I'm in the market for a box mod. I found an " Authentic Sigelei 150W Variable Wattage APV Box Mod " for less than $100. I was wondering if anyone has had bad luck with ordering mods from fasttech, like receiving a clone when it specifically says "authentic"?

I saw they had the 100w on sale for $50, but for that kind of sell, I might not need the extra 50w. Lol. Thanks for everyone's info and advice. It's all VERY helpful.gearbest has them on sale for fifty bucks right now... both paces are authentic

The word "clone" is being misused throughout the ecig industry. A "clone" is a 1:1 copy of a "authentic," which means that the "exact" same materials are used to create both and they're indistinguishable when compared side by side. If a description states "style," that just means that the "mod" is "inspired"/similar to that of the "authentic" and is not a "clone"The clones are usually described as 'style'
example
"ZERO Modz Style Variable Wattage APV Box Mod"
is a clone of the ZERO Modz Variable Wattage APV Box Mod

And with the price of these devices now days, there is absolutely no reason to risk your money on a clone.

Nah man,
Today many clones outperform their authentic counterparts.
Fact is, many are made on better equipment in large facilities, rather than garage shops and tabletop lathes.
Here's one example:

You're right. I work in the medical field and I know that a "clone' is the result of cell(s) producing asexually, which creates genetically "identical" clone(s). I don't understand why a lot of vendors use "1:1 clone", when it's not a "1:1 clone". If a vendor sells a mod as a "clone," then by your definition that's the same as if the vendor sells the mod as a "1:1 clone." In my initial post I meant to put "1:1 clone" in my intro/body, but I forgot and left it as "clone." I tried to change this, but the "edit" option was gone when I attempted.Actually, "clone" is a biological term, that's being used in the abstract here to describe a "copy" of an original item.
And it's used correctly.
For the OP:
Fasttech is legit.
If it says "style" it's a copy.
If it says authentic, it is.
Thanks for sending me this link. I order the sigelei 100w for $50. I really appreciate everyone's advice and help. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives. This is EXACTLY why I LOVE e-cigarette forum!http://www.gearbest.com/promotion-e...utm_medium=shareasale&utm_campaign=shareasale
edit: im sorry you said 150W.. they have that too but same price, 100$ still both places it would be authentic.
as a general rule if FT has authentic they say authentic, the clones say "style"
Now settle in for the wait.
GB shipping makes FT look like overnite.
But your stuff will come. If I was a betting man I'd say a month.
