Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

When I first started vaping, I bought only authentics. Then clones were readily available and usually 1/10 the price. I bought clones of the authentics and sadly realized they're exactly the same. Eventually I stopped buying authentics and only clones. Now I stick to clones only. Price drives the decisions to purchase. I love vaping and collecting. Thinking my $250 real mod is better than your $25 clone is stupid. In the end, it's just a metal tube 
Amen to that... Artemis kayfun black edition.... V1,v2, or v3 - love them- clone of a clone of a clone with improvement- better airflow, improved fill port, 45 bucks. Fogger V4, clone of either taifun or ithaka, can't remember which but great atty and only 35 bucks.
Ehpro caravela not a fan but wasn't gonna drop a hundred fifty bucks on an experiment when this one cost me $15... Hate it hate it hate it- not a fan of it; so, really glad I didn't drop major coin to see if I would like a mech- I spent more in the "authentic" sony vtc 5 battery.
Jdbaker....the Russian is a clone. A clone of the Russian is a clone of a clone. That being said, I love my Russians.
Sure it's a clone but not in your typical 1/4th of the price or less kind and that's what I mean.... paying top dollar for quality machining etc etc etc Yada Yada

If you buy 10 clones for the price of 1 authentic and only 5 of them work well. Who is better off???
I think the fogger is unique....not a clone of the taifun . It has been cloned. They cloned a $30 Atty! Lol
I am usually a mech mod clone buyer, but after reading all the positive posts regarding originals I was fully ready to take the plunge...

Grab a pocket knife to match then you would be all set.
Timascus Tighe Breaker Damasteel Blade by Brian Tighe / Tighe Knives
Wonder if the pocket knife was ever cloned. hmmmm
Element uses extruded tubes...
I wonder if they are using them on a $1,500 mod, or if they finally milled one.

I will add this, then bow out gracefully. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Let's say that I make a mod (original) and I call it the 123mod. (it's a mech btw) I make a limited run of 100. That is all that I have the time/ability/desire to make. I am going to sell them for $200 each. They all sell out. I just made $20,000 on my idea.
Let's say you make a mod (original) and you call it the 345mod. (it's a mech too) You make a limited run of 100. That is all that you have the time/ability/desire to make. You are going to sell them for $200 each. They all sell out. You just made $20,000 on your idea.
So far we are equal.... Now.... Some random company decides to make a clone of mine. They mass produce and sell them in all parts of the world. Everyone loves them! It is called a 123mod clone. Now the mod I designed and named becomes more widely known than the original 100 ever would have been on their own. As an artisan, I am happy. I already made the money I intended to make. One day someone sees a 123mod in my hand and asks if it is an original. I say "Yes, actually it is the first. I designed it." He call my BS, but if not, he is ecstatic because he met the maker of his favorite mod clone. I am flattered.
Now.... you made your money from your original 100, but no one sees it worthy of cloning...
Who feels better about their original design, desire, craftsmanship?

Not sure which ones the fake but I like the bottom one more. That brass ring in the middle bugs me to death.

lol No matter what their feelings on authentics vs. clones, politics, religion, omnivore vs. vegetarian, all men can rally around their common dislike of the Bieber!
