Anyone know of a reputable website that sells authentic Magmas?

I've got a clone and love it. Now want to purchase an authentic or two but don't want to get taken.

Not to sound condescending but, Why? The clones are a true 1:1 according to all the video reviews on which the reviewers have a considerably difficult time keeping up with which is which. I em yet to see anything that shows the original to be superior. I have a clone and could get 3 or 4 more for the price of an original. I, too, love mine!

There is really only one way to tell the difference on the clone is one, has the screw a bit higher annnnnnd that's about it. Maybe the steel grade is higher but I have no idea what that would effect at all. IMO I wouldn't even look at the real deal, you put them neck and neck they look identical from Infinite. Why blow over 100 bucks? Unless your a cat that just likes the real deal, I get it.

How can any clone be 1:1? It's impossible. "Clone: and "1:1" are mutually excluding terms.It is much more than semantics imho. The only people that believe a clone can be 1:1 are clone owners. I get that. Purchasing authentics can be a dice roll. Purchasing clones is an even bigger dice roll. The most important thing is that your device works well for you be it a clone or a "fake" or an authentic. Saying one device is better or one device is the same as another device or why buy this device when you can by this other device is a waste of time.

If it's a 1:1 match with the original dimensionally, form, function, performance and build quality (threads/burrs/welds etc). Mine cost me $23.95 shipped and I can't complain about nor find anything (like the reviews that I've seen) sub-par. Certainly nothing to warrant spending 4-5X that much for the original. :thumb: :)

Because I have the clone and like it a lot. I like it so much that I want to show my appreciation to the originator.

Unless your a cat that just likes the real deal, I get it.

This applies as well. This has become a hobby for me and I just like authentic gear in my collection. To each his own.
