I would consider buying one next time I place a FT order, but it's really more out of curiosity to see how it compares to the authentic. The Recurve is a bargain in my opinion at $25. I picked up several of them at that price.
Not sure why they didn't put 'Recurve' on the outside of the cap. They put Mike Vapes name on the base for God's sake. Really?
I can't put mine down. Running it on both of my current all day setups. I still use the Nudge here/there, but the airflow is SO smooth on the Recurve.

Recurve airflow is super smooth and a bit more restricive that the Pulse22. I like them both with different builds/different juices/at different powers.
I grabbed the authentic Recurve locally @$35 and am leaning to it more than the juice hog Pulse22.

Cheap vaping deals has the Recurve advertised for $20.
I have the Recurve. Great little atty for the price. Kinda made me review my use of dual coil RDAs. I get just the right airflow and flavour off the Recurve, pulled the Drop RDA to compare on the same juice. Bit less flavour on the Drop for me. So at the moment I've shelved the dual coils. Can't really be bothered, burn through twice as much juice and battery for little benefit. Don't particularly dislike Mike Vapes but everything is brilliant with him I notice and I've had some real issues with tanks he's raved about. The Peerless SE has a build deck that is too fiddly for its own good and a none to good airflow IMO and the Drop, great for flavour and airflow but I really dislike those dangling wicks that seem to not work too well after a relatively short period of time. I guess much of it is just down to preference, but listen to Mike and it's "Yeah, they nailed it with this one"

Replace those guys with TVP, Vaping Vic and Legion, and we're on par
I love Legion Vapes! Great honest reviews. He's from Australia I believe.
i bought one from 2f deal and the air holes don’t lineup! i read on FT that’s the case for some as well.. beware.
I heard that they fixed this issue and they sent out replacement tops. New orders are good ones... I hope
Serves em right for cloning a $25 RDA that's in stock everywhere.
TVP never let me down so far. It's a shame his output is so low at the moment.
Vic babbles a bit too much sometimes. Most of the time. Ok. Always. But I like him nonetheless. I don't know exactly why though.
Legion is always lagging a bit behind with his reviews. But I like his style.
DJLsb is my go to reviewer for the technical aspects of mods though.
Ralphy? Never heard of him. Might give that one a try
DJLsb has been giving passes to some mediocre gear if he is friends with the originator. I am not the only person who has noticed this nonsense. The Pulse 80 watt squonk mod was given a pass on temperature control because he is good friends with Tony B.
Considering there aren't too many technical reviewers out there, DJLsb is the least annoying imo.
I don't give a s**t about any reviewers' thoughts most of the time anyway.
First and foremost they have to deliver good shots of the reviewed item in an entertaining way and present the facts.
Whether the item is worth a purchase, everyone should decide for himself though.
Daniel can give a pass to whatever he wants, but nevertheless most of the time his shots and charts are accurate and anyone should be able to make up his own mind based upon that.
I respect your opinion of course my friend. Being a simple-minded man, I just like reviewers to be totally honest, first and foremost, not some of the time, all of time.
Honesty is very subjective, as is reviewing.
Being human, every reviewer is biased.
Simple as that. To believe that there's only a single objective reviewer out there is naive. Some of them just might match our subjective views more than others.
DjLsb at least delivers standardized facts and charts for everyone to compare on his own.

I can see that you insist on getting the last word in my friend. With that in mind, I will not comment further. I apologize in advance, but I will never be another one of Daniels shoe shine fanboys.
I am not the only one who has noticed Daniels nonsense. I say no more.

Fanboy? No. Far from it, buddy.
He hasn't even a single clue when it comes to atties for example, and I think he's an arrogant snob, but when it comes to "prattling nonsense" about the technical side of mods, there are a whole bunch of reviewers out there that are a lot worse.

Mike Vapes has become a dishonest corporate sellout with zero integrity.I have the Recurve. Great little atty for the price. Kinda made me review my use of dual coil RDAs. I get just the right airflow and flavour off the Recurve, pulled the Drop RDA to compare on the same juice. Bit less flavour on the Drop for me. So at the moment I've shelved the dual coils.

I hear what you are say'n. But Many Times reviewing is set up to Encourage slanted reviews.
Take this Example:
I was approached by a Distributor that wanted me to do reviews. And as an Enticement, I was offered a Commission on ever Sale that was made with Click-Thru of my Review.
Of course I turned them Down. But you can see where a Person could be Biased to give those Gushing "This is a Game Changer" reviews when a Commission is based on what they say.
There is also the People who are in it for the Free Swag. The Problem with that is if You Don't keep saying how Great what you get is, the OEM's won't keep sending the Free Stuff.
Back in the Day, actual Users used to do reviews. So a MTL-er wouldn't be doing a Review on the Latest Cloud Chucker. And since there Wasn't any Money tied things, user just told it like it was.
Today, the Vast Majority of Reviews is Infomercial Based.
All I look for in a Review these day are Shots of what the Product looks like that I can't get from Still Photos. And Reviewer's wearing Long Sleeve Shirts under Hoodies in 58 Degree Rooms telling me how Great the Clouds something makes aren't meaningful.
I wouldn't know...He hasn't reviewed anything I have any interest in a very long time. I do like the intake rta, but I cringe every time I see him say anything. It's like he's convinced himself vaping would be dead without him. I liked him when he was new. His success has gone straight to his head. I'll give him props for making himself a success though.... that is, if he defines success as being a popular vape reviewer. Personally, that's not how I define success.
BTW - One of my Favorite Reviews is Rip Tripper.
Not because I have a Man-Crush on Rip Tripper. Or because I value his Opinion on what is Good or Bad.
But because his Video's have Crystal Clear Close-Ups with Professional Lighting. And he uses lots of Jump-Cuts/Time Lapse to make his Videos short.
IMO what many fail to take into account is the vast improvements in gear over the last year or two. There simply aren't very many cons like there used to be.
