It's been awhile since I bought mine. It cost me $$$ and took a month from Russia. I like it, but had I known I would find clones just as good I would never have done it. I am a machinist mechanic by trade and comparing the Ehpro clone to the real thing its just as good so good in fact if I threw it all in one pile, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to pick out some of the pieces. performance is Identical in flavor and vapor using an copy coil, wick and juice.

Mt Baker Vapor has the Russian 91% V2 for $102.95 and you can use a 10% coupon code for $10.00 off so your total would be $92.69 and free shipping. http://www.mtbakervapor.com/
Also if you order from the above link they will give ya a free 15 ml of any juice you want just in the comment box put what ya want for flavor and such and they will send it to you, shipping is very quick ordered mine Saturday and got it today :)
This place has the Kayfun lite for $99.95 and they also have the Russian 91% for $92.50 http://www.vapinart.com/ Not sure what the shipping is.

I have also watched reviews of both of these side by side and they say they are just about the same..I just got my Russian 91% in the mail today so haven't gotten to build it yet..House work day :(

I tried getting the real kayfun from Vaporev and they are always out of stock and someone told me about the web site that I posted but that was after I put my order in for the Russian from Mt.Baker..I have ordered from them before and haven't been disappointed on the juice I have tried so far..Shipping is also great usually in 4 days and I'm CT..So that is quick..I think even if I had a choice of which one I think I would still get the Russian..Well took my vape break so time to get this house done..To much time on these forums and watching Youtube videos and housework has been lacking..lol I now have some dust bunnies running around along with my birds feathers that are floating and dog hair, think my computer is going to suffocate soon..Ooopppsssssssss it just coughed up a dust bunny and some feathers..lol

WOW! I had no idea. I ought to print this out for my hubby, who thinks I spent too much on my Kanger! What is it that makes them worth so much more? I mean, the real ones and the clones, why are they so much pricier than other brands?

Generally speaking authentic versions are made better (original design, engineering, raw materials used, machining, finish, and attention to detail). Clones are made cheaper in order to be sold cheaper. They can have some problems with the machining, finish, or attention to detail; as seen in this review of a Taifon clone, by Rip Trippers: The Fogger RBA Taifon Clone by Rip Trippers



Then he has good things to say about the authentic Kayfun Lite:

Because the real ones are made very well..That is why my hubby let me get the real deal, he said he would rather have me buy the good one at that price instead of getting me the cheap one that might not last that long..He said if the first one crapped the bed and he had to buy me another then it would be the same price, but if you look at a clone they are in the $40.00 +range so you might as well go the extra mile and pay the extra 45 - 50 for a good one, but just my thought

I went through sooo many reviews, rip trippers and grimmgreen settled me on the kayfun, however $100 was way more than my budget would allow. Especially since I had to get 2. The svoemesto was by far the best clone that I found.

SvoeMesto makes the authentic Kayfun. I have no problem with clones, unless they are copied to the point of being counterfeit. There is no reason for a clone to have "designed in Russia, made in Germany" on the bottom (like the SvoeMesto) except to confuse people.

I got my Svoe from Vaperev and have a very nice clone from this vendor: Black Edition Kayfun V3 - Custom Mod Creation

I agree with this 100% it makes me pretty angry to see someone tag a copy item with a brand name its just not rite even if they say hey this is a clone we are making, I still hate seeing the Original Manufacturer name on the item its like stealing there soul. That part of clones I will never like.

Not sure about the authenticity of the story, but this was a topic of discussion at my local vape shop. The SvoeMesto Kayfun was designed and manufactured by three individuals. There was a business falling out. The main engineer designer left the group to make the Russian 91%; although the KF was his design he didn't own the right to call it the Kayfun. This is why the Kayfun and Russian are so similar to each other.

Same story I heard, makes sense to me. looking at my Russian and My KFL pretty much a carbon copy other then Writing. If I had to pick the best clone of the KFL it would for sure be the Ehpro, they are made very nice. Parts interchange easily with the authentic, heavy insulator press fit in place. Liquid channels are Ball milled nice and clean, and unit is concentric.

Yep, that's the scoop for sure. And they feed off each other too, incorporating each others design and trying to improve it. Saltlake Vapor had both the 91% and full Russian last time I looked for $90 & $95 receptively. The Russian is not a clone, but the Russian has been cloned.

With rba's authentic is always the best option.

After a bit of research and digging and all I found out that my "clone" isn't a clone at all... So I actually got a great deal.
