First mech: You Chi clone, Magneto, or K100/101?

[BigCloudz]

Hey guys, I was dead set on buying myself a Chi You clone, but it looks like aka is either done selling them, or out. The only one I can find here in the states is over 90 bucks with tax! I can go down the street to a local shop and buy a Magneto or K100/101 KIT for less than that price..

What do you guys think?

Wait for the V2 Magneto with adjustable pin, and/or just buy a k100/101 from fasttech for ~$28.

From what I have read/heard, the Chi You clone really differs in quality from the different manufacturers. My advice is to read reviews of people that actually know what they are talking about.

I actually really like my Magneto and I bought the old version without the adjustable pin. The K100/101 has also been well received in the reviews I have read.

My biggest concern is are you knowledgeable in terms of battery/mod safety? If not, I would read up before taking the plunge and buying your first mod.

Oddly enough, I talked to a guy I know that works at the local shop and he said their Magneto has the adj pin. If I remember right it had the logo, but either I am wrong, or he's mixed up...

I think triangle vape also has the V2. I'm pretty sure it is already out.

Magneto with floating pin
Think they have no logo versions as well

 

[BigCloudz]

I hope we are able to get the floating pin with the logo. Not all that sure why guys do not like the logo?

 

[Kirkwood]

I kinda like the logo simply because with an RSST on it, at least with mine, the logo lines up with the wick and air hole making it easy to know where they are when I grab it.

I have bought something I like more now(VV/VW), but I will continue to use my K101. I keep my "sweet" juice on it as the juice, with a 18650, works perfectly as is. Of course I use a protection chip in the K101, it came with it at the place I purchased mine.

I love the magneto ! Verry low voltage drop and its built like a friggin tank
Also if you want an adjustable 510 but get the magneto that does not have it .... The delrin plug and adjustable positive screw from the natural will fit right in but needs to be cut in half .
Mine has the original positive plastic plate and button pushed out and I screwed in the naturals 510 positive post after cutting it In half with a dremal
Works like a charm although everything worked fine without that mod it's nice to be able to flush mount Rbas and rdas that do not have adjustable posts

I got the K101 with IGO-W RBA tonight. As a first timer with an RBA, I couldn't be more pleased.

The magneto! I'd suggest the chi_you clone but I hate the fact that they totally copied everything even the logo and the name. NO RESPECT. However, if you don't care, I heard that it almost hits as hard as the original chi_you.

 

[hyunuk253]

Chi clone hits harder than the real chi but the real chi is made much better. I'd say go for the clone. Would've kept mine if I didn't have the real one.

My first mech was a poldiac. Came from a ego twist and evic. Didn't want to start from the bottom again. So I went top of the line.

Seems like a good mixture between the Mag/Clone and even a couple k100/101 fans.

I really do like that damn Chi clone, but need to find it here in the states for less that $90. Even though it has great reviews, that is just simply too much for any clone (imo). If I cannot find one in the next day or so, i'll probably go with the magneto. I am a noob, but from the sounds of it, I should definitely only order the one with the floating pin. Like I said, the guy at my local shop said theirs has the floating pin, but I am a bit skeptical as it does have the actual SMOK logo on it. The other downside is they seem to skimp on stuff. Like when I got my IGO-W, all it came with was the head and platform with the 3 posts. Not even in a baggie, let alone any spair parts. I will probably just order online from Triangle, or keep searching for my Chi clone for a decent price (here in the states).

I say you buy all 3! It's what I'd do if I wasn't saving for a Poldiac! Seriously, K100 was my first mech and still one of my faves. Magneto is definitely on my list though.

Where can you purchase the Magneto clone at? What's the advantage of the floating pin? [sorry for noob questions]

I do not believe there is a 'Magneto Clone'. It's SmokTech's own device with a magnetic firing button rather than spring loaded. I am a noob myself, but from my understanding the floating pin helps with getting all att's flush on the top of the device. You are able to adjust it up or down to make sure the atty/carto is flat on top of the device.

You can get the Magneto at a few online vendors, TriangleVape seems to be the most popular/economical.

What's your guys thoughts on both the Stainless Private Clone (private v2 clone) and/or the Sentinel Clone? I could actually get BOTH of these for the price of 1 Chi You clone...
