Please dont support counterfeit. Athea is an amazing company that is growing but not a giant in the vaping world. When you buy clones youre supporting the demise of the people who created the device you are using. The is with authentic gear, especially the In'ax mkIIr and most any decent relatively new devices if you dont like it and you dont bang it up you can sell it for the exact price you bought it for or a bit cheaper. That way you are making a moral decision to support the company whos product you want to use with very minimal risk of losing any money or being stuck with a product you dont like. try www. vapinart .com they have the 22mm In'ax mkIIr and the 16mm version also.
Clones won't hurt his business at all.
No one in the market for a $200 atty is going to buy a $16 clone.
Two totally Different markets. Totally different buyers.
Mercedes buyers won't buy a Kia at any price.
If I hadn't seen the In'nax hybrid clone I would have never even heard of this Modder or his products.
If not for reviews of the clone, I would be skeptical of the unique deck and positive attachment system.
What clones will do, is gain exposure for a very very small
Business owner.
Unless the authentic Modder is a mega-producer, clones will only help sales.

This. Two completely different markets.
Like the Ubertoot UTA. $260 RTA... or $20 FT clone. Though there might be cross shopping to an extent when availability comes into play. All in all these small high-end mod makers are selling every single unit they can produce and almost all are producing as many as physically possible. Clone sales are not hurting their sales. It's advertising if anything. Loads of people will try clones and purchase the authentic if they enjoy them.
I still want a MkII clone. The Nano clones look nice but I'd rather have the larger mod tube and put an 18650 in there.
The nano is "meh". More a novelty item than anything in my opinion. I have mine built with 28g 4/5 wrap on the provided ceramic (which sucks) wick. The spring "clips" that hold your wire down are horrid with the clone. Too big for 28... to small for 26. You have to double up the 28 at the end to get a secure connection. The vape quality is surprisingly good... but you need to drip after every two toots.
I also want a MKII clone. I'm skeptical of the design and want to explore it before i'd decide to spend the authentic cash.
The atomizer looks good. I thought it was supposed to hold 1.5ml. I like the design. Gennys and Kayfuns are too tall, but I don't want a straight up dripper.
Leaning toward the Mk2r atomizer clone on Fasttech, though it doesn't have any reviews oddly. Doesn't use a ceramic wick which I am partial to. I wonder if I can use the XC-116 that I have on hand.
I Got the MK2r clone from fasttech. Been vaping it for a couple of days. Vapes very similar to my Sat22 that I drilled out, but is completely leak/flood proof and is very easy to fill. It is a great atty to take out with you. Setting it up is a PITA. The easiest way for me to set up was to do the PetarK method. I made a perfect coil with a jig. I loosely rolled a mesh into a cinnawick (17mm x 30mm). Fit the wick in the coil.....take it out and torch and fit back into the coil. Slip the mesh/coil combo onto the positive post. Then attach the negative lead first and then the positive lead. This can be all done in less than 5 minutes. Working out hot spots is were it is a PITA. With a ceramic tweezers I can usually get 12 wraps of coils glowing evenly under a minute in all my gennies. It took me about five minutes to do it with Mk2r clone. But maybe in the future this process will be faster since this is a very unique atty and it gets getting used to.
A fair warning to those who want this clone....the springs seemed to have been designed to catch 26g wire. They give you four little springs but they are all the same size. For example I tried using 28g wire and it just wouldn't catch. The way I got it to work with 28g wire was to snake a wrap around the positive post before slipping on the little spring. I don't think you can make it work with 30g wire....I don't know.
So in summary:
Positives:
1) it vapes as good as the Sat22
2) Has adjustable airflow
3) leak proof and supper easy to fill
4) I also like that you screw on the top cap
5) it doesn't matter were the wick/airhole is facing when you vape.
Negatives:
1) It doesn't have a way of seeing the liquid
2) It has only 2ml capacity.
3) Those damn little spings are a pain to work with and easy to lose.
The Nextgen atty addresses all these negatives....I am really looking forward to getting that atty.

I'm watting for mine from fasttech.
But I would like to heave a Nextgen clone...

Couldn't find much info on buying original.
Gear Best has started a pre-order and with code Nextgen it's under $15 shipped. Also SXK is coming with a clone soon, check vendors in near futurem

Well after using the fasttech clone for a couple of days I felt confident enough to do a review last week. I been at this vaping thing for a while but I still haven't learned my lesson of not doing a review until after a few weeks of use. The problem with Mk2r clone is that the springs don't catch anything except 26g wire and I don't think the atty was designed or is capable of running 25 watts through it. After a few days of use the positive metal post has become soft. Also the resistance isn't stable anymore and it keeps inching higher. So for example if I put a new build in the morning that is 1.2 ohm by evening it will read 2 ohms or higher. I keep thinking that I have shorts or something is wrong with the builds so I dry burn it and all the coils are glowing evenly but the resistance keeps inching up. Usually my builds are rocks solid. Currently all my other gennies have coils in them that I haven't adjusted or touched in a month. Once I set it up I usually don't have to touch it again.
I looked on line and apparently the original has this problem as well in that the positive post is way too thin and becomes all oxidized, malleable/soft over time. With the clone I think this process is super sped up because you are forced into using 26g wire and that very very thin positive post can't handle high current.
So In summary I definitely wouldn't recommend the Fast tech clone and apologize for jumping the gun last week and doing a review before I thoroughly got familiar with the atty.
