3D Auto Dripper Clone from Vapingtech-First look and Impressions

[JollyRogers]

Got my shipping notification on the 3D again. Hopefully this time it's for real

@Jizzles, the silicon o-rings are no big deal. I just replace them anyways eventually.

Looks like a label was printed for mine, too (according to eBay, anyways). Of course, I don't remember if it's always been there or not, but I'm being hopeful.
This is the most I've ever spent on a clone anything. If it wasn't for the youtube video, and the decent Origen they sent me I'd be a lot more worried.

yup my shippping label printed too! cant wait to test this baby out

Sooooo -- outside of waiting for this puppy for who knows how long. It seems to be a win/win for me. I will be placing my order for this one. As far as logos go, as long as it functions well I don't care about that. O-Rings can be replaced. I'm not worried about the leaking as with any tank system that seems to eventually happen. I just think it's kick ...!
Thnx for the info and the video Twisted. You're one funny guy!

I think the only thing I have bought that wasn't a clone was my eGos when I first started..I'm a Clone Head.

In case you don't receive their newsletter, here's their blog about it.

They didn't ship them together? I'd email them and ask.

They were going to hold my order until the chinese new year, or "whatever the fux it is..."

I had them go ahead and ship them separate on Saturday. They left las vegas literally right after I posted. ..mailman is going to think I have issues getting like 9 different boxes over the next 5 days.

Somebody hit them up and ask if they are getting the Atomic clone that's on Alibaba. I emailed last week and didn't get a response. Would go nice with the rest of their Chi-llection.

[prophetr1]

I got mine. Just cleaned it in a vodka bath. It does have a silicon o-ring and center post is silver plated. I had to clean out the burrs on the air holes. Threads into Nemmy just fine. One issue. If I tighten the ground post all the way, and then put top piece on, the top piece seats to far and blocks the air hole partially. Also, because of this, there is less room in the plunging action and the tank capacity. If I loosen the ground piece (the one with 2 ground screws) a couple turns, the air holes end up where they should. I am not sure if this is the same with the real/orginal, so will take a look at some reviews of it. Otherwise, seems fine. Off to build it.

ETA: This seems to be the case with the real one also...

BTW, postage was short, so I got a notice from my PO. I had to pay 63 cents I think it was... because the weight was wrong on package. Because I have a PO box and happen to go while they where open, I was able to pick it up.

I built a single 1ohm "macro" coil, 28g 9 wrap 2mm coil with 2mm silica. In 350 hybrid mode, I had a choice, add beauty ring and extend switch post, or no ring and switch sticking way out. I filled it by wetting wick, and then put about 1.5ml in while it was depressed, then releasing so it sucked in the e-liquid. Seemed to work and is vaping nicely. Time will tell if it's a keeper or not.

Reach out to them! Maybe they'll give you the $.63 or a discount code lol.

My brother built his like an origen with dual vertical micro coils. He says he likes it more like that.

The real one is like that too? So how's the build quality? It sounds like it's 1:1 so far. I won't be able to pick mine up until Monday.

I have not experienced this on my authentic 3D..... I'll check it out on my next rebuild.

Build quality is pretty good IMO. Hard to tell which cloner did this… but the boxing looks to be Tobeca. The only problem I have with it is I had to clean the air holes out… As far as a 1:1, I wish I could tell you, I wasn't willing to drop over $155 for the real one, but looking at the vids, it appears what I thought was an issue, is not - could be wrong though. Usually I do not buy clones, but I didn't want to drop that kind of coin on something I wasn't sure of, plus I didnt like the logo and it was rather hard to get one. I was glad to see the clone to try it out. The logo is not that bad in person… but still hate it & it looks as if I could sand it off successfully on the clone. Will use it for a while, and if it becomes my goto, maybe get the real deal. I still like my OrigenV1 - a lot - for dripping at home and occasionally at work, and I usually use my Vapers for work and out/about/driving… plus have a micro-stick coming, and going to use that with a spheroid. Man I got to much "stuff".

I'm really interested to know the answer to this. Looking at Todd's review, it seems the clone has a problem, but another reviewer of the authentic 3D loosens his grounding base to allow it to hold more juice for the plunge action. I really am not sure, but I can drip a lot of liquid in there and release, and it sucks it up.
