I just got my #2 in Blue from the mailman. Great color. It's hard to tell from the pictures how it would turn out, but it's a nice royal metallic blue look. Loving it. For any guys that were on the fence, and worried about the Blue being manly enough...Man-approved.

They are a, dare I say, *pretty* blue. My wife has two blues, and I have one to go with my silver and black, but was afraid to use it in case it was girlie. Now that I know it's man approved, I think I'll fire it up! :D

Got guts , going with a FT model that has zero reviews yet , i wait and see how the initial versions get reviewed but at $20.00 i would opt for a good Kayfun first .

I picked up a fantastic one for 16.00 and change awhile back but you really got to do your homework to get a good one.

Same Erlkonigin I have posted in this thread, exceptional quality, easier to build then a Kayfun, and works better to boot.

You really shouldn't worry so much about such things.

$20 is cheap enough to try out. I bought a $25 Kayfun 3.1 clone from FT and it's ok. Not great and I probably wouldn't recommend it. I have an EHPro Kayfun Lite + I bought locally for $50 (with some free e-juice and stuff) that is awesome and have no problems recommending them to anyone. You can find the EHPro clone for $30 online and I thought about getting another one but I wanted to try something different.


Oh my gawwwddd! (To myself: Don't be like ccwaters...Don't be like ccwaters...)

I'm no where near that point (yet?). I've been vaping on a Johnson Creek Vea for almost 2 yrs and was fed up with wasting money on their cartomizers and canteens. Getting 4 faulty canteens in a row pushed me to getting the MVP2 and a couple of Vamo V5's. I wanted to get a Hana clone but there were enough issues with all of them that I held off. When I read about the istick, it was cheap enough to try out. I'd still like to try a DNA 30 but have no need for anything over 20w. And if I keep telling myself that, I might start believing it :laugh:

China has stepped it up lately as far as clones, I do agree, a little research helps a lot, but the majority of the clones coming from China are not bad. A year ago Tobeco sucked, I have 4 recent releases from Tobeco, latest being a Rose clone, and it is exceptional quality. Wotofo seems to have the nicest Elrkonigin clone, but no one seems to have them in stock yet.

Eleaf has come up with a couple of nice pieces lately, of course the Istick is one, another well worth buying is the Lemo, which is Kayfun like, add killer air flow, and a glass tank, and you have the Lemo.

Hoping that some of these successes will lead to more innovation, and less need to clone everything. I try and pick carefully but its getting easier to buy quality hardware from China.

China built this industry. They just let us do some R&D. Without them, we all still be smoking analogs.
