Clone batteries and tanks

[Jason96p]

New to vaping and the forum. I recently bought a kanger protank 3 mini and a vision spinner 2 battery from a local vape shop without knowing any better. After getting it home and doing some research on the brands I noticed they were both clones. After that I did some research on some online vendors and found one I was confident had authentic products and ordered another protank 3 mini and enjoying it. I can't say i'm too disappointed in the clone ive just noticed better airflow in the authentic. I still use both for separate flavors of juice. I have not gotten a new battery yet though, the clone is working fine I just have charging issues with it. Anyone else have clone experiences?

Clone attys are fine , I would stay away from clone regulated mods and batteries , that is fake batteries.

Clone attys are often fine. Clone mods/batteries can be a crapshoot. Some are great and some are garbage. On the ego batteries, I would buy authentic. The clones often die quickly or worse, explode during charging.

Way back in the day when I was using variable pass through ego-style mods, I bought what I thought at the time was an authentic eGo-V Mega and later found out it wasn't when it caught fire in my brothers hand.

I mean when I saw my brothers facial expression I was laughing because cmon. It was priceless.

Regardless some clone battery's (18650 or ego style) can be quite dangerous.

But from then on I try to buy only authentic mods unless it's something like the smpl where it's only three pieces and is kinda hard to manufacture a bad batch.

RDAs on the other hand, most of mine are clones. As they (for the most part) do the same thing. The only issue I've had with some clone RDAs is the screws in the positive and negative posts often strip, or back out of the post after continuous use.

I do plan on getting an authentic battery, I did not buy either clone intentionally.

After going through ego after ego, my final take on those, was to buy something, battery wise that was of quality. The price is almost always worth it for the power source to keep you off the cigs. If you are having charging issues already, and don't want to step up to something like an istick or aspire esp or something along those lines, the aspire vv or kanger vv tend to hold up just so long as they are authentic. Hope this was of some help

This is how I've always thought of it. Stay away from clones if there's an electronical aspect. Mech mods..fine. RDA's and tanks...fine. No clone batteries if ANYTHING! Nothing regulated. Stay safe and vape on.
