxix. I do not own a nemesis, but basically everyone I know does and I haven't heard of a single issue once the magnet upgrade is installed. On the other hand the guy at the local vape shop has gone through 4 copper nemesis clones in 6 months.

To the other guy looking for info on xxix vs. Nemmy. Either will be great. Get the magnet upgrade for the nemmy. If you decide to get the xxix make sure to clean the switch regularly. The circuit in that mod is completed by the outside of the button and the inside of the button housing so both surfaces need to be clean and patina free to work properly. That said you could just take others advice and get an mcr. Extremely high quality. Not as low voltage drop of xxix, but possibly the most high quality mech I've ever used.

I would agree the XXIX is a fantastic choice from the performance to the well crafted mod. I really dig the choice of alloys.
Personally, I wouldn't overlook the mcr. In fact, it would be my first choice of I were looking.

On another note, there is always Domovaporco the US GP reseller. Not sure why you need parts for a PAPS as I've never seen one in need. Owning more sets than should be allowed, I've never needed a part unless I did something stupid......again
Our buddy dmska and most are aware of Perseas's customer service and shipping, it can't be touched. No questions, no hype and a lifetime warranty most times without having to return parts to him. DHL anywhere in the world in 3/4 days is far better than most can deliver even within the US. Blake at Domo does the same for GP in less time if needed.
There are quite a few on this thread regularly that have seen or experienced it.
Promise, I am a fan of other mods, well knowing there are hard working great builders and have owned many to most. I have just settled in permanently with GP.
No contention intended
Cheers

My problem is that nobody said that gp is European it's not suited for sub ohm builds. I just discovered that @ 0.5 0hm, the first build I used, the button got hotter than I liked, lower obviously got hotter, and a fogger v4 @0.9ohm gets hot, the button I'm ref. To. I'm assuming n based upon feedback it's a bad spring or I ruined it by hitting it with too much power. Domo doesn't have any Springs BTW.
I promise, I want my new most expensive mod I own to be great but, I bought it anticipating running around 0.30ohm, which I heard from multiple people on forums that shouldn't be a problem, but it is I guess.
What's the lowest you run on a 2.5 switch? What do you recommend staying above?

 

[Todai]

I think chad posted that he runs pretty low on a Paps 2.5 switch with no issues, check a few pages
back.

Edit: here it is:

Usually about .35 is where I vape. Just saw your comment about a warm switch. At .35 it does not get warm.

But you are correct that 'officially' GP does not recommend it. The GP website has a warning about sub-ohm builds here: http://www.vapourart.com/en/page/terms-service

However, it's possible once you pop in a new spring you won't have a problem.

 

[Tbev]

Thanks for the warning lol, I'm just trying to decide if I'm going to give it a shot with a new spring or just sell it with the new spring and call it a day.

 

[StrikeIII]

That does really suck that your having issues with your Paps. I've been running .4 dual 26g on my V3 and X with no heat issues. Button doesn't even get warm well maybe if I'm really chain vaping but it's not even close to be hot. Are you running it in 18650 with good batteries? I know people's mileage may very it just sucks that your even getting a hot button with a .9 build which just doesn't sound right or normal and think that there really is something wrong. I hope you can get it sorted out.

I'm running my Heron at .8 single 26g coil on 18500 with no issues a well.
