Yea Team:(

Nemesis looks like ....!:mad:

So much for customer reviews.
Top air ring is nowhere close to aligning with Art work no matter which tubes are attached.
Least they could do is make them 180* out.
I'd rather not see them than see them 30* to one side!!!!!!

Not really Fasttechs problem, but Manufacturers really need to stop and look at QC in a serious light.

ETA- KICK Will NOT fit - sigelei-K, smaller in diameter than Evolve with NO shrink wrap - WILL NOT FIT
Not in the Kick Ring or the 18650 tube for 18500/Kick:mad::mad:
Looks Like the Tube has been thickened to make feel heavier and reduce battery rattle.

Starting to wonder if this latest batch is even from same Manufacturer:confused:

Really, Kick Evolv and older sigelei are not likely to fit? If this is true I will cancel my SS and Brass Nemesis waiting restock.

Please advise
Thanks MGJ

Dang sorry mate.

I have to say my smok kick works nicely in it.

Also the only time I really looked at the artwork is to see if it would be easy to take off. I will check when I get home.

My order from 10/11 shipped 10/14 and will be here today, My math comes up with 10 days from order to delivery, must be some kind of new record from FT in China to My House in Florida. My other order from 10/11 had a 5 day wait for stock, but has shipped and I hope leaves China tomorrow. My last couple have only taken a couple of days after acceptance to leave on de plane. Lately for me it it has been 12 to 14 days for delivery. My order from 9/7 just left China 10/20 heading this way, but I know that is not a record as some have been waiting longer than that for there orders.

I'm at a loss for words. It's like we're playing Roulette. My two orders (RC114080134HK,RT200811874HK) are waiting to be acknowledged. Nothing important in either order. I'd just like to know that they're being treated well and everything is OK.

Well, for now I have decided the Nemesis is a junk Mod, not in quality but esthetically. I'll use it as is for a while and if it looks like it is going to hold up I have a few Ideas to make it more acceptable.
With the polished ring removed, the top of the main SS Tube could be sanded down to allow the Top to rotate further. It should be minimal and not overly effect adjustments or function.
As for the Bore - either machine it out(to costly) or dedicate a single Kick sanded down(hopefully) to fit this mod Exclusively.

I still think it is total BS and hope not to many others run into this. I enjoy tinkering and tweak a lot of my gear, but this is really uncalled for from the get go.:glare:

ETA - you know you are disappointed when you don't even feel like Vaping:ohmy:

Yeah, they might have switched manufacturers... I heard the hcigar ones are pretty good.
 
Finally! I've had an order sitting in Acceptance at Hong Kong Post since 09/03, and now it shows "The item (LK*********HK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 22-Oct-2013," but only on HKP's website. As soon as I demanded a refund something happened, hmmmmm. At least it's something. 48 days and counting, let's see how long it sits like that.

It took a day or two after hkp updated for usps to do the same for mine. Hkp will update again saying when it will be scheduled for departure to oversees.

Looks like I may have jumped the gun on the overall look. After some heavy gallery searches I've come to the conclusion ehtier some are getting lucky or someone has spent more time in matching Tops to Tubes on many of the Newer originals. There are a lot of Original Nemesis with Air Control tops sitting at odd placement to the Logo and even 180* out, above the serial/name area.

This is not a plus for china but rather a minus for Atmomixani as it takes away from supposed perfection. I would Not accept an Original at that Price with an out of perspective part.

Next stop Kick the Kick issue. Will reshape one tomorrow. Seems only the upper board is a bit to large, but on both of my Kicks. Should only take a minor Filing to get one to fit.:)

Well, I have something weird.
Ordered on Oct 8
Acceptance Oct 11
Origin post is preparing shipment Oct 13
then that last update disappeared and now it is just sitting in Acceptance since the 11th.
So odd.

and the order I placed Oct 10 is moving along:

Acceptance, Oct 17
origin post preparing shipment (no date)
and processed through sort facility. (Oct 20)

Natch the latter one is just some iclears and coils........just extras.

The first one that is behaving weirdly is:
MVP2
itazte v3
and a lego watch for a Christmas gift for a grandchild.

Not worried but I did think it odd that order no. 1 seemed to 'back up'.

Not Roulette, Just a roll of the dice, Craps for another term, I just lucked out and got a good roll this time. Got a bad roll on my 9/7 order, but all is good now that it is on the way. Just stuff, backups of backups of backups, and a few other things of no importance.
