Holy Sh*t

i just had my first F up with my nemi!!!

so im casually chilling at my desk, pulling a puff so now and then.

just pulled a few nice drags and put the nemi down.

after about so 5-10 minutes i pick it up again, and this dam thing is SMOKING HOT.

i mean so hot i cant even touch it. i got the skrik of my life- im still shaking here

i quickly disassembled it, threw the battery out but turns out the battery is cool as ice, the atty is dam dam hot.

took it off the nemi with some tissue and placed it on the aircon

what went wrong? i dont think i locked it when i put it down

the russians been on the aircon now for 5 minutes and still darn hot

Now that is scarey!

disassemble check contacts
rewick
also check insulators you may have melted something

thanks

will check that

cant i drop it on the svd and check if it fires?

Riaz · 14/4/14

ok popped in on the svd, its reading the resistance of the coil, and is firing it

will it be safe to vape it?

Metal Liz · 14/4/14

wow that's some scary stuff @Riaz!!!

hope you get it sorted out

When good nemi go bad...

I had this happen as well with the Nemi. Was in front of the PC, noticed vapour coming out of the top of the KF3.1. Not a lot, just a few whisps. Immediately pulled the battery out, placed it on a tiled floor in case it had a thermal runaway, and then left the Nemi to cool down. All was fine luckily, but the switch design on the nemesis allows it to fire without there being much pressure on it.

and i always lock mine before putting down

i didnt even notice any wisps coming out. i expected the battery to be smoking hot, but it wasnt at all.

will i be save to use the russian on the svd?

im assuming the coil didnt short out as it still fires on the svd?

yip good place to start

Depends on the resistance of the coil, and more importantly, what battery you have in the SVD. It should be safe if your coil is over 1ohm and your battery is comfortable putting out over 5amps.

I don't think the coil would have shorted out. If you keep the fire button compressed the battery will just drain and the coil will glow red hot. At some point the battery will be fully discharged, and if you keep it pressed it will do serious harm to the battery. Sometimes the kanthal will pop from being fired, like it does if you over dry burn a PT2 coil. If it does pop then the circuit is broken and it doesnt matter that the button is being pressed.

Oh, and whatever wick you had in there will be toast. Suggest you rewick

the cotton wick is definitely fried

tried taking a drag from it now, tastes like burnt socks

and this happens today, when i left my igol and cotton wick at home

Rowan Francis · 14/4/14

@Riaz , i had this happen regulary with the nemi , i would always forget to lock it before putting it down and as my switch travel distance was minimal it would fire when i put it down .. sometime i would notice it instantly sometime it would cook before i noticed it ..

Riaz · 14/4/14

just did a rewick now, and dry burned the coil

vaping like a boss now

thanks guys for the input

Did the battery survive?

Silver · 15/4/14

Wow Riaz, that is something indeed!
Glad u got it sorted.

I also have the Nemi and although I understand that many of the mechs have bottom firing, I think its really dumb design or perhaps just a pity that putting it down standing upright leads to it occasionally firing. What were the cloners thinking?

yip battery is 100%

at first i thought it was the battery that heated up

well i blame none but myself, it was negligence on my side

i modified the switch with magnets, and therefore accept full responsibility. im not sure if the same would have happened with the springs

johan · 15/4/14

Over time same will happen with spring as it looses tension.

Silver · 15/4/14

Dumb design

johan · 15/4/14

I don't agree, nothing wrong with design, cheap spring yes and the locking ring is there for a reason.

Silver · 15/4/14

I hear you Johan

i can accept using the locking ring on occasion for travel etc.
but to lock it between puffs if you want to put it down is a pain imo

Lets rephrase that. Perhaps my 'dumb design' comment is a bit harsh. Lets say its design makes it not easy to use as a grab and vape device.
