Potential new BF RBA? I'll let you know!

So, the top of discussion here is this: Found 5 JUK23 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It looks to be a clone of the eBaron, and at that price there is absolutely nothing stopping me from ordering one and finding out. I don't care if it ends up as a doorstop or a paperweight, it's my $6.71 and I'll waste it if I want to! The drip tip seems to be a piece of the rba (Protank style) so it's a negative point, but it may be possible to cut the top off and use a drip tip.

But for serious, if this works out it would be amazing. The potential to have a backup ready to go for 90% less than some of the RBAs available is astounding to me. It won't replace my Cyclone or RM2, because those are just too perfect. But for a reonaut on a budget for the time being(edit: and posesses metalworking tools) it could be a good option.

Edit: so it's too big to fit. Totally overlooked that. Maybe it will be physically alterable to allow fit without an adapter.

Well.. diameter is 19mm so you know going in you'll need an adapter for it to go on your REO..

Looks a little flaired at the bottom like the Dripper Pro. For me the downside to the design is that it gets air from the bottom too. If there's enough room for air to get in there's enough for juice to get out. Having an oring in the dripwell is a huge plus for me.

Oh yeah. Oops. Forgot the spiral and the pro are different. That's what I get for only sleeping about 3 hours today. If the flare is just for aesthetics, then I'll try cutting it off.

So no good for people on a budget. But it might be a fun project for me!

I'll be waiting for your feedback. A co-worker of mine has a lathe and a Bridgeport so he might be able to remove the flair and allow it to fit the REO. It would be awesome if this could work.
