Oh, I know it's a clone and I am familiar w/fastech, I knew exactly what I was buying. The last FT order I made was on 10/14 and I received it 11/11. The single 18650 tube JM clone in SS goes for $15.75 on FT. The 3 tube brushed SS version on FT you pointed to does not have silver plated contacts. So, I paid $7.51 more to have it 3 days - which is acceptable to me.
I haven't seen them on any of the US vendor sites outside of eBay. There is another US eBay vendor selling one for $38.88 - free shipping or $56.88 for one with one Efest bat and a suicide charger.
$23.26 sounded like a deal to me...
It's nice but not nearly as nice as my Nemmy clone.
I knew it was a clone, but average joe newby vaper on the forum probably wouldn't.... Just wanted to point it out for anyone that might have thought it was anything but a clone!!!
Received a brand new polished SS JM22 mod just today that I also bought off eBay - $20 + $3.26 shipping. The treads are smooth as butter and it's very well made silver plated contacts too. I don't think the guy knew what it was...
This quote, (from you above), would lead "most", (average joe newby vaper), to think it was the real deal and not a clone!!! I'm sure "he" knew what it was, that's why he only charged you $5 more for it to cover any shipping or other incurred cost he may have had...
