Hi Guys,

Just got my nemesis any I'm unable to get it to fire. The battery keeps rattling inside and I can't figure out why. Pin is pulled out lock ring all the way up and still not firing. Sent lots of screenshots. Please help before I go nuts. I'm using a Sony VCT4 18650 battery with a flattop. Any help is appreciated.

You just have to keep adjusting until your battery is snug. Start with the very top first....screw on your tank and adjust your pin and then work your way down. Don't use the kick ring unless of course you're using a kick. You will get it just keep adjusting till all is snug& no more rattle. When I first got my nemesis I had the exact same issue.

Nemisis comes with the following parts.
1. Air control ring.

2. O ring inside the air control ring.

3. Top cap (has the 510 threads and a delrin ring where the center pin screws in).

4. Positive/Top center fire pin. This looks like a silver thumb screw which also has a flat headed screw driver slot in the smaller end. This screws into the top cap.

5. The main 5.2cm 18350 tube.

6. A locking ring that screws on the bottom of the main 18350 tube.

7. A bottom button assembly which includes:
a. The negative/bottom firing pin. Looks like a thumb screw.
b. Two springs and a key pin.
c. The button assembly threads with a black delrin ring attached.
d. The fire button.

8. A small 7mm PTC Fuse ring (sometimes people call it a kick ring, but if you actually have a kick you'll probably never use this).

6. A 1.9mm 18500 extension ring.

7. A 3.5cm 18650 extension ring.

For using with an 18650 battery alone (no fuse or kick), or to kick an 18490/18500.
1. Loosen the thumb screw in the top cap.
2. Attach your atomizer/tank/carto to the depth you want it (usually flush mounted).
3. Finger tighten the top firing pin until it makes contact with your atty.
4. Attach the 18650 extension ring to the 18350 main body (the largest extension ring in the set).
5. Screw the top cap w/atty on.
6. Slide in the battery with the positive end up (toward the top cap).
7. Make sure the button assembly is together and working properly and screw this in finger tight.

You should have 2 parts left over.
1. A small 7mm ring.
2. A ring that is the next size up [1.9cm].

For reference:
To use an 18350, use none of the extension rings (you'll have 3 left over).
To use an 18490 or 18500 battery, or to Kick an 18350 use the 1.9cm ring (again, you'll have 2 left over).
To kick an 18650, add both the 1.9cm and the 3.5cm ring (you'll only have the smallest 7mm one left over).

The tiny 7mm ring is for using something like a Vape Safe or ShortStop fuse.

Some people like to keep the 7mm ring for aesthetic reasons (I.E. mixing a brass and stainless nemmy for a banded two tone look), or just to get differnet action on the button. For this you'll need to get alternative 'extended contacts' which allow you to keep this ring without using a fuse or spacer.

Thanks Sir, I think the magnets is what I need to fix my problem.

That 7mm ring (including threading in that measurement) can be difficult to see. When it's put together, it appears to only be about 4mm (threads are hidden), and sometimes the machining is good enough that the seam is almost invisible...especially on a brand new Nemmy with no patina.

Look at it close, and make sure that smallest ring isn't still installed.
When put together...you should always have at least one extension ring left over (unless you're using a PTC fuse, spacer, or have extended contacts).

If an 18650 battery is still loose after losing that ring...something is odd. Double check you've the right size battery.

P.S.

The magnet kit alone won't change the contacts and/or battery spacing.
If you want to use the 7mm ring without a fuse or spacer, get the kit that ALSO INCLUDES the EXTENDED CONTACTS. They are a little longer than the stock set.

What if I put a magnet ontop of the battery? Wouldn't that eliminate the rattle?

Yes, that could work...be careful though. I'd recommend giving that magnet a wrap with electrical tape (so the outside edges can't touch the side of the mod if it gets loose and moves) and then trimming so the top and bottom of the magnet are bare.
