But, if they add this as an engraving on the tubes:

I will surely have to own one.

Just spoke with china on this, and it looks like a bit on the expensive side for a chinese mod. Probably sell for close to $100 us retail like the mkbts.

hundred, first thought that comes to mind:

"100 bucks.... you're almost there, just, a,little, bit more, for a really nice mech mod...."

"Nah brah, I don't care if it works well, as long as it looks like a vela."



I could be a 100% wrong, that just my first impression.

Anyone else find it funny that they are numbering them. I can see the Classifieds post now...FS Caravela Clone #56419871552...are they just going to wrap the numbers around that ring? It does make sense they are starting to bump of the prices on these clones seeing their popularity.

All the photos are just bad photoshops of real Caravelas, I doubt they will number them. Or they will all have the same number.

I have a contact in China from when I was looking into opening a vape shop (I am not a vendor and do not plan on becoming one anymore) and I got my hand on 5 of these yesterday. This is a completely no name brand and is sold as a hybrid with a zen knock off genesis... Even has the zen logo on the cap lol. Don't know if this is the same as the one vapor joe listed, as I was originally sent actual caravela pics too.

Review :
The zenesis clone atty will gather dust , I won't even set it up to test because I have too many nice ones that I know work. I dont wanna discuss the RBA in here at all so...

The mod... I'm kinda torn. It is bitter sweet to say the least. The quality is nowhere near my sigelei #8, sharp edges, horrible switch and nasty threads... but it looks f'in hot. The contacts can be sanded to reveal brass and I have been fiddling with the switch and made some progress.
I'm curious to see if the ones made available will be better or same as mine and the price point...
I can post more pics once I get in the office if y'all want.

And yes, based on my MOQ order i suspect these going retail for upwards of $100

I will post some pics and a breakdown soon
