Quality wise are they equal?
I'm asking mostly because I want originals but some times I have a hard time finding the vape I want yet find clones of it everywhere.
There are many manufacurers, some make bad quality clones, others make such a good copy you won't be able to tell it apart from the original.
They can cost less then 1/10 of the original price.

I don't see how that makes sense because the originals I see are like max $70 and I've never seen a clone for $7... Besides the MCV Panzer I've never seen a vape over a hunnit dolla dolla bill y'all ($100) haha
that's one good reason.
some clones have been touted as better than the originals. i can't personally verify, though.
I have had real and clones and some clones are so good I've sold the real ones as a 200 dollar metal tube is a waste of cash when I can have the same thing for 40 bucks.
Some clones suck, you gotta research which of the many companies really nailed each particular clone. It varies mod to mod.
But yeah, I'm done buying the real thing.

Let me give you an example:
An original Nemesis mod costs 200$+
A high quality Nemesis clone costs around 40$ (Hcigar)
And you can get Nemesis clones for as low as 16$ (FT)

Been wondering this myself. Responses makes sense and I think it would be great for someone like me who is curious about mods but is unsure if it is for them...this way, you can test it out to get the "feel" for it to see if it is worth pursuing yet without spending tons of cash on something they may not like. I think I am definitely gonna go with a Nemesis Mod soon as a dripper to see if I can really get into this thing..thanks for the post.

Hcigar clones are really good quality, I have an hcigar turtle ship v2, love it. And for $31 shipped to my door I can't complain

I'm about to pull the trigger on a nemesis, a hammer and I still want to get a hades clone. I haven't seen an hcigar hades, but the tobeco clone is good quality

1. Because many can't afford original inflated prices
2. Because pricing is manipulated by originals by deliberately shorting the market.
3. Price fixing is maintained by originals by limiting distribution to one or a select few sites that have agreed to no discounting.
4. Using the above to create a "Hype" of being hard to get.
go to vape rev they have a lot of orginals. Most are out of stock. Some orginals will hit a certain number on the serial number and then stop making them. Once that happens then you have to find an idividual to purchase from. I heard that the carvela will only go to 999 and then stop. I have no idea where they are at, but that is what i heard. 101 vape has a spot that has some high end ones as well on their site and clones too.
Photos of originals and clones will look exactly the same.
If you want to compare, go to a local vape shop, feel them and take them apart to notice the difference.
I have a carvela clone coming and i was on hcigar yesterday and looks like they are doing a flip clone. That i would just be interesting in seeing since v3tronic is all over the place threatining to sue anyone that makes a clone of their device.
