This may be of topic but here goes...

Sounds to me from the replies here that the clones deliver the same vape experience as the authentic device.

Who makes the one from fast tech? The 3.1 with the logo?

ImportVapor.com

We don't know, mine is good though. Fits on my Semovar hybrid ring no problem, no leaks, great vape for $22 and a few weeks of patience.

Somewhere out there
KFL+ here. Beats the heck out of a Protank or any variant.

Not sure about comparison to drippers, but it seems with the precisely controlled air intake / coil position, it's a very easy build, and creates masses of vapour, which tastes very rich. I'm sure you can get similar effects with a dripper, but even then you've not got a ~4ml tank attached.

I say: Go for it, it's great.

I did. You were right.

The new question is whether using the KF will spoil me for using anything else?

I still use some other things :)

Reomizers, and the Cyclone / Cyclops are great.

It has rather spoiled Protanks for me, but that said if you can be bothered to rebuild them you can get pretty good performance in a very portable package - plus it's handy being able to switch coils so quickly.

Glad you like it :)

I picked up the KFL+ clone (I don't know who the manufacturer is, picked up from local B&M) and basically scrapped all my clearo/carto toppers except for one evod that I use when I go to work. Changing coils/wicks is just pennies to the dollar now, not to mention a highly customizable vape experience that you just cant get from any clearomizers/cartomizers. Sure, you can re-wick/re-coil a Protank but the flavor and TH more or less stays the same depending on your build. With the KFL, very small tweaks to the direction of the coil, distance from the air-hole, size, wicking methods, etc... make some really noticeable changes.

Do I regret not getting this sooner? Not really, I enjoyed everything I used to date, and having that as a reference makes it easy to notice the improvement on my vaping experience now. Would I recommend the KFL+ right off the bat to a new user, or semi new user? Probably not, especially if you enjoy what you have now, and you may or may not eventually look to trying to improve your experience. I actually think its better to start with a Kanger product and learn to tailor your build to exactly how you want it. If you find that is not enough anymore, you have plenty of great options to choose from ;)

I plan on getting another one since I don't want to keep switching back and forth with devices and coil builds, but not another clone this time now that I know the design is as solid as everyone says.

I prefer the look of the 2 metal rings and small window, but the functionality of all polycarb is where its at for me at this time. On the MVP2, I like my build around 1.6-1.8 ohm, set horizontally and fired at about 10W. On the mechanical, I like the build at around 1.4ohm with the coil setup vertically w/ cotton wrapped on the outside. I have to add straight VG to my juice to lower the nic level and flavor as its pretty intense set in this configuration.

No question....get a Kayfun type topper.

I also have some 13.00 rockets (which work Great by the way)..the Ephro, HCigar, Tobeco, some Russian copies from Vaporbreak (air draw hole too small) and the 3.1 from Fasttech.

Out of all these the 3.1 from FT is superior in my opinion with the largest possible air draw (this one is on top of my 300 dollar Semovar)...as is Ref Minors same setup. the HCigar has funny machining quirks (but still works)

Side note here... An aquaintance of mine....after vaping my FT 3.1 sold his original 3.1 (175.00) and ordered the FT sold 3.1
