Not to be a low spot but. I anticipated a great day. My honest review and don't want anyones feelings hurt.
I am much dissapointed in the Nemesis. As I have owned and own many higher end devices I have a bit of exp with them, so please understand that I was expecting more. I ordered the Matte and own a few very nice matte finish mods. The Nemesis finish seemed dull and had a close friend, very reputable, desribe it as a dirty matte. I see this finish scratching very easily. The threads are very easily scratched unless one very slowley mates the female and male together and with ultimate care finds the thread to screw on. My threads have scratches upon delivery. There is also a white fog on the outside of the threads that after a steam clave and polish will not remove.
More bothersome to me is how the thread rings were were attached to the tubes as well as when the entire device is together, you can see each piece where they connect from the outside. Im not just talking about the threaded pieces but every piece welded or mated on the tube from production. That is dissapointing in a mod with such a future. I would gladly of paid $75.00 extra for none of that.
Aside from the fact that I have been looking for the brass(key)pin in the carpet for 45 minutes and cant find it because the button was a bit sticky and I was wondering why.
And let me add that their other devices are no less than awesome and beautiful.
Again, sorry to be a downer.
Be Well
Just got the nem today and I am sorry for your experience, personally I like it. I ordered the kalafun edition and I got to agree with you the the matte part is dark, and I like it because I can match it with the kayfun. THis is exactly what I have expected from a matte finish, if you get a shiner matte, that would be call "brushed".
I do find the thread very thin and like what you say hard to thread on, but from a conductivity standpoint, it is good as less current is lost when the threads are finer.
Talk to the people , the have the best customer service.
