Perhaps this is just loud and clear to testament to my laziness, but I've been buying 4 250ml bottles each time I order a liter from NN. That way I only have 1/4 of a liter out of the freezer at a time, and I can just keep on using that nifty top that the v2 comes with to extract what I need with the syringe.

More expensive this way, but my eyes have glazed over when it comes to price. I will be vapin' happy "free of charge" for the next 10+ years!
Smart as braking litres down to 50 or 100ml bottles is a royal P.I.T.A.

Also re: cost... I laugh when people complain about paying a few extra bucks for a litre of 100mg NIC, wouldn't pay extra for smaller bottles or say certain vendors are too expensive. I happily pay about $80US for high quality NIC. Even if it was $200, I could care less. A litre at my current 6mg/5ml a day pace will last me 10 YEARS!!! I have a 40 year supply for just over $300. Not too shabby!

I have 4 authentic Kabukis and they are great. The clone in your link looks pretty good though for $10. I would check it out as you never know. I recently picked up a bunch of Ehpro Kayfun Lite Plus tanks for $5 each and they are VERY close in quality to my $100 authentics. Unbelieveably close actually, so you never know.

I laughed at this line of B.S. in the description though....

Let me bounce an idea off you.

I bought my Kayfun Mini V3 from Fasttech and the darn thing came with a serial number on tge bottom.

Is IT possible they are selling seconds to Fasttech fully authentics but slight blemishes or in my Kayfun Mini tge channel for the drip tip o rings 2-3 thousandths too deep and allowing it to leak.

Even a moderator here had both a Goblin Mini clone abd authentic. The clone came fron FT and she said tge clone was just as good or better than the authentic.

I am going to put denral floss under the drip tip o rings if my Kayfun Mini V3.

My Kayfun clones are black and the bases are a little different, so I doubt they are authentic seconds. I bought them from Health Cabin also. China, but not FT.

You may be on to something though. What would Svoemesto do with blem or seconds? Nobody would pay $80-150 for one....

Their "Get This Deal Now" link takes you to 3avapes. There is no feedback yet on that tank. I might try Fasttech and look for one with plenty of good feedback. As Two_Bears pointed out, you can get them at Fasttech for around the same price.

Generally speaking, is Fast Tech more reliable than 3AVape?

At least they could recover thd cost of the materials by selling to a reseller.

I chuckled at that line too!! If the flavor the clone delivers is as good as the Kabuki, I'd be thrilled beyond belief. If the clone delivers almost as good as the Kabuki, I'd still be thrilled. I just can't quite buy that this $10 clone is supposed to be better than the authentic Kabuki!

I saw those Kayfun lites for $5 too and I want to get some of them.

I honestly don't know. I know nothing about 3avapes. But Fasttech seems to be the "go-to" place for many folks on this forum.

eta: Look for EHPro Kayfun Lite Plus V2s. There are still some around in the states. That's what I've been buying since everywhere I read claims EHPro make an excellent KFL+V2 clone. They look really nice to me.

I have never bought from 3Avape.

I have probably bought from Fasttech 30 times or more. I can recommend them HIGHLY.

Only 1 product didn't work. (A $5 battery pack) i have been so pleased with everything' else u didn't even complain about the battery pack.

Once i bought the 528 custom Monster v3 base instead of the Kayfun size. I caught the mistake before shipping and canceled that part of the order. FT refunded my money for the 528 custom bases in 3 hours.

As long as FT treats their customers right they have a customer for life!

I have been talking these up so much on ECF that I am starting to think that I own Health Cabin and Ehpro (I don't). :cool: Best vaping deal I have likely ever seen though.

These are just unreal for $5. I built one for my wife and she wants two more over her Nautilus Mini and Triton Mini. I would buy more, but I have 8 KFL+ total and a ton of assorted authentic and FT replacement parts. Add that to a bunch of other tanks, I consider myself stockpiled.:)

I don't think there are many left, so if you want to grab a few, I would do it very soon....

I just checked on FT's front page. It says up to 15% off July 3. So, not on the fourth?

Sunday (at least for the past few weeks) is their normal "up to 15% off " sale on just a handful of things. You can find them at the top of their home page under Community, them Customer Forums, and then from left handside of page Promotions. This Sunday the sale of vape stuff is only G4 coil heads, Kanthal A1, Samsung batteries, and Kanger ssocc coil heads.

They haven't posted a July 4th sale yet but expect they will.

Not so surprising, if it is a 1:1 clone the function might be identical out of the box. The corner cutting to hit the price point could mean some might have sloppy tolerances and leak or have less than buttery threading, lower quality o-rings, insulators, low or no QC, etc...

A fair amount or maybe even most of a clone run might turn out to be acceptable though, certainly has happened before.
