Stupid Cheap Nemmy clone just listed @ Fasttech

[BreSha6869]

This one was just listed yesterday, so no feedback on their site obviously, but I bought 3 @ $5.37 each. I have had good luck with FT clones, but we shall see.

Cheapest Nemesis clone I have seen, so thought I would share with you folks.

And here I thought I did well with the EHPro version from Hoosier for $9 (or $10 maybe?).

Most of the FT clones I own were $8-15, so this one is unusually cheap.

I just ordered this Fire of Life too.... $5.89 Fire of Life Styled 18650 Mechanical Mod - brass / 1*18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping ... Looks great for $5.89! Also just listed yesterday.

I think these will get me to 23-24 mechs, so I think I am done.

They are... and I've barely started.
They're tearing into a hater (that's fine) but I had to copy this...

"My Nemesis is indestructible. I have it for almost 3 years now, I've used it at least twice, and it still works flawlessly. Probably.

Best mech mod on the market. Also, the only mech mod I own, if I could be bothered to find it at the bottom of my drawer. It's superb."

I only own mechs because the Cube had a 71% sale back on the 4th.
Got an assorted handful including an EHP Nemmy, probably averaged $9 each.

Just got a 10 pack of magnets from FT this week and put 'em in today (4 wont fit, 3 works fine).

Still can't muster any enthusiasm for the mechs.

I love my Nemesis authentics (2) and my clones are ok for camping or out and about. My GP X is superior in every way though.

I bought a pair of authentic magnets for about $7 to try (work/fit great) and my FT 10 pack should be landing soon. Interested to compare. They are MAGNETS after all!

For $16 for 3, I thought they would be great to cannibalize for parts if they are crap. My expectations are pretty low.

I need a rice pin for one of my authentics, so an authentic one would likely cost more than one of these complete mods!

 

[ericbnc]

These would be a cheap source of rice pins and springs, but till someone's order arrives the threading compatibility is still a mystery.

I`m more intrigued by the 9 dollar Overdose. :?)

Ahh, I need another mod stand first, LOL.

Tempting, always wanted a nemi. I could settle for a clone at that price!!

I fell in love with the elements ember fire series mech and bought a clone from Fasttech for like 12 bucks a while back. It's SS, with the fire logo in red, but works well. I did find an authentic elements ember fire series mech in brass for $50 BN on clearance, but I want it so won't be posting where until I can purchase $ saving vapers probably know where it is.

Update/PSA.... Just recieved my $5 Nemmy clones and they are garbage.

Terrible part matching (obviously thrown together from spare parts) and completely unusable as the inside of the tube isn't sanded where the air holes were punched thru. Batteries won't go in without huge wrapper tears followed by likely an earth shattering kaboom.

I have opened a few tickets with FT lately, so I am just going to chalk these up to "if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is". Actually, the top cap, base, locking rings, positive, negative and rice pins are worth more than I paid for the mods, so I am ok with keeping them for parts. I'm not going to bother sanding the tubes and using these.

In any case, DON'T buy these if you plan to actually use them. Unless I was just super unlucky on all of mine, this is a completely terrible product.

On a better note, the $5.89 Fire of Life mod is killer. Highly recommended. The switch is great and overall quality is fantastic. If I didn't own dozens of mechs, I would buy a bunch more. Lastly, the $16 Knurled King "III" recommended by @Bad Ninja showed up and is also amazing for the $$$.

How did the King III come packaged for You?

Same as usual.... small black box in the standard FT shipping envelope.

That's the one I went for first too. Very nice mod. The one he recommended was the brushed King II mod. It comes in a square red box which was the nicest part of the product. After a bit of work I got it sorted but the tubes didn't line up so it looked bad before some serious polishing, button needed TLC too. I hope your brushed King is better than mine was out of the box.

Mine was perfect. It is the $16 version. I have the $6 version arriving soon.... be interesting to compare..

The King III and the King II were both $16 versions for me. The nice one:

Came in simple packaging. The King II brushed came in the fancy red box:

and needed too much work for a $16 mod. This is after polishing the tubes to mate flush.

I stay away from stuff if it has no ratings or ratings under 4 and a half stars , i look for a ton of reviews that are somewhat recent & a high 4 star or better rating before i pull the trigger.

I think many people have negative views of clones because they don't research & just buy because it's cheap .

Great clones exist but so do really poor ones.

You have between 23 & 24 mechanical mods ? Yeah , i think your good .

I agree, this mod is a bargain for the price or even twice if they wanted to charge that for it. As usual, the bottom pin only gets better with polishing but is acceptable out of the box. The engraving is deep and the mod just looks and works right.
