BTW--I got a Nikon 2x tele extender on ebay pretty cheap. That might do the trick for you. Love how you can adapt so many lenses so easily to the EOS-M. Nikon manual lenses on Canon bodies are a staple with stop motion animation because they don't flicker.
Question... does it make more sense to go with Nikon Teleconverter as oppose to Canon's even if I use Canon adapters on the Nikon lenses that I use?
Because if I do use a Nikon Teleconverter then that means I'll still need to use an adapter on it and just use the Nikon lens on the converter WITHOUT the adapter in between.
I thought of this only because I wasn't sure Nikon glass going through a Canon glass would cause some weird artifacts or something strange... better or worse who knows?
May be worth to try both haha but here's what I found online for used Nikon teleconverters:

Which one of these is the one that you use?
Thanks, @dfort!
Wow, look at all those teleconverters. I'm pretty sure the one I have is the "real" Nikon TC-201 but I'll have to double check when I get home. I only have an EOS-M and the Nikon to Canon EF-M adapter is easy to mount and remove.
I do have some Redrock Micro Nikon to Canon EF adapters that use set screws to make a solid connection and can see how a Canon teleconverter would be easier to deal with. Guess you're going to have to try out both to see which works best for you. :D
Of course using manual lenses you don't need a teleconverter with electronics connections so the Nikon manual adapter is less expensive. About $50. I got mine along with a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens and an extension tube so I'm not really sure what I paid for it.
get the nikon. u want the adapter to be as close to the glass of your taking lens as possible. besides, nikon coatings on both lenses will ensure that color doesnt change when u use teleconverter
Little offtopic:
I alwas used the Tc-16A on Nikon bodies. Owned 3 of these ofc only the modified version which enabled me to autofocus my Nippon Kogaku manual lenses:
