Lol, believe me, there are definitely quality clones out there that are actually better than the originals.
They have all of the above - google would help you instead of just complaining about Facebook. Funny thing is I only use Facebook to buy gear you can't find otherwise.

Hellfire Mods - Master Attysmith - Hand crafted atomisers and mods for discerning vapers

FYI - China never makes clones anywhere close to the actual quality of what is being cloned. If you really look at the people having problems with performance or safety, it is typically a clone that caused it.

I can't get my hands on a Viper, I think they must have only sold on facebook.
They do pop up on the site from time to time. It all depends on what project Darren is currently working on at the moment.
Currently there's a batch of the 22mm BF atty's on the site and hopefully he's devoting most of his time right now to getting the squonker out.
If there's enough demand maybe after that he'll do a run of Vipers. The FB group helps gauge the demand.
I really hope he does do another run soon as I'm wanting a 3rd. The 22mm is nice but I prefer the 14mm.

If you call stealing a design and making it with child labor with lesser quality material better, have at it.
I've got a lot of high end gear, plus I've got a lot of clones. Guess what? They all work the same. I could care less where they're made or how they're made.

That's some pretty serious accusations.

Could you please provide proof of your claims?
Which clone is made using child labor?

The false rhetoric gets old after a bit.
Let's see some proof or it didn't happen.

Hot damn. The bottle carrier is wild. Time to start saving some cash.
Yeah it definitely looks different. Seems like a much better system than the VFS and should make changing the bottle pretty easy. I'm real curious to see how the 510 is going to work. I love that he's making both 22 and 14mm top caps!
Really hope he does a list for these and that it won't be an F5 fest.
If I don't make it, then I'ma definitely grab me another REO. I think I'm done with regulated squonkers.

Give up already and please try to keep on topic of this amazing hand made mod from the UK. Very few will have the pleasure of having one and the rest will never know what they missed.

Wow! Will be hard pressed to see someone come out with a better design.

Now to wait for the 18650 version and sell my first born to afford it [emoji2]

The bottle carrier design is pure genius - love how the bottle screws into the top cap of the carrier. I'm afraid I'll probably not have my vape budget fortified enough by the time these hit. Dropping $800 on two mods and who knows how much on attys in the last couple of weeks has me kind of tapped out. I just hope I can score one second hand on FB at some point. It's probably wishful thinking to imagine these will be in continuous production.

looks like a really unique design approach but I have a few doubts..
the bottle cylinder looks interesting but what would be the real advantage of it? it just seems that there are more steps in order to fill it.

the switch is the most unique feature as it doesn't involve a lever attached to the positive pin/feed tube; it's a bit more in line with wooden squonkers as the body isn't conducting so the negative is the positive (I hope I made myself clear) so there must be something really interesting going on bellow the 510 but at the same time could give rise to certain v-drop issues.

it is great to see a nice 18490 squonker

Agreed. The bottle seems a bit inset as well which could be tougher to squonkers. Sexy though.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I noticed. Seems like it might be harder to squonk but I'm still willing to give it a go.
Worse case is I'll just turn around and sell it for rrp.

I'm curious where this "$450" price came from. I haven't seen any price listed yet, just speculation.

Cool lookin' device!
Nifty bottle-frame, nifty button, nifty 510 connector, great finish.
I'm surprised at the 18500 form though - because there's such a limit on batteries, and so many people DO want to squonk at low ohms.

There are 18500 cells with CDR of 15A-18A which will be good for 0.28-0.23 builds not factoring in voltage drop or headroom. Battery life would suck pretty hard though.
