I got my 2 kayfun Mini V3's from 3F and they are exactly the same as the originals. They ship faster than FT also. Great store.

My daily vape is a Kayfun Monster Mini V3 clone i paid $5.43 at fasttech. Workd like a champ no leaks, plenty vapor, abd plenty of airflow, and no leaks

It only holds 2.5 ml eJuice.

Jumpin' Johosapht!! Mrs Batman on the board. How cool is that?
Chinese manufacturing is so abysmal, particularly threads, whats the difference between clone/original.
Just the price..
The threads on these clones made today are absolutely perfect. What clone do you know of that has poorly cut threads that was made in the past year?

Don't fall for the hype.

I have over 90 mechs and probably 25lbs of atomizers.
Clones and authentic.
I repaired mechs for 3 local stores and owned a manufacturing business for 22 years, so I have some experience.
I've touched more mods and attys than most authentic modders.

Most clones are equal or better made than authentic.
That's a fact.
Clones are made in factories with better equipment and higher operating capital than most small shops can ever afford.

People don't buy authentic because they are better made or perform better.
We buy authentic for their collectable aspect, or to own a piece from the innovator.

Don't believe people saying that clones are the same, if not better then authentics, because that is complete b/s. You get what you pay for and that is the same what ever the product and in life in general. If you really follow all problem issues in any forum, you will find see that most are from cheap imitations. Do yourself a favor and save up a little more and buy authentic products. The difference in money is not worth the worries of , did I get lucky or did I get a dud. Let me ask you something, if you could buy a smart phone clone, or a TV clone, or refrigerator clone, etc for a few bucks less, would you? I certainly would not, period. Besides the fact it's most likely garbage, why would I buy something that was stolen? That's just wrong imo . I would save up the few extra bucks and buy the real thing . I see so many that buy a clone and have issues , then say the device is crap, when most of the time it's not the authentic device that's crap, but just the clone and now they generalize the device as being no good. There is just not enough quality control and time spent when these companies mass produce these items for them to be anywhere as good as an authentic.

That is so old and does not exist anymore. The clones made today are made the exact same way the authentic. Right down to the same materials. The fact here is still true and that is that the authentic ones are over-priced. Take this Kayfun Mini V3 for instance, Both the clone and the authentic are identical. One costs $100 and the clone is between $10-$20. Some come with the logos and some don't. But the bottom line is the clones made today are not poorly made like they used to be.

If you don't like clones, just keep it to yourself and stop the trolling in these threads. We will not stop buying clones because of some comments saying it is not ethical. I have not bought a poorly made clone ever. I have compared every clone to the authentic and the only difference was with the older made ones were not as shiny. That is all..

Thread title : Authentic vs clones ?
vapdivrr has just as much right to post here as you do.


So, the other thread got shut down for personal attacks and you dig up a 2 month old thread ?

Yo (MODERATED), what is the name of this thread? The OP has asked the question! Your the troll because you are responding to me and not the OP! This is how things get stirred up, because your not agreeing to me. These threads are opinions to the original post, so keep your mouth shut to me and give your opinions (however skueed they might be) to the OP so they can make up their mind. Going back and forth within the thread is your specialty Rick and you are getting a bad name because of it. People should generally try to help other people here and it is just my opinion about the topic. I would not respond to your post to the OP and tell you that your opinion is wrong! And you call me a troll?
