I still like my erlp nano better.
Think I have 10 Erls, 1 authentic k, 1 authentic P, authentic nano chimney, 2 FT nanos, the rest clones, they've been just sitting collecting dust. I broke out the Authentic NanoK, put a fresh build in him just to compare to the M3. I almost forgot how turbulent the airflow is on them, great flavor, nice vape! I have to say I do prefer the M3 though.
Better top fill, don't have to groom the build, so much smoother on the air flow. Back to the shelf it went.
I've already decided when I can pick up the KF Mini 3 for about $60 I'll buy an authentic. For me it simply is not worth the price they're getting right now, $60 is still a bit high IMO, but I'll go there. New or used, doesn't matter, just not $100.
A few pieces of vape gear I've bought @ full price out of the gate, very few, but I did feel they were worth it. The rest of my approved by "insert favorite descriptive here" have all been secondary market @ more realistic prices. If Svo sold this for around the $60 mark I'd bet they would up the overall profits by a good margin, and convert a fair amount of clone buyers. Not everyone, but fair number.
I just don't care about what the other guy vapes on, if it works for them then its a good choice.
Clone market sorta fits in the old school shareware world for me, buy the shareware version, if its worth it I'll upgrade to the full version. I just really hate to waste money on hyped up BS, and unfortunately so many reviewers hype the stuff up just so they are assured that next freebie down the road.
