do you know how to build the coils yet ? Should have got the nemesis as well then you can get the kick from fasttech... Spend spend spend ;)beats seeing good money end up in an ashtray !!!

[kevin21]

you don't need a kick on the nemesis it's totally optional, you do need a good battery, and yeah I can build coils just fine thanks, don't have any ashtrays because I don't smoke.

Pulled the trigger on this as well, and on the Kayfun. £20 for the 2, really can't argue for that price! Just need to order some batteries for it now, is it IMR batteries that I need?

IMR are fine, but as the Nemmy has no electronics there is no built-in protection, so you're better off with protected batteries or a Kick

dang
considering I gave my self 3rd degree burns making coils (yep im that dumb lol) how advisable is a kick in a mech mod

I've ordered a kick from FT. Where can I get protected batteries from? Sorry for being thick but I only have 18650s at the moment and I have no idea if they're protected or not.

If you use a kick collie2011, you don't need protected batteries as the kick provides the protection.  Some IMRs from Torchy will be good

I think that a Kick provides limited protection (thermal, from memory, but speaking to Keith of C9V he reckoned that one shouldn't bank on protection from a short in the same way you would with a fuse... and even then nowt beats care and attention... Saying that, I try and always use a fuse.

The advantage of an IMR battery is that when things do go wrong, the chemical structure of the battery has greater stability than a protected battery, so if things do go wrong in a way that the protection doesn't handle then you've a little more time to recover things (especially the dreadful `put battery in the wrong way up and feel it get super hot in your hand` error, says he who has done that twice and has blown two fuses due to slackness when re-wicking).

The advantage of a protected battery over a fuse is a couple of mm (i.e. a shorter throw on the switch and/or less or know gap between tubes (I think)). The advantage of a protected battery is more amp hours.

Oh - a kick is great when you quickly make a poor silica coil of two high a voltage and don't have time to rebuild so you can force it to be okayish with a kick).

I'm noticing more and more mechanical mod vendors recommending IMR batteries (I only use IMR: Torchy's, Efest and I'm-certain-they-are-genuine AW's )
