Looks great, but it's too bad 528 is such a DB company...


I'll wait for the unapproved Authentic from 3F or FT.


Wife and I were talking of this last night.

My rule of thumb is I'll try and buy one authentic to reward the designer and if I get more they will be clones.

And I wouldn't mind another of these puppies.

Its made in China so they hve the plans so the clones are prolly already in the pipeline.

This kit includes a good bit of stuff so I'm interested in seeing the price. I'm guessing a 1:1 at about 75$.

No not clones, they would be the same as the authentic Goons that 3F had on sale for $30. Custom 528 posted about how they were clones as they had never sold any to 3F.

But they also pulled this crap on Eightvape who had purchased $55K worth of product from 528 and then were also accused of selling clones... :facepalm:

Just how the world is these days.

5 years ago if a company cried the blues about China maybe I'd care but these days there are no secrets. In the vape world anyway. Outsiders are still surprised some. Witness the tears over Yeti cups. Any vaper could have seen it coming.

But they still have to cry fake tears to make appearances.

My beloved Dead Rabbit was designed by Heathen, who honestly I never really cared for. Now you can't tell me that Heathen doesn't know what time it is but when Rabbits showed up on FT he cried a river. To people in the know he looked silly but its all part of the game.

BTW I've got "legit" and FT Rabbits and they are the same.

A lot of that would all go away if they get away from the $80+ standard for a little piece of CNC machined steel with an authentic label on it. It's not like the stuff is hand machined out of a shed in Lackawanna.

The Gulf between daydreaming on the innerwebz and putting product in peoples hands will always be wide.

Its easy to say its just a 90 dolla slab of metal.

But to say I think there is a market for a 2 or 3 battery mech squonker costing under a buck and a half and finding a shop to make a high quality one and setup a website under a logo people trust enough to put credit card numbers in and put actual product in peoples hands knowing for a fact the bottom feeders are hot on your heels is a whole different ball of wax.

Until last year I had a woodworking shop. People would tell me what they wanted and I'd draw up a quote. First hint of "I can get that cheaper............." I'd say then you should go get it from there.

I'd go for the LG's, only because they have more mah, right ? For how you vape, I feel the VTC5A's would be overkill, may as well get a longer battery life than more amps x
Mooch says they're both 25a, but 2000 mah on the lg's and 2500 mah on the vtc 5a. jup I just vape around .5 ohms with ss wire. I know the VTC 5As are highly trusted and good batts. Just liked the purple on the lgs :facepalm:

I've just been extremely busy. My house just started falling apart and I was working myself to death trying to fix everything. I finally hired a contractor and got some help. Of course now I can't retire in a year and a half because I have to pay this debt off. But that's okay because I'm finally learning to make my own juice. And I'll save some money there. It sure is great to see you!
really good to see ya, even though we've done some text and email. Miss you bunches! So kewl you're getting into making your juice. Super easy. if ya need any help just holler at me. :wub:

Just wanted to pop in and say Hey to Everyone!! Hard to get on here these days... :(
Hiya darlin! Really good to see you! I don't get on as much either anymore.

I'm still around but angry about vaping these days after dealing with Evolve .

The Rebel lasted a week and the Drone a couple months. 500 beans worth of DNA garbage.

I gave away every mod with a DNA chip. Not sold as I don't sell garbage, GAVE.

Worst company I have ever dealt with. Its one thing to sell garbage. But stand behind your stuff. Even Harbor Freight stands behind what they sell.

After weeks of playing there games they said send it in. By then I was so angery I figgered why bother?? At most they will just put another garbage DNA chip in.

So these days I vape on what I've basicly always used, an RX200 with a dripper. I have several but only use my first one. Its a couple years old with a carbon fiber wrap and still looks and works like new. That Wismec chip is so much better then DNA its amazing.
yipes. Hate you had so many problems, but good to see ya

still nothing new on da vape front yet
and some folks don't believe in miracles :D

Some nutter just bought an Aromamizer Titan, ya know, that guy that said it was too much tank for him, now who was it ?

Oh yeah, it was me :rolleyes:

Now I need a new mod o_O
and now all is right in the world :lol:

Sorry you are struggling, Mikey.
My X-rays say I have a broken back (the entire lumbar region is crumbling). I'm wearing a girdle to hold me together. MRI this coming Monday and meet the Neurosurgeon the following Monday. No idea yet when the surgery will be. Sure makes it hard to use the chainsaw to put my Winter wood supply in (lifting, stacking, etc.). Lannie is doing her damnedest to make sure I don't lift heavy stuff, but you just cannot run a farm without doing heavy labor. Oh well...

And this too shall pass (one way or another).
wow.......so wish y'all had some help. Miss lannie, and worry she's doin too much. But both y'all are always either doin too much or right on the border of it. Really hope the surgery helps a lot and goes smoothly with a speedy recovery!


Hey Mikey. All pretty quiet around here. Been having fun with my daughter moved back for school. I get to have dinner at least once a week with her.
kewlios!! that's wonderful hun!

Not much goin on with me. Been kinda cold here, then hot, then cold.
