Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

[KTMRider]

Ok, peeps, how much better is the real deal? Stupid $20 clone and I love this thing . Machining and everything seems very good. Not a single bad hit even though I was expecting a steep learning curve. Just perfection.

I love it enough I'm getting it the glass tank.

Good to hear you're having good luck with your clone. Maybe mine was a dud, although the fit and finish is excellent. Maybe I'll have better luck with the FC clone whenever that comes in.

Quite honestly, I can't tell much difference in performance between the two. Granted, I did install the optional open draw posi pole holder in the clone and that was another $20 plus shipping on top of the $40 I spent for the it to begin with. Still, I plan on getting at least one or two more and they will be authentics.

You really want 3-4 authentics of the Erlkonigin? I can understand a nano kit or something, thats some serious scratch sir.

Why yes. Yes I do. I have found my vape nirvana and it is DNA40 TC, rayon, and the Erlkonigin.

I actually want 5 to be exact as I have 5 juices that I enjoy and would like to have a different tank for each one throughout the week.

I understand totally - I love my Russian v2.0 - Russian 91% black (night love) and Kayfun's - I just perfected my builds to a point I never get dry hits, flooding... Just amazing flavor that rivals the few RDA I have. I can chain vape too, its just perfection.

Wonder how Roxy is doing ?? Prob chillin and loving on that Erlkonigin !!!

I guess that depends on which clone you get.

This one is under $16, and from the picture, appears to have a 2mm air flow hole. Here's the link.

I just ordered one of these, I wonder if it will come in before christmas?

 

[Juggernaut666]

Good luck with that one, I ordered the same one a month ago, they still don't have it in stock, I ended up changing my order to a different one they did have in stock....

Mine shipped on the 4th of November.

Yeah, you're probably right but for now, this is it for me.

Famous last words.

Roxy had a Thursday night Browns game to watch . Erlk vaping great.

Not so happy with the new build I put in the Lemo though. I turned it into a powerhouse dripper in a tank. Not my vaping style. The good news for those who like that kind of vape is the wicking can keep up. 0.5ohm 26 gauge parallel coil. Hits too hard for me though.

The clones come with serial numbers? Ugh!
Note to self, check the authentic Erl owners list before buying one second-hand... haven't yet, but I have been searching.

Not all. I have 2 now from different manufacturers and neither have serial numbers.

Doesn't the authentic say Erlkonigin on the chimney? I haven't (yet) seen any clones that do.

Nope, just the serial number from the pics I've seen. The Erlk steel tube says it on the side (not the 32mm one).

I just got the 2nd clone today. Built it and leaked all over. Added an o-ring again on the chimney and it stopped the leak. How am I the only one with this issue? And on 2 different clones now. I'll post my quick review and pics in a bit.

This one from FT has a pic of one with a serial number.

I've always heard that everything from FT well have the same serial numbers, that's not true, my wife and I both have matching nemesis and stingray clones from them serials are all different.....

I went right to a bigger coil than I normally use, 7/64 ID. And with rayon you can stuff a lot of wick. I love it as I did it. Flavor on par with the Rose.

The authentics have the following on the full sized chimney: EK0760 (used 0760 as that's one of mine). The nano does not have a serial number and if I'm not mistaken, neither does the ErlprinZ.

 

[roxynoodle]

I really wish clones did not have logos or serial numbers. Or cloned packaging.
