Hey guys I just ordered a nemesis clone and a kayfun lite plus v2 both are from hcigar and I ordered through vape royalty. I ordered the magnets for the button for the nemesis but other than that what else can I buy to enhance my experience with this ? I don't know where to order tha battery either or what size,I don't think it comes with a battery.. I got sick of fiddling with my protank and I read the nemesis and kayfun wer a great combo so I figured it's about time to make the jump! I have experience rebuilding protank heads (although I never used a device to read the ohms) so I'm guessing it shouldn't b too difficult a switch to the kayfun. Any links that could help me down this path would be great thanks!

Your sure going to need an ohm meter. Some tools like tweezers, wire snips or cutter or an old nail clipper, ruler, some diff sizes of rods like drill bits to do the wrapping, small screwdrivers, pliers and a torch or torch lighter. Supplies: Organic unbleached cotton balls, 28 and maybe 30 ga wire. I advise going with dual coils. Keep them in the 2-2.5mm ID range. I wrap them to 1.8 ohms each. Look on Youtube at Shotgun coils on the Kayfun. Once you have gone dual you wont go back. They are tricky to attach so you don't have a short but if I can do it anybody can. Two big tips. With cotton less is more don't pack it in the coil and do not pack it into the wick trays so that the holes are blocked. Do not fill from the top oh and almost forgot prime your wick.
Here are two links to apps to help with calculating wire length an wraps: Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators and this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valsoft.vaperstoolbox

how slippery is that black finish? I have been really tempted by a nemy clone but I have a love hate relationship with my polished Chi You clone because it is so slippery I have trouble pushing the button on it without it slipping out of my hand.

I know, right ! I always have a rag with me when using my SS Chi, it drives me nuts !

MAKE SURE you keep your mech CLEAN ! This threw me in a fit for like 2 days. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. When they say "CLEAN" they mean "SCRUB THE CRAP OUT OF IT", LoL

Just wow :shock:

Bought a Nemesis but no Idea about batteries?
Just got the tube it comes with? - comes with Tubes to fit all 18xxx Batteries PLUS a Kick module!
Kick module? What's that?.................................never mind:facepalm:

I have experience building my own Protank coils, but never read the ohms????
NO, you know how to twist wire.

While awaiting the arrival of your new toy, May I suggest a few hours on YOUTUBE becoming acquainted with SAFE VAPING practices?

Yes, please be safe and do a good amount of research before diving right into RBAs and mechanical mods. The ever-wise Baditude usually recommends these reading materials for beginners:

Ace hardware stores, or a more expensive but it's exactly the right thing from fatdaddyvapes, get extended pins. This allows you to use the 5mm beauty ring. Not really necessary with the black style you have but I think all Nemeses look better with the beauty ring. You want to get a M5 set screw at the hardware store that will extend into the tube 5mm to 'use up' the space the beauty ring needs.

I have the hcigar clone myself. May I make a suggestion? Please familiarize yourself a bit more before you use it because if you short out in this mod it will happen so fast you won't even know what hit you. It will heat up so hot then can actually blow up and it happens in a blink with a short. So please be safe, get a ohm reader, practice winding, learn your batteries capacity, and become more familiar before you even attempt to use it. Also most are kinda own for having a bit of firing problems, I had to make a washer for mine. Make sure it does not stick on in firing mode cause it does happen. Just be safe. Trust me, you don't want to short in the nemisis. If it happens you better be prepared to pull that battery out as fast as you can safely do it, if you can't Think of it as a pipe bomb. Just please be careful. I really hope this helps. Do some learning and practice before you just fire it up. Think safety first.
