Anyone bought from here: Erlkonigon RA Tank

It's $40 vs the $20 from fastech, but it comes with copolymer and SS tank and the 510 adapter, and it would arrive in the mail in 4 days max.

Sketchy. They have pics of 2 different versions of clones. The ones I bought from FT and FC took 2 weeks. So 2 weeks at half price or 1 week at an inflated price?

If your in a hurry I would think that you could pick up one on Ebay for $10 less plus free shipping

Weird because it looks like the FT silver box clone, but with extra parts.

You can get the Yiloong on ebay from midsouthtrading for less. But, you have to cut the wick slots into the top of the deck. He said iit vapes fine for him without doing it, but I just cut them in before using it. Being a pain to get the liquid back out, I didn't want to try it out without cutting them in.

Stormy's isn't sketchy. They've been around for a LONG time and are respected. Some of their prices aren't the best though. I was curious about this one because I've heard fasttech can take like a month. My guess is that's the reason for the price tag though is combining most of the parts of two different clones to have one good setup.

The reason I say they're sketchy is because they have pics of 2 different atomizers. Unless they're selling both as a package.

1st pic is this one:
$20.75 Erlkonigin Style Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (8ml) - stainless steel + PMMA tank / 20.7mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

2nd pic is this one:
$21.33 Erlkonigin Style Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (8ml) - stainless steel + PMMA tank & SS tank / 20.7mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Oh I see what you are saying... From the description is seems like they are selling the silver box one that comes with the copoly tank, but including with it the SS tank and 510 adapter from the other one.

My guess is they got both, cherry picked parts for the best all around setup, and are selling that. I wish CloudBurst(who owns Stormy's) was still active on the forum, so I could ask him what all went into this thing directly. He hasn't been around too much though lately.

Could be. I would ask them.

I just emailed them about it, and asked a few questions. If they did cherry pick parts for the best setup, and maybe cleaned up the threads, I will buy it and let you guys know. I have a long history of buying from there, so I trust them a lot more to make sure the atomizer I receive isn't a ratty piece of crap.

I could never quite work out what he meant as well. Really looking forward to hearing what some of you guys think of yiloong clone.
I assume he's talking about the clone that hadn't the top machined grooves. There was a pic about it. Seems they (at the factory) missed machining the juice channels on the "shoulders".

I thought it was an isolated incident though...?

My Yiloong had no wick channels on top of the deck. And in the photos on Yiloong's website there weren't any either. However, they are always revising everything :D

I suggest getting one though. Holds 8ml and vapes like a beast!

Eta: weird, can't find it on their website now. The pics oon alibaba don't show it very well. When I got mine I thought it was defective. I looked on their website and the deck pictured there showed no wick slots either. And someone on the FC thread reported his had none either. The ebay seller said they were all that way.

Oh, I'm a she, not a he ;)
