Has anyone receive their clone and care to give their impressions? I'm particularly interested in Heespharm's comparison to his authentic.

Mine shipped from FT on the 23rd so I don't expect it before 1/6. I know there are some US sellers shipping now but will probably take a couple more days before they're in the hands of some ECF'ers.

I have 3 shipments from FT that were accepted in China post on the 22nd all within 2 hours of each other and were "preparing shipment" near 24 hours later. One of them departed San Francisco just before midnight last night, but it was not the K4 clone. I guess I"ll my get my Lemo Drop tomorrow or Tuesday but it's that K4 clone that's on my mind.

I got the same ones that ktm showed in his video... Real nice... Threads are actually smoother than the real thing... I think since the authentic is precision milled the threads have a tendency to bind more, but with the little bit of play in the clone threads keeps it from siezing...

Unfortunately I can't get the machine oil taste out... Anybody have a fool proof method?

I have had reasonable success with green Listerine, but be careful with alcohol on some plastic tanks.
How about a macro pic of the spring?

I'd go with their brand even, no bs
mint
I had a hard short once in the base of a Ithaka clone, the NR wire got red hot and burnt an o-ring, thought I'd never get that burning tire taste out but the Listerine did it.

I have 2 Coming this week one is still in Chicago, other one left Chicago on the 29th, first one is a Robot tech, might be here tomorrow, but more then likely Friday, and Saturday. Second one is a little less expensive, of unknown manufacturer I'll post up pics, and my thoughts when they arrive.

I have since wicked it up and its performing pretty damn nice! Other then getting use to what i need to open/close screw/unscrew its doing pretty nice! I will report back in a few days
