I bought a real one early on, sold it though, bought an Ithaka.
I see no difference in the quality of the clone but in the FT forums folks are talking about the center pin breaking right where the threads stop where it screws into the little positive block because ? and that part is brass ( not verified by me yet) SM.de sells the pins them but doesn't ship to US.
It fills with the plastic nettle bottle just like the real one.
Air is good

I bought a couple bottles

Edit: All but one that posted in the FT forum received their clone with the center pin already broken so maybe they had some really big guy putting them together.

A little more, my center pin was loose just like on the real one and I tightened it down real good and it didn't break, just saying.

Fasttech has them for $26 shipped as long as your in no hurry for it.

I've got stuff from them in as little as 5 days or as long as 40 days but I always got it.

Yeah, I've got that one on the list as a backup. It will be a while before I can order one so I was looking around to see if I could find a good price on the Tobeco version since it is getting really good reviews. The problem I am running into is a lot of sites don't advertise whether their clone is the EHPro or the Tobeco. :/

Also, thanks for the PM, I got it and understand. :) I am notoriously slow with responding to PMs so I thought I better mention it here.

In the never ending search for the Holy Grail of KFL coils...here's my latest. The only difference between this and a standard 1.5mm/28ga/1.4ohm setup is the wick placement, i extended the wick length and looped the excess back up off the deck and snugged it up next to the coil on both sides then trimmed each side even with the end of the coil. Vapor production is better than any other style I've built, and flavor is a bit better. I'm kinda coiled out having tried every style execpt twisted...so I'll probably stick with this one for awhile...famous last words.

How's the draw on it? Seems like airflow could be a bit restricted?

Hmm... I'm going to try that.

I too am curious about that. Was also wondering about the vapor production. Once the wicks are wet the airflow seems like it would be pretty well sealed underneath. Looks nice though. Very neat.

I was a bit concerned about the air flow as well...happy to report all is well and cranking out thicker vapor than any other build yet, I put about 2ml in the tank just in case it didn't work...it fantastic and running on empty now, it definitely uses up juice a bit quicker. I'll be sticking with this wicking method for sure, just gonna vary resistance a bit, I think a lower ohm build will work well with that little extra wick touching the outside. Lemme know how it works for you guys, or if you make it better...naturally.

Thanks fellas

Hard to see in this pic, the wick exiting the right side of the coil goes down as normal, then makes a u-turn at the deck and gets tucked on the top exterior of the coil, then trim to match the length of the coil, on both sides of course...you guys get it, just thought I'd briefly explain.

Well I needed to build a new coil tonight, it was just acting a bit weird, so I tried this. I think I used a bit more cotton then you, and it did tight up the draw a bit but I like it.
