It surprises me that people are surprised... Not saying it's right or wrong but honestly they clone, clones...
iphone 5 was cloned a day after release.

 

[E_DeCastro]

yeah, clearly if there is a market there will be clones. you mean to tell me all car manufactures are completely original designs?

 

[HDVaper]

Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kemosabe]

nice fat wick hole, and its next to the pos post. could be promising.

 

[crxess]

fasttech has been selling a similar mod for over a month now.
Hybrid in all colors except Stainless(chrome?) That one has a 510 connection

Picture will probably change once they actually get a production model built - lol.

Lol a BMW clone! I bet if you replace the emblems with original it would be hard to tell the difference unless you closely inspect it.

 

[supermarket]

I'm all FOR cloning....so long as it is the PRODUCT cloned, and not the BRAND (don't copy the logos).

Here's the deal guys. Anyone who was willing to pay $200 dollars for a vape product....is going to pay that regardless. The people who buy the clones are people like me, who wouldn't pay $200 for a vape product in the first place (people LIKE me....I haven't bought any clones of anything...Im happy with a basic PV and some pro tanks/ carto tanks).

The people who buy the $200 product don't want the clones anyway. The clones give the rest of us a chance to have a neat vape toy.

These mechanical mods are so freaking overpriced its ridiculous. Its a steal, brass, or aluminum tube that holds a battery if anything they should be cheaper than vv and vw devices. Im glad they are getting cloned

But the buttery smooth threads!

I spent a good chunk of change on my electric angel. I think it was worth every penny. It's a bit sentimental for me due to the fact my mother is from Finland, she moved here when she was 18. Other mods I'm not so sentimental for. Such as the caravela or chi you. I may pick of one of those clones and not even bat an eye.

 

[Ref Minor]

It's like women, at different times in your life you are looking for one to spend your life with so you spend more and get one with good threads, other times you are just having fun for a while so a clone is fine and you can live with the imperfections.

a little but of bullet case resizing lube goes a long way. my M16 clone is buttery smooth.

The markup is likely ridiculously high on them, but that goes for a lot of luxury/premium products. Bottom line, if someone wants to spend that money for authenticity, that's their prerogative, but I sure as heck will not judge anyone for getting a clone that functions practically identically for a fraction of the price.

LOL.. face palm on face.. and the grass is green..

 

[shawnski]

Let's not forget the originals are hand turned on a lathe not mass produced but I agree cloning give vapers not in a financially stable situation a opertunity to try a device you need to stalk forums and wait on long lists a pay outrageous prices for.
The thing that pisses me off is all this talk and hate for cloning , have we all forgot the soul reason we all started vaping.
It's all about not smoking,!!!!!!!
But somehow it turned into a huge you copied my design and political rant on how china did this and china is taking over.
I thought china was the one who created the e cig. Oh well enough because I am just about not smoking and I will buy what I want....l and I don't care who says they never bought a china device or clone product, bull, you have........

 

[minimalsaint]

Let the clone wars begin! I suppose we were overdue for another one of these threads.

 

[Camaroboi13]

Lol, if you read my sig you can surely tell which side of the fence I am on. I chose the clone simply because I was tired of waiting on the real thing and I ended up buying 3 clones for the price of one real deal. Simple as that. Are there differences? Ofcourse there are. Do I care? Not one bit

And they like Santa and Christmas. Gotta hand it to those communists. They'll throw you in jail for being a Christian, but to sell to Americans they'll pretend to like it. Hell, they make all the Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Years stuff we buy anyway.
