Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

[tchavei]

Getting a warranty on any vape gear is nice , 6 months on a $20 atty when most rda/rba's have none is exceptional IMO .

True but I have bad luck that usually appears after 18 months or so. Just last week, an one and a half year old blender ate his own ball bearing... Horrible sound. If it weren't for the warranty, I had to buy a new one. With warranty I just got a new model in exchange and another 2 year warranty

I don't see something on this particular atty breaking except usual tear and wear (which obviously isn't covered) but imagine, somehow in a year or so, suddenly the positive pole breaking (hopefully not lol). With a 6 month warranty you're out and have to buy a new one. With a 2 year one, they'll send you a new pole . Same for the chimney for example.

The tank will be probably harder but the burden of proof lies on their side as per EU regulations so unless they can prove beyond doubt that you broke the tank through unintended use (including drops, overtightening or tank cracker juices), they will have to replace it.

If that happens you spend another $20 to get a new one which would bring your total to $40 for the atomizer with a ton of spare parts.

I can't argue with that now can I?

...if you'd bought clones, you could spend the money you've saved on a Vita-Mix, which probably wouldn't have had the bearing go out in the first place, but if it did, you would have a 7 year warranty.

Well... Sometimes warranty isn't everything or nobody would buy Ferraris. Last time I checked they had the shortest warranty of all brands and still they sell like hot pancakes... Go figure

BTW... Clone or not, 2 year warranty is mandatory here. I2r isn't doing anything special... They're obliged to it just like any other vendor in the EU

Yeah, have to admit, if my $20 clone falls apart after 18 months, I'm not going to cry about it. I'm just going to buy another

... Unless there is something better out there by that time

Tony,

Waiting on FT to clone a Ferrari

 

[shatteredsoul76]

Got my $20 clone in from FT, cleaned it and threw a 1.4 ohm build with rayon on it. It wont fire on my Provari nor my Istick unless I use an ego/510 adapter. The screw that makes the connection sits a little to high in the atty, which is about my luck. I guess Ill break down and order a few of the circuit board spacers from Madvapes and see if that will do the trick since I cant stand the way it looks with the adapter and cone to cover it up. I also tried to loosen the screw a touch and still couldnt get it to fire.

As far as performance I would say that the vapor so far is a little less than Im getting on my Ehpro KF clone and the flavor is probably a touch better. I will also say that the airflow is ALOT more than a KF and thats with the AFC ring almost all the way closed compared to the two holes in my KF.

I had the same issue. I pulled up the pin on my Istick and it works fine now. I've taken it off a few times and it's fine as long as I don't put my KFL+ on it.

Well, trying a build on my Erlkonigin clone BUT getting strange ohm readings on my merer vs hana mod - on the Hana mod its 1.6 ohms on ohm meter its 2.0-2.2 ohms - tested my meter with my Russian 2.0 and that reads fine so not sure what is up. HELP!!!

I would think that may be the issue but it also wont fire on my Provari. The Istick wont fire my Ehpro Taifun GT either but the Provari fires it just fine.

I got an Erlkonigin clone off ebay, don't know the manufacturer. It has the black plastic threaded drip tip, comes in a black box that says YZP .

Deck threads are stripped, plastic tube has creases, total piece of crap.

Put your Russian on the hana to see if its the hana.

its fine w/russian

 

[elenamylove]

Oh my, disaster... Juice all over, I think I should step back

 

[shatteredsoul76]

Got it working, pulled the pin up slightly on the istick as KTM suggested and its firing fine. I guess i didnt realize the screw in the KF had pushed it down that far, then again it doesnt take much to loose a good connection. The flavor on this Erl clone is almost too much, vaping some max VG Bunny Bait from ITC, wow!

Guess my cotton shoulders moved when I screwed on the cap and thus flooding ensued. Build one failed, will try another later, I got a mess to clean up...
