Help with Clones? Also batteries

[justacat]

First of all, hello to you e-cig forum goers ^_^ im justacat here,

I have an ego bottom coil e-cig and am wanting to upgrade!

I've searched alot of different things and watched many videos, and I've mostly settled on wanting a Private v2(clone)OR a Panzer(clone) with a Prometheus Genesis Tank(clone by Tobeco). That much is certain.

The problem I'm having is sorting out which clones are better quality, for instance, I believe that the Private v2 on fasttech is their own brand, but that there is also an Ehpro and Hcigar version. I am not sure about the Panzer, as I hear the fasttech version is rather well made? I have also seen that the Prometheus Tobeco version is rather well reviewed.

Another issue is that many have reported not being able to fit an 18650 sized battery into the fasttech Private v2s, or that its a very tight fit and most 18650s are too wide for it. I also have trouble finding batteries that would fit into it based on size specs.

Would anyone please help fill me in on this stuff? ^_^ I would much appreciate it!

So would you say Hcigar is better than EHpro? I've searched for good large batteries that will last me and also allow me to go into sub ohms when I get use to vape modding and such, but most of the 18650s are too fat to fit in the tube.

I have several clones, and would say the EHpro are a better quality. They cost a little more but seem alot smoother to me personally.

OK, so EHpro and Hcigar are pretty much better than the fasttech version right? Does anyone know if Fasttech are the only ones with the brass expander issue with threadings being too thin?

Does anyone have an 18650 sized battery that can reliably fit into the Private v2 clone from either Hcigar or EHpro?

I agree that Hcigar seems to be the best. 2nd EHPro and then Tobecco.

I recently got a nemesis clone that I believe is made by Tobecco. While everything is made very nice, the one thing that I found wrong with it is the locking ring threading is way to loose for my liking. To the point I think I will just put it in the classifieds and get an Hcigar version. For about $8 more I could have saved myself from being irritated by the locking ring. Other than that the mod itself is very well made with no other issues.

So take that as you will. Just seems for a tad bit more money, you can be sure to not have any issues with a device.

P.s. I also have a Tobecco Kayfun Lite plus, and everything has been trouble free since I recieved it. So some products are hit or miss. I will just be spending a few more dollars from now on to reduce the chance of getting something that may has slipped past quility control.

Awesome! Thanks for all of your input! I think I will be investing in an Hcigar Private v2 and Prometheus Atty!

Does anyone have battery recommendations? I have had such trouble finding 18650s that would fit into the mod both length and width wise.
