It's happened, the AQUA has been CLONED

[SoCalMichelle]

I didn't see a post up for it yet here on the forum, so thought I would post what I have found.

Tobeco (which makes many good clones) has just released the Aqua Clone.

So far I can only find it sold in 10 pieces here - Tobeco 3 Holes For Airflow Control Best Quality Aqua Atomier Clone - Buy Aqua Atomier Clone,Aqua Atomizer,Aqua Clone Product on Alibaba.com

but if someone knows where I can find it sold singly let me know!

Thanks guys!

wonder what the third air hole is for? On the original there is one air hole for each coil. Third hole makes no sense. But knew it would be cloned at some point.

White Stag Vapor has started a spreadsheet on Facebook for ordering them... You have to be in their Facebook e-cig group to participate though...

lol, give it a couple weeks and it will be on fasttech with the rest of them. VJ mentioned a clone was probably coming a few weeks ago

Well if the Tobeco kayfun is anything to go by then this will be great.

Really like the look of the Aqua myself despite the lousy capacity, as usual with these sorts of Atty's they're impossible to get hold of and really expensive - perfect conditions for the clone manufacturers.

as long as there is a demand for vaping gear,there will always be cloning.no ifs ands or buts about it

all these "groups" are making crap over there. it's just now everyone is realizing it (im looking at you, Pacific/asian modders). for the top end gear if you cant find proof they are doing themselves then it is almost guaranteed it was outsourced and a clone is but a few weeks away after release.. how else could a small group of people produce several 1000 a month and supply all these vendors?

well,,the pinoy modders have a distinct advantage over a lot of the other modders in the machining field

almost all of the modders here are rather rich and pay a shop to make the mods for them ,

there are a lot machine shops here that have no work,,and will jump at the chance to get any work they can

most labor type workers do at least a 12 hour 6 days a week work schedule

see my avatar ?? that is a V4,,the threading on it absolutely garbage !!!

but my V2 Mortar has perfect threads on it,,good as any euro mod on the market

I'm in an Aussie co-op for one of these that started a few days ago, long before any hint of the original's availability here.

I've been seeing a lot of pinoy mods here really cheap,few i can't find any info on them at all even on this site !!
mostly because the modder didn't have anybody to sell to on a large scale

this week alone i have seen two mods selling for 30 bucks

its all about marketing

you know, thats brings a good point to mind, with all this chinas cloning everything argument, whereas it seems the ones they clone the fastest are pinoy based and may actually be a case of someone wanted exposure and made an agreement with chinese distribution channels or a cross license agreement more then they got ripped off or cloned.

now if youll just start sending me cases of these mods we can open up a website called pinoy direct

I ordered one from c2cvaping for $34.95. We will see. I generally only order clones if I had decided not to buy the original previously. Love my Fogger, so what the heck.

well there are a lot f chinese business men here in the phils ,,hell even http://myvape.in/shop/ is a chinaman store

so cloning the phil mods only stands to reason as access is almost unlimited

 

[thescientist]

Wow, thats actually a really good price considering the wholesale cost. I might just get one from them instead. dang.

Thanks for the heads up! I put in my pre order, lets hope they actually receive shipments on the 15th as their ETA states and they have free shipping.
