i haven't had any issue with switch yet. throw isn't bad, and it doesn't stick. but the reverse thread thing throws me off occasionally.. close the lock, and battery drops out. but got used to how much i need to turn and so on. actually the set up is nice. only thing that really gets to me is that magma 510 is little long and it doesn't sit flush. the "M" logo is ok. looks more etched/laser engraved then anything else. penny on the bottom looks great.
Post pictures of your high quality clones!

Isn't the top cap pin adjustable? The 1:1 penny currently on FT is advertised that way. I bet you could get your magma to sit all the way down.
Wow, thats a great picture! I think Vapetech makes some great quality clones. They perform perfectly and the engravings are well done.
it is adjustable. but magma, and Stillare v3 510 pins are slightly longer than others. some grinds the positive pin. i thought about using copper washer, but i think tobh sits flush and i have other mods and atties coming in.
Tobeco Stillare on a Shenxi Slug Mod. Both are fantastic. I think the slug mod clone looks better and is more precisely machined than the authentic. I love it.
The Shenxi Slug clone is absolutely fantastic. Just received mine yesterday. Amazing build quality - I'm unsure how the authentic could be much better.
Nice mod! I have seen some authentic reviews, I think by Todd and a clone comparison by Twisted, and the authentic has weird vertical gaps in the wood (the pieces don't fit perfectly) and the battery cover kind of juts out if you screw your atty flush so you can't set the mod down flat on a table. This is why I said that I think the clone beats the authentic, since it doesn't have those problems. It is perfect.
The Caterpillar on top ia an authentic but the nemesis is a clone. I really like it seems pretty dang nice over all but i will do the magnet upgrade. I really like the way look and fit together.
The main reason that I upgraded mine is that my HCigar clone had bad threading on the rings it came with and the spring wasn't strong enough to prevent the device from self-firing when I set it down. It does work better with the magnets, in my case. I got them from fatdaddyvapes.

Im upgrading mine because the sqitch isnt very smooth. The spring in this one is pretty strong but i want it a bit smoother. The threads on mime are great. Just a counter clock wise turn to line em up and they go right together.
And this is a Vapetech Overdose. The Tugboat is the real deal, but this Overdose clone is really awesome. Its one of the few copper mods that I don't polish regularly, because I think a mod with "overdose" engraved in it should have a little bit of a patina. This is also solid copper with great magnets. The engravings are deep. I like the way this mod feels in my hand.
Liking that super wide drip tip. First time I've seen one like that. Did it come like that?
It didn't come like that. Although I have many chuff clone drip tops and similar wide-bore drip tips, that one is authentic. Its the flawless steam stack drip top. It fits perfectly and, IMO, makes the tugboat v2 much better. I think I got it from bevapehappy.
EDIT: that is where I got it. I even left a review on that site. Its excellent.

1:1 Semovar V3 Tetris Edition
I don't own one of these...YET... but God willing I will.
Maybe it's just the geek in me but dang that thing is gorgeous!!!
Shenxi Panzer Red Phoenix with an Ivogo Little Boy. Both of these clones are perfect. I think the Dark Horse is a slightly better design than the little boy, but Ivogo got the Little Boy design perfectly and it does chuck the clouds. The Shenxi Panzer is also perfect. It is a powerful mod with perfectly executed design. I think these devices look great together.
You need to build the Tobh at a lower resistance. It has much more airflow and is designed for more power than you would use to vape a magma.
i'll try it at .5 ohm this weekend. it's set up to .8 right now with dual coil. it seems to give better flavor if i close the AFC a little.
If it was my Tobh, I would build it with 24g wire at .21 ohm. I think you should aim to drop that .8 in half to start out. Then you will get an idea of if you want to go lower. Its a mech mod. And a Tobh. .5 is still a touch high.
