Anybody know where I can get the KFL plus and the Magma at the same place, trying to save on shipping costs.

The Magma seems to be selling out quickly. Still haven't been able to order mine yet, either, so the hunt is on.

Check out focalecig. They have many kayfuns to choose from, and a magma clone tucked away.

It's a hard decision with the authentic KFLs at $100 Versus some decent clones at half or less than that. But $145 is quite a stretch for a device that has less machining and parts than kayfun.


I think that todays clone market is probably forcing the prices of originals upwards seeing as how the maker has such a small window of time to cash in on their creation. A couple months if they're lucky.

I think that has a lot to do with it. there are some who will pay anything for a new gadget. I didn't have a problem paying $100 for the authentic KFL but $145 is pushing it for me.

    But what if they were reasonably priced to start off with so people could afford the genuine item , seems like they'd sell a lot more of them .

    I think they would still lose out to the Clone market. If they release something at $30, China would still sell their clones for $10 and folks would buy those. It's happened to other RDA's before now.

    Yeah but if they sold the genuines in the $50 range I think a lot more people would opt for that myself included , I wish they'd get the price of the genuine KFL's down to the $75 dollar range , you're still looking at $100 or dam near it including shipping , it would make it a bit easier to justify saving for one especially with some of the new RBA's coming out .

    I would never pay $145 for a genuine Magma. Just wouldn't do it. Everyone has their price and $145 is beyond my limit. If I bought a Magma I would get a quality clone. It's the only way I will have a magma. If clones were not available then i would do without. Not that I have one now but just sayin'. This would apply to any topper. An authentic Kayfun stretched my limits as it was but I did it and I don't regret it (not to mention the cloners were not around when I got my first KFL)..

    He's bought authentic Kayuns in the past. But man, at $145....!
    I know he has but I'm kinda thinking he has bigger fish to fry after losing that Provari , and Mama Chak might fry him if he spends $250 plus shipping on 2 attys , I could be wrong on the first part but doubt if I am about the second . :)

    Agreed that's too much for any RDA , it's not realistic IMO .
