Youre lucky, if i wanted the one from eciggity it would cost AUD$75 (AUD$42 of thats on the postage)...may as well buy the authentic from a retailer who imports one into Oz...

Or i could order it from Spain and pay AUD$47 (AUD$19 postage)

Postage from the US is extortion folks...

Eh... Don't worry about it. You wouldn't like it, anyway. You would just complain. It's not made out of a tree.

In person, i cannot even spot a difference in materials used. The steel looks the same, insulator materials look the same, glass seems of same quality.

I think the three insulators on the SJMY are even better than the genuines. They all look like PEEK to me; only the deck insulator is PEEK on svoemesto's K5.

I ordered the Tobeco, but my rankings so far:

Original > SJMY > FT logoless SXK

They're all so nice it doesn't really matter to me. I had to swap out some orings on all of them to get things working nicely - even the genuine.

You are right, i just checked. The SJMY has peek insulators throughout the entire tank. Authentic has two white crappy looking ones, except for the deck.

Peek, is more expensive... Than the white crappy looking ones (Too ... Funny).

So, How can you be sure?

I am going to order from eciggity but want to make sure they include the glass tank and spare parts. I am thinking an authentic Oring may fix the one problem you have @KTMRider no where in there do they say it includes the glass tank or spare parts. I'm pretty sure it does but want to know for sure. And it doesn't show it in the pic

I just got shipping notice from eciggity, forgot they were in Hawaii. I chose first class shipping. I I have no idea how long it will take! My bad. I should have spent the extra $4 for priority.
I've ordered from eciggity many times.

Packages usually arrive to me in southern california within 3 days with first class mail. Fastest was 2.

Well whatever white ones the authentic uses, its def not peek. They are exact same material as a kayfun lite insulator.

    Got the SKX coming from fasttech, but decided to order a SS and black from eciggity, already have 4 tobeco kayfun mini v3's which have been really good, and @KTMRider reviews of the tobeco's he got, didn't have to think to hard about ordering, and sure they will turn up well before the fasttech one :)

    They do come with the glass tank and spare parts. I ordered 2 now thinking of getting a couple of authentic spare parts kits. Will try the O ring spare that I got with my authentic if the other is really tight like KTMRider said. I sort of had a deal set up with some others and we were going to get 10 from Tobeco but it was actually cheaper this way with the 20% off.

    I would suggest canceling the SXK if you can.

    The Tobeco comes with a glass section and spare orings so you don't need to order spares.

    Not sure why some of you think having peek bushings everywhere is a plus. The only place it's necessary is on the build deck where heat would be an issue.

    There are lots off flights out of Hawaii, I notice no difference in delivery times.

    I don't need 316L stainless steel, either, but I prefer it. And quartz instead of borosilicate, and so on...
