man i bet this isn't going to be popular. that said.... if you are a dedicated vaporist and know you are planning to remain the aforementioned, why fight clones? get you hands on a quality device and you won't be disappointed. i unfortunately spent roughly 2K on clones and other disposable vaping equipment before i gave up and bought quality gear from reputable vendors (mostly U.S. made) and learned to build and tweak (still learning everyday). the research and the time spent on getting what you want specifically is time well spent. try it you'll like it...
that felt good...my first ECF rant...think i'll have a quality vape now. Peace {
My Stingray is every bit as good as an authentic, bad thing is I am unsure of the manufacturer.
The button is smooth with about 1.1 mm of throw, the threads are all butter, the tubes are almost seamless and it fires hard...every time.
I paid $22 shipped with drip tip (not fasttech).
I'm not against authentic gear, my preferred topper is an authentic Atomic RDA which is also flawless in every way...it was four times more expensive as the Stingray and worth every dime.
JD Tech can set any price they wish for the Stingray, had it been in the $100 range I would have purchased an authentic...this is what I believe it to be worth.
I do feel most people expect too much from cloned gear. If you paid $70 for an Infinite clone with crunchy switch it is what it is and the vendor you purchased it from overcharged you....just like authentic mod makers do. I got lucky with my clone, if it had issues I would have been disappointed but this is the risk we take to disagree with authentic prices.
