Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I totally disagree with this statement ... The clones manufactured in China, whether it bears a copied logo or not, are marketed, and SOLD AS CLONES by China, so there is no intent to deceive on the part of the manufacturer of these clones.
Are you speaking of US vendors who intend to deceive maybe? Because I know those exist ...
China has no reason to attempt to deceive to anyone, most especially since there is a such a high demand specifically for clones.
That's not true. Please do further research. That Chinese pharmacist simply copied!
Before long there will be nothing made in the USA but regulations to control anyone who may have those insidious thoughts.
I don't quite live in Antartica but I do get a fair bit of weather from there...
.I have taken your message to the little blue penquin colony down the road and they are considering extradition or failing that invasion.
The device patented by Herbert A. Gilbert (which was never manufactured) is nothing like the e-cigarette invented in China. The latter is not a copy.

Perhaps you should do a bit of research.
The first electronic cigarette patent (Note: It was never put into production, nor even had a working prototype made)
The Ecig invented by Hon Lik.
Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything that suggests Hon Lik copied the Gilbert design.
With your definition of copied, every innovation that was remotely inspired by anyone's else's work is a copy. You're essentially saying that almost every product we use is just another copy, regardless of how incomplete the original design was, or the fact that it was never made.
I remember when Al Gore and I sat down and invented the first e-cig. We invented Hon Lik and China too. Almost invented the penguin - our version could fly but it never really took off.
Consumers are to blame. Most are too cheap and can't or won't save for quality products...
Or how about some consumers actually have their priorities straight, and realize that if they are going to drop hundreds of dollars on something, that their money would be better spent on something like, oh I don't know, THEIR HOME ... how about that?
I'm not saving a dime for a metal tube ... I will save up to have my hardwood floors refinished, or to have my deck rebuilt, or to replace the storm windows in my basement though. #adultpriorities

How much did a carton of cigarettes cost? Cheaper not to vape or smoke...
If they are manufactured to the same specifications, I want the one that cost less.
Regardless of how much a carton of cigarettes cost (and I bought them for $27 a carton at the Indian Reservation btw) I have never saved a dime so that I could buy cigarettes ... so why would I now save any money so that I can buy a mod? ... and to please who?
The same $27 that I spent on a carton of cigarettes, is the same $27 that I now spend on a battery compartment ... as well I should. And quite frankly its not about which one is cheaper for me, that is not the point. The point is that I don't have a single, solitary reason to "save up" for my vape gear.
Honestly, the fact that what anyone is paying, and/or saving for the vape gear of their choice is even a concern to you, says a lot more about you, then it says about anyone you are questioning. ... How is this even a thought in your mind? And what do you gain by even considering, and discussing it?
My comment was in response to the original premise of the thread. China isn't to blame. Consumers drive the market. Most are too cheap or unwilling to wait to pay for quality, so will buy disposable, poorly made things.
I don't care what people buy, or don't buy or why they buy them. I do know most seem to price shop, rather than shop for quality.
Some of us don't live paycheck to paycheck, so our choice of things doesn't interfere with "adult priorities"...
If they are manufactured to the same specifications, does it matter?

It doesnt matter what the item is, a pacemaker, a Rubiks Cube, or an RBA; items are manufactured to the specifications given by whoever is commissioning the manufacturing. If the manufacturer takes shortcuts (lead paint on toys, thin walls, skimping on solder-work, etc.) an inferior product will result. This is irrelevant to where the item is being made. It all comes down to the specifications, and sticking to (and occasionally improving) them.
The International Business Times has a great article on manufacturing in China and how it differs from in the US.
This is getting a little silly. Want to know where the Chief of Cardiology at our local yet nationally recognized magnet hospital came from? Harvard Medical School and Vanderbilt University Medical Center by way of Shanghai Medical University. He was made in China.
I think the smart play would be to get whatever part this guy says is best.
