Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...

[inswva]

The Aqua V2 thread has been closed but I thought it worthy of mention that authentics can be had for $19 + $6 shipping right here:

Footoon - Aqua V2 – Local Vape- Costa Mesa Vape Shop and Online Vape Shop

These were like $150 when introduced. Great RTAs, for sure. Get them while they last.

Is it actually authentic? Seems fishy.

 

[inswva]

Yes, it is authentic. Local vape doesn't sell clones. I've purchased a ton of stuff from them. They blow out older authentic gear on the regular.

 

[slightlystoop]

Does seem fishy how can they verify?

Eh... reputation, I guess. LV is a very well known authentic vendor. I ordered one and should have it on Saturday. I can certainly verify the authenticity when I receive it as I've had two authentics. I'd be amazed if it's not the real deal.

Send me message when you find out

Crazy! It's cheap even if it is a clone. Why sell off at such a silly low price though. Bizarre. If authentic they must be taking a massive loss on these things. Seller margins on authentic devices aren't that large in the first place!

 

[hypocritelecteur]

I'm just wondering if they are the OTMs that were identical and manufactured in the same factory but unauthorized and were sold for around $30 until very recently.

Its real they dont sell clones. There are new models coming out so they blow out old stock so they dont get stuck with them. Ive gotten great deals this way. The last great deal I got was a VS dna30 for 40 bucks, it happens you just gotta watch for them.

Debating if I need another

 

[smokewell]

Would you please stop posting stuff like this. The wife is getting suspicious I have more than one tank...

Ordered. It's $25 shipping to the UK, so $45.77 total. I actually tried to buy two, but two packages changes it to "large envelope" international shipping which is 3x the price of normal international.

I suppose I could go back and place a second order, but eh, I don't even really need this one. I have six Aqua v2 clones and two Aqua SE authentics.

I just couldn't resist the slightest chance of such an amazing deal.

Though I am still sure it's either got to be a typo, and thus they'll cancel the order as "obvious mistake", as big name retailers have been known to do many times when they list things incorrectly.

Or that it is a clone despite their policies/past reputation.

Anything other than it actually being the authentic for $19 because that's utterly insane and unbelievable But we will see. Fortune favours the brave and all that.

Not so hard to believe, with the SE out, the V2 is going to rapidly decline in value.

Yeah, but not that far. I have seen it on sale for like $80, a 40% discount or more.

$19 is less than the cost of most of the clones from FastTech. Hell, the "OTM" or "produced in the same factory" clone on FastTech is $35.

$19 is utterly insane. It's certainly far less than they will have paid for it themselves from Footoon.

Given their reputation, I think it's most likely a typo. Question is whether they will honour the orders.

 

[roxynoodle]

Yeah, a couple weeks ago they had it down to $29.99 or so. So I believe it.

 

[smokewell]

Well it looks real, to bad I don't have the original to compare it with when mine arrives. Same price I ordered today the Ehpro mini budha. I will see how they compare.

 

[TheBloke]

Yeah, a couple weeks ago they had it down to $29.99 or so. So I believe it.

Oh, well that's different. I didn't realise they'd been slowly lowering its price, I thought it just appeared today at $19.

OK that's good news then.

 

[roxynoodle]

Yep, I think your safe that its authentic. And it will have an authenticity card.

And heck I think my OTM one was worth the $35 I gave FT for it. Its one of my nicest tanks.

I'm trying to justify buying this one for $25, lol! I don't need it, but, dang it is a great tank and price.

Yep. I have two FT Aqua V2 clones, diff manufacturers; LOVE the performance, HATE how they leak. Now I have an authentic coming to me.

Since these clones leak in tank mode, going to block the bottom air holes and use those two bases as RDAs only.

And probably order a couple of Orchid clone bases to salvage the two cloned Aqua bell caps and chambers. How's that for taking lemons and making lemonade hehe

Re leaking, have you checked to see if you have an o-ring around the plastic insulator that goes under the positive post?

This is notoriously missing from many clones. Quite often it is in the spares pack, but not on the clone itself. It's a tiny o-ring, I think 2mm x 1mm.

To check, unscrew the positive post. Then pull up the plastic insulator it was sitting on. There should be an o-ring around that.

If it's not there, juice can and often will leak into the base, and then it could come out the airhole as well.
