One can't prove something which doesn't happen...
I do know Kayfuns are wildly popular in the replica/counterfeit world. Real ones are made in Germany. Svoemestro has said their design was stolen, hence the Russian, and now many other fakes.
Why would a Chinese company pay for a design or have a partnership with an original mod maker? They just steal the design, sell them as a 'clone' and keep all the money. The conspiracy theories are a joke...
I work in manufacturing and know a bit about how the manufacturing world works. Do you? It is not at all about kickbacks and secret agreements...
Your fakes use mystery metals, which is not the same quality as American or German steel...
Again you have no proof just because someone said, does not proof make, people can say anything, but it doesn't mean it's true, and let me make it perfectly clear I'm not saying anyone is lying in fact I want to believe Svoemestro, but why hasn't he addressed the shortcomings of the authentic himself instead of letting the cloners do it ?
I personally own 4 Svoemestro kayfun 3.1, but I also have an un-badged EHpro kayfun 3.1 that is just as good for a fraction of the price.
The value of anything is not what the seller wants, but what the buyer is willing to pay, and human nature will always prevail.
Personally I buy authentic when I can, and if I feel the cost is of value to me, if not I will buy the best clone in the price range I feel is closest to the value I place on it.
If you place value on only authentic and willing to pay the premium for it more power to you live long and prosper.
But how dare you look down you're nose at people that that feel differently, and do not place as high value on authenticity, but looking for the best vape per buck value.
I saw somewhere someone was selling a used authentic kayfun lite + v2 for like $80 or something not trying to take anything away from the guy or the the atty but I also own an authentic Svoemestro kayfun lite + v2 I bought used BTW for $50, but knowing what I know now about the tight drawing, whistling SOB I wouldn't pay more than $20 thus the reason I stuck with the 3.1s people complain because they are taller because of the catch well, but by far are the best authentic variant to date.
And yes people like Ehpro are producing modified plus v2's superior to the authentic for 1/4 the price of the authentic.
Eleaf took the kayfun design to the next level with the Lemo, now there is a authentic based on an authentic yet worth twice what they cost, that doesn't happen very often.
Now take the Squape Reloaded, no supplier in the US has an authentic at all in stock, yet I got my hands on 1:1 clone with an S & W deck and 2 AFC rings for $50
Would I pay $150-$170 for the authentic NO its a decent RTA about par with a kayfun 3.1 but nowhere near worth the outrageous authentic price vapes nowhere near as good as the Lemo, for the price I'd personally buy 4 more Lemo's IMO $40-50 is all the Squape Reloaded is worth to me.
Again take the big dripper innovative design great product, but try and get your hands on an authentic, even at that for me it's not $130 great, got one off ebay less than $50 a 1:1 clone with correct deck which is about what it is worth to me.
Again value is what someone is willing to pay, not what a seller wants.
