Same too you Bronze. Been a long time. (But you still ain't getting my HHV juice).
Just don't take any of mine.

Just don't take any of mine.
Love that Neme. Very nice device. Solidly built, smooth threads, and easy to look at (got the brass on SS model). Only issue is the fire button will bind if I don't push it in the center. I have been given tips and tricks from other Neme owners to solve it but haven't done them yet cuz Slim (who visits this thread from time to time) is sending me some magnets that is supposed to replace the spring. Not sure how it works but I'm sure Slim will walk me through it if necessary. I have not used my kayfun on the Neme yet. Just been fooling around with my Phoenix RBAs on it. Made 4, 28ga coils. Two at 0.9ohms and two at 1.0 ohms. It performs exactly as I expected....quick to produce vapor. That was my primary goal and it has passed successfully. I'll get to the Kayfun soon. But very happy with the Neme. One day I'll get to your 26ga. and I'll probably be knocking on your door.
might look into the nem myself. I need a new mech as my old omega is kind of worn. got the dna-20 tube mod but am having problems with that as well. it is so imperative to have a quality device imo. to me its either a nice mech or a provari. in have had a few vv devices in the past but imo the provari is still tops, they just last and never had one single issue with it. the other vv devices I had owned in the past just aren't reliable. I thought this dna-20 tube mod was going to be a provari killer but I was wrong, just in 2 weeks since I received it nothing but problems. well I have to return it for repairs so am out a couple of devices. I hate having enough back ups for things like this, down to my reo & vari for the time being. I have seen a lot mentioned as of late with replacements of insulators in the kayfuns, is this something that you have heard of wearing out?
$25 should include a goodnight kiss at least. It's an acrylic tube with M20x0.5 single point internal threads each end.
I haven't heard a lot on the insulators except when people damage them. And that is far and few between. Oneguy torched his wick while it was still attached to his Kayfun and cooked the insulator. I'm sure Svoemesto didn't intend that for his design.
I'm guessing others messed them up while fiddle farting with it.I'm with you on the Provari. It'll set you back a bit but it is as reliable as they come. Lasts and lasts and rarely gets funky. Performs the same way every time you fire it. Meanwhile, all these Chinese PVs go wonky and die quickly. I look at the Kayfun much the same way as my Provari. It's reliable and just keeps on going. I'm hoping I look at my Neme in the same way as time goes on. It''s starting off real well. BTW, I got my Neme at Vape Royalty. It's made by HCigar.
Too bad about your DNA. That has to be disappointing.
Vaperev has some nemesis's in stock today for $155.. I looked at it for awhile but decided against it. I really don't need another mech. I got the grand and rm2 and am totally in love with it! I've got a 1Ω coil in it. It won't replace my provaris and kfls though. The roller is in stock at atmizoo if you like a dreamy side button lol
donna, I'm not going to pretend that I know because I don't know. I'm guessing the Neme at VapeRev is the real deal...the genuine Nemesis. I got a clone from Vape Royalty by HCigar. I cannot speak to the differences between the genuine and the clone because I never owned the genuine. I've never been one for knockoffs, clones, or counterfeits. But I wasn't going to shell out $150 for a genuine Neme so I settled for the clone at $50. But I know a couple people who own both the genuine and the HCigar clone and neither of them can tell a difference. Again, I'm not saying that because I don't own the genuine. Just passing on what I've been told.
glad your liking the reo.we were just talking about reliable mods and the reo is definitely that for sure. I got my typical 26g at .6 to .7 in the rm-2 on a 1/16 diameter, the horizontal coil is slightly angled and is wrapped on all sides and bottom by the wicking material, the only part of the coil exposed is the slightly higher end, this coil performs about the best so far. glad you mentioned about the roller, I remember someone mentioning about a mech with a nice button and forgot which one it was. I love mechs but don't really like those bottom switches, that's why I sold my caravela. the omega that just quit on me was kind of cool, you just squeezed the tubes together to fire it. will look into the roller, thanks
Nemesis (HCigar) with basic Phoenix RBA on top. I'll get to the Kayfun soon.
Thanks TNT… As all of us do, I've been playing around with various builds trying to find a favorite, here's my latest…my first attempt at a ribbon coil. .5x1mm Kanthal and measured out at 1.6 ohms, can't tell if I like it yet…I just fired it up and breaking in and wicking perfectly with the thick Bobas.

