Afternoon Folks! How is everyone doing today?
Just peachy :)

So thats good? And all those who stocked up did it for nowt now?
Not really. Those of us who stocked up did so at much lower prices than will be available in the future. And as someone said earlier (maybe Robin?) we don't know how all this will end.
But this is good news for now. And it gives vape organizations more time to regroup and proceed.

I for one am stocked up with all the nic, mods, tanks and spare parts I need for the rest of my life. I feel good about that.

SXK usually makes fairly solid equipment and is one of the more trusted China manufacturers.
I've had positive results with SXK products, thus far. If money was not a factor I would always choose authentic over clone but, well, I'm poor. I have no idea how I ever managed to afford to smoke!

Yep! That helps, but opens up another question for me then. If SXK did actually made it...then why does it have the designation "Styled" in its name on FT?

I always thought, on FT...that "Styled" meant it was purposely put there to alert people that the product was not made by the specific company in its name! But rather was copied (cloned) from it! I'm so confused now. :facepalm:
They make the physical product but it is not of their own design. Kinda like a knock off purse.

Maybe this will help:

$14.00 SXK Doggy Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.5ml / stainless steel + PC / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

So, the authentic Doggy Style RTA is made by a company called Animodz:
Doggystyle 2K16

So, FT puts "styled" in their description so that you know that it is a clone type device. The manufacturer can be one of many, many manufacturers (SXK, SJMY, Infinite, EhPro, Coppervape, etc, etc.).

Some manufacturers produce REALLY good quality devices so FT also puts their name in the description so the consumer knows which manufacturer produced the clone. For instance, I would buy an SXK produced device over an unnamed manufacturer even though it might cost more, because of their rep.

Make more sense?

Feels good doesn't! I kinda feel like a burden is off my shoulders for a little while at least.:)

Lefty loosy is correct.
Yea it is tight, I put it in a vice, and with circlip pliers, it came loose.
Thank you... very helpful!

I think I have all the gear I need now, so I am now on a shop stop, no more gear for a while.
Oh, but that high end beauty just went to the classies for a killer price... getcha everytime :)

Wouldn't that be like having the inner workings of a Provari 2.5 put inside any other manufacturer's tube...then calling it a Provari Styled 2.5 Mod for $100...the same type of deal?

Oh goodie, where do I get one.

@ToolmanTexas - Well, I do believe I've had a "DUH" moment, and I'm not afraid to admit it! :facepalm:

I have NO idea who actually makes the BB that are so expensive and highly regarded. It finally dawned on me (even before reading your post above), that SXK must not be the original manufacturer of it, as I mistakenly thought they were! That's why I was so confused how/why "Styled" had to be in the name on FT...if SXK made the clone (as you posted they did) AND they were the original manufacturer, too! Wondered why they'd even make a clone of their own product to put on FT...with the $50 chip still in it! :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

I'll leave you alone now. Sorry for my "light bulb" not going on earlier! :)

@ToolmanTexas , you are right there, I am a sucker for new shinys, and GP gear have been a favorite for all my time vaping.
But for now, no more NEW gear (gear on classies are not new :)
There's always a loophole...

LOL.. happens to ALL of us and anyone who say otherwise is a dirty poo :)

The Billet is made by a company here in the U.S. called BilletBoxVapor. Of course, with a huge loyal base very similar to Provari and for good reason obviously.
Billet Box Vapor Inc.

Good luck with the no new gear part being a part of this thread, lol!
