Best clone you got from FT

[havoc1967]

I am going on 2 years tobacco-free and being a hardcore vaping fan. In that time I have gone through many, many clones and quite a few authentics. Nowadays I have 6 mech mods, 3 authentic and 3 clone. Love them all equally. The rest I have either sold, given away, or in a very few instances - thrown away. I suspect this is a fairly common pattern among those of us who a) crossed over from tobacco to vaping, and b) have made it a hobby/vice/new fun addiction or you probably wouldn't be a member of this forum anyway. That being said, my question is this - what is the absolute best mech mod clone you have purchased from fast tech? This is in terms of durability, reliability and overall performance. You can only pick one. I chose Fast Tech because that seems a common place for all of us who purchase clones. This is not an invite for the moral arguments on clones.

Mine is the brass Nemesis clone.

I am very curious about other people's choices because there are so many more choices nowadays on Fast Tech, so please weigh in. Thank you in advance for responses.

I bought the same clone to see if the mechanicals were the saftey nightmare I thought they were.....


they aren't....



22 bucks expended and valuable lessons learned...


Buying Authentic s now though.

Have to nitpick a little here. There are roughly 42 billion different Nemesises on FT.

This one has served me well for a long time
$24.63 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - stainless steel / with telescopic 510 contact pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It did have a crunchy button when I got it. Applied some TLC, added magnets and shortened the button throw. It's not perfectly smooth, but throw is short enough not to notice.

Edit: Cut to stay on topic.

I bought an Astro clone around a year ago from FT for around $21 & at the time it was my favorite mod. That thing hit hard & worked great!

I only own one, so take that for what it's worth. I am very picky, tho. Mandatory for a mechanical was side button, for me. Now, that doesn't narrow the options much, right? I settled on the 69 clone. It took some minor rocket surgery to get the adjustable pos+ connector pin to make contact with the KFL+, but after all was said and done, I am impressed. I still use my REO more tho.

Can we post our worst? lol, I have bought a couple decent ones, although none really stand out but I remember the worst was also a nemesis, the black one which is only a 29.3 mm tube (no rda flushes up with that that I own...ugh), you can only top load the battery because there is a lip at the bottom so the battery can not come out of the bottom and the silver plated contacts were trash...IMO, horrible voltage drop, the black coating was on the threads so sub ohming on it made the point of contact hot between tube and both ends, just not an enjoyable mod at all. Sold to some kid at my shop for luckily twice what I paid, the kid really wanted it and I really hated it lol. Saw the kid a week later, still in love with the thing, to each their own...

only have one mech mod going now. penny clone 1:1 from FT. there are handful that's coming in on slow boat from china. will know how it differs from the others soon. most of them are copper. penny clone met all my expectation and it's produce, along with few atties, enough vapor for my need.

The best was a King v1, buttery smooth and hastle free but Don't care for the weight and asthetics much so my Nemi and SRX are all I use now. Both took some fiddling and magnet upgrades but are very nice now.

I have the Paragon $22.11 mod from FT. I couldn't be happier with it.

I went to a B&M yesterday and compared it to the authentic. Other than deeper engraving on the button I honest thought the clone was better. The carbon fiber looked better, the threads were equally smooth and the brushed texture on the copper was nicer.

The mod hits great and the button is much smoother and better than my Nemisis clone. For 22 bux I can't believe how nice this mod is.

In my personal opinion, if I have to go with a completely out of the box setup the $24.83 Kepler 18650 Stingray X clone is hard to beat(FT SKU: 1891703). For someone like me who only planned to ever use the Stingray X in 18650 anyway I love the idea of the single piece main tube, less contact points for less maintenance and less voltage drop. This is one of those rare mods that needed no tinkering with or extra finishing whatsoever and everything came in basically perfect condition.

HCigar doesn't sell to fastech.
HCigar also doesn't manufacture mods.
However fastech DOES carry some of the same mods because they buy from the same manufacturers as HCigar.

I got a fantastic copper 4Nine clone from them. It's basically the only mod I use besides my 4Nine Prime...
