I can't speak for the Nemesis because I don't own one but next month I think I'm going to buy the Nemesis copper clone. I have two kfl clones, a Tobeco and an Hcigar. They both work well. The Tobeco is the kfl+ which means that it has adjustable airflow. My Hcigar has no adjustment for airflow but I feel like it's draw is better than the Tobeco.

The most important thing is to give yourself some time to experiment with the kfl clone. You probably won't like your first build but after you've done it a few times you'll like the performance. The great thing is that the kfl is super easy to build on. If you spend some time on YouTube you can learn everything you need.

I don't have the Nemesis but have looked at them and know others that have them. The ones I have seen etc. seem good. FYI they make a hybrid kit for the kayfun nemesis combination. I have 4 diff brands of kayfun clone. THe best is a lite that has 4 not 2 juice slots. It's not the aqua but a kayfun lite plus. Best build so far was 2.5mm ekowool dual coil 1.8 ohms total the wicks were only long enough to go to the bottom of the two side of it with a slight bend. But i did a single coil on the one that has the 4 juice slots that is really good. used 30ga a 6/5 wrap on 2.5mm ekowool. Enough wick so it made it to the bottom of the two trays but not all over the bottom. I found it better not to crowd the wick there as you will get dry hits.

It's very much a hit & miss. Both designs are kind of bullet proof IF they manufactured them right. Most problems with nemesis clones (also sometimes on the original) is a crunchy button. Could be bad springs in some cases, but mostly I think it's bad machining (marks). Magnets and/or mild wet sanding can make it better. Also found that the silver plated contacts can be bad on some. Sanding them down to the brass actually made it better.... (at least for me). Problems with the kayfun clones seems to be leaking through the airhole issues mostly. Make sure it's completely air tight. Especially where the chimney top meets the o-ring in the top cap.

I can't speak on the Nemesis because I don't have one, although the rose Copper version is looking more appealing to me since EHpro has released a rose copper Kayfun lite. :D ... Across the board the KFL and Nemmy are very popular set ups, but that is not to say that both may not have some draw backs.

Some KFL's suffer from whistling air flow (plus versions), and leaky fill ports, and some Nemmy clones have crunchy switches from what I hear ... No idea which KFL you ordered, but I am in love with mine because it vapes amazingly, and does not suffer from the issues mentioned above (standard air flow w/o control).

There isn't a Turtle V3 clone yet, so you must be referring to the V2, which is a great mech, if you buy the right one (some makes have issues). And the Caravela's ... well, there are several versions (clone), so again it depends on which one you are talking about.
