Now for the product link from VapeRoyalty:
HCigar Brass and Stainless Steel Two Tone Nemesis Clone
...............
Let me start off by saying this mod is fantastic. I use it every day and I love every second of it.
The nemesis logo is engraved deeply and HCigar is the only company I have seen come this close to replicating the depth of the real nemesis.
The real nemesis might be a bit deeper but it is hardly noticeable, so props to HCigar on that one.
Another thing is that the threading on the tubes feel very secure.
Anyone who has ever used an SVD will know what I mean when I say it doesn't have loose threading.
The locking ring works flawlessly as well. It doesn't move randomly in your pocket and has a very secure threading.
So far every atomizer that I have put on there has worked flawlessly.
Including but not limited to:
-igo-W
-Patriot
-Omega
Very secure connection on my atomizers which shocked me since this is a clone.
I was not expecting anything good but they are there to impress.
My batteries (all 18650) fit fine to.
None rattle.
I have tried the AW IMR's, Sony VTC4, eFest.
Fantastic clone so far! And to make it even better? You can swap genuine pieces in with the clone.
........................
Now on to the bad side.
This part will be short! Hardly anything is wrong with this clone.
For starters, this is a clone and even though I am happy they made it as close to the real as possible, they branded it like a real nemesis.
Con and pro for some. But I'll label it as a con.
Also, The fire spring loaded button sucks.
If you don't hit it right in the middle it is either really crunchy, or it doesn't move.
Took me about 2 days to get used to it.
My batteries dont fit with the gold colored kick ring on so it lacks on aesthetics a bit.
........................
Patriot RDA!
Sorry my picture doesnt show the logo, was a quick pick at the vape store.
I bought this at VapeRoyalty.com with my purchase of the nemesis.
I probably paid more than I should have, but it came in 2 days with my first mech. So I don't really care.
Patriot Atomizer Clone RDA
I don't know who made this which worried me seeing it listed more than an igo-W (which is a great little RDA)
Also, no reviews yet on their site.
So I said what the hell, I'll guinea pig it.
Straight out of the box I noticed a few things:
-God these air holes are tiny!
-Extremely hard to get the top cap off (more than usual)
-Still no manufacturer (since it wasnt branded on the box I doubt it was HCigar, rumored to be tobecco I think)
The laser etched logo isn't deep like my nemesis but it still looks beautiful.
When I place the air holes beside the coils, the logo doesn't line up perfectly with the nemesis logo.
For an OCD freak this is no bueno. But I will live with it.
I use cotton for my wicks, and it fits in the bottom (which is a decent size) well.
Once I drilled these out, (I dont remember the size sorry! But it whistles sometimes) it hit like a truck with my nemesis.
I blew out huge clouds of vapor with this while sub-ohming.
This RDA is also 22mm and sits flush on my mod.
For 25 dollars this thing feels like it is worth 100 dollars.
For some cons:
-Logo doesn't line up with the nemesis logo and the engraving on it isn't very deep
-Need to drill out air holes (no controllable airflow)
-The 2 negative posts are off put by a bit so the holes aren't 100% in the middle, they face away from the positive post ever so slightly which can cause an angle when tightening. (not really major, minor impact on rebuilding)
...........................
Nemesis:
-I rate this at 5/5. For a clone this is perfect at the low price of 55 w/ shipping.
Patriot:
-I hate to give this a 4/5 but it deserves to lose a rating for the etching and the negative post minor problem.
Would I recommend both of these?:
-Yes, in a heartbeat!

Vape Royalty review:
This website is well organized and their customer support team is on point. They will respond to questions hours after you ask them! Try finding another company that can do that.
Also, their shipping rates are pretty low. I recieved my product in 2 days. Placed an order on Monday morning and had it in my mail box on Wednesday!
This website is U.S based, If you want very high quality clones (10x better than fasttech) and rushed shipping - order from this amazing site!
Hope I helped. I know it's long but well worth the read
