I recently acquired a Nemesis Kalafan and am extremely pleased with the fine construction. Immediately, I am wanting another of Atmomixani mod. The 69 Telescopic seems nice, especially with the brass option. Any opinions?

I Love mine, with a few caveats of course. First and foremost, this is not a Nemesis, nor does it compare, mainly the button, which kind of sucks, period. The construction is top notch, threads are awesome, super flexible, silver contacts, brass option is nice but not necessary for $70+...
The button is tempermental at best, it misfires constantly unless you hit it just right, which can get frustrating. The plus side is that you can top or bottom mount it, it seems in my experience at least that when bottom mounted it seems to hit a bit harder, but not much, noticible though. Theres nothing you can really do about the button issue that I know of, as I stated, when it hits, it hits hard but contact issues between the poles of the button and the poles of the contacts persist, perhaps adding a fatter pin to the button would help to resolve this issue, or a large flat pin.
In comparison to the Nemesis there is really nothing special about the 69, except for the exceptional quality of the machining and silver contacts, excellent conductivity etc.
That being said, my 69 is a desk piece with a kayfun mounted, it gets used every day and other than the button it doesnt have any issues other than the typical telescoping tube mod problems, singularly an issue with long batteries (18500, 18650) and the larger (top) tube rocking back and forth on the smaller (bottom) tube when extended, if you throw a 350 in there the problem is eliminated.
Hope this helps, honestly id rather spend my money on a 3rd poldiac lol.

I have never experienced button problems with mine. Mine has worked flawlessly. I have a 69 and a Nemesis. I love the build quality of the Greek mods. I also have a couple Poldiacs and a Roller. I like side button telescope mods, and my 69 is one of my favorites.
Realizing that I preferred side button mods over bottom, I sold some of my mods (Nemesis, King, Gus, Sentinel M16) and have reduced my collection to two mods; an Eric's Edition 69 Mod and a Roller SS-IM Custom.
As the previous posters have stated, the build quality of the 69 is impeccable. In regards to the button, I have had no problems with the button; it fires as it should.

I've never had a button issue with mine either. I clean the contacts once a month or so, that's it
great mod!
My brass 69'll be here tomorrow. I'll be sure to post my feedback after I've had a chance to evaluate it. Until then I'm looking forward to reading the responses here
Three of you with both 69s and Rollers... Can any of you state a preference between the two?
My switch is also a bit wonky at times, and I've had it for 7-8 months. Adjusting, cleaning... it's just a bit wonky. If other people don't have the issue, then it's clearly QC. Anyway, I also had a Roller - lovely device. But I sold the roller and kept the 69. Even with the wonky switch, it just felt better in the hand (totally subjective) and is a mechanically simpler device, which I for some reason appreciate.
if I HAD to pick one, I guess it would be the "69" because of the airflow control. I like the switch on the Roller better though... so, it's six of one and a half dozen of another. i'm rambling... I luv um both
Sorry to dig up an old thread but if any1 that owns a 69 can pm me to help me get mine firing... i'm having this adjustable center pin issue. Thanks in advance.

Slight update got it firing but now having ventilation issues... its almost like moving the air hole ring is effecting the pin position so i seem to be either getting a super tight draw with a good fire or a really nice amount of suck with a poor fire ;/
any help gratefully received..?

I got my brass 69 Monday night and was having issues with it firing. I took it apart, cleaned it and put everything back together. Still had issues and after messing with it all night, I was so frustrated with it that if I'd bought it at a local store I would have returned it.
I emailed Katerina Tuesday morning and within 10 minutes she emailed back. I also managed to break off the top part of the pole switch that the contact screws into. Used pliers like shown in the video and turned right to loosen and snap!
She mailed out new plastic and pole switch this morning at no cost to me.
I have had to remove the little black insulator washer that was on the switch as it seems to be blocking connection. I asked if that part was really necesarry since none of the videos I could find showed it anyways. She said it would be fine with out it.
Since removing the insulator this thing is working flawlessly. It fires every time in either position. I don't get any wobble between the tubes even using an 18650 battery.
My only complaint with the 69 is how the top and bottom contacts adjust. It seems like for the 510 you have to tighten/loosen from the top, put your atomizer on, see if it's too tight or loose, remove it, adjust again, lather rinse repeat until it makes contact. I prefer the way the Nemesis adjusts as that works flawlessly. Maybe that's just the way telescopics are, I don't know. I can get over that and now I absolutely love this thing.
The build quality is awesome. The support from Atmomixani is superb.

Hey totally feel your pain I've sorted mine now, i flipped it to pinkie mode and put the thinner tube in the middle. After a bit of trial and error with the pin i got it cooking. It feels like so many people on forums & youtube had setup problems that could have been avoided with a little bit of paper saying a few helpful words!
Loving it now, it hits like a damn train!
