'Females buy purses to match their shoes. The same can be said for wanting a copper rba to match the copper slug.' :facepalm:

OK, sorry. Some people buy copper only because it is powerful and more extreme. I hope you have better luck finding more RBAs with copper accents locally, so you can feel comfortable going outside with your setup.

hahaha....I feel comfortable going out with it. It's tough to find copper 'anything' to go with the slug other than the 454 sof far but I'm looking for more of a tank or something like the big dripper which I love. I can get in a squape or a fogger though by waiting a couple of weeks. Any thoughts on that?

The only RTA I have used is the Billow, which comes in Black or SS. I like it because of the airflow, but don't like it because it got stuck on my stingray due to the grooves in the top cap of the stingray catching on the airflow grub screws on the underside of the Billow. If I was going to get something like the big dripper, it would be the Revel RDTA by EHpro (not a clone), but that doesn't come in copper either.

There are a ton of RDAs that come in copper or with copper accents. And sometimes, you can find clones in copper even when the authentic was never manufactured that way. But I also think SS looks good with copper. Sometimes black works too. I've never done brass with copper, but I probably would try it if I had a Vanilla mod. Some people like that look.

I just got this KingTu Skyline M6. It is fantastic. It's just like a Manhattan, except that the button is recessed and it has deep engravings all over the place which makes it really stand out. It is all copper, with copper switch and contacts. This is another mod that I found at rbavapor.com. I am not affiliated with that site, but they are one of my preferred vendors. I think they must carefully hand-pick and test the versions of the clones they sell, because everything I have received from there is high quality.

Just wanted to add that the above pictured skyline was kind of a blind purchase. I couldn't find any good video reviews of the KingTu clone anywhere. I couldn't even find many reviews of the authentic. I just thought that it looked cool and it probably worked like a manhattan. I was hoping that the bottom switch would line up with the logos, but wasn't sure that it would.... I was willing to take a chance. Because I haven't seen other good reviews, I decided to put up my own quick and to the point overview of this mod to help out anyone else looking for a good clone.

If anyone is interested, here it is:

Picked up an Oros clone last night because i was looking for a good new copper mech with little to no voltage drop. not sure who makes the clone but it was 60 bucks and the authentic is 220, my friend has one and we almost mixed them up when trying to find differences, so seems to be 1:1, full engravings and everything. The magma rda i have on there is also a clone (infinite) 1:1 full engraving brand name says Magma Paradigm. I like when clones have the authentic engravings because no one can tell its a clone. The magma is by far the best RDA iv ever used! Im not a cloud chaser or anything so flavor was what i was looking for, and after suckmymod's review of the infinite clone i just had to get it for 36 bucks shipped. Even though i like to flavor chase this RDA chucks in my opinion. The oros and the magma together look freaking sweet!!! With the brass ring on the magma and the full copper on the oros its classy as hell.

what do you guys think of my vapemass present to myself??

digging the setup, also nice quick simple review! Iv always wanted to start doing reviews as well man.. good luck with it!

Thanks. Most of the videos I have done in the past are private and in a different channel. But I just created that alternate channel just to have a separate place for vape-related videos... I don't intend to re-do reviews that have already been done by the popular reviewers.... unless they get it wrong. But I collect enough gear and try enough juice to have some expertise in this stuff. So I intend for it to be a future place for occasional views on stuff that I don't think has already been overdone. I don't plan on sharing it much more than with the vape community here and with a few of my vape friends in other countries.

I think its a great deal. The Oros is an awesome mod. Since you compared it identical to the authentic, I assume that the bottom switch is one-piece except for the button which is removable with a key? Where did you find it? I found mine at voltagevaporshop.com, but they appear to have been sold out since I purchased it. Other places for a 1:1 of this seem few and far between.

The Magma looks great on there too, I like the copper AFC ring that the clone comes with.

all reviewers started somewhere! who knows! they have the benefit of beta testing or whatever before things are released but it would be cool to get tons of views. i appreciate it! it is a 1:1 lone it is a one piece with sme sort of washers between the magnets but i love it. Your right the ring is copper. my bad. the only think i don't like a bout the fire button is find the sweet spot.

My Oros fires every time. I think the way that switch is designed is that it needs the battery to be in there tight. Make sure you have adjusted your top cap pin for this.

Lately I have been using a Lethal RDA clone that angelcigs started selling. I got it for only $13, but this thing is incredible! There weren't really many reviews of either the authentic or clone when I bought it, even though a few have popped up since then. I'm glad I took the gamble! I saw pictures and just had to try it out. What a great design. I can't believe that this clone is as good as it is for the price. It is 304 stainless steel with peek insulators, square posts, and it comes with an optional wide-bore top cap! I've been taking this RDA with me everywhere since I got it. Here is a picture of it on my skyline:

I did a quick 5-minute review of this one too, since I don't think enough people are talking about it yet.

Dimitri dual 18650 mechanical box clone and Mephisto V2 clone. The Dimitri is very, very well made and the Mephisto V2 is one of the best clone attys I've ever used.

wow! I was just looking at pictures of an authentic Dimitri box earlier today. Who makes the clone? And where can I get one?

This one is an Ivogo clone. I purchased it from Focalecig. I got it at release when it was $40. Price is now $50 due to Ivogo's minimum advertised price policy. It's on Fasttech as well with a note to email customer service for a discount code. It's a pretty darn nice box mod, IMO. Hits hard.

I just finished polishing and/or cleaning contacts on my favorite mods and they all look really good! This is the majority of my collection minus the mods and attys that I don't really use anymore...

L0WMaQX.jpg


A: Ivogo Onslaught on a Shenxi Slug. I use this all the time, at least every other day.
B: Acerig Plumeveil 1.2 (no logos) on an HCigar Nemesis. This is actually the least used out of any of these, but it works fine and I just polished it, so I thought I would throw it in.
C: Tobeco Stillare on a Vapetech Pegasus.
D: Doge (authentic) on a FUhattan
E: Tugboat v2 (authentic) on a Vapetech Overdose. I use this setup at least once every day.
F: Fasttech Stillare v3 (SKU 1859601) on a Fasttech Cartel (SKU 1758709). These are both excellent and I use this setup often.
G: Angelcigs Lethal on a KingTu Skyline M6. This is my newest setup, but I am loving it! I often take this to work with me.
H: Freakshow (authentic) on an Onyx clone (from seller named brentleim on ebay)
I: Mutation v2 (authentic) on a XXIX clone (also from brentleim on ebay)
J: Vapetech Mephisto on a Paragon clone (from seller name mavenvapor on ebay). I had to modify the top cap pin on this Paragon to get my attys to sit flush. Its great now, but mavenvapor probably doesn't test the stuff he sells.
K: Dark Horse (authentic) on a Cigreen Oros. This setup gets daily use. Its fantastic.
L: Tobh v2.5 (authentic) on an A-Mod FM
M: Ivogo Little Boy on a Shenxi Panzer Red Phoenix
N: Brass Monkey (authentic) on a Caravela clone (from a private trade)
O: Angelcigs Lancia on an Angelcigs Steampunk. This is a once in-awhile vape. With 4 coils in the Lancia, the amount of flavor is enjoyable, but too much for an ADV.

So thats it, my current best-of. I have a black A-Mod SMPL in the mail along with another BIllow. And I would love to experiment with a mech box that uses dual parallel 18650s (like the Dimitri) so that I can safely try pushing some crazy amps to my builds. ;)
