Hello, I just recently bought a nemesis clone and sometimes when i push the button, there will be a spark jumping from the locking ring onto the button and it gets really hot. I'm new to modding and I'm unsure what the deal is with this problem. [emoji27]

How do you know this information? Is it written on the battery or someone told you so? Does the protective sleeve cover the bottom edge of the battery? You may be shorting out! What is the brand? Sorry, i know there are many questions here but you need to know your sources to be safe!
the sleeve is missing a bit of the battery i can send a pic in the morning. I don't know the brand because that part of the sleeve was torn off, but all the rest of the info provided was written on the side if the battery besides 10a, my friend sold me the battery and he knows what hes talking about.
Quite simply Oroboros, your friend isn't a friend and I seriously doubt if he really does know what he's talking about. What he has 'sold' you is very dangerous on two counts.
1. Never but never use a Lithium-ion cell inside a mod if it has a damaged outer casing. Either bin it or re-wrap it if it is worth salvaging. In your case you should bin it for the reasons below. I also suggest you bin your friend too.
2. You should never use a Lithium-ion battery unless: a) You can guarantee it's authenticity and be of a reputable make. b) You know the history of the cell itself as it may easily have been abused by its previous owner. c) Know the cell's chemical structure i.e whether it is an ICR cell or most preferably an IMR cell.
3. Search our pages for Baditude's thesis on Battery Safety.
I don't know what ohm coils you use but just to be on the safe side get yourself a couple of Sony VTC 3, 4 or 5 batteries depending on your coil ohmage. I would advise taking time out to read up on the technical side of vaping, it will help you in the long run.

I understand that you trust your friend, but personally I would not vape a battery if I didn't know for sure what it was. If your friend made a mistake and the battery is a ICR, not a IMR or hybrid lithium ion cell, this could become very painful for you if the battery shorts. ICR batteries are the ones that can explode. IMR will not explode.
Do not hit the switch again once you know some part of the mod is heating up until you figure out what's wrong and correct it.
Moving on, are you putting the battery in with the positive end touching the 510 connection, where the atty is screwed on? If it's the other way around and the battery makes contact with the inside of the mod tube where the plastic wrapper is missing, it can hard short when you hit the button. If this is happening, the battery will be getting hot, not just the switch. BTW, this is one example of the short I was talking about above.
FYI, if you put the battery in the right way around and the metal casing makes contact with the inside of the mod tube, the mod will fire continuously until you take out the battery. This isn't happening, I just wanted you to know the risk was there.
The easy way to solve this is to replace the heat shrink wrapper. New wrapper can be bought and installed easily. You can use electrical tape for a temporary fix if your battery will still fit into the mod.
If this is not the issue, you probably need to clean all the mod's electrical contact surfaces which means all the threads too and specially the switch parts. Here's a video that will help you out with that. Be careful not to lose the little pin.
Good luck with it and vape safe
Thank you all for the help. I'll be patching the battery to see if this is the case, if so ill be buying a new better battery.
I... uh... Hm.

OK, as you understand now, that's good in this case because insulating the battery might just be all that's required
Just be careful not to let it heat up for long if it still does.
Hope this does it for you
I'm a newbie here but I did put in the time reading the battery safety you all recommended reading. Very important stuff. I have a Nemisis too and would not use it until I got all the stuff read and watched tons of videos. I also use a kick.
Yeah, do any of you have a way to go about reinsulating/resleeving the battery. I can't get ahold of the new battery at the moment and i still want to vape. I tried wrapping it with scotch tape only to have the battery not even fit.
You just need to stop NOW, and go educate yourself before you really injure yourself. Learn how to use your equipment and safely or go get a variable voltage / wattage mod.
I know what I'm doing, but i just am curious if anyone had this issue and how they went about fixing it. I just need to resleeve the battery with some heat shrink wrap. It'll be quick and easy.
