Free shipping.
The nightmares begin when you:
1. Order loose batteries. (International regulations suck)
2. Order items that are not in stock (ships in 7 days, etc).
Otherwise, my purchase is usually in the US at customs 3 days after ordering.
US custs can hold it up for over a week.

I did neither of those and my shipment is still in transit almost 2 months later.......
So now I know your stance on clone mods, but do you think its worth it to get authentic RDAs or gets clones of them as well?

Depends on the RDA. Some very nice RDAs are only 30$-40$.
Almost not worth it to get the clones when they are that cheap, although most clones are very close.
One of my best atomizers cost $30.
Legit Youde IGO w-6 5 post.
Awesome dripper. Worth every cent.
The igo w-6 looks like a pita to build on. I just picked up the authentic mutation x for 30 and its great
First couple times. But once you build them you have a couple months for the coils. They're a great atty. Great flavor and throat hit. Worst thing I can say about them is I change my wicks daily and that can get tedious compared to a three post single or dual coil if you're in a hurry.
Bahaha, the Clone Brigade is back at it.
Good on you for wanting to do the right thing and go authentic, OP. Don't listen to the devils on your shoulder.
Nice mod, by the way!

I went and pulled the trigger on the authentic. I think everybody should atleast have 1 authentic mod and atty in their lineup
Lol clone brigade.
Don't You mean smart money brigade?
I expect to get what I pay for.
I won't buy a $200 mod.
I won't buy $100 t shirt either.
IMHO, It's too much for these simple things.
To each their own, but don't make inflammatory remarks like that when someone spends their money differently than you.
It only makes you look like a tool.
I'm gonna get some heat for this on this forum, but I've got a Tesla Oros clone coming from eBay after seein how nice this mod looks. As the poster above I just don't have the funds to be able to drop a considerable amount more money on a copper tube with some magnets just becsuse it's authentic. The prices they're charging is absurd for what you're getting, imo. Some of us can't drop over $200 for something that a $40 clone can do nearly the same.
But I digress, how do you owners of the authentics like the mod? Does it live up to its herald and hit like a freight train? Hows the switch? Threads? Anything you don't like?

I hope nobody got that clone lol
I bought a Tesla clone last week and it looks just like that one.
It looks nice and feels decent in the hand but there are a few things I don't like about the clone. Besides the fact that it's like an inch + bigger than my Stingray clone and obviously quite a bit bigger than the Authentic.
A) the switch, while pretty smooth, is wobbly as hell when the mod is loaded with a battery and an atomizer almost to the point that if you look at it the wrong way it may fall over.
B) The magnets, if you can even call them that since the switch doesn't attach to the battery neg like my Stingray clone does, are so weak that I do not feel comfortable keeping this clone in my pocket while there's a battery in it. I adjusted the positive and negative posts to the point where it is pretty much incapable of firing when standing since the switch activates below the rim of the switch housing but I just don't trust it and must unscrew the switch housing before setting it down, just in case.
C) None of my atomizers sit flush on the top, the gap is not THAT bad but it's noticeable and not something I experience on my $30 Stingray clone (which hits hard as hell and looks great). This is just a pet peeve but since the atomizer and mod both have adjustable pins I'm not worried since it is making full contact.
D) And last but not least the damn threading in the top cap for the atomizer is not even centered. Again it's not THAT bad but if you have a topper mounted and turn the Oros clone in hand you can see that the hole is not centered.
But there's something to be said about buying a clone that was made before the authentic even shipped out and I guess you live and learn. But this experience has made me interested in finally treating myself to a REAL mod and getting an actual Oros but I want to hear some feedback before dropping the $200+.
Also, does anyone know if you can return something like this to an eBay merchant if the damn thing is a dangerous? Or am I better off buying stronger magnets and maybe salvaging this thing. Like I said, it's a looker but thats where the good things end. That and the fact that this mod can definitely be used as a small blackjack if need ever arises. Lol..

I can tell you that all those issues you are having with that clone are non existant on the authentic. It feels expensive unlike other mods ive felt in my hand. The switch is as sturdy as can be the magnets are strong as all hell. to the point of if you take the switch apart and the magnets flip and stick together, they are a PITA to get apart. The locking ring is one of the beefiest ive ever seen. every atty I have sits flush and most deff on center lol. Im deff happy with my purchase. As far as trying to salvage the clone, id use it as a paper weight. Its not worth the stress nor from what it sounds like, the hazzard of using it IMO.
BUTTTTTTT thats just my opinion. Take it for what its worth.

I have the original and it is one of the best if not the best mod i own. I have about 12 clones of other mods and a few originals I will never go back to a clone. The aria is one of the best hitting mods i have tried. There is a problem with the new batch however thought it was my fault after cleaning the fire button sticks. Surprisingly Beyond Vape called me last nite to tell me there was a problem with the bottom pin and that i could send them back the mod for repair or they will send me a new pin or they will send me a new pin and i can do it myself. This to me is a quality company who stands behind there products.
As far as voltage drop there is none yes clones can do it to or close to it but when your clone goes bad just spend more money buy a new one.

i have the clone and while the botton button comes off it has the same super tick heft, best threads i have ever tried, super smooth button action, and damn low volt drop. best 40 bucks i have spent. Only bummer is it doesnt lock so it stays in house which im fine with cuz i dont wanna drip it and destroy its beaty. But really the clone is really well done, i was takin aback by how well it was done and i was worried cuz i got it from angelcigs usa warehouse. I have absolutly none of the above problems with mine...haha nice. Also hes compairing a pic of the 18650 clone and the 18500 authentic
