Original! why Quality anyone want to buy a nemesis clone with screwed up threads only 2 months old Total lose 35 bucks 
A lot of people will say oh they can't afford an Original Well can you afford to keep replacing the clones?
a few more clones a few more months and I could have bought an Original for 200.00

Ahhh, the lies people will tell to justify the money they spend on the originals.
Why not just admit you bought it for the bling factor? It's a show-off piece. You use it to brag.
Now, let's be totally honest here....
If your original mech mod had absolutely no logo, no serial number, and nothing at all that designated it as anything special. Just a blank tube with no identification of any kind on it. Would you still pay just as much for it?
I have a broken 2 month old Nemesis that aint no lie I don't consider any vaping gear show off pieces not even my Reo's or my Provari's
let alone some POS clones Get a grip on your self!

I've used some originals from friends and I have yet to find one that justifies the higher price tag. I'll stick to my clones. Yet copying the logos off of the originals is a low blow.

I love that your default response is to mock and disparage other vapers.
I have both originals and clones - I certainly don't buy originals to impress anyone, and I certainly don't feel I have to justify my purchases to anyone.
I think you'll find that most people buy originals because they can. They have a little bit of extra cash and they choose to spend it on something that they appreciate and enjoy owning.
To call these people liars and braggarts is quite disrespectful and completely incorrect for most.
I started off buying clones/replicas. After owning them and getting the hang of proper maintenance and being careful (even though its a clone), i bought myself something that caught my eye just as a birthday present for myself. It isn't the hardest hitting mod out there, nor does it out perform a clone, but knowing i have my hands on something that someone took time and effort to create feels like i'm one of the very few who shared this feeling with me.
I finally held an authentic nemesis, and after owning a nemesis from hcigar for months, i can definitely feel the difference in materials. Machining on an authentic is just more precise and sharp; it just feels better. If anyone hasn't just sat down and admired an authentic for a good minute or so instead of just holding it and checking it out, i suggest you do it. Sounds pretty lame but I admire unique things.

Clones are cheap and generally work up to par with the authentic variant. However, buying an authentic does support the original manufacturer! It really depends what you can afford financially
I start with clones if I like how the clone performs I will buy the real deal to support the maker.
If I could afford a genuine original I would purchase them, clones allow me to have a few great looking mods for a decent price.

As a guy with 4 dependents in a single income family, I would absolutely love to have the disposable income to be able to invest in OEM products. However, I don't. Since this is the case, I research heavily into the clone stuff, find the ones with the least amount of problems, and make my purchase.
I'm all over the spectrum on clones vs real deal !!
from e2's to GG's ,rare items to prototypes and back again,its what i like and how it works ,not how much it costs or don't cost
no supporting the modder or anything else ,,i supported BT long enough as it was
now i support myself !!
ie,hated the evolv kick,but love the segelei kick,,go figure

I buy clone because I'm broke, but I know that it's not ethically correct and it's bug me, I feel cheap for the developer of the original product. I prefer to buy a clone that is clearly identified as a clone, example; Hercule, Magoo, etc, instead of clones with the Ithaka logo.
Excuse my English it's not my natural language.

Clones because I like shiny things and do not have the budget to afford shiny things lol.
Would love to own a couple of authentic mods and someday I will, but until then I will stick to clones solely for the reason that I can afford them.
I'm not saying that cloning is right or ethical, I'm saying that sometimes life is not perfect and you do what you have to do to support your need of new shiny things lol
Also my wife would kill me if I spent what some of the authentics cost, then I couldn't support the real guys or the clonners and that doesn't seem good for any of them!

My clones are 4 months or older - threads are great - straw man argument to assume clones will have screwed up threads ever, much less in 3 months.Original! why Quality anyone want to buy a nemesis clone with screwed up threads only 2 months old Total lose 35 bucks

Quick math 10 is more than a few. $20 neme on Fast Tech x 10 = $200. One to go, one to show, and 8 for spare parts should last as long as the original or sell six on ebay and vape the other 4 for free...

Do a lot of these creators go after the guys stealing their intellectual property, or the ones selling them in their vape shops and sites?
I know V3tronix does.
Do a lot of them go after them or do they just figure that's part of the business?
