Fasttech pulls all of thier Erlkonigin clones. Maybe somebody is fighting back?

[Nuclear Cowboy]

I just went over to fasttech to look around and see what's new. I noticed they where carrying authentic eleaf Lemo's and the kayfun clone section section was flooded. Then I typed in Erlkonigin and they are all gone. I wonder if this is permanent. Seems like some of these makers are finally fighting back. Out of curiosity I typed in Squape Reloaded and the search engine came back with 2 products called "triangle" window NO LOGO atomizer

I guess it's hard to keep a chinaman down.

Angelcigs still has a bunch of Erlkonigin clones and squape R clones. Maybe try them. They actually shipped it pretty fast and it's in the US.

The authentic Erl is well worth the money.....


As is the Kayfun.


1rst class machining and material...1rst class vape.

Sadly this only proves it is highly likely these products are produced by China to start with.
The only Threat to a China business is another China Business.

China really doesn't care about copyright in any shape or form so give it a day or 2 and they will re-appear

I had one and sold it before all these clones came out. It was a good atomizer but certainly not worth the asking price for me. I do see both sides of the clone vs original argument. Clones are intellectual theft, but so is charging a $175 for a mass produced atomizer. While many won't agree and that's fine but that's how I feel.

 

[roxynoodle]

I feel a lot of the authentics are overpriced also. A good part of that though are labor costs. Machinists in the US and Europe are paid a good wage. In China, they most certainly aren't.

I have 2 Erlk clones. Both are pretty darn good. One has no fake logos/serial number (good!). The other unfortunately does even though its not even close to 1:1. That's too bad because its more different from the authentic than the Russian is from the Kayfun

 

[Nuclear Cowboy]

Yeah, I've got two myself. One is pretty much a 1:1 that I run with my original Erl driptip on that I had had left over after the sale of my original. The other is a 22mm version that could be given another name. It looks really nice on my GP PAPS 18800 mod. I like both of them.

+1 for authentics, fighting the good fight....

 

[Nuclear Cowboy]

Well, it was a short lived victory for authentics. They're all back up and they included a new NANO clone! I put one on order. It'll sit on top of my Istick.

Yes, here's my favorite: RTA Tank Atomizer, very descriptive!

They care about Trademarks when they have to. I ordered the GP Paps and GP Heron clones, only to receive them over a month later with the logos machined off. Fine by me, I'm not down with TM infringement, and these devices are unpatentable anyway so.

Exactly!
Ordered My 18350 after they updated and changed the Pics/description. One of the nicest Mods in my arsenal. Looks good, well built, buttery smooth threading and perfect switch. <Excellent conductivity>

Yes, most of us would still buy any of their better pieces with No Logo! You can't vape a Logo and it will not make a device function any better or worse.

Not an issue for you since you got the 350, but for those considering the full set or the 650, keep in mind as nice as that switch is, the spring is utter garbage and has too high of a resistance for sub ohming. Build below 0.5 ohms and it will pull voltage to the switch and cause one hell of a hot button.

I'm on the hunt for a brass spring of the same diameter, but haven't had any luck so far. I may look into getting some really thin copper washers to bring that switch resistance down. For now I just stuck the switch from my HCigar Vela clone I don't use on the 650 tube to sub ohm.