Sharp looking rig imo. It's when the top is bigger than the bottom that I wouldn't be happy.

the ribbon looks nice. I used it a little in my genesis attys and found the TH to be a lot less then round, this was with traditional wraps and not micros so there might be a difference. not that it makes much of a difference but I like to angle the coil opposite then what you have, I just feel like if my wick tails were to get touched by the chamber as I screwed it down it wouldn't move the tails away from the sweet spot. with the position of your tails it may be possible that as you screw on your chamber it could possibly re position your tails away from were they are now. let us know how the ribbon performs after it breaks in for a while, thanks
Back on the insulators..
I grabbed my polished 3.1 from the classies from a very reputable member, but I think the juice he/she vaped settled in, or ate away at the insulators. I just kept getting a funky taste from it even after boiling the entire piece. (Minus the insulators of course ). It worked well for awhile, but came back. The insulators were discolored, so I figured they were due. I'm amazed at how much two plastic pieces are!
Anyways, it will mount my recently acquired Neme that I purchased directly from VapeRev, so it's authentic of course. I, too, could not explain the differences between the authentic one vs the clone as I don't purchase clones. I know there are some major differences in the engravings, as I've heard others discussing this before. I'm sure there are differences in the internals as well, but again, that's beyond my knowledge. I've spent a week with the Neme, and it is a nice mech. Did I need it? No, but I didn't need the entire GP line either.
Wait, yes I did!!

that's exactly it. this doesn't dramatically change the kayfun at all, it just allows more feed potential.
svoemesto I'm sure put a lot of R&D into this atty and I think it's an awesome design with awesome craftsmanship, but I also think the final design is calibrated to suit the masses. I'm sure if the juice delivery could have easily been made adjustable then they may have, but it isn't, it is a fixed orifice. mercedes builds an awesome vehicle but that doesn't mean that amg can't take that vehicle and make it better
enlarging these orifices is not much different from enlarging an air hole in an atty cap. stock it obviously isn't going to have a large air hole but if you vape at higher power then you simply need more air so the air hole is drilled larger.
svoemesto didn't calibrate this thing to feed enough fluid to reliably vape microcoils at 15-20 watts. if he did it would flood more easily for all of the general population that are vaping 7-11 watts. svoemesto designed this thing around a few wraps of light gauge wire wrapped around silica, not for LR 28 ga microcoils or microcoils at 5 and 6 volts. if svoemesto themselves were asked to calibrate this atty to the juice flow of a 20 watt vape guess what they would do to the design? first thing they would do would be to open up the juice channels
then perhaps the air flow too.nobody needs to hotrod there kayfun, it's not needed at all, but hotrodded it is better for me. right now this thing is working awesome for me, I'm thrilled with the vape I get from it
My Fasttech $21 Kayfun 3.1 counterfeit clone came today and it it spot on quality.
I have a Wizard Apprenticed Evolved coming in soon I hope this DNA20 mod is good, you're making me worry now.
Mine also arrived, the top cap threads are not the same as my R91. But nice looking so far. enjoying my 1st KLite right now.
Your right Divrr, the wicks do move slightly when the inner tube is installed, before priming the wicks I make the necessary slight adjustments before the chimney goes on...good catch, I will orient your way next time.
As far as the ribbon build goes...between the standard 1.5mm/28ga/1.2ohm cotton coil, the 1.5mm/28ga/1.2ohm cotton VERTICAL CARTO style coil and the 1.6ohm ribbon build...even early on the fresh ribbon build It's producing the best vape of the 3, great throat hit, slightly warmer, more vapor and flavor is better than the others, maybe the Bobas likes a slightly higher resistance coil, the Aspire coils I was using were 1.8ohm and produced a great flavor, I'll be taking a page out of the Aspire book on my next build...gonna basically copy their coil layout.
