Great, thanks. Wow, so there's (hopefully) two real 1:1 clones on the market. That's great news.

I'm just about to order both the Ivogo and the SXK at 3F so I'll report back in 8 days or so as to how they compare.

If the SXK is as good quality - which I have confidence it will be, because their 1:1 clones are, in my experience, very 1:1 - then it will be a tempting proposition because it costs $11 less. The difference being the included decks

So you can pay $33 for five decks, or $22 for one. Or, as I'm doing, $22 + $3.50 + $3.50 = $29 for three decks. I only want those three (W + B + D) not all five, so that's a good option for me. I can't see a need for the S and C decks.

Oh, and the SXK has one other advantage - a nice choice of colours! :) Either as part of the full kit, or as optional tank sleeves/AFCs. Although I guess if both Ivogo and SXK really are fully 1:1, then they will be interchangeable anyway (and with the authentic as well.)

I never did have any luck with the S & C decks, especially the Curved one. If they hadn't started selling the B & D decks and bell cap separately, I would've had to go with the Ivogo. Would love your comparison notes on these.

Actually I decided to spend $29 for my SXK, getting the red one - or rather, the one that has two sleeves, both the standard silver and red: SXK SQRS Reloaded Squape RS RTA Atomizer with Red Sleeve

a) I like the look of the red
b) I very much like having spares for tanks - not so much for breakage/loss, but so that I can quickly change flavours without having to clean so much of the atomizer. With a spare glass and sleeve, I can do a quick flavour change with a minimum of cleaning with alcohol.

(Although not sure if these Squape clones come with a spare glass - unless it's part of the "pack of accessories." @nelsonm64 did your Ivogo have a spare glass tank section?)

They did a thoroughly good job and also cloned the original box, papers in it and all. In German.


It's Stattqualm, a Swiss producer. A nice word game because it means as a replacement for smoke.
thats all great but i really think copying the box etc etc is a step too far and just encourages people to flog them on ebay as authentics and rip people off. Just saying...I mean, if its a clone the important thing is that it vapes and performs as well as or close to the real thing right?? Why the box and packaging etc??? Its a fake in that case. There is, to my mind, an important difference.

Well, you missed the sarcastic tone of what I wrote.Nobody needs an exactly copied box.
Apart from that, a clone is a fake anyway. Even if you try to order one without logos on it, according to product potos in a shop, you might get afully plastered one with everything on it. Happened to me with the Hotcig GT2 again.

But let's ot start a clone/fake discussion in a nice clone thread

I did miss it and I wasnt trying to start a clone vs original argument either. There is enough of that around. Lets carry on with original topic!! My bad!

Mine came 2 days ago with the colored tank set. The aluminium tank fits perfectly on my authentic R & Rs. Have not tried the deck yet cos my setup is still working beautifully and a bit busy now. I am sill waiting for my 316 5 deck set to arrive. The tank is definitely 1: 1. I only use the bottom deck now on my authentic. These new clones are definitely better than the previous ones.

News from Stattqualm. They have announced a tank enlargement. It is a piece of metal that you can screw on and it gives you 2,3ml more tank capacity for your Squape. Let's see how long it takes our Chinese friends to make that one. Curious to see whether it works with the Squape Rs, too. Will be available next week or so.

No, that already was the idea behind the tank enlargement of the Flash e Vapor V3, which has 9ml with it. So that's already taken. Sorry Stattqualm, too late for that. :lol:

By the way, I am just vaping the FeV V3 Eiffel Tower. 7,5 centimetres without drip tip. Don't know how much in inch. Makes you quite a lazy vapor, cause you don't have to refill that often........

The O Ring Store.

I would tell Eciggity you can't video missing o rings because they sit in tiny grooves inside the metal tank, and you don't have laproscopy cameras :rolleyes:
hi again roxynoodle
yes answered something similar ,,no reply . looking at this thing one of the o rings should not be to bad since it lays in a groove.
the other got me puzzeled it goes on the outside of the glass tube ? I don't see any grove for it !
the only video I could find had the o ring installed already when they slid in the glass one . I cant see how that would work in my set up.
not to happy with eciggity the worst problem I ran into with any atty clone ever .
so if you know of any link to a video let my know . cindy is sending me some orings thanks.
I am waiting on an aromamizer to come in the mail , have high hopes for it.

There are actually two grooves. One is slightly above the windows, and the other is slightly below. What worked for me was to get an o ring started, then hold it in place with a screwdriver while I used my finger to work around pressing the rest into the groove. I wasn't good at it, lol! It took me several tries each. The top groove was easier for me.
