Yeah, might've been an FB secret code. I don't have FB, so I miss out a lot. :unsure: But we have inswva, et al, so it's all good! :thumbs: :laugh:

It has to be because when I tried to check out on the Samsung's with blackfriday as the code, it only gave me $6 off which only covered the 5.75 cheaping. The batts were still 20 bucks for the pair. I didn't have time to figure it out so I just bought them from illumn.com, $6 per batt, and less than $3 for shipping.

Too bad the Cloupor T8 that I bought them for appears lost at sea :cry: Shipped 12 days ago and still only says Acceptance, not even processed through sort facility. :blink: It should have been here by now, the Erl took 8 days, the T8 shipped two days after it :cry:

imrbatteries.com - code 25R - $5.50 each. Came out to about $6/each with shipping for four cells.

I really, really need to stop hemorrhaging cash. :glare:

You are late inswva! :cry: You've earned a Pow Pow because you didn't save me any money :laugh:

I'll take some liberty here and pimp Super-T (don't smack me Nicole!). Just figured my FC peeps looking for a kick .... mech mod may be interested.

I have a Workhorse and I know Drifter has one and Weezy used to have one (sorry Weezy - I has a sad for you). Anyway, in the spirit of sharing BF deals, Super-T has the Workhorse for $48.99, telescopic Workhorse for $69.99. Not sure how long the discounts last. If I hadn't already blown my BF wad, I'd be all over a 18350 Workhorse.

Super T Manufacturing Inc.

But I am though :glare:

Dang! No more spending, ugh!

Playing with my new Zero :). The gray sleeve is also shiny, but its a different look than my other mods. It seems to have more oomph to it. Really happy so far.

The gray sleeve is the last on my list to get, I actually ordered that one first and then asked Doris to change it to gold ... Glad you are liking your Zero though :) And speaking of Zero's and sleeves, introducing Zero Gold *cue jazz hands*

Oh, FT has an Aquav2s they are listing as authentic for $35. I'm sure they must be clones, but they look pretty decent.

Did they really :rolleyes: FC actually ordered them too, from Tobeco for the US warehouse. I didn't want to mention it because I didn't know when they were showing up, but I know that they shipped from Tobeco already, and they are 1:1.

FT put up 3 today. Two listing as clones and one listing as authentic. Don't know what to think of that, but I ordered one. Doesn't ship for 7 days so I can cancel if they come back and say it was a mistake.

Yeah I just went over to observe the tomfoolery over this non-authentic "authentic" :glare: Footoon already posted on their FB that there is no way it's authentic even as some said its possible that it came from the same factory, which Footoon also said is impossible.

Now look at the Authentic Aqua and its parts package, and you will see that it is different than what FT listed. FT and any other vendor has the benefit of using terms such as "authentic" and "genuine" so long as it is sold to them by their supplier that way. It is definitely not authentic however, most will believe that because it suits their Ego's to do so.

FT's fake authentic Aqua V2 (notice the difference in o rings and the brass knarled bolt)

I bought the so called authentic Aqua V2 from FT too. I don't care if it's authentic or not, it just looked better in the pics and actually showed the brass hybrid nut. I'm more concerned if it's actually 316ss or not, hopefully it is.

Yep, agree. It looked the best of the 3.

Good eye. Yeah, I didn't think it was possible unless maybe they were blems. Of the 3 they put up it did appear to have the best deck and machining. If it works well, I will be happy. Liked the brass 510 over the copper on the other 2.

Is it worth $10 more? Not sure, lol!

Agreed, it does look like a good clone from the pics, so can't knock that. :)

Tobeco's specs also say 316 on Alibaba, not sure how true that is of course, but it also looks very good and I am still excited about with all its versatility. Love that it has a clear tank and can also change to a dripper.

I'm not Nikkita6 but...

Tobeco is one of the less expensive manufacturers. Their items often cost less than some others. That doesn't mean that they make junk products though. Quite a few of their products range from decent to nice. But some are pure dreck, I mean really bad. So with Tobeco products its always a case of needing to see it before you know the quality because they do often manage to produce a lot from a little but not always.

The post awful says I'll get to enjoy my Zero and sleeves tomorrow. Hope they're right ;)

Nikki, what is your opinion of Tobeco clones in general? I remember looking at something in my local B&M (think a kayfun) and thought it was crummy. I'm sure not all their stuff is though.

Early Tobeco had a crappy rep, especially with the Kayfuns .. but at least based on feedback they have long since stepped up their game, their Aqua V1 was supposedly one of the best Aqua clones. The only Tobeco atty I have ever owned was their 1:1 Stillare clone and it was mint, a perfect replication. The machining, the post, the fit of the top cap, all were on point. I PIF'd it because I liked the Mephisto's vape better, but I had no complaints about the build quality. Used to get lots of compliments on my Stillaire porn too :)

But yes, I did avoid their Kayfun's like the plague. You should youtube their Aqua V1 clone review, I know twisted did one, and I think a few others. Also I "think" Tobeco's Squape V1 clone was the only one that was released without major issues.

I'll watch that review in a bit when the birds are in bed. Two of the 4 don't cuss, and I'm trying to keep it that way :D
:D :D Thanks for that laugh.

I'll chime in on Tobeco, my experiences are similar to Nikki's and bsoplinger's. Had a Kayfun clone from them, not good. Gave it away after less than a day of use. Have an Orchid from them which is very good, at least on par with the three I have from FC. Have a Tobh V2 from them which is excellent, and I've heard they also make one of the best Vulcan clones.
