Clones

[Sm0keydaBear]

I purchase online.

I think the best answer is try it out and the worst that can happen is you receive something that looks completely janky but works. There is a fasttech thread somewhere around here that people post what they get from fasttech and the quality. I'm not sure, I just did a search and cannot find the thread. However, when it comes to the products that fasttech sells, I'm sure we'd hear about it if they scammed or their products were not up to standard.

I recently made a purchase with fasttech and will be receiving it soon (hopefully.) I can update you on what I get and how it looks, but beyond that, you're probably better off trying it out and seeing if you like it.

I found 2 of mine are clones, one I had to drive long way to replace at local shop due to fire botton jammed, one are still having problem charging battery up to now. So I always avoid clone except atomizer which I not care much if it is authentic or clone.

Do you us clones?

I'm thinking about buying some kanger aerotank clones and maaybe a switchable battery mod to stock up on things before TPD article 20 kicks in.. But I'm reaally unsure about clone mods in terms of battery safety etc. Could use some info. I buy such things at fast tech

General clone post.

I have 10 dollar clones made in China of 150 dollar tanks made in the US. And I have a 100 dollar clone of a 30 dollar tank made in China.

Lotta ground between those extremes.

Sometimes a clone makes me love an idea so much I buy the authentic, cReo I'm looking at you.

Sometimes a clone makes me buy an authentic to see if such a piece of crap could be that bad, Plume Fail I'm looking at you.

Sometimes a authentic makes me buy a clone to see if the awesomeness carries on, Squape I'm looking at you.

Its all fun, cause cloudz bro.

Almost all my RDAs are clones. I buy "name brand" clones (oxymoron, I know). Brands like Tobeco, Infiniti, etc. They cost a little more but,I have yet to be disappointed in quality or performance.

Are clones as good as authentics?

generally no ... but they are cheaper

At FT, use the popularity sorting under e-cigarettes. Avoid the date listed sorting. Only buy an item with an established track record. Always look at reviews and discussions.

 

[edyle]

Yes, because I am a bit sceptical. Although, most items on FT has 4-5/5 rating anf almost only positive review. Do they delete negative?

But I'm at least gonna order a tank or two, and rather purchase a HQ mod.

Learning about tapatalk, magic thing

stuff with bad reviews won't sell and fasttech just won't bother getting more

 

[edyle]

there's no magic rule that says if a clone is better or not from the original.
generally if its a simple device, more likely a clone would be pretty much the same.

one interesting thing about the clones is sometimes the clones add some innovation to an existing product; for example there is the kanger subtank mini, but there are subtank mini clones with a topfill option!

Another case is for example ephro: they make clones but I see they made a new tank called the morph, which can take delta, subtank and atlantis coils!

Are clones as good as authentics?

This one has been proven to be a Yes/No/Maybe on several occasions. Depends on the Clone.
Is a Blue X any better than a Purple X?

Consider this...
For many Vapers, what was bought a year or two ago Now resides in a Box, Drawer or is in the Bin and replaced with the next latest greatest. Heck, for a lot of vapers, 6 month old gear has been replaced.
So..............In some instances going Clone is perfectly plausible. Why throw Good money at something you may not have use for in a few months.
