The Nemesis Fasttech clone

Today I will be reviewing the Fasttech Nemesis clone.  I want to really do this mod the justice it deserves.  Let me start off by saying I love the Nemesis.  There are mods one must do to really dial in the switch to really make this mod shine.  But I'll get into modding the nemesis in another blog post.

I buy my Nemesis clones exclusively from fasttech.  I do this because I know the top cap threading is 20.5 x .5mm.  This is important because I like to use hybrid connectors, again I'll get into later on.  This Nemesis I'm reviewing today is a one piece aluminum design which I love in the 18650 mode.  I have the modular ones that have separate tubes to extend to allow for 18350/ 18500/ 18650/18650 with a kick.  I only use those for 18350 modes.

The top cap has an adjustable 510 center pin to adjust for battery rattle.  The switch itself adjust for battery rattle by screwing it in further into the body.  I first start off by swapping the top cap center pin for the switch firing pin and I ditch the top cap completely.  But I'll go over that on another blog post along with the mods I do.

To me, the Nemesis is the most atheistically pleasing and the design is great.  It's truly a classic and will be around for a long time.  I know there are plenty of other mods out there that might be "cooler" but I don't own any of them.  I have never really like the recessed button design, I'm sure a lot of people like them and even love them but I'll stick with the Nemesis.  Just for a sneak peak, here are all of my Fasttech Nemesis Clones.  Yes I love them.  I have read other Nemesis (all from Fasttech) are better than others, but I have a few different models and they all perform perfectly.  But keep in mind that you do have to do some tweaking to make it work just the way you want it to.

If you are contemplating a mechanical mod, give the Fasttech Nemesis a spin.  It is a great mod and very affordable.

KangerTech KBOX

This is a review of my KangerTech KBOX that I have owned for about 2 months.  You can purchase it at various vendors but I found it at vaporbeast.com for 19.99 USD and with the code YEAHBABY you can get it for 17.99 USD.

This device's power range if 8 watts to 40 watts on a single 18650 battery.  That is a lot of power for such a cheap price.  It uses a standard 510 floating connection.  It has no display screen but uses LED lights to let you know battery life and what power setting you set.  Coming from mechanical devices, this is a great transition.  No screens and menu's to scroll through.  Just set the power level and vape.  I won't go into the details of what the little bells and whistle (or lack of) this device has because I'm sure you read them or watched them on Youtube already.

I'll talk about my impressions of this device.  Like I said, I was 100% mechanical user and this being my first and only regulated device, I have to say I love it.  Lots of power, easy setup and user changeable batteries.  The buttons are placed well and the LED lights can be seen easily even in the sunlight although, I don't really change settings once it's set, I just watch the battery level.

While we are talking about the battery level, let me tell you about the battery life.  As far as batteries go, the life of the battery is good.  The bad part is the cutoff voltage is set to 3.5VDC which in my opinion is a little too high.  I wish it would go down to at least 3.2VDC so that vaping time is longer between battery changes.  With that said, make sure you bring spare batteries with you if you are going out with it.

The device itself is light, feels nice in your hand.  Feels like it is very durable which I only had one drop and I only broke the glass tank that was on it, but the KBOX it's self survived the fall.

The only thing I can say is that the some of the coating/ paint isn't great.  Maybe I should have bought a silver one.  You can see in the pictures that the worst of it is the battery cover which almost the first day I had it started to wear down.  The screws have also worn off and left them silver.  There is some wear on the atomizer platform and on the corners.

So to wrap this up, I have to say it is well worth the 20 something USD I paid for it and feel that it will last me a long time.  If you are on the fence between black and silver, I would get the silver so you won't have the paint wearing thin like what happened on mine.  Ok, so on with the pictures.  enjoy.

About Me

Hey everyone. My name is Eric. I have been vaping since 2009 and consider myself an average vaper. My intentions for this blog will be about me and the equipment I use and how I set up my gear. It isn't necessarily the right or wrong way but how I chose to run my vape gear.

My early days started out with what is known as "cigalikes."  Devices that looked similar to cigarettes. I quickly moved on to flash light mods and stayed with that and cartomizers until around 2012 and moved to flash light mods and DCT tanks.

The industry started to grow and got myself a regulated tube mod (SID if anyone wanted to know what type) and protanks. I started off rebuilding the heads and was happy with my setup for about a year.

Rebuildable just started to hit the scene and I picked up a mechanical tube mod and rebuildable dripper.   This is when things started to pick up. I was buying all types of drippers drilling out air holes and hi drain batteries.

Even then, I was just doing it to stay off of cigarettes. But last year things changed.   When the Orchid came out it was a whole new world to discover. New heights of pleasure were found and love for vaping came into place. I have kicked the need for cigarettes and only have love for vaping.

I started out with 48mg/ ml strength juice down to today, I'm at 3mg/ ml strength juice.   I think it's due to the efficiency of my devices.

Up coming posts won't be of new gear or the latest fad. There are plenty of YouTube videos for that. Rather, I will be posting stuff I use and not given to me just for review purposes, so you will get actually data from a used device not one that is meant solely for review purposes that was hand picked from the manufacturer for review.   I'll also be posting modifications I have done to make my vaping experience better.

So I hope you stick around and tell your friends about this place. I won't review anything unless I have used it for at least a month. Thanks for stopping by.
