Idaho you are correct in so many ways on the nemesis. Just received one today and I'm not impressed at all. The switch is awful and it just doesn't look high quality. Looks like someone built it in there garage with a steak knife. I'm not even going to bother setting it up.

Why do people rave about this mod?

I kinda wonder if at some point later in production the quality took a hit. Or Maybe I have cheap tastes. One of keeper mods.

Will say though, I much prefer the finish job vape N Shine did on mine over the stock Matte.

I think quality control is lacking. And VR really does not want my business either.

I know for a fact they can produce fantastic finishes. I am truly surprised they haven't addressed at least that. I professionally gave them my personal thoughts and review. I went ignored. I then posted it on the thread....nothing.
I now feel they don't care and feel it's about money to them. I have had 2 Greek modders agree and were surprised they produced this workmanship. Now many feel the same.
Much like an auto, if it drives nice but looks like I stole it from a tweaker, I won't drive it.
I wish them the best in their road to riches.
I would of gladly paid another 50-75 for better detail.

Changeling arrived today. It's pretty great. Combined with the Paps and it is everything I was hoping the Zenesis2 would be. Doats, you sound like you feel about the Nem the way I do about the Zen2.

Here's a shot of the Changeling/Paps hybrid in 350 mode. Stands about 3.75 inches tall (not including the drip tip)

I actually LOVE the Nemesis firing mechanism. The switch-action is rock solid and the throw is short. There is zero play. When pressed it makes a satisfying 'click'. Some other high-end mods have pretty wiggly loose buttons/switches and the "center post" of the switch is really thin and flimsy with no tactile feedback. Thats a major deal breaker for me.

Horses for courses of course. Gokus, have you tried a Dingo? If yes, how does the switch compare to Nem? My fav mod is the Poldiac but I like the Dingo second. The Dingo switch reminds me of how you are describing the Nem. Wondering how similar they are.

I still love Poldiac the best though. The button feels like its floating, looks are outstanding, etc., etc. I could go on and on about that mod.

So I'm looking at getting into the low end of high end mechs. I looked at the Z2 DX, pricing is right but I'm hearing more complaints about it than good things. What other easily obtainable mechs can I consider? I have a Kayfun Lite sitting in customs (grrr) that will have to sit on a K100 or 19b until I can find a nicer home for it.

GP Paps 2.5 SS. It's only 18350 unless you buy extra tubes which gets pricey fast. It looks a bit plain and unexciting until you get it, hold it and use it and love it! The button will spoil you for all others but it looks great with almost anything, especially your K-Lite and should be in stock soon at Domo Vapor Co for $146 shipped brand new. Otherwise you might try some of the pinnoy mods but they do not hold the resale value as well as european stuff and are rougher around the edges which is why they are lower end of high end.

I second the Paps. I wanted a Vela but after the Paps - what's the point? Cause there is a boat on it? Psh. Anyone watch the show Portlandia? "Put a bird on it". That's how I think of Velas now.

PS - I openly vote against the Z2. Way better choices out there. Ill take a Segelei 19 over a Z2. Tweak the 19 only a little bit and it will feel better, look better and hit better than Zenesis. The Z is worth less than a Segelei. That's right... I said it.

I love the Sirius II 3-Tone as much as my Paps series.

I also still am interested a bit, wish it was a tad smaller.
BUT, I am not impressed with the company name as Vape Art, neither is VapourArt. From what I am gathering from the better Greek modders, they are growing tired of thier own people copying mods and names as much as the Chinese. Don't get Crazy Awesome Imeo started!
The tight modders in Greece are growing tighter and the copiers will be on their own.

Blasphemer... I'm telling Perseas you said that... LOL
Meh, it will just make him grumpy, at least wait until this shipment is out and he is closer to the beach lol :)
