I wager that trying an eleaf istick or a Vaporshark DNA 30 might change your mind on that one

Smaller still with stable and variable power

I had to look up www.eleafworld.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=154 

Wow... 75mm length... that's the same as my 18650 OB Fortune Mod and an extra 200 mAh when new.

Most impressive.

I wonder how long it would survive the inevitable seepage of juice / occasional drops and whether or not it's an easy battery replacement... But then for 40 USD (I think, unless I'm seeing US adverts for clones) it's in the high-end disposable place.

Shouldn't it be 22mm wide?

That said, I could be tempted... Almost...

I quite like the idea of building my own box mod, though... something to sit on my desk with an RDA on those long winter evenings partaking in this community.

No it really is that price - I paid £32 for mine for Heaven Gifts but £12 of that was DHL shipping.

Was bought mainly as a backup out and about device to my Vaporshark (as I don't really want to take a £120 mod out for drinkies) but actually its so good I could easily have it as main device.  

The width is a slight irritation for overhang but it really looks the business with an ego threaded atty on it.  Lipo battery though so would be a solder job to replace.

@tom777 I have an iStick, brilliant wee thing. Next time I see you

That must be soon. I'll pm you and babs later.

+1 for FyneMods
best place to buy from imo

stingray > nemesis

nemesis is decent enough but i think the stingray, or stingray x is better.
Better 510 (floating = no adjusting), better switch (with magnets), shorter overall length... can't think where a Nemi beats a Stingray (for my needs, in my opinion, etc, etc)

Stingray would be a great first mech.

Agreed!!

2years ago I had an authentic nemi and it was OK, then had a few clones and again.. They were OK.. Well apart from the button on all of them!!! Crunch-city.

Have the infinite stingray X and it's by far the best quality clone I've ever used.
Is on par, if not better than an authentic nemi IMO.
Again these are just my first hand experiences but for £30 there isn't anything I can think of to beat it

Thanks for all the advice, some of it will still be useful for later as I will probably soon get another mod. Just to update, I called into a local B&M today and among a lot of expensive mods they had a Nemesis clone which I picked up, it was the only mod they had within budget. There are a few things that are not quite 100% about it, such a rough threads and the bottom switch can feel a bit clunky unless pressed dead center, but it vapes well and I am happy for now. Next on the list is either a RBA or RDA...or both.

Got a Kayfun 3.1 today, made up a 0.9ohm coil and used cotton wick....man what a difference, lots of flavour, lots of vapour, nice warm vape, i'm definately a convert to mechanical mods and rebuildable's....already wondering what next ?
