Someone posted on FT forum that the Chemesis they received had no engravings on it. Has anyone experienced anything like it before?

yea i tightened everything up from the top down and the firing button doesn't sit flush. the button is also pretty crunchy and hard to press. thinking i should get the magnet upgrade...
Frankly, I'd love mine to come without any engravings. Or at the very least ... no bottom switch trademarks.
I am going to get the magnet upgrade as well but most of what is crunching is not the springs. I sanded with 1500 grit wet/ dry sand paper the inner brass part of the switch and the outer SS shaft of the switch. Then used a dermal tool with a felt buffing wheel I ground down so it would fit inside the brass piece and some rubbing compound and polished both pieces to a nice mirror finish. I then put some gun oil on a q-tip and lightly brushed the inside of the brass and outside of the stainless steel. Put everything back together and it's silky smooth.
Yea I get a little obsessed when I want and end result, but I got the result I wanted. Besides it was driving me nuts every time I depressed the switch and felt that grinding/crunching so I made sure when I was done it would never have it again

Just ordered a Nemesis and kayfun from FT. Honestly, I'd feel a lot worse about these clones if the originals weren't perpetually out of stock. The existence of the clones obviously isn't hurting the OEM manufacturers. There'll always be those people that are willing to pay 5 times as much for some kind of bragging rights.

Ok I figured out it was the spring. It's crooked as hell! It's a little bit better by bending the spring.

this dude on FB is doing a pre-order on one that has a polished finish to it. not an h-cigar one and apparently the pins are not silver plated
Not what I was getting at, but Ok. LoL. Sucks that I missed the opportunity to pay almost 10 times as much for the "real thing".
Cool going to polish this baby. Glad FT sent this one instead of cyc it's a great mod. Anyone got a pic of one fully polished

dont know if its gonna show. the co-op I mentioned comes at $33 shipped. thats were the pic comes from
Total Disappointment
Latest FT shipment - Neme Clones
Top cap air ring misalignment 30* off to right
Bore no longer accepts Kick
i.e. Sigelei-K is smaller than Evolve and will NOT fit Kick ring or 18650 tube for 18500/kick use.
If these are still Hcigar - QC has been replaced by increased production/Greed.
Main Tube could be shaved to align and Bored to fit kick, but cost is completely prohibitive.
I do suppose it was worth the $30 spent. I at least now know I need to save and plan to purchase an Original.
As to function - 9/10(due to kick issue)
Easy to set up
Easy to reconfigure
Great feel in hand
Excellent conductivity, even in 18350 mode it runs my 1.4ohm RSST and sizzles a 1.9ohm T3-mini(lol)

Hate to hear that. Not to be callous, but I hope that yours is an isolated case. It sucks that you got a bad one, but until I see another report of similar problems I think we should write it up to a bad unit.
Any chance you could post a picture of this or describe it in a little more detail?
On ft forum i found completely opposite review:
Obviously it is just famous Chinese quality control....
