Not sure what to grab. I have an hcigar SS nemesis clone and... man... what else brings the same suite of features?

It will do 18350-18650 batteries plus or minus a kick AND/or a fuse?

It has adjustable switch, and 510 connection.

It has integral airflow control for the 510 connection.

The drop from the battery to the connection was less than .1v. Actually .05-.07v.


What do I follow that up with... I mean. I don't even know what to look at?
The $40 I paid... was, a joke compared to what I got.


I looked at an atom clone. I'm not huge on brass, or copper mods. I'd like a simple good looking mod with a good switch lock out. My ONLY minor whine about the nemesis is the switch lock is smooth. And doesn't always facilitate an easy on / off if you spin it and it locks up tight.

What's some other stuff for me to look at? Origin? That button lock out looks... not intuitive tho. Although it would work great with my aqua in hybrid mode! That appears to have a similar suite of features too.

Also the atom. I like that knurled looking button.

What else should I be looking at?

That paps X Ive looked at before. I do like it.

I'm not forking out that kind of coin. I have rifles to feed. Ive built a bunch and if I have to allocate large volumes of cash for something. It is going to be on them. I'm going to easily be a couple K in on optics, slings etc.

Right now I think its going to be clones. The woman needs her own mech as she is just killing the VV3 over and over all day. I already have a few batteries and a charger so... toss in a kick and she'll be gtg.

Once I get what I actually NEED / boots on the ground mods wise. Then maybe I'll go for something a little more lavish.

As of now I'm still maybe a month in to this whole thing.

The chi doesn't blow me away.

Honestly features wise I think I did really well on the nemesis. I like that atom tho. Maybe go cheap and do an hcigar sentinel. Then something else too.

Still unsure...

I'm stalking the Hamoriko mod Hamoriko SS - Mini ECIG. It says it will do 18500+ a kick but it doesn't say it will do 18650 . . .I hope it does but I'm getting one, anyway . .if I can catch them in-stock, that is.

BTW . . .If I understand you correctly . .what you want to do is measure voltage drop under-load. Pretty much every mod has less .1 or less drop with no load. All mine, do anyway . .under load, though . .different story.

I just pulled the trigger on a nemi clone from fasttech. I heard it's not as good as the HCIGAR one but it seems decent. I'll know for sure in like 2 months, lol.

Yeah - the coil resistance and the battery, too. To compare 2 devices, I use the same battery and same rda on each. I have no idea how to attribute what is due to the atomizer connections, what is due to condition of the battery, etc.

When somebody says 'my XXXX has a .3 voltage drop!' . . it's not really useful for comparing because all the variables aren't the same. I take it to mean "it has good performance!" . .but I don't expect to get the exact same voltage drop measurement.

Well when the origin gets here I'll have something to compare too. I have noticed that the 18350's just cannot hang with the 18650's now that I'm under 1ohm on my aqua builds. (.8) They just get slammed out in short order and can't seem to put out even fresh. (I'm within the amp limit on them by a safe margin FYI)

So I know batteries matter too.

This is something I'm going to have to learn more about as time goes on I guess. When I have more things to compare.

A person after my own heart. My cheapest optics are worth over $500, and really nice glass can run over $2K... and worth every penny. Strangely, I have trouble dropping $200 on a metal battery tube. Go figure.

Ding! I'm willing to live with the slight reduction in quality of a decent clone. Daddy wants NVG!
