I have the nemesis mod, and it's an amazing mod, except it keeps killing my tanks. It's killed 3 vivi nova tanks in the past month. It could be the 5300 mah 18650 batteries inside because it seems the tanks break after I put a new fully charged battery in. If I get a drip automizer, or a better tank will my mod break them too? Or would a automizer work better?

5300mah 18650 batteries don't exist, so either you got a bad battery or your coils aren't wet enough to support the voltage. I have ran multiple clearos and cartos on a mech mod without any problems at all.
It would be handy to know the brand and type of the battery you are using with the nemesis.
Do your plastic tanks break, do you get burnt flavor or what kind of 'breaking' do you experience with your tanks?
Edit: I found a forum with tests made with the batteries, they are less than half of the milliamp hours (mAh) than they are advertised as (1200-1400mAh max):

GTL 18650 Battery Test [ Updated ]
My suggestion is to buy good batteries, like AW IMR 18650's or purple efests, they are what they advertise them to be.

I don't see how the Nemesis can "brake" your Vivi Novas by installing a fresh battery, but I can sure see a 5300mAh 18650 battery being a problem! THERE IS NO 5300mAh 18650 battery that would be safe to use in a mechanical mod!!!!!
IMO you would be best served by picking up an eGo battery to use while you read up on battery & mechanical mod safety.

What he says, actually there are not a single 18650 cell with 5300mAh use time. So the batteries you have are sketchy and personally I would get rid of them asap and buy better ones, like the 2 I mentioned in my earlier post.
If you are new to mech mods I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Baditudes Blogs.
You will also have to do your own research on cleaning/maintenance required in using a mech mod. I have not gathered any links on that.

BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY
Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

It says "LS 18650 5300mAh 3.7v li-ion" and the tanks just stop working, I'll go to fire it and it does nothing, When I try the tanks with other batteries they still no longer work.
Do you let the tanks sit for a while with liquid in them before you fire them because it sounds like you accidentally have pushed the fire button before the coils and wick are soaked with liquid which usually results in either the coil breaking due to the extremely thin resistance wires used in them or the wick being burned up and not letting any liquid to pass to the coil to be vaporized.
Have you adjusted the 510 connector on the mech mod for your tanks or have you tested them on a completely different battery/device combination after the first test with the mechanical mod?
I have no doubt that the tanks are (perhaps only temporarily) not working. I also have no doubt that you've got your hands on a 5000+ mAh battery.
However, I'm 100% certain that your battery should not be used in conjunction with a mech mod, even at the relatively low current drain incurred with stock coils.
They are almost certainly ICR batteries, which are not safe chemistry like IMR/INR/hybrid Sony VTCn, LG HE2, Samsung 25R, and so forth.
ICR batteries go boom when stressed, quite possibly turning your mod into a literal pipe bomb. Safer chemistry batteries are far less likely to do something like this, but are not completely risk-free in any mod, let alone a mechanical mod.
Since you're experiencing issues with your tank not working, you're almost certainly having some kind of connection issue, which seems like a fantastic way to introduce a very dangerous short circuit.
Please read the links provided by Susan, and put the mech down until you are able to figure out what could be going wrong.

That is an unprotected Lithium Cobalt ~4amp cell, which is explosive if vented. And, should NEVER be used in an e-cig.
You want Lithium Manganese (or Manganese Hybrid) cells.
Next:
Do you know how to adjust the center pin in your nemesis?
If you stack two batteries inside a mech mod the output voltage is 8 volts and yep that will burn out regular coils.
Get yourself a regulated mod like a vamo svd or zmax so that when you are getting problems you can check your coil resistance or detect if you have a short or open circuit.
what are you guys talking about? I use 18650 batteries that are 405687009032804923784092028042 mah....
