Also, wouldn't having to verify that each entrant was using an "authentic" mod be a nightmare? Some of them are pretty hard to tell.
Do some research into the "Fuhattan." It's a manhattan clone made by the same machinist who broke away from ameravapes. The story is pretty funny. Even the vapor royalty clone o the manhattan is better. Not to mention I've seen SVD clones worm better than real SVDs.(firing button issue)
I've seen magma, plume veil and trident clones that were better quality than the authentics. I'm not saying every clone is better, but authentics aren't 100% perfect all the time either. Unless you go with a Provari(which is a great idea) you normally get little to no warranty and when the authentic fails you just blew 200 on a paperweight.

I've never seen a clone SVD. Where did you run into those?
Yeah, I was wondering that as well. I've never seen any kind of reliable accounts of SVD clones existing. In fact, before DNA 20/30 clone boards there weren't many, if any, clones of regulated mode. Or am I wrong?I've never seen a clone SVD. Where did you run into those?
Some, but not all, authentic makers, offer replacement parts and some offer warranties (Super-T for example offers a lifetime warranty).
problem is they didnt tell the shop until the shop already had the prizes. so the shop had to mail the prizes back.
Actually yeah, I was thinking about this too. A majority of clones are really near-impossible to tell unless you had the authentic readily available to compare.
Aside from that, different people use different definitions of a clone.
Some insist that the kebo russian is a clone of the svoemaesto kayfun.

They donated some gifts to use as prizes in a Ohio cloud contest, then tell the shop owner that only authentics are allowed to enter any contest that uses their items as prizes.
I hear ya brother.
I wanted to enter a NASCAR race and all I got was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about needing special cars, safety gear, blah, blah, blah.
I took my Prius and went home.
Stringplucker, what store in Dayton was it? PM me as it might not be kosher to name names on the Forum.
