Got the nemesis a few hours ago. First impressions: love it. Hits hard, switch is smooth and it stands up without locking which is great. Finish and threads are impeccable. This is my first mech that will take a 18650 battery and even then it's shorter with the nimbus than my 350 poldiac with a ZAU.
Super happy to get it, will post some pics later.

Sometimes I hate ordering from AltSmoke...they tend to send packages the long way.

Lol Sorry man, that gave me a good laugh. I've been there in my computer building days. It used to drive me nuts. Well if anything, it's not altsmokes fault. It's their bonehead post office that made the mistake, unless it was altsmoke that mixed addresses.

Technically its 3 mods, because you get the rebuild atty, carto, and 510 connection.

Never mind, only 1 switch....

You do get 3 mods you just can't use all three simultaneously lol.

$600 is not that much for what you get (IN MY OPINION).

This is what you get (you get the wooden "Zen" signature stand as well):

EDIT: I think I'm gonna just buy the Z2 Carto Hybrid and a Z2 DX-490

EDIT #2: I'm surprised that so many people in here don't like genesis style hybrids/RBAs. Mechanical mods really shine when used with sub-ohm Genesis RBAs.

I was excited until I saw the ribbing on the tubes and found out that there is no button locking. I'm gonna have to pass this launch and wait for the reviews. I'm really intrigued by the carto hybrid though, enough where I might be tempted, but I want to know how it performs first. I'm more interested with the Ihybrid LE on saturday and GP paps friday. Plus from what I heard, Zen will be trying to get more of his products out more frequently now, so it won't be as difficult as before to pick one up.

Personally, I love RBAs and Genesis attys, but wasn't as thrilled as I hoped with my ZAU or Zen. They were too airy for me, I tried to love it but failed. Hopefully while Zen is in Atlanta next month he will bring along some goodies to share. I'm willing to try the Zen 2 but I don't want to get my hopes up.

Aren't you paying for a Serial number, gold caps and a wooden stand.

1x 18650 Carto hybrid 199
1x 18490 Medius 239
1x 18350 DX 510 mod 110

$548 and now you have all three tubes, 3 switches, a 510 connector, a carto hybrid topper and a genny hybrid topper

So if you want a stand, serial and gold plated caps, it's a good deal. If you want a whole mess of zen setups, not so much.

I'm not concerned with the button not having a lock ring. I use my Hybrids and Genesis RBAs at home and when I vape my iHybrid I don't lock the button when I sit it down - it has NEVER fired while it was standing up without the button locked.

I can't understand why someone would not like Zen hybrids but they want an iHybrid LE.. The iHybrid LE's are the same price (or damn close to the same) as any Zenesis 2 hybrid and the Zenesis hybrids are MUCH higher quality than iHybrids are (I own an iHybrid - they're good PVs but they are cheaply made compared to Zen and other high-end hybrid/genesis RBA products.

But, to each his own. We can agree to disagree :)

Hmm.. Every RBA and Hybrid I have ever tried has been just as "airy" as my Z-Atty. I never understood why the "airyness" matters.. If you're getting a good vape, the airyness is irrelevant, IMO.

Ya, I decided I'm gonna just buy a DX-490 (18490 w/ 510 connection) and a Z2 Carto Hybrid (18650).
