If you have a Nemesis Clone please be sure to inspect the inside surface of the vent holes for burrs (under the locking ring from inside the tube). I inspected my battery and found that the coating had been worn enough to see a bit of the metal of the battery showing through. When I inspected the mod I found that they drilled the vent holes from the outside in and neglected to clean up some nasty burrs. I used a Dremel to clean them up and placed some electrical tape around the bottom just to be sure. I had the mod fire one time after the button was released (had to unscrew the mod) prompting me to inspect batteries more closely and found this dangerous situation. This could have ended badly with the burrs making the negative contact to the battery case. The damage to the battery was very hard to see, except in sunlight I could see a little bit of silver showing through.
