If they are good quality clones then you should be fine, let's underline "good quality", based on the price, and coloring schema..it sounds like fasttech or Ebay. I would get the manufacture name of the maker and google it and see if they are any issues that you might have to deal with. I know on Patriot clones...they are some misalignment between the air holes and coils...you also might have to drill air holes on the patriots little bigger.

On the Nemesis, you'll probably need a magnet kit for your firing button. The clone Nemesis tends to have poor made spring, so upgrade that spring or get "good" magnet kit for your firing switch.

I'm not big fan anything colored unless it was done properly...issues of voltage drops in mechs and other worries of poorly colored RDA that can contain lead,

The expensive magnets on ebay don't stop the nemesis clone from firing when standing vertically. At least my two magnets don't that I bought. Ordered a couple more as I read you may need 3 - 4 to stop it from firing.

I am not a fan of the thinly threaded lock ring on the hcigar nemesis clone, but besides this it is very nice.

The patriot clone i got off ebay is also nice. Drilled the holes out a little larger to blow some clouds. I also bought an authentic igo w because i read it is entirely made out of 304 surgical stainless steel.

It did come from ebay. As for the magnet kit, is there a certain brand that youd recommend to look for? As for the color, I think it was anodized if that tells you anything.

My Fatdaddyvapes magnets (2 Magnets) on my Nemmy Hcigar clone can handle all steel kayfun lite plus (filled) vs w/out firing.

"I also bought an authentic igo w because i read it is entirely made out of 304 surgical stainless steel. "
I agree with Bill Oso, authentic IGO products are pretty dam nice...for the money..I was kinda shock..I only paid this amount for it. You might check out the IGO-M..those go for under $40 ship for an authentic one.

Havent tried a patriot clone but I have an authentic and I really like it. Only issue I have with it is that it obviously doesnt have adjustable airflow but I should have a zenith in a week that will solve that problem. Its easy to build on and overall is solid. I had to drill out the airholes because I like alot more airflow than the stock holes allowed me to get. I have tried a couple nemesis clones that my friends own and overall they are pretty good. I do not like the thin threading on the locking ring like Bill Oso said, its just not smooth and takes some work to get it to lock (at least compared to my authentic mechs I have like my king and my vanilla). Also I have had a couple friends have issues with the firing switch. there was some sort of threading issue and the switch would just fall off. Thats a big con for me but what more can you expect from a clone, you get what you pay for
