Never say never mate ;) And your statement depends on manufacturer of the clone. 1:1 clones are damn close if not the same compared to the authentic stuff! Probably same cnc machines, often used lower quality stainless stell, but i can live with that... Its only machined steel at the end! Its not regulated via circuit board, its not controlled by an operational system, its not nasa special material/technology so copying it would be almost impossible ;)

Keep on vapin :vapor:

I will NEVER ever buy another clone if there is anything possible that I can do about it!!

For the Kayfun clones, I prefer the Ehpro Kayfun Lite Plus. Either V1 or V2 are fine. You may find more customizable accessories for the V1 though, like the quartz glass kit if you feel you need glass. I also have the Hcigar Kayfun 3.1, but I don't like how much taller the base makes it, plus I don't like the side fill valve. I almost always wind up top filling it.

Never had an issue with a single clone...had an issue or two with originals though. A little research, a little asking around....found a number of very well machined and constructed clones. But....people are free to do what they wish. With a 40 dollar limit....might be just a tad difficult getting an original...

Tinkiegrrl, did you get that Erlkonigin yet?

Nope. Still waiting. Trust me, as soon as it reaches me I'll be sure to let EVERYONE on ECF know. I'm so excited about it. It better vape like it looks like it could! I'll do a post over in the Rebuildable Atomizer section like I did with the Expromizer.

You look like a nice guy George, but I don't believe that for 1 second...

Yeah, I thought so too. Then I realized that there is no possible way I could get an original of everything I wanted. Not only for lack of money (I can afford an original here and there) but for lack of stock. I'm almost convinced that many keep their manufacturing down to generate higher prices. Other times, they just aren't available in the USA, and the vendor won't ship them here. I do get an original when I can. If I can't though, and there are quality clones, I'm getting the clone.

No offense, but how many do you think you need? Why would you "want" that many mods & stuff? I'm not one of those "keeping up with the jones's" type people. All I want is something that works great and is dependable. I'll probably buy another R91 next month so I'll have an extra one. I have 2 e-LVT's also. I guess I'm like Einstein in that respect.

I need a bunch of tanks because I have a 2 hour commute Monday through Friday and an 8.5 hour workday or more. I do not have an ADV. I like to rotate flavors all day. I do not like to drip, and even if I did, I do not have the time at work to rewick the atomizer each time I change the flavor. I'm also a bit of a flavor purist, meaning I don't like to mix the flavors. I used to carry multiple cartotanks with me, but when I discovered Kayfun style tanks I couldn't go back to the cartotanks due to the increased flavor. I find that Ehpro makes some pretty dependable Kayfun clones. In fact, I've had zero issues with both my Ehpro and my Hcigar Kayfun clones. I have had a few issues with Tobeco, and as a result I no longer buy those. I didn't even buy the Tobeco come to think of it. It was a trade.

You've seen the pictorial thread on it started by qorax?
