my order from FT arrived yesterday. I got 2 of the EK V2 RTAs ($9.04 EK V2 RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (4.0ml) - glass + stainless steel / 21mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and spent a frustrating hour trying to build it.flooding or dry hits were common. then I decided to try a premade coil and wick I have in stock for my BCCs ($2.42 Pre-made Wires and Wicks for Atomizer (50-Pack) 50-pack - 34 AWG / 2.0ohm / 8-wick at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping ran the wick down the juice channel trimming it just above the bottom of the top cap threads and it worked perfectly.this unit uses the EK style bridge wick and has very large juice channels. airflow is to tight for a sub ohm build but slightly better than BCCs like the MT3 or GS-H2s. this is a good cheap upgrade from those type of tanks but can be frustrating to build hope this is helpful to others who may be having similar problems.on my orchid V4 I also had to run a small amount of wick slightly down the juice channels (1/16 inch) to prevent flooding.
I also got a FT order today.
Nemesis report: battery slops around inside, can't get it to fire. Will have to get some magnets to shim the inside. Should work then. Except with my present situation, I really don't want to wait, as mail WILL get fouled up. Is there a stateside vendor? Or maybe someone has one just sitting around? I am not about to spend $3 for shipping for a .99 item at Rare Earth Magnet Battery Spacer (2pk)
Á la carte Orchid report: quite a bit different. Bell cap uses the fat drip-tip my other Orchids came with because the tall chimney-top fits inside the bore. Interesting, but I won't do it again.
My twisted 32g twisted coil at 2.25mm with eight wraps came in exactly at 1.8!

my nemesis works great but has a mechanical switch but my 4nine mech. mod with the magnetic switch gives me problems sometimes.I find myself wondering what the benefits are to a magnetic switch.
What? there's non vape related stuff??? OH, yur one of those folks that actually have a life huh lol
Glad you found a workaround for it.
0mg, hope you can get your nemesis workin well and glad ya like the orchid.
Fran....glad yur likin yur KF mini.
I just checked into their discussionshttps://Do the Magnets SKU 1558901 sold on here fit this Nemisis version?: FastTech Forums
and they are NOW recommending these magnets
$2.40 Switch Magnets for Nemesis Mod (10-Pack) 10-pack - 13mm*9mm*1.0mm(OD*ID*Thickness) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping The battery does not make contact. When I turn it upside down I can feel the battery slipping around inside. Ordered them. What with the move coming up---
Another juice shipment in the mailbox when I got home. 
The synthetic tobacco RY4 smelled very sweet so I'll have to see about that one. The GJ4 is an NET RY4 and smelled more tobaccoey. If the Godfather tastes half as good as it smells, it will be a reorder. Vaping the Patriot right now and I like it. A good step up from the Reds Type synthetic from Vape Wild but on the expensive side for a juice hog like me at $14 for 30ml + $5 or so for shipping, IIRC. A nice vape, though. Mild enough I could ADV sometimes.
Just vapin' and listenin' to Liszt. Glad work is done for the day.

Don't like bakky flavors but the music is great.
Omg, did you remove the kick ring from your nemi? I got one last year and could not get it to work. Started a thread and of the myriad of replies that didn't work, one person suggested remove the kick ring. Bingo! Worked like a charm. I have replaced the spring with magnets. I got 10 and only used 3. I would be honored to send you some. Converse me if I can help.
@0mg Meniere - look at clnire's post below. She's got it right. You need to remove what they call the kick ring between the tubes. Then all should work just fine. Be very careful taking the switch apart. There's little 'keeper' in there that likes to get itself lost.
Wahoo!
That is wonderful. Thank you. Message sent.
Yes, the 5mm x 1.5 mm pin? I still have that, and figured out where it goes. Luckily I caught it when it fell out.

First off, I foresee DIY in your future...
Luv da music!
Gotta say, ya were quite laid back at da hangout last night. Hope to catch dere again!
I have seen those pins available, sold separately, if you do wind up losing it. Just can't remember where ATM.
I have vapor!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!
I thought that little ring was just decorative. Took a bit of trying to get it loose.

I found the neme "rice pins" at Kidney Puncher (out of stock but I signed up for an email when back in stock) and also Fat Daddy's. Fat Daddy's web site is a PITA, but if you scroll down you will find them.
Omg, glad you got it working! Per our PM, oops, conversation, I organized my stuff a few months ago and hid those magnets on myself. geesh! but I know they are in a box along with a few springs I made just in case... I WILL find them!!! Organization is over rated....

I wasn't very happy there for a while. I know that for what people pay, instructions in good English are a day-dream, but nothing wrong with dreaming, hey?
