What at do they call it?

Guess where you can get it?
Fasttech - 16.22 with the XMAS14 coupon.

I ordered one and 2 packs of .5 ohm coils for 28.18

The dimensions look darn close to the originals.
There is a 7 day wait to ship, sort of like a pre-order.
I had to try it at this price :)

This clone doesn't make much sense to me. When you can get the original for 32.00 and the clone is 17.00 I think I'd prefer the original. I do get when a clone is 20.00 and the original is 200.00. That makes good sense. But for the small difference the clone just loses the appeal for me, I'd rather have the original.

yeah, the shady, stealing ideas to turn a quick buck part of business. all I'm saying is, if you want to see new products innovated faster, and you have any kind of respect for the people who actually design things as opposed to replicating, then you should think twice about buying a clone. it hurts the whole industry.

Amen Brother. How is it a street vendor in the city can get arrested for selling "cloned" rolex watches and any vape vendor can sell these clones, a.k.a. ripoffs, like water. Makes no sense to me. Why would I spend money on R&D for new products if I knew they would only serve as plans for my competition to undercut me?

I don't mind spending some extra cash to support an industry innovator, throw in made in USA and I'll pay even more.

I saw this thread when it first showed up, then I went to vapordna and bought my real atlantis. I don't see how people support the clones, your buying fake stuff that god knows who made with god knows what material to god knows what tolerances, never mind you get my point. It's theft plain and simple, and that's something I cannot support

Well, at least they admit it's an Atlantis "style" and are advertising it properly as a copy.

Let us know how it works and it's fit and finish.

I received this today and it is well machined. It screws together and comes apart easily and without any thread issues. The air control valve is clicky and better than on my Peakomizer. I also examined the coils and they do have Aspire engraved on them, but they are clones. They have the same screen on top of the coil and wick.
I have vaped a tank 2mls so far and like it. This is my foray into sub-ohm. The current coil is a .5ohm.

That's it for now. I may come back in a couple or few weeks to give an update.
