It seems to be a clone of the Nemesis by Atomixani. Is it a decent mod for a beginner? And is it compatible with the Kanger Protanks?

i love my nemesis clone! its a great clone, it was my first as well. i usually have a rda on it or a kanger aerotank. just read up on battery safety if you havent already! also invest in good batteries and charger!

I know Hcigar makes a clone of the Nemesis but I'd never heard of the Atomixani version before, and never heard of the company. At that price the quality worries me a tad.

thats the company who makes the original nemesis, you are buying a clone of the " atmomixani nemesis" imo you cant go wrong with any of the nemesis clones, plus theyre cheap!

Atomixani is the real thing. You are not likely find the real deal for that low a price.

Note in the item description it says:
1:1 Clone

It doesn't say which clone maker (EHPro, HCigar, etc.)
At $25 it's probably one of the Fast Track clones?

Not a bad price really, should be worth it even if it's one of the cheaper ones.
If it's an HCigar or EHPro it's a good deal for sure.
You might message the seller to ask which clone variant it is.

I love my Nemesis mod. One of the best ecig purchases I've made.

 

[TheProphet]

I'll message the seller and ask. Will it work with the Kanger Protank2 minis?

You would need an adapter....the Nemesis is 510 connection, while the Mini Protank uses an e-go style......any reason why you want mechanical mod?

Do you mean a beginner with vaping in general, or just with an unregulated mod?

I say go for it if you're already familiar with vaping. If not, consider adding a Kick, or maybe trying an inexpensive APV like the MVP for a few months to see if you even like vaping.

It's a good hitting mod. Just be sure to study up on battery choices and safety.
Here's the short list:
1. Choose a quality high drain battery with a 20amp or higher rating.
The 18650 Sony VTC 4 or 5 is good.
The 18650 AW IMR 1600 is good.

2. Do not over-drain the battery. Recharge from 3 - 3.5 volts.

3. If you want to use shorter batteries like 18500 or 18350, consider adding a 2 cent fuse, as these mods do NOT have a collapsible spring in them to protect you from shorts. It's not a bad idea to use one of these with the 18650 batteries either, but the two posted above should give you enough head room to stay out of danger.

4. You might enjoy adding a Kick or Crown. Such a regulator can make your mech into an adjustable power APV, along with a host safety features. If you use one of these you won't need any kind of 2 cent fuse, as they have current and thermal protection built in to them.

Yes, you can use the Kanger tanks with the Nemisis style mods unless they are the type with ego only threading (you'll need a 510 to ego adapter for those). I've yet to find a 510 atty/tank/carto that doesn't fit and work well on this type of Mod. With the Kanger tanks, you'll even make use of the Nemisis air flow control

I need to step up from my Evod VV, I'm not getting the performance I need out of it, to be able to really taste the flavors and such. I was debating between the nemesis or a digital mod like the Itaste MVP2 but this is a great price.

 

[Bigflyrodder]

No, it will not work with your PTmini without a 510 to ego adapter. Mechanical mods only have 510 connectors which is the threaded post with pin in the center. The PTmini, Evod, and several others need what are called ego adapters as they were designed to be used over ego, ego spinner, evod, etc. stick type batteries.

Nemesis clones are good, just be careful about which version you are buying. HCigar, EHPro are good, others not as much.

I'm not famalair with the Protank2 Mini, but I think you might need an adapter for that one.

Given that the Nemisis is a 22mm mod, why not go for a bigger tank?

 

[Bigflyrodder]

I know you are asking about the Nemesis mod but it sounds like you are running tanks. My suggestion, unless you are thinking of using a Kick inside the mech, would be to look at vv/vw devices. A great choice would be something like the MVP 2 which you can find places like 101vapes for about $40. They are vv/vw, have both 510 and ego threading, can be adjusted for different ohms on different devices, etc. which would be prefect for use tanks. Mech, in my opinion, don't really do the job with tanks unless you are regulating the watts with a Kick as they provide whatever power is available right off the battery and that is only moderated by the ohm level of the coil you are using.

Just food for though....

You would still need authentic batteries not knock offs, 10.00 each, so two total, one for backup...unless you go through the Fasttech route. Then you would need a decent charger that won't pop, so let's say 20.00. Don't forget Mechanical mod maintenance, equipment, polishing rags, contact cleaner, lubricants, etc. But it appears you seem new to mechanical mods, so somebody will suggest a "fuse" or "kick 2", so depends how much you want to spend, 10 to 50.00.

I have 2 of the tanks. I'll upgrade tanks as well, but wanted to see if what I have now will work while I upgrade over time.

I'm basically new to vaping, and I understand that a mechanical mod isn't a great idea for a newbie, but one of the employees at my local B&M has one and I'm sure he'd teach me how to use it.

First off, it is a Mech mod, not a voltage regulated mod with short circuit protection and auto poweroff etc.

No it is not for beginners.

A good box for beginners is the MVP2;


Compatibility with protanks? basically you want something that uses the 510/eGo connectors; alot of the mech mods, including that one, are 510-only. Which IS compatible with the protanks but not the miniprotank. The eGo connector is a far superior connector compared to the 510 connector which is compatible with cigalike cartomizer type systems. Most common mods come with a 510/eGo connector which means you have a choice of screwing on a simple cigarettefilter sized carto, or a bigger tank that uses the more solid eGo size connector.

Get the MVP2.
Aside from having safety features on your regulated mod, as a beginner you will find it very usefull to be able to check your ohms and to adjust voltage or wattage.
The MVP2 is also convenient because it is a passthrough battery and not a tube requiring you to also get a charger and batteries. Even if you later on buy a tube etc, your MVP2 would probably still work for a long time on the charge/passthrough cable as an ohm checker or backup.

For an even lower price but with lower battery capacity there's the itaste vv v3.

Ok so I found this: Innokin Itaste MVP 2 0 iClear 30 Kit VV VW Box Mod 510 Ego 2600mAh New USA | eBay

Amazing price, as long as it's legit. The description says 510 Ego, so can it take both 510 threaded tanks and ego threaded tanks?

 

[Credo]

I concur with the others...

If your heart is set on a pretty Mech...spring for a Kick regulator to start with. Since you don't already have a bunch of stuff you'll also need good batteries and such...so you'll be getting close to $100 or even a bit above it diving right into a mech.

An MVP will drive the premade coils very well. It'll have batteries built in already. You'll be able to explore Rebuildables on it as well if you like. After a few months of using that, you'll know more about what sort of high end APV you want, or if you'd rather grab a Mech.

Yes...a great beginner, or even intermediate mod. It'll take the ego and 510 stuff. Has everything you need right out of the box, AND you can use it to charge iPhones and such in a pinch.
