Purchase Advice

I'm just wondering if someone can tell me if I'm on the right track with an order I've put together on Fasttech?

So far I've picked out:
Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod
Switch Magnets for Nemesis Mod
UltraFire 18350 3.7V 1200mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries
Samsung ICR18650-26F 18650 3.7V 2600mAh Rechargeable Lithium Batteries
Variable Wattage Kick Module for Mechanical Mod / PV
Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer
Connection Parts for Kayfun v3.1 RDA & Nemesis Mod

Does this look ok?

Good selection, Namesis Mod is really hard to beat and a Kayfun to go with it.

Lot of people do not like Ultrafire batteries, Samsung look like they are a better battery so far, you will need some coils or Kanthal wire to make coils to go with the Atty....and don't forget fluid

Check out if the Kick module from Fastech is good, I honestly don't know but what I do know is that they can be problematic from some vendors.....but jump in by all means....do you really need a kick ? I have a variable wattage mod here and I never use it, way prefer the mech mod

Looks good except for the batteries.

I would go for either of these 18650's(both in stock) you can't use protected batteries with a kick and these are rated for 30amps

and these are much better 18350's (IMR chemistry)

I've had to cancel the Kayfun twice as it keeps going to restocking so that could hold up your whole order.

I would get a RDA as well , this one looks good on the Nemesis and is easy to build on for begginers.

remember to keep you orders under 22 euros or you could be hit with VAT and expect a long wait

Thanks for the advice, this will be my first time using a mod, at the moment I have a ego cc, emode and ecom, I quite like the vw so that's why I thought I would like a kick.
I don't know what a coil or Kanthal wire is tbh, do Fastech sell them?
Is there any chance you could post a link for me please?

Cheers, I've changed over the batteries and added that RDA to the list.

Oh and do you have something to check your ohm's and voltage?

something like this will do

and a vid on how to use it

And you'll need to charge those batteries

I already have a multimeter, I totally forgot a charger though.

Get a copper nemesis instead of the SS one, less voltage drop and they look great. I'd also recommend a trident instead of the patriot, also very easy to build on and a great vape.

My FT Trident didn't thread properly on my FT SS Nemesis.

I got a Copper Nemesis from FT, one of the early batches and it was a wreck, I've sent it back. The new ones look great though.

I am not so sure if Nicochochrome wire or Kanthal is better tbh....use whatever you have ordered ...kinda splitting hairs over them to see which is better....some pluses, some cons.....

If somebody ever wants to use mesh they really should use Kanthal.
You can use Nichrome but the amount of time wasted when there's a short against the mesh and the Nichrome snaps is a pain in the bollocks.
Some people say there's a taste difference, but nothing I've noticed.

The spec vs price difference for Kanthal A vs D is much more clear-cut. Never a need for Kanthal A*




*just gonna leave a "maybe" here in case they fnd out Kanthal A cures blindness of doesn't cause epilepsy in our second-born or something.

Ahh...I have avoided Genesis type atties as there seems to be way too much faffing about with them.

Did see a post by Rolygate on ECF where he said he preferred Kanthal over Niochrome, but have not seen a spec sheet, one thing I have noticed is that if I forget to torch or dry burn R/N/R premades there is a foul residue on them compared to Kanthal. Torching or Dry burning removes it completely IMO
