I got the chi-you clone from fasttech and was pleasantly surprised. If someone had told me it was a $100 mod i wouldn't have argued. Very sturdy, looks great, works wonderfully, and i love that i can flush mount my attys. The only gripe i have is the lock ring is skinny and isn't reverse threaded so i find myself unscrewing the button when i try to lock it but for $28 shipped, this thing could be made out of styrofoam and it would still be a fantastic mod at an outstanding price.
I've got both. They are great! The wider atomizers like the Ithaka or Odysseus look better on the Chi-You. The RSST for example looks great on the Nemesis. The only thing I don't like from the Nemesis is the quirky switch, but ordered some magnets to replace the spring. That should take care of that.
So order both! ;o)
Tip: Don't put everything you buy in one shipment. Postal service from China is far from reliable. Some orders take three weeks, some twice as much, some even more... They will arrive. But you have to be patience. So when you buy both, put them in seperate orders.

Love my Hcigar 2 tone Nemesis clone. Great machining. Haven't had no quirky switch, did you tighten down the switch post with some pliers? Heard some were shipped loose. Also read on facebook, that some were shipped with a spare spring inside the switch, once removed quirk disappeared. Can't go wrong with the Nemi clone. I also got in a buy on the FB site for the magnet upgrade but haven't had any switch issues since I tighten the post down.
Edit: Just opened up the switch housing, and there is a smaller spring inside the lager spring, took it out and has a much smoother throw now. Real smooth!! A ten second fix, just be careful not to lose the small locking key pin that keeps the insulator from spinning.

Thanx! Took a better look at the switch and took out the little spring. Better indeed. But I also noticed I had the center pin in the button screwed out a lot. I had to do this to make contact with the 18350 flat-top. When I put in a slightly taller button-top I can screw the center pin further in, which makes it even smoother. Problem solved!
But buy them both anyway! ;o)

No prob, did you remove the kick beauty ring? If you are not using a kick, the small 1/4" beauty ring must be removed, then the switch can be fully tightened, unless you get the extended positive contact post.
I have both from hcigar I didn't get them from fasttech. they're both are nice but I like the nemesis clone better for me the locking ring is easier to use I had to change the pin to get the battery to fit snug with a kick clone and the gold beauty ring
The clone must be shorter than the kick 2 by evolv. When I use the kick 2 it's a perfect fit in the Nemi. Also the 2 accepts builds from .5-3 ohms, puts out 15 watts and has a better power management and 2 grounding pins that virtually eliminate misfires that were common with the original and clones. A much better value IMHO!!
Get a nemesis if you have 22mm attys or a chi you for 23mm attys. My rsst looks awesome on the nemesis but the ithika I just got is wider, so I'll be getting a chi you as well.
I got my chi you here about half a year ago: Chi You - Stainless Steel E-Cigarette Mod - E-Cigarette Mod | High Quality and Affordable E-Cigarette Online Shop
It's really a nice one. Love the stainless feel.
I didn't choose this at the very beginning, but my friends introduced several types of stainless version, and this one definitely defeat others. It's on my priority list, lol.
