Nemesis clone with fully adjustable silver plated battery contacts and fully adjustable silver plated top firing pin.

and Patriot clone with Gold Plated Screws. Air holes drilled out to 1.5mm

both finished in gold. My first mech :)

AW 18350 or Sony 20A 18650

Both the mod and atomizer are a flush 22mm in diameter.

Also, a nitecore charger, some VCV juices, some kanger coils for the PT3, a k100 from fasttech (that'll be here next year) and a 450mAh ego with evod tank for stealth vaping

Nemesis clone with fully adjustable silver plated battery contacts and fully adjustable silver plated top firing pin. For The Best Battery Conductivity You Can Get.

False. I assume that was copy-pasted from whatever website you bought that from.
Silver plated pins are great, but no +ve pin (hybrid) is better. Also the fake nemmy itself isn't going to be the greatest for voltage loss due to having multiple tube sections and the fact that it's brass (as opposed to copper for example). Of course voltage drop is almost never something you should actually care about. Lots of other things in a mod are WAY more important IMO.

It's actually not brass. It's stainless steel plated in gold. Don't know if that matters.

And thanks for your info on pins. Edited original post.

Like I said, first mech mod.

I believe the gold plated SS will be even less conductive than brass (assuming the brass is well maintained), but again it doesn't actually matter in practice. The advantage of SS is that it's more durable and doesn't need to be maintained as much. Watch out for your gold plating. It will come off if you polish your mod. There is so much hype about "this mod hits so hard bro". You can achieve the same thing by dropping your coil resistance ever so slightly if you really want. It is true though that on super low ohm builds a low VD mod will get you more usable battery life, but again, I rank switch feel/reliability, build quality, pin design, serviceability, durability and looks above measured voltage loss. Still love my BCV XXIX though, which happens to be one of the lowest voltage drop devices tested so far that I know of.

I bought a HCigar Nemesis clone (no logo, cause I don't want to pretend) as my first mech mod. It's pretty good, but has a few issues with build quality that bug me. Functions fine though. Less than 2 weeks after I bought my nemmy clone, I moved on to authentic mods and have not looked back.

Thanks so much. I don't care about the logo, brand vs authentic, I just want something that works well and looks pretty and is small in 350 mode. I'm sure the authentic works better, but I've heard good things about the reliability of the nemmy clone. I guess when the original has been out as long as it has, people have more time to perfect the cloned devices? I'm still new and before I drop hundreds of dollars on a what essentially amounts to a tube and switch, I wanna make sure that any mech setup (clone or authentic) is even viable for me to use.

Up until now, I've been using a segelei ZMAX v5 and a nautilus tank. So this is my first attempt at a mech AND a dripper. :)
