So I own a Tobecco SS Origin clone, a fasttech Private V2 in clone, and a fasttech brass Nemesis clone. The Origin has the jankiest switch ever due to its ability to be adjusted from the outside, which also made it the biggest pain to get set up. It also hits the weakest of the three. The Nemmy was a pain in the ... to get set up, but it still was not as bad as the origin, and it hits like a truck! The private has been nothing but relieable and user friendly from the get go, and has given a great consistent vape the entire time I've owned it. Now I'm just waiting for my fasttech Raijin clone to come in.

Out of all three I like the looks of the Origin the most but it hits the crappiest so it has been regulated to my back up. The Nemmy would be perfect if it weren't for the stupid pin in the switch, but a small piece of properly applied scotch tape took care of that problem. It has become my favorite out of the three. However if I were to recommend one of the three for someone looking to get into mechs, I'd tell em to get the private v2. Thing was a snap to setup, with no fiddling required. It also gives the most consistent vape throughout the battery charge and it has the most grip out of the three.

That's my
:2c: and I'm tossing it into the pile

A Fasttech Nemesis was my second mech, right after the obligatory k100. It took me a while to figure out how to assemble it, but once I did I fell in love. Just recently got a HCIGAR Copper Nemesis, and I'm in love all over again.

It isn't the smallest mod, but it's so easy to adjust.. no taking the cap on and off to compensate for battery size, etc. And the switch just works. Great design.

Okay, first thing is, if your nemi is a pia to set up, then, well my friend, you fracked up. I would venture to guess that you are trying to use it with the Kick beauty ring and think the switch post is adjustable. IT IS NOT!!! The switch contact pin should be tight. It is not adjustable. On the clones, if you unscrew the switch housing, you can remove the little spring, and this will smooth out the switch. The center pin must be tight, or it can back out over time, and cause a miss fire.

Also, there is a small beauty ring, or kick ring, that needs to be removed, or one has battery slop, or one can get an extended 510 pin, and use the ring. It is usually just under the 510 cap, or between the tube sections. Remove the ring and everything should be fine. The Nemi is like one of the easiest and dependable glitch free mechs out there.

I know what a kick tube is, and it was the first thing I pulled off and tossed in my "spare parts if I ever need em" box. I don't spend what little spare cash I have without doing some research first :p. I was talking about the locating stud in the switch that kept falling out cause my small spring was too compressed to keep it in place, right out the box. Nothing a pair of pliers and a little trial 'n' error on the right amount of stretch to give it didn't solve. The Nemmy is up and running just fine and currently is my favorite Mech I own (like the first post mentions), though I can see why people ..... about the switch. Doesn't matter much anyways once my magnets get here those springs are going in the "spare parts if I ever need em" box with the kick tubes. Over all it wasn't really that bad, but compared to my Private (which was my first mech) it was still a pain the ... :)
