Spring in Nemesis: what for?

A newbee question again... Just received the Nemesis I ordered and there is a spring including in the kit but I am not sure where I should put it? Mounted without this spring and it is working very fine?

In addition, anybody knows at how much watt the kick2 is calibrated from factory? I don't see any marking near the adjusting screw?

 

A nemesis should have 2 springs in the switch, a small one and a large one. Some kits come with an extra spring for a stronger switch press.

The Kick 2 has writing on the circuit board to give you an idea of where to set it. If you turn the screw all the way counter-clockwise you'll be at 5 watts, and all the way clockwise is 15 watts.

 

Thank you for swift answer, indeed when adding this spring (which is the big one I think), the switch press is improved

And for the kick2, looks like this crew is adjusted exactly at the middle position, which should correspond to 10W then: will keep it like it is, seems good when looking at the clouds I am getting now, writing this post

 

And if after reading this, like me, you decide to get out your magnifying glass, you will also notice that the scew on the adjuster has two small indentations on it. Between which indicates exactly what your setting is.

 

Yes, I see that now, should probably go directly to binoculars instead of magnifying glasses 555

 

Yes, "on the circuit board" as Ryan said, didn' t noticed that before, looking only at the blue piece :thank you thank you

 

I can't take credit for that, I didn't notice it either until yourauntbob pointed it out.

 

I guess your questions have been answered. The additional spring is so you can adjust he stiffness of your switch. I personally like it when the spring stands up even with the weight of atty and battery,

Since you have finally gotten it, what do you think of it? Just curious if anyone else shares my thoughts that getting the actual nemesis is worth the additional costs of the clone? I know I am happy with them and I have three.

 

I won't be able to compare with the clones cause this original is the first Nemesis I have... But I can say it is really a piece of art, so beautiful! And also, it makes more clouds with the Kayfun that I was getting before with the Provari, but this is maybe produced by the kick2... Now, waiting for new Kantal wire to make a coil at 0.8 Ohms

 

Original wouldn't be for me. I would probably be too worried to use it. My clone has fallen off the bar onto the concrete a couple of times and as long as it works its just a shrug of the shoulders. I nearly threw one out the window yesterday Lol.
