Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

[Vicshalls]

3Fvape has it too.
Kayfun Mini V3 Silver 2mL 19mm RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer

I ordered this one when it came up. Interested in trying it out. Hard to pass up for 15. Hope it ships soon.

And honestly I don't get the authentic vs clone mentality. I would almost put money on the fact that most people buy store brand products instead of name brand. People use apple vs the pc. Everything out there is cloned. If not most people would run around naked and hungry.

I could tell what the real issue is but then I would be banned and my post removed.

I've ordered from them before and once it ships it takes a week to get.

Mine has shipped from fasttech.

I have over 200 orders via Fasttech, the few problems I've had with them were all taken care of, some took a while, but ended well.

Focale I've had issues with and they went unresolved.

3F same, they were great until I had issues, then they quit responding entirely to Tickets.

Gearbest, NO thanks, period.

I still buy from all of them, but other then Fasttech only if I can't get elsewhere.

Most store brands are made by the name brand companies. Just watered down versions of their products. Apple is also not a pc clone as its a totally different operating system. But hey, if it helps you sleep at night.

Mine just shipped too

Take a good look at Apple in the beginning and even now. They use the same ideas. Little icons you click on and get what you want. In the end they all do the same thing it is all just preference. If the car was not cloned we would not have so many different brands. They add to it they take away from it but in the big picture someone took someone else's idea and ran with it. Whether the improved it or made it worse.

I would like to try one of these, Just out of curiosity. I have moved passed MTL tanks and 2mil capacity is really ridiculous
But on the strength of Svoemesto's past history, I bet this will perform very well.
It would be nice to see it available some were in US or Canada soon.
I'm over buying from china, FT has no E-Packet any more and it takes for ever to get my shipment
I tried 3F cause they have E-Packet But! still took over a month to get my stuff Not only that I have never seen a package so dirty inside ever! It was wrapped in some old stinky bubble wrap that was surly reused from the garbage can! Disgusting
I'm hoping eventually some one in Canada will stock a clone of the V3 mini so I can try one

High quality no doubt, they even bend in your front pocket automatically... And permanently[emoji14]
Anyway, this is going off topic.

So... Anyone in the world reviewed a clone kfmv3 yet?

There are enormous amounts of tanks out there that are either direct copies or use features of svoemestos tanks.
Often the original['authentic'] design is a point of departure for the maker to evolve their own original product.
this is how it works for most products.
what i personally have issue with is counterfeits using the authentic manufacturers name and packaging in order to trade on the back of the originals reputation.
I am sure their are makers of 'authentic s' who would be happy to licence their designs and also ensure quality standard is met for the chosen price point.
i am betting that is rare and theft more often the case.

As for the mini , it is lovely tank and if the knock off brigade do it justice those who purchase and enjoy them should raise a glass or three to the folk over at Svoemesto who gave birth to it first.

And the first clone just dropped on Fasttech..

$14.09 Kayfun Mini V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml / 316 stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I'm interested, but will wait for reviews. Seeing that square seal on the bottom, I'm concerned it would be prone to leaking if that's not machined perfectly.

I agree everything is cloned and given the choice most people will opt to pay less and buy off brands/clones especially if it is just as good or better than the name brand. Just look at generic medications for example... personally, I would rather pay $70.00/month for the generic than $2900.00/month for the name brand on one of the meds I take.

As far as vape gear goes sometimes the cloned version is equal to or even better than the original, also, in a lot of instances the original is cost prohibitive and/or made in very limited quantities so a clone may be the only option for most who want it.

The vape world is changing fast! A few years ago the authentic gear was expensive and limited, opening the door wide for cloners. Today a lot/most of the gear is reasonably priced. Who is going to buy a cloned Istick to save 5 bucks? The Aromamizer was cloned, I seen authentic Aromamizers going for as little as 19.99! The saving on clones has really shrunk. There are some exceptions, but now it's the exception and not the rule. The day of 200.00 + mods and atty's is gone. it's going to get harder and harder for cloners to make a profit when authentic's cost 30 and 40 bucks

I watched the Steve Jobs movie too
I'l say this, anyone who thinks a windows PC is better than a Mac Dose not have one!
I didn't spend a lot either, I got an I5 mac mini and upgraded the Ram to 16.
This is one awesome little computer, I have said Good Bye to control ault Delete, blue screen of death, programs freezing and rebooting. Get a Mac it's better!
Sorry for going off topic Bobby But I had to spread some Mac Love

I'e tried it and just did not like it

The authentics will always be over priced. Look at the this Kayfun mini V3 clone that cost $15 and the authentic is $100... Clones will always be available because these authentic makers are too greedy. Research and development is just not that expensive.
