I thought the beauty ring was for just adding a fuse. The mod works fine without the ring but if you add a fuse the ring gives it enough space to work perfectly.
True. If you add a fuse you'll need the beauty ring to add length for it.
I always assumed that was the kick ring that's listed with it. Wouldn't the screw loosen as you use it it it's not tight?
The kick ring is the shorter of the 2 extensions that come with the Nemesis. Use it to kick a 18350. Use it and the longer extension to kick a 18650. To kick a 18500 you use just the longer extension.

The (generally black) plastic part of the switch gets snugged tight against the bottom of the battery. The rice pin is what lets you tighten down the switch. The threaded center pin gets screwed out to adjust for battery size. So everything is tight, there's nothing getting a chance to loosen.

You can shorten the throw by adding a piece of cardboard or rubber that's the appropriate thickness. It'll go on the threaded center pin of the switch, tucked tight against the head of the screw. Look across the plastic ring. As long as you cannot see the center pin your spacer is thin enough. If you see the pin, it's too thick. Be careful and listen to hear the mod auto firing when you first use a shim until you're sure it's not too thick.

If you've upgraded to magnets, you can shim those just like you shim the center pin. Adding shims will make the magnets be closer to each other as you close the switch so will increase the resistance. Too thick a shim will make the magnets touch which can cause an auto fire. Again be careful the first time you tighten down the switch to hear if it auto fires.

You are right but IMO it's kinda stupid, I think they should've add additional SS tube for the kick, I don't think most of us are using the kick, and the beauty ring is a very nice addition to the Nemesis design...

Anyway I ordered the extension pins (positive and negative) from Fat daddy so I could use the beauty ring without the kick...

Have to agree. First thing I did after magnets was getting an extended pin. All of my Nemeses that aren't in hybrid mode have the beauty ring. Just look much better that way.

You might want to look at the semi-hybrid adapter from FastTech for your new Nemesis. A couple of bucks and you get a nice clean looking mod. Basically you remove the top cap, screw a brass disc onto the 510 connector on the atomizer and then screw the disc into the top of the Nemesis. It's got 510 threads inside, 20x0.5 (Nemesis tube threads) on the outside.

Well, I skimmed through the thread and didn't read all of the responses but you made the right decision. I have the Fat Daddy kit in my Nemesis clone and it works great. Just install it and tighten everything up. Couldn't be easier and you get to keep your trim ring.

Just received my order from fatdaddy (upgrade kit with magnets and longer pins), I'm very happy with it, the button feels amazing, strong enough to hold it with battery and RDA without firing, and the pins are long enough to use flat top with beauty ring.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! you helped me and my nemesis a lot :)
