I was going to ask the same question. Got the seller's name or auction number?

I prefer authentic but if I am going to buy a clone, I would prefer that the manufacturer didn't copy the logos.

I'm not sure, but I think it's against our forum rules for me to post that - and I don't want to compromise the rules... I do think it's okay for you to PM me though...

I got the Tobeco clone from 101vape in my vapemail yesterday. No issues with it at all, great build quality and it works as advertised. Amazing flavor and vapor production. I started with a single parallel 24ga macro coil and it was decent, then swapped it out for dual 24ga microcoils and it really started singing. Vaping on a brass Nemesis clone w/VTC5.

Similar to my first built in it.

I'm waiting to hear back from 101 just to make sure that the copper PV is Tobeco (never thought I'd say that) The Mephisto I got from them is a Tobeco also and it's perfect.

I picked up my Acerig clone at a local brick&mortar and I absolutely love it. Flavor is great and it can really chuck the vapor. I had no issues with screws or getting it to sit pretty on my Maraxus. If you do pick one up (and I highly recommend owning one) make sure you take the time to tweak the delrin cap for airflow. I didn't touch it when I first started messing with it and wasn't getting the clouds I expected. After a few minutes of browsing forums/YT I realized my mistake lol. Fresh build and a few extra seconds getting the right amount of air up top and she is hitting good and clouding gooder lol.

The flavor isn't as strong as it would be in my Magma, but it's damn close. Gives it a solid run for it's money. 10/10 would buy again

I see you are in dallas, I live in Forney, what shop has the plume?

Where did you get it from? I am in Arlington.... I saw one at a local shop for $35, was not impressed with the build quality and was told it was Hcigar...?

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought there are air holes under the negative posts. so wouldnt centering the coils defeat the concept of getting air to the coils? I would assume the coils should be centered with the positive and negative posts on either side, staggered....????

The neg post holes come in from the right and left sides of the sleeve in my image. They continue straight through the neg posts and direct air that hits the posi T-post on either side which then directs the air to both sides of the posi T-post.

The neg post air holes are only about 1mm and essentially useless. About all they are good for is leaking. Decent design with poor implementation IMO.

Maybe this image will help...

Bingo. I've stopped using my PV as much as i first did because of this. Thing leaks like a sieve. If you don't build center post you can shut those stupid things with planning a build that lines up in between their adjustment holes. That's what i do now... slightly off center post builds. Maybe i'll just find some tiny things to jab in there permanently lol. Or i wonder... does a Tobh sleeve fit on the PV?
