Eleaf iJust S

[VapeonLivelong]

Hello guys,
I'm currently using joyetech Ego One 2200mah.
I want to upgrade to something similar maybe Ego One v2 mega or iJust S.
I need some advice regarding 2 things
* Are eleaf products sold on fast tech, gearbest & aliexpress genuine?
* I'm based in India, so how much tax do I have to pay at customs?

If they say authentic on FastTech they should be. Impossible to tell really though with 1:1 clones out.

Yes gramdogg since they remove the security code, it is impossible to verify the authenticity. What are your suggestions?

I don't call those products an upgrade.
An upgrade is buying something that does something better or has more features... not just buying something different.
Can't you get a VW/TC mod?

 

[Gramdogg]

They can rip off authenticity cards easy too. They don't show what product they are from so could just be from a pack of coils lol. I'd say go for it, all cheap Chinese junk anyways probably made by the same manufacturer. Just don't buy styled clones they are 50/50 shot, I have 1 thats ok and 2 that threads are bad on posts so they are useless. Always have sharp threads too that cut your fingers up and could destroy the threads on your mod.

Djsvapour I am not well versed with vw/Tc mod. So I just prefer stuff like clr coils.

Gramdogg where else can I buy it from? Eleaf says they have a dealer in aliexpress.

 

[djsvapour]

I'd say go for it, regardless of my initial disparaging comments.

You don't need to do anything with a VW mod other than turn it on and vape it at a consistent power, or change the power to suit your mood/need.

I am using a CLR today on a VW/TC mod. Perfect!

You got any links that would help me out with vw/Tc mod? Like how do I go about? Usage etc?
At the moment I may go in for a ego one v2.

Maybe they do, but consider this; if Fasttech were selling clones (or even "authentic" items that leave the factory by another door) and things were clearly not right with them, or they broke easily or had clear visual differences, I think we (the community) would have worked out you get less than you pay for and nobody would shop there. Their e-cig business would not survive.

I agree. So which one do you suggest, similar to the Ego One.
V2?
iJust S?
I've ordered an ohm reader so once I receive it i will build coils at home.
I seen that iJust S gives good clouds.

 

[Gramdogg]

I'd just try the CLR coils he uses. Replace the 6 wrap kanthol for 5 wrap nichrome and it should give a much warmer bigger vape.

 

[VapeonLivelong]

I was planning to buy a kanthal a1 24awg

 

[Smoke_too_much]

Hello VOLL
I wouldn't suggest you buy the Ijust2. I had two of them and they were pretty good at vapor production but their switch is a weak point and they both died about 3 months after purchase. I'd suggest getting something that has an independant battery and variable power settings.

 

[VapeonLivelong]

Like?

 

[Gramdogg]

Thickest you can fit in CLR is 26 awg IMO, even then I rip the insulters on them. Went through a 5 pack and just purchased a RTA instead of buying more. Try 26 AWG nichrome 6 wraps, then if you want more heat/vapor try 5 wraps. Just "styled" I'd stay away from, "authentics" are 1:1 exactly the same at worst. I have 3 "styled" trying to save money, only 1 works like it should. They have reviews you can read, most "styled" have bad reviews 50/50 shot if yours is good or not I'd say.

L buy ego one v2 mega locally itself.
What about gearbest and aliexpress with regard to authenticity?

 

[Gramdogg]

Out of the box my Haze dripper tank RDTA leaked out the bottom and grub screw plug falls right through the deck, I was able to fix the leak though. FreakShow RDA post was stripped out of the box so I can only run it in single coil mode and the O rings do nothing at all lol. 2 outta 3. Not bad enough to send them back for $10 but bad enough to complain on ECF lol.

 

[daviedog]

If you can recoil a powerhead, you can recoil a proper RTA.
Stay with 28 or 26awg, much easier to deal with..
