so... a bunch of gear arrived today. was super excited until i started opening all the packages.
i'm a poor student, so buying the real deal is not within my budget, however, i expected clone build quality to at least be adequate. given that they dont have to worry about the r&d budget and are just copying others designs, and that when it comes down to it all i'm paying for is a few bucks worth of machined metal...
my kayfun lite plus clone from ehpro came with a large crack in the chimney, and a 2.5mm metal hangnail hanging off of it. makes it impossible to get a sealed tank, and i'm sure it chewed up the o-ring.
my nemesis clone by h-cigar has what i can only describe as the worlds cheapest switch on the bottom. grabby, loose, junk.
but my kayfun 3.1 clone from h-cigar is perfect.
is this build quality (or lack thereof) common with clones? or did i just have very bad luck?
