Top fully secured - Looks like the Tube might be able to be sanded shorter, similar to correcting the cap on first AGA-T's to allow further rotation.

Ahh I see. When you said 30* I thought it was like a full third of a right angle off. That would be pretty ugly looking haha.

I'm sorry you're not very happy with your Chemisis. Let us know if you end up fixing some of the problems.

As far as Performance I am so much more than satisfied. I think that is what makes the esthetics so much worse.
Like having the fastest car in town and it looking like it was drug out of a cow pasture after rusting for 35 years

1) Shorten tube to rotate air flow control into place - just have to figure the best no machinist tools way.
2) Dedicate 1 Kick for this unit only - Sand down to fit and hope not to ruin the Kick in the process.

Only other Tube/kick option is Bore out. Probably more costly than the mod.

Ouestion - Is everyone else Nemesis clone Tubes heavily stepped?
These are Very thick, as in an Efest snugly slips in. Very snugly but not tight. An Ultrafire 18650(test only) gets stuck in the Bore.

I don't understand your problem. The airflow control isn't in line with the logo. Is that the problem? Even on a real Nemesis it's not in line. Here's a picture from Atmomixani's shop

Yea, I have spent the last few hours poking around and examining pic of Originals. Seems more and more Newer releases have Matched Caps with the air holes centered over the logo. Not so with earlier releases.
Guess China figured if it didn't matter to him, they wouldn't worry either.

So now I'm down to reworking a Kick to fit. I'm sure I can manage this on my own.

Also need to address the bottom contact backing out. Don't want to loctite anything in place. After all adjustable means can move.

Last - Locating switch magnets. Found them on Ebay at midnight, but decided to order in the a.m. - ZAP 18 sets GONE

and FT started shipping the brass ones.

with the air control lining up, it also depends on what configuration you have it in. If it lines up in 18350 mode it probly won't in 500 or 650 mode because of the extra tube.

I think you would be surprised. Mine is almost in the identical same spot with each added extension and if I remove the upper polished ring. Seems the extension calculations are fairly accurate. Adjustable upper and lower pins may have come into play in the lengths.
I did notice 18650(panasonic) no kick leaves a lot of gap to fill.

My air holes are about 180* from the logo and directly over the name and number. I never thought they were supposed to line up with anything, so I never thought to look before.

With my CGR18650CH Panasonic batteries and a nimbus clone on top, top pin adjusted so the atty is flush, bottom button pin tightened down as far as it will go, no kick ring, everything fits together with the only gap being for button movement.

I've added a layer of heat shrink to my Panny's because of the exposed negative end was an issue with my K100 button, and it is snug inside the Nemesis clone, but a little tap and it pops out fine. I actually prefer that to the battery falling out every time I take the button off. No comment on the fit of the Kick. I don't use one, but I'll follow your posts and make note of what you come up with for future reference.

Definitely a bit of getting used to. Keeping it in 18350 for now while waiting for n-r-n wire to set up a Hercules Ithaka I just received.

I have used it for most of the evening and am impressed with its output. Especially once I realized I actually had a 2.5ohm coil running on top. Delivers much better than any of my other Mech mods and most have been tweaked.

Will post on how getting the Kick to fit works out.

ETA - Are you referring to the thin polished ring? If so, why does everyone call that one the kick ring? It is only 1/2 the height of the kick.
I thought the shorter extension was for the kick with 18350 or 18650.

I think the kick is 15 mm, so I think you are correct about the shorter extension, I have neither the shorter extension nor the polished ring on mine in 18650 setup.

I have no idea if that's standard or correct. I do know that is the shortest setup I have found for an 18650, and I don't have any screws backing out because they are all tightened down in this setup. One of the beauties of this thing is you can set it up in so many different ways.

It's pretty sweet to have 2.5 ohm coil rocking on a straight mechanical too. That doesn't suck.

The shorter extension is for a 18500 battery, not the kick!
The kick is 15-17mm, so if it won't fit right, let's say in the 18650+kick configuration (main tube + both extension), then you need the little extension - the kick ring.
This is the only purpose for the kick ring!

I believe you misunderstand. Short ring 18500 would also give the same length as 18350 + Kick. This is a standard in setup in most tube mods. We were discussing the thin ring that sits under the top cap.
Perhaps this is added to allow pin adjustment while using the kick configuration. Many mods do not have Dual adjustable Pins.

ETA - Re-reading your post, I think you 1/2 understand. Yes, the little ring allows for extended fit, but yes the short extension will work for 18350/kick as well as 18500.

*This is based on my understanding of the design. I do not own a Nemesis or clone*

The kick ring is a little extension tube designed for you to use the kick with the nemesis in various configurations. In reality, as long as your battery is making contact with both posts, how you have it configured doesn't really matter.

I believe the kick ring is primarily for using larger configurations (18650 and sometimes 18500) with the kick. For smaller configurations (18350 and sometimes 18500) you just use one tube size longer than you would use for the same battery without the Kick.

I use the kick ring with the 18650 tube and an extended top pin because I like the looks of the kick ring in the center

What 1w15h1w45m0ngu said.

The kick is 15-17mm in height. They're not all the same, like batteries. For example, 2 AW IMR 18650 batteries could be 65mm and 66mm in height. Or 2 AW IMR 18350 could be 34mm and 36mm in height. The little kick ring is there to accommodate for this difference if the batteries are longer or if the kick is longer then the specifications of them.

In short: If you can put a battery and a kick in the nemesis, great! If you need 2mm more room, then you screw on the little kick ring.

EDIT: BTW If you haven't noticed, I'm talking about the little polished ring that 'sits' under the top cap - the kick ring. You can take that off.

Yea, got it the first time. Misnamed but fitting. Basically the compensation ring for Topper/Battery variables.
Kick ring does sound better though


Now - My Neme Adventure
2 Words - Holy Hanna!

Spent about 15 minutes filing/fitting my Sigelei-K to get an Oh So Tight Fit.
<looks like the 2 boards are off center from each other - Chi-QC>
Pulled out the Hercules Ithaka Clone I received Monday and threw in a cheap FT N-R-N pre-made wick/coil
Single coil 1.8ohm(nope 2.5ohm, once again chi-QC) and placed a 3mm blank wick across in the second channel, X pattern.

Running the Neme/Cheme(?) with Efest 18350, Sigelei-K around 8 watts, 18500 extension and Kick Ring
Vaping a 50/50 DIY Milk Chocolate Toffee Cappuccino at 12mg.

With all my tinkering in the past year with every clearo/carto tank, AGA-T's, RSST and rebuildable dripping attys.......
I NEVER would have imagined how Nice this setup Vapes.

 

[chaze]

I use the shiny extender/compensation/kick ring to allow for a fuse. 18350 plus vapesafe fuse...

 

[pmar4015]

Not sure if this is an issue isolated to the item I received (incidentally, I have the HCIGAR version), but the tubes I received are quite sharp at their respective ends.

Can anyone provide instructions as to how to go about rounding out the ends (perhaps a Dremel - if so, what attachment is most appropriate?)



Much appreciated and my fingers thank you in advance

 

[crxess]

If you must, not recommended, place a sheet of 400 wet/dry sand paper on a flat surface and work the ends in a circular motion.
This will shave the sharp edges without causing significant visual damage. This can also damage thread ends so go slow and check fit.
