the one I asked about in another thread is seemingly very high quality as well. I only handled it. which is odd because they are a off brand. it is xxdecig. apparently it does not come with a drip tip but mine was missing it anyways. no matter,jmk or justhatip is all I use.

Which clone seems to be most worth the price at the moment? Looks like there is 5-6 total of them.
I have a brass from Tobeco, a stainless steel from fasttech and a black/copper from Infinite... along with the crappy Asmart/Skorite BC.
I'm happy with all 3. The buttons all needed a lot of work to get firing smoothly, but since then they're all really nice mods. If you want a brass or SS one, I think the ones from fasttech are perfectly fine. BC, Infinite is by far the best available, but still not perfect.

I ordered an infinite and soon as I unpacked it took the button apart and wiped it down with alcohol and a qtip. Perfect

All of mine have required sanding (1000, 1200, 1500 grit, then polish) to smooth out any parts that come in contact with each other. The main thing that causes the crunchiness or catching is the horizontal machining marks left over from production. It's rather difficult to get in there and get it all though, since they're such small parts.
I've been thinking about maybe getting one the FT versions and trying to engrave it myself with a dremel...I don't have 18490/18500 batteries so I kind of have 1 free tube to practice on. LOL
You can tell the original from the clone by the Stingray engraving on the tube, the original is more detailed.
I have the real jd. my "clone" looks exactly the same to me. I am no artist though. the switch I saw on my friends infinite looked a little different than my jd and supposed clone. my clone came wrapped in bubble wrap with no tip or fanny pack. the kid at the store was clueless. I asked what brand the clone was. he looked on his phone for a bit and said it is an infinite. they might have messed up. I don't feel bad because I paid plenty for the clone and have spent a lot at that particular establishment. if it is a real jd it is entirely possible his work was a little better on a slightly higher sn. also of question is they are close and both much lower than what I have seen in clones.
nonetheless, if this is a clone it is some very good one but now I don't think it is an infinite. if nothing else because of how the inside of the switch looks. also my great grandson has a science kit. I was spending time with him and tried testing the threads. there is aluminum and high copper content. i am not exactly excited even if it is a jd. this is not the best mod to begin with. for some reason it is my favorite now but others workmanship is undoubtedly better.

I'm thinking of nabbing a SS Stingray but I need to know if it performs better than a Nemesis clone lol.
It would perform as well or better, the Stingray has similar design with excellent silver plated brass contacts on the top and bottom.
The Stingray tubes have finer threads which increases conductivity a minute amount.

If you're worried about how hard it will hit, why not choose a material or metal that's more conductive than stainless steel? Between the 'oooh shiney' vibe from the polished brass version to the touch of elegance in the brushed brass finish to the extra conductive copper you have quite a few choices.

I have a brass, I just wanted something stainless steel for my stainless steel atomizers.
Finally got my black copper infinite stingray today in the mail. This is a quality clone, for what I paid im extremely happy with the product. All threads are perfect and no button crunch like my Hcigar brass ray.
