New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

[Waddle]

The cheaper "W" deck version ships in 24hrs. As of last night, mine has a tracking number.

But as far as I understand Zhenzen is flooded again. Heavy rains. Not sure if this may be holding up your shipment.

 

[Marmaduke]

Damn, I am quite able to flood the squape myself. Don't need help with that

But thanks for the info. It's my first order there. So you know the shop and it's okay?

 

[Waddle]

My first order with them too, but from what I've read here on ECF they're a stand-up company. Normally I buy everything from fasttech but they were slow on the gun for this item.

 

[Sptz]

Anyone received theirs from 3fvape? Thinking of getting it, looks really good

 

[Marmaduke]

Nice to know, but it didn't say anything about estimated shipping time when I ordered it. Also , there's nothing when I look at my order. Something like "preorder, available in 5 days" would have been helpful, or "takes x days for processing", "ships in x days".
They definitely should work on that.

 

[Waddle]

Man they sure go to a lot of trouble to make it look authentic. If the atomizer is as nice as the boxing in the video, I'll be over the moon.

 

[Marmaduke]

The Kingtu and its box were both impeccable. They really cloned the whole box, in German, explanation and all....

But they don't show the box of the one with 5 decks....... makes me worry

 

[Waddle]

I wonder how long before StattQualm has a C&D order out with PayPal like they did with the Squape R? It's part of the reason I ordered so quick.

FastTech still has them but they are logo-less and are now called Tri-Window RTAs. Which personally is not a problem. If they work as good, or as near as possible, as the authentic then I don't need the logo.

I just hope the manufacturer put as much detail into the atty as they did the box.

The five deck version is, more than likely, a different manufacturer than the W deck. I'm guessing the W deck is made by Old Friend Kim whoever that may be. You might get lucky and have the 5 deck made by Kingtu.

 

[Marmaduke]

Wait and see. 316ss could also be from oldfriend, or A-bomb, Kingtu would be fantastic as their Squape R is really good.I think you can't tell who made it, even when it's here.
Or perhaps the experts here can.I'll give it a go when and if it arrives....... never heard of that shop before.....

 

[Waddle]

Well honestly I don't care who makes them. As long as the quality is decent and they are fit for purpose. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. If you've ever seen how clones are made you will see it's a total crap shoot.

 

[Waddle]

Has anybody got theirs yet? Mine should be a week if not days away.

 

[Marmaduke]

Mine is still on "payment accepted" since 19th !! Can't write to the customer service because the site doesn't let me tab on the coicable possibilities when you are on that "contact us" part.Doesn't work proberly, have tried on several days.

It's the one with 5 decks........

Any idea??

 

[Waddle]

That's strange. Can you not get into your order history? There should be a box at the bottom to send messages.

It says there you can add a message to your order. I've done that now. Message sent. And I can see my question there now. Do you mean that box?


I wanted to write to the customer service before and that didn't work and still doesn't.

 

[Waddle]

Yup...that's what I'm talking about. Just keep sending messages, eventually they will answer.

What's the difference between the "revised" and the first Kingtu then? I just got it about a week ago, but I am not sure which version I have. Can you tell somehow?

The first release they cheaped out and glued the glass into the tank shell, which leaked badly, revision was doing it properly with a couple o-rings I've had the Kingtu for quite a while, other then the initial leaky tank which they replaced it has been perfect, mine will aslo work with authentic decks.

 

[nelsonm64]

we'll, let's cross our fingers the "5 deck" version is kingtu. or something as good. $30 gamble

Then I've definitely got the revised one. Thought they forgot the Orings, because there were 2 in the package and I couldn't see them in the tank. Of course they had Orings built in! At the time I realized that the glasstank and one Oring were out and it took me about an hour to get it back in with that f....ing Oring!
At least I can now proudly tell you that the method to get the glass back in with the right amount of pressure is to use the cap of a labello lip moistener. The original replacement tank comes with a sort of tool that resembles a cut off piece of a wooden broomstick.

Yay, original decks will fit..If....I don't get that Squape rs from 3fvape I 'll have a go for the original B-deck.

While I can't contribute much to this thread, I have a question: Does anybody here have an authentic R or an R(s), AND a replica of the same? Do they work the same?
I am just curious - I own two authentic Rs and an authentic R(s). All three are perfect, so I'm wondering.... how much money could I have saved if I went the replica route?

Why beat yourself up? The squapes R fantastic..perfect as you say. Sometimes the clones get it right but mostly they don't quite. They are cheaper but a lot of that is the dearth of design costs since they just copy. Mostly you get what you pay for.
Enjoy the real thing!! Don't worry about the clones...!!
