Vaporkings Joye 510 vs clone review-Surprise! - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Here's a review of a clone up against a real Joye 510. Rob at Vapor Kings
is selling the clone parts right now for a reduced price. He's down to only white and is wanting to know if there is enough demand to warrant him ordering some more and keeping them in stock. Watch the review, then let Rob know or leave something in the comments to let him know if you guys are interested or not. I've been really happy with mine, no horror stories to report!

Do they both use the same charger? Are the parts interchangeable?

Hinterscher · 11-03-2009, 06:56 PM

completely interchangeable with everything Joye 510. No problems whatsoever.

cool, thanks...

The clones are pretty good. They work better for me at 6v. But at 3.7v, I can tell a difference in vaping. seems like thinner vapor, slightly less throat hit, much smoother and cooler vapor.

I didn't notice much difference in throat hit or vapor, but I don't normally notice much throat hit except for maybe my 201. I do like the smoother vaping much better. Put it this way, my Joye is in my husband's stash and the clone is in my stash!

I could deal with a minor reduction in vapor or throat hit if the dern things would be consistent from atty to atty. The quality control on the Joye units is poor.... it's not uncommon for me to have a 25%+ fallout rate.. right out of the box (not completely dead units mind you... just vapor dwarfs).

If the SLB clones are consistent.... then I'm going with them.

I can't tell you about that, I've only had just the one clone. It works perfect, though.

I asked Rob how his clones were as far as being bad and he replied as follows:

"I've never had DOA on Joye OR the clone atomizers... 2 bad batteries since I've sold Joye and zero returns on the clone batteries so far.

It possible some have died beyond the 14 days and they haven't said anything...but no DOAs."

He also just said I twisted his arm and he's ordering 100 more, so feel free to try away and save a couple bucks!

I desperately wanted to try one of these, so I asked Rob to send me a couple of the white ones that he had left. They showed up today (FAST shipping) and I am currently vaping some ECOpure out of one.

I've crawled all over these things.. tested them, measured them.. analyzed them... and I'm pretty sure I know what they are and how they will work for people.

I've sent Rob an EMAIL.. and all wait for a reply from him before I give all of the details. But I will say this.... for many people these SLB 510 atty "clones" are going to be an excellent choice.
