Paragon V2 Midnight Edition Clone

[shreduhsoreus]

I don't see much talk on here about this mod so I figured I would give a quick review of the one I just received.


I got it from EZVaper and so far I'm loving it. I haven't tested the voltage drop or anything like that, but I can say that it hits pretty hard. I have a .5 ohm build on it right now and compared to my MVP 3(which maxes at out 3.9V on a .5 build) it definitely seems to hit way harder. So I would venture to say that the drop is under .2 under load, but this is just a rough guess.

This isn't an exact 1:1 clone but as far as I know the only difference is that is the center pin isn't floating, it's threaded. The carbon fiber looks and feels real(based on comparison to the CF on the authentic V3 my local shop has) and it looks fantastic. Firing button is fairly smooth but I'm going to switch out the spring for some magnets anyway. Threading is pretty smooth too and the adjustable pin seems to fit all of my atomizers and it seems like you could use either a flat top or button top 18650(but don't quote me on that, I'm using a flat top).


For $30, I'd say this was a good buy. It looks amazing, feels great, is comfortable to fire and hits pretty hard. Anyone considering this mod I would say just give it a shot.


Came with a little carrying bag too that feels like some kind of felt, which was a nice touch to go with it.

One of my local b&M's has a white authentic Paragon for sale. Sharp looking, but $150 for an aluminum tube seems a bit excessive to me. (Especially since I seem to be gravitating toward hybrid/recessed topcaps for the cleaner look, shorter stance, and potential for lower voltage drop.)

$30 sounds like a good deal though.

That's the V3 then, and I agree, it does look pretty sharp(especially the white one), but I think they really downgraded when they made the V3. There's less carbon fiber and they switched from copper to aluminum. My preferred local shop has a few of them too, but when I held one in my hand it just felt way too cheap and light to justify spending over 100 bucks on. I'd venture to say it has a worse voltage drop than the V2 being that it's aluminum instead of copper.
