Hey it might be the Best Damn Bottle on the Face of the Earth. And comes in a Hand Made felt lined Honduras Mahogany box.
Just seems a Little Pricey to Me.
Only if the cap is gold plated though. We all have our own lines to cross

The primary compound is albino dolphin cheeks, molded in the finest of baby seal flipper bones and finished with a gold cap refined from the sluice waste in the blood diamond mines in Africa.
It's a good bottle, I'm sure of it.
Red kit and grey standalone ordered! Now I waitThanks for posting @ThaFuzz I picked up the spare bottles too but really want to grab the soysauce bottles...
No problem, i think somebody over in squonkporn said something about these and i did some google fu and found them. Compared to price and availability of the authentic, the clone was a no brainer.now if mine could just make it through all the dammed snowand ice the 3 miles from the p.o. to my house ill let you know if its worth the money and the (longer than id like) wait.....
My Frankenfake is here! Yay.
Kinda sick, didn't even want to go to the mailbox, but I did...
Haven't vaped it yet, still fiddling with a package from China and looking at stuff thinking "what IS this? I ordered this?" LOL
But already a question.
Fire button has a nice, light, clicky feel to it.
Until I put a batter in. That jams the bottle up against the chinesium + strip so hard that while it looks like it will fire, you need to press pretty hard...
Same for you?
Do I have a fat battery (LG HG tootsie roll)?
Do I reshape the strip?
Do I seek a softer/thinner bottle?

What bottle did it come with? Is it the FIB clone? Are they anything like the real FIB?
FDA BOC
Same shape, but stiff...rather than replace an FIB with one of the extras I bought, I think I'll probably end up replacing this with an FIB in the Frankie...
I did also order these - bottles for the HCigar VT Inbox, without noticing that the cap has no hole.
These though, are kind of soft and nice. The cap is just a "plug" - no thread - but seems pretty secure...
I think I will try drilling a hole through the top, and see what's what.
Because something I am ALWAYS looking for is a bottle with an available CLOSED cap - for travel.
Not sure it that would hold up to air pressure of a flight or not.

That sucks. Ordered a set of 5 with my last order.....Same shape, but stiff...rather than replace an FIB with one of the extras I bought, I think I'll probably end up replacing this with an FIB in the Frankie...

Me too.
Since it's literally "crammed" in the Frankie, I think softer might be important. We'll see.
I might actually swap it for an FIB that's in a Reo, where a little stiffer might not be a big deal.
Or just get some more FIBS if I end up convinced that's my preferred bottle...
Was worth a shot at $3.88/5

Frankenfake.... i dig it, frankenfake it is....mine came in today as well (black kit)
Its just you with the button. Im using the same battery and a max vg juice and i feel like the button is ok.
The bottle.... and the hose..... on the other hand...... are aweful. Its a much harder plastic than the coppervape or dripbox bottles and the hose is too soft (i wish they made the bottle from the stuff the hose is made from and vice versa) the hose is already a leak point that got wired shut. I drilled the pin on the box out to 2mm instead of 1mm that it was from the maker. Squonk hole is too small and bottle sits too deep. 510s are not adjustable so there may be a vt510 in the future and softer bottles are a must.
Atty here folks is worth the price of admission. Gonna grind the pin down tomorrow but other than that its great. Bottom airflow, 4mm post holes 510 or wide bore drip tips.i ditched the little spit gaurd it came with (it just screws out, no big deal to remove it) an now im lovin it, on a larger regulated squonker.

Ok, so updates... its been less than a 12hours with this thing and it is eating my batteries
Im gonna have to figure out a way around that, good thing i have wraps at the house and extra batteries for the cv if this thing pisses me off.

Round the contact side of the contacts. My intention with the silver sheeting I ordered.
FDA BOC
@EddieAdams i think you are right and i will try that, they seem to be fairly well rounded, but they are just thin enough to catch under the wrap at the negative terminal.
Ok, varitube bf 510s ordered (use code "varitube10" for 10%off) now to go bottle hunting, plus i put up a video with this and the cv just a quick review and gripe session. Ill put a how to up when i get the vt510s and silver strips in and ill see if it helps
Thanks for watching (its in english, unlike most of the other vids ive found on the clone or authentic)

Great video considering what it was shot on, but you seemed to get you're points across very well. I think the VT 510 would be a huge step up on both of those devices. The Frankie looks like it would fit the FIB bottle that originally held the top spot prior to the silicone BFX bottles.
Just an FYI about the soy bottles, there were a bunch of people using those in their Reo mini's back a couple years ago and most found out real quickly the failure rate on them were 3 of 5, one of the side seams split and their devices quickly were drenched in liquid, not to mention themselves and their surrounding area. There were some that had some luck with them, but I would put that at less than 10%... I noticed the links provided earlier here were a couple of the same vendors so that would tell me they are the same bottles as well, so be careful to anyone that uses them!!
Thanks @muzichead , i try not to "um" a lot.... glad the points came over clear. Thanks for the heads up about the soy sauce bottles, i guess they are out of the running. gonna have to find a softer bottle that fits. So already the plan is change the bottle, change the 510, and replace "chinesium"(again thanks @Train2 , im gonna use that)contact strip. Well, i guess $20 for an enclosure, a button, and an atty aint a bad way to start my first diy squonkbox. And ill probably end up replacing the button eventually anyway (9mm or .380 shell most likely) oh well, fun cheapish project...
