I saw it as the one on the right having knurling that was too light.

Well, I tried 60mm for the v3, and just couldn't get it rolled tight enough, and ended up with about 45mm. For the vs, it was about 35mm. But, remember these are clones. I don't know if these holes for the mesh are the same size as on the authentic. I don't yet have one to compare it to. And based on what I'm experiencing with them so far, I like the vs a lot more, so I think I'm only going to buy a vs, and not both.
I need to either try the v3 regulated or tweak my build. They are both on mechs. The vs is vaping excellently, but the v3 is feeling wimpy. I did build the v3 lower and its on my hardest hitting mech, but I think it could be better. So until I find that "better", my preference is strongly favoring the vs, in which case I may never compare it to an authentic. Don't know yet.
Ok, I see Slick Willy has both. What are the differences between your authentic and clone?
Roxy, if you're on a mech put like a 0.4/5 build in the v3 and see how you like that. Pretty sure that's where McSedgeald likes his.
Yeah, mine is like 0.77, and its not low enough. And I'm out of regulated mods. My fault for not having some new ones done yet. Bad week for the pancreas.
I spent all afternoon fixing the switch in my authentic Stingray instead. It totally locked up last night, but thankfully its ok now. Somehow the rice pin just fell out of its slot ??
Does anyone know if the Fat Daddy rice pins fit the authentics? I can't find any other replacements, and I think its worn out.

Hey roxy, I only have the hotcig clone, it was Troll who posted the original pic of both here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...or-v2-rba-artur-schwarze-49.html#post15583231
I copied his pic and used it to mess with jax by flipping the image and reposting it.
Yup, the one on the left was from Focal.
Besides beign loose be havin a flood issue with this one, no matter what it likes to dump all the liquid through.
Could this be due to loose o-rings?

That and the metals don't seem to match. Not sure if it's the metal or the machining that is giving a different look. Also, the angle cut on the top is longer on the clone. Of course, none of these differences affect performance, just looks.
It most certainly could be o-rings. Where are you getting your leaking from?
Well, it wasn't as easy as I thought initially. It was easy enough to get rolled up but the ends kept fraying. I just pulled the frayed ends out and snipped them off. Currently running 80v/20p and it's working perfectly.
That's the funny part.
The thing doesn't overflow if left standing, only after taking a drag it starts to overflow the chamber.
Might be missing some o-rings also, since the tank did screw in a bit too effortlessly.
Might skip the tank all together and just use the original dripsection with this.

Oh, I see now. It's not leaking outside of the atty but rather flooding the chamber. I'm no expert with this atty. Yet. But I would say, if you are using mesh, your feed holes are too large. It doesn't flood when just sitting idle because there are no outside forces acting on it. As soon as you draw and get a vacuum started it is pulling in too much juice and flooding the chamber. If the feed holes through the mesh were smaller, they would not allow as much juice to flow through there by avoiding the flooded chamber.
The air screw may be too tight. Your at 2mm on the original with screw out. What's in the clone..
Fine adjustments to the mesh make a big difference.
Make sure all the orings are on.

If its working with no problem leave it alone. Or you may struggle to get a good thing back. Space is good as long as it doesn't flood.

You can spot clone brands by the knurling. The hotcig has 6 points in the knurling on the base the other only has 4.
I agree its probably the mesh having too large of a center hole that's causing the leaking.
How do know the o rings are too loose? Does it wobble? Neither of mine are, and I can pick them up by the atty.

They aren't THAT bad, but when you have to original to compair with you feel the difference.
You still can lift the atty from top w/out the deck dropping so it's not that bad.
Might be the airflow beign tighter though, 'cos I rolled my straws the same way with this (screw attached) and the original (no screw).
Why I was worried with missing o-ring was that the pieces were TIGHT to unscrew with the exception of lower tanksection.
