Planning to get a Nemesis clone later today, have questions I can't find answers to.

So I can get set up with a Nemesis clone for ~100 dollars. This includes the mod (50$ after tax), Battery(23$ dollars after tax), Battery charger(the rest of the cost). Now I'm wondering if I even need a new battery. I'm currently using my Kamry IMR 18650, 2000mAh 3.7v batteries with the kamry charger. I plan to use my mod at 1.0-1.5ohms for now.

Would I need to buy new batteries and a charger? And should I invest in an ohm reader(about 20$ after tax). I only ask about the ohm reader because I think I could just use my Kamry k200+ to read the ohms.

This is all from my B&M store.

Edit: In case anyone is still here, I got the mod, two AWT ICR 18650 1500mAh batteries, a 2 bay charger, and a needle point bottle.

You should definitely invest in an ohm reader.

As far as the battery, you'll want to find its amp limit to match that to your resistance levels.

I can't find anything on google as to what the amp limit is for my batteries, should I just not use them then?

I'm new to rba so I just recently learned most of this.

The amp limit for the battery is important in determining if it can handle your resistance. A 30 amp battery can handle as low as 0.2 ohms. A 10 amp can get to .45 ohms.

That's just FYI. I have no idea what your battery's output is but it'd be good to know. I think passing the amp limit is very bad news.

If I didn't know I'd play safe and get a new one. The Sony vtc4 and vtc5 are the popular ones. Both 30 amp limits. About $10 online.

Trash the Kamry battery. Get depending on what ohms you will be vaping at get Sony 30 amps (.6 ohms to.14), or 10 amp Panasonic/Orbtronics (for anything above .6 ohms) This is maximising your mAh per battery per needs. Never ever cheap on your battery. I mean never cheap out on your batteries and charger. These are the two things that can cause you the most problems. For the charger get any Xtar, or Nightcore i2/i4. As for the ohm reader it will be more accurate than your k200+.

I understand it should be more accurate but if I'm not trying for crazing low ohms, as long my current mod is reading above 1.2 ohms, it should be fine, right? I could just be wrong and need to be told otherwise.

Any built in ohm reader can be as far as .2 ohms off.

First off what kind of battery, 23+ tax for any mod battery is high, also what type of nemmy clone? They can be had for 30-40$ on eBay...my B&M sells sony vct5s for 12 a pop.

Ehpro nemesis, and buying online isn't really an option. I didn't ask what kind of batteries. I might have heard the guy on the phone wrong and the charger might have been more than the batteries but the total came out to just shy of 100$.

I wouldn't pay much more than 30 bucks for a Nemesis clone. Plenty of places online to get one for that. I got an HCigar from thriftyecig.com. Shipping was fast and added one dollar to the price.

Sony VTC5's are 10 bucks at illuminationsupply.

Intellicore i4 charger is $15.40 thru Amazon.

If you want to support your local B&M, go for it. Or, support them by buying $50 worth of juice from them with the money you saved.

I can't buy online for this. I'd love to save some money but currently can't.

I might hold off on the charger though, I do have an amazon gift card I could use there.

Would my current Kamry charger work for other batteries while I wait on shipping?

I have seen people post issues with that kit charger. It may or may not work. You can skip the charger if you use this site for ohms law and coil building. It has both. Spend the 20 dollars on a battery charger instead of the ohm reader. You can use the K200+ as an interim checker.
