Neither the Billow or Lemo are clones. They are both affordable authentics.

I've had my Lemo since about Sep 10. I've never cut myself. It takes 2 seconds to unscrew the base. Once you set your afc you're probably going to leave it there. If not, that takes 2 seconds to adjust. Its really a non issue.

Bear in mind Busardo is thorough, but really only likes Kayfuns.

Lol, I have noticed he is a bit of a kayfun fanboy, I just got done watching a billow review and I still don't get how the heck it can stay being a single coil as a dual coil style tank, like if anyone can explain WHAT makes it not leak as a single coil, yet also allows for dual I will make more sense of it. I gotta look up squape and taifun reviews but so atr I do like the billow it's just.. Not making sense how it wouldn't leak or flood as a single coil

Airflow is terrible on the Kayfun, I'd suggest you look into the eLeaf Lemo. Authentic under $40, high quality, glass tank, large build deck and post holes in the deck for trapping leads. Also has great airflow that can be adjusted from completely closed to wide open - at wide open it has WAY more airflow than any Kayfun I've tried.

This. Airflow is very restricted on kayfun. I would go subtank.

the airflow holes are raised on the deck; they stick up out of the deck, so wetness on the deck doesn't end up going down them.

I just watched a video for the squape and it's great, but I worry with clones. Still gotta look up the taifun then I will have to choose. All ready it's difficult with just the Lemo and Billow now I like the squape but worry for clones and gotta see reviews of the taifun

I agree with Blitzz - if not a Lemo, my second choice would be a Kanger Subtank. It corrects your dislikes of the Lemo, is a single coil, has great airflow, and can be used with Kanger coils or your own build. The Kanger coils vape surprisingly well with lots of vapor. I have a full-sized, and mini version and am very happy with both. The deck on the mini is a bit cramped but the full size deck is larger and easier to build.

I have 3 SquapeRs :). An authentic, a Kingtu clone which needed some minor work and an Ivogo which has been a nightmare. Everyone has had issues with their clones except for the EHPro. That's the only clone that works out of the box. Trust me on this one. We have a nearly 200 page thread on them in the RTA area.

I didn't even know kanger had a rta. Gah, so much to look through.

Yeah, kanger finally figured out that since so many people were buying protanks because they could rebuild the heads themselves, they might as well design a rebuildable head to begin with.

I watched 2 videos on the taifun and I really do not like it. I don't like the way the wicks just kinda sit on the juice, I don't like that it means having to refill it while juice is in it due to it just being low, but anyway, I watched the review on the kanger subtank and I -really- like it, it's really well done, although I don't like that with a simple change it could hold more juice but it beats all the dislikes I had with the billow and the lemo.

Now it seems to be between the subtank, and the Squape from EHPro. Tough choice..

This is true about the Taifun, but by the time it needs refilled this is really a very tiny amount of juice left in the tank. And with the wick essentially being immersed at all times, I think a dry hit is nearly impossible.

Does anyone know where I can pick up the best squape reloaded clone? No idea what the good vendors are.

One major negative re: the SquapeR is the PMMA tank (at least on the version I got). It severely limits what type of juice you can use. I'd almost emphatically recommend the Lemo or Lemo Drop over the Squapes based on airflow, build deck and glass tanks.
