My FT order came only took 2 half weeks WOW : NEMISIS issue

[virus2k]

Hi guys i got another nemisis not sure who the hell made this one thought
the previous one i currently have is SS and its awesome and it came in great shape no issues no flaws and it was a HICIGAR version.

this version seems cheaper lol that i got from Fast tech it was a mixed edition SS+BASS looks great but it has a few dings minor issues but here is the puzzle to my issue

--------------------------------------------------

the HCIGAR version i have, its topcap lets me screw in all my attys for example my expromizer and my rose v2 fit flush and perfect on my hcigar version.
but this version lets me screw the expromizer down completely but for the life of me i can not screw down the rose v2
it will screw half way and completely stop...

i have no idea why it wont screw all the way down..... i cant even use the rose v2 on this nemesis lol very weird.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

though my other stuff came and everything is perfect even my 2x kicks arrived so thats 3 kicks i have now 2x 5-12w and 1x 5-13w 
and i have loads of drip tips now hahaha 
but anyway back to the nemesis weird issue that is.

The 510 centre post is adjustable unscrew top cap then loosen the centre post a few turn then screw atty till flush the re tighten centre post

[virus2k]

lol im not that of a noob mate
this happens with the center post completely removed to lol, though i have fixed the issue now anyway

the issue was the tiny air holes when they drilled those holes out they forgot to sand down the other end that was inside it there for left small jaggy steel on the ends of the drill points, i stuck a precession screwdriver in there and bent those jaggys away and now it goes in all the way

if this issue happens to others, thats how i fixed mine......

Sounds like the top cap threads are goosed

I explained what the issue was... and the threads where fine, the issue was that the noob china factory or where ever it was drilled at did not sand the ends down after they drilled out the air holes leaving jaggy steel ends at the bottom of the inside of the topcap lol

its fixed now though

I had a similar issue with my FT clone, only this was with the vent holes on the bottom. The holes on the inside of the tube hadn't been smoothed out so a battery got stuck on them and so couldn't connect to the switch. Had to get the dremel to them and smooth them out.

lol i can say one things for sure.....
even though the nemisis versions and varietys ect on FT (fasttech) are cheap i would stick to the UK for getting clones as no way in hell the ones coming from FT are HCIGAR versions.

Had a similer issue with my second coolfire 1 i just got with extension cap, the cap wouldn't screw on all the way, must have been detritus in the threads, some not so gentle persuasion, and a bit of screw unscrew and it learn't who was boss.

What do you expect though when we get them for a pittance compared to the official price, I'm happy.

Exactly that ....^

if a bit of fiddling is required then so be it ... We're paying peanuts to the Chinese for stuff that costs well over £100 for the real deal ...

[virus2k]

I might just buy a real nemesis so i can say, wow this is just the same  lol (NOT)

or i might just do it for real, i wonder exactly what is so different about the real deal wonder if they have the same flaws like dings and bits of steel like flaws ect lol

In my experience the difference is night and day. I have a Nemi and though I'd' try a clone of it's bigger brother. It was inferior in every way. Slack threads, brass plate, raspy switch and generally lacked precision in manufacture and feel in use.

It looked good and it worked, but blindfolded and presented with all the pieces I would find it easy to tell the difference just handling them. It was from a UK vendor so 1/4 the price of the Nemi and would be much less on the slow boat, so fair do's. It was the only clone I have bought and may not have been representative, as so many do say they can't tell certain clones from an original.  It didn't sit well with my other gear and if I had kept it I wouldn't have used it much. It put me off clones.

There are good and bad clones of most things. You need to do a little research to find the good not just buy the first you find.
generally asking on here is a great start
