So I'm going to do an order on fasttech this week and I'm torn between 3 mods that I really want. It's been the Chi You, Nemesis, and Caravela clones. I love them all and looking at the reviews they all seem to have their own pros and cons, but I'm curious what you guys think and any opinions that may help me narrow it down to 1.

Thanks!

Nemesis. I have a nemesis and a caravela clone. I can't speak to the chi clone. I love both of them, but the nemesis is just a beautiful device. The caravela is a bit heavier and feels more... Substantial, which I like. But, the nemy is so slick, especially with the magnet switch. Another big difference... The nemy that I bought came with tubes for all batteries. The caravela is 18650 only. So, the nemy is more flexible.

Chi You - to many variations - pick wrong and get a Lemon

Caravela, Nice mod - Why no Brass top ring?

Nemesis SS and Brass are both every nice to excellent - Depending of individual switches

I seem to have gotten stuck on the Nemesis - Now have 4
Almost a shame FT doesn't carry the Sigelei 8w - latest revision is a extremely nice mod.

I'd order a nemmy from FT.
I have all of them. The SS, Brass and mixed.
They are all great, but I must say the brass one is cheaper, AND had the best button out of all of them.
While you're waiting the 15-600 days to recieve your nemmy from FT, treat yourself to one of these so you have something new to vape on by next week.

I own a Neme (the Hcigar clone from Vape Royalty and I'm sure it is much better quality than SlowTech....something to consider). I like it very much. SlowTech sells low end crap and it takes forever to ship.

Hope you don't purchase this information.
Try - IN MY OPINION - next time. Some of us happen to KNOW the FT Nemesis is an Excellent mod.
Now, assuming you will get a good or bad mod simply by the location of purchase is as smart as thinking all production pieces are identical. Take the time to read up and you will find not only have people complained about issues with FT but also with HCigar pieces.
We like to call it - Luck of the Draw.

Was my/your mod machined right after calibration or after many hours of production without re-calibration.:D

Did a comparison of the FT Nemmie and Chi in another thread. I'll just make a quick one here.

Chi tubes won't screw together properly without leaving a gap either at top or bottom. Chi engraving is uncomfortable to run fingers across. Nemmie has a more clever switch design. Chi is 23mm with protruding rings. Nemmie is 22mm all the way.

Between these two, my vote is for the Nemmie. I have no idea who made these clones, only that they are from FT. This info is not valid for all clones by all manufacturers. I'm sure there are better Chi clones and worse Nemmie clones out there. Also, as noted above... there may be some luck of the draw involved.

I thoroughly researched Neme clones before I purchased. It was overwhelming that the HCigar was the best Neme clone. sorry to disagree that all clones are alike.

Just to sweeten the pot. FT pricing. Better than FT cloning. US based shipping. I present the HCigar Nemesis Clone, for only $29.99. Only at 101vape: Nemesis Clone by Hcigar SS/Brass - 101 Vape

You missed the OUT of STOCK!
101 Vape is a US Leader in Pricing(not much else) But they are a ITEM OF THE MOMENT vender.
They offer pricing close to FT and well below other US venders, Push out single stocking Large orders and Deep discount the last of the inventory to avoid long term inventory tying up money.
a Good 80%-90% of Deep discount items are gone within an hour or two of posting and NOT restocked, or restocked at the higher price.

When will people realize - FASTTECH IS NOT A MANUFACTURER - They are a Vender, just like 101Vape......only they have grown much larger, have Vastly larger resources and place supply orders in the 10K unit per SKU range.
Fasttech does Not clone or make ANYTHING. They Sell product at very reasonable points, have a better Warranty than most(eating gloss) Refund return shipping(in USA) and offer FREE shipping on almost anything they sell.
