My Kingtu never gave me any problems. Neither did my authentic, of course. But, Chuckie was another story. I'd fix one problem, then another would show up. And when I finally had him working the W deck just gave up. coils were shorting every 24 hours in the end, and I gave up.

So now he sits on an atty stand just looking at me. The only reason he didn't go in the garbage is in case any of you need parts. Nothing wrong with the tank and chimney so if anyone needs them, just let me know.

I have the Ivogo with all 5 decks and its spot on! absolutely nothing wrong with mine :) one of the better clones I have bought over the years and, 1000x better than the regular squape reloaded clone I bought. it would seem Ivogo learned their lesson :)

Has anybody played around much with the B-deck (the new hollowed out one)? I was thinking of getting one for Chuckie's less evil sister (mine :laugh: ) and was wondering how it compares to the W-deck I'm using now, in terms of flavor/wicking/performance/etc. I use rayon though. Dunno if that would make it leaky or not, as rayon doesn't really like fat tails.

Gonna order a short red tank/chimney too, when I can swing that (I have an extra base). That was my one complaint with the SqR - it's so damn tall! :-x I love it though - I still use it everyday. I think the new shorter chimney would up the flavor too, right?

Cindy, I've wondered if those decks will fit the old Ivogos, and I'm guessing not. It had bigger posts than the authentic or other clones.
Hmmm, too bad. I got so excited when I saw them at FT for under $4. So the holes on the deck for the posts were too small?

Would still like to hear opinions of the B-deck - if it's worth it, I might spring for the whole setup instead. Thanks, Roxie.

I think they might be. I was eyeing them, too. And someone had offered me a new W deck, but I bet they won't fit.

Great news Nelson. Gearbest is carriyng the version with 5 decks at pre-sale. Is it possibly the Ivogo clone? Any ideas?

I would bet it's made by ivogo based on the fact it comes with the bell cap also :) but really, who knows ;)
That's what threw me, Nelson - Gina at 3F confirmed that the bell capped one is from Ivogo, but I didn't see the bell cap in the FC one. But since yours is OK, I'm not so worried now. :)

Machining looks great. As to ematal coating or alloy I can't tell you anything as I don't know what an alloy is and how I could tell the diffrence to a coating. Sorry for that!

Perhaps @nelsonm64 can.

Still haven't found the time to try it. Will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime I'm vaping on my new Goblin Clone that I got yesterday. Very nice and very good taste! Sort of hopped into my basket at foalecig, accident.......:2cool:

Is that ematal just a coating again or an alloy? How's the machining?
I think it's more of an anodizing process either way (authentic or clone), not an alloy. I say this because they look an awful lot like my Calphalons. :laugh: But seriously, I think it's all just anodized aluminum (some better than others).
