I think it MIGHT be the Rainbow Heaven version because the FT version has the same odd font for the serial number as the RH version... but who knows
I think it was pointed out that the RH version had a pyrex tank. Anyone know for sure on that?I think it MIGHT be the Rainbow Heaven version because the FT version has the same odd font for the serial number as the RH version... but who knows
The FT version looks very similar to the disastrous Hcigar version....it even has the weird writing at the base. However, it looks like they addressed a lot of the problems with the HCigar version and just by looking at the pictures I think it will probably work great. You probably have to drill out the deck and the 510 connector but that takes about a couple minutes to do and most people would do that to the original Squape.

yeah I think you're right... I coulda sworn it said PMMA in the alibaba description but, I just looked and it indeed says "glass"
The copies are 'hard anodized' which is an easier process the ematal anodizing, just as durable if it's done properly.
Hard anodized aluminum can be as strong as tool steel, it's food safe too.
Looks like Fasttech are selling the Winsmoke version by the way, listed today;

That's the Winsmoke! Ordering!
I think I'll give the squape another shot - with that FT Winsmoke version.
Better be good or I'm gonna rip someone head off!!! lol

I ordered one too but, i'm still not 100% convinced it's winsmok. I guess when you get yours twisted420 we'll know forsure as you have one
I don't think it is the Winmoke either. Winsmoke's site claims their version has a glass tank. The FT version has plastic.I ordered one too but, i'm still not 100% convinced it's winsmok. I guess when you get yours twisted420 we'll know forsure as you have one
FT has 2 versions now, a plastic tank version and a glass tank version. the glass version is the one in question
You beat me to editing my post! Was just gonna replace it with "ignore the idiot who's not paying attention...."FT has 2 versions now, a plastic tank version and a glass tank version. the glass version is the one in question
Anyway - I'm ordering as well. I think worse case scenario is it's the Tobeco - right? Which would be fine with me...that's the one I have and love.
The very top of the tank tells the tale! The top half right above the line is a good bit shorter than any other clone and the OG included. One of the main differences I noticed while comparing a bunch of Squape clones. As the rest are pretty much a 1:1 of the original. Almost 100% positive this is Winsmoke and Fasttech screwed up on one of the pictures....lol
nelsonm64,
I'm 99% certain that it's the Winsmoke version - just a different anodizing color, everything else is the same.
The Tobecos have had a few different colored decks too - maybe this color is harder wearing or something.
For the piddling amount it cost I jumped on the thing from a height.

Looking closely at the knurling on the bottom, the pattern is markedly different from my Tobeco. The Tobeco knurling takes up less of the ring and the criss-cross pattern is larger.
Ordered the squape with the glass tank from FT...I hope it is the Winsmoke version. It seems one of the pictures is actually of the Tobeco deck....anyway crossing my fingers that this version is actually a good one.
