It depends on what criteria you use OP to determine whether a website is "legit" as you put it, or not. I would have thought that the only sites that are not are those planning, advocating or inciting illegal activity in the country of origin. Which I'm guessing makes about 99.9% of them "legit".

I've never met MrPlink as he probably lives some 6,000 miles from my location but I'm fairly certain the gentleman isn't nuts.

Now if you wouldn't mind explaining something that puzzles me please? You like kathi17's post suggesting a vendor selling clones, yet in your slight about MrPlink's mental wellbeing, you complain of being sold a counterfeit?

I said I am not buying or using counterfeits. Make a royal conversation with someone else.

There are a large number of legitimate sites that sell both those atty's. Use Google or even check out the registered suppliers in this forum. Sometimes you learn more when you do a little research yourself. While you are at it you might want to try being polite with folks in here, you'll get more help that way.

So you want an authentic magma for over 100 dollars
Or
An authentic igo (I honestly can't believe they have bothered to clone these) for 20 dollars or so?

If you buy n authentic Magma I hope you buy from a very reputable dealer as this is one of the more recent cases of the copies being better than the original.

P.s.

I am very insane for being an educated consumer and knowing how to use the protections built into my credit card.

Lmao. That was possibly one of the most ridiculous response from an OP I've seen in a while.

Good luck making your rounds around here if you keep this up.

Not as half ridiculous as telling someone to go buy from ebay. "Ebay! The best place to get random fakes!"

Igo is good.. I have a W6. I actually just ordered a Paradigm Magma from fasttech.com. 16.71 with shipping cost. Shipping should be about 8-12 days, not sure. I have other attys to keep me happy for now anyways, so I'm not in any big hurry to get it.

I purchased the Igo-w3. Simply because I can go from a single to dual coil no problem. And yes, I got no issues blowing clouds with my Alpha Mod box on it.

Brought my $16 FT Magma into the local shop today. He had an authentic in the case. Side by side the two were indistinguishable.

The FT clone is made by infinite IMHO. Everything in the package, the style of the box, everything looks just like the infinite clone except black box does not have infinite printed on it.

I am happy with the clone. I didn't need an $89 treasure chest box.

Just to keep things civil,

I know eBay has a reputation for being potential sketchy.

But, IF you're not against getting clones, then eBay can actually become an incredibly good resource for getting attys at the best price, along with VERY good customer service. Sourcing for attys become dead easy when you find your trusted vendor.

In case you're not aware, eBay has gotten increasingly harsh on their vendors. Every single negative review hurts a vendor's rating and search result position very significantly. The result is that large serious vendors on ebay are very responsive to inquiries or complaints, and will go out of the way to rectify any issue.

As long as you perform your due diligence such as knowing which clone manufacturer you want, as well as look at the vendor's rating, I can almost guarantee you that your buying experience will be better than half the online store vendors.

I'm sure whoever first suggested eBay has the same sentiments and real life experience as I did, and that was why he suggested it to you. The only reason why there's any backlash at all is because of your incredulous response to a genuine attempt to help. Shrug. But hey, if that's your approach what's a bird gotta say.
