I am going to give you different advise. Save your money and buy a quality original. Here is an example.

The Atmizoo Roller is one of your less expensive originals. It is a upper side button Mech. At today's exchange rate with the Euro, it is $147.20.

There is a sigelei Clone of the Roller. It is the #20

Reasons for buying the original.
1)The threading tolerances are better on the Roller than the #20.
2) The #20 only comes with the extended 510 connection and no flush one. The Roller came with both.
3) The first Version #20 had bad bottom springs and bad top pins in the battery bay.
4) V1 and V2 were found to have power buttons that went bad and the mod would go into continuous firing
5) V3 has a short in the system.
6) No spare parts, no support, no instruction manual, etc. You could find the replaceable V3 heads in the UK, but not in the States.
7) No rebuildable parts are available for the #20. You can with the Roller.
8) On the Roller there have been a couple of upgrades to the device. They were provided to the original owners, free of charge. They offer a lot of support for their product.
9) You can get the Roller in Matte finish SS, Ice finish SS, or Polished finish SS. Of if you order custom, you can get various finishes on different parts, for a little more money.
10) If you need a part for the Roller, you write them an email, sent funds, and the part is on the way. Who do you write to, for parts, complaints, for information, help, etc. on the sigelei #20?

So if I had bought all 3 versions of the #20, at an average of $35 a piece, and because they broke, it would be $105 plus shipping. This does not include when Version 4 comes out, or if it will work properly. I would be out another $35.

Basically, cheap clones, should be considered disposables.
