I only liked it because you provided an email...Why have I been gone? Well for "ME" it is the principle of it. EVERYONE HATES POPUP's, no matter what they are about. There have been quite a few threads about it, but the Admin just does nothing, guess they are making a chunk of change for doing it, so they ignore the membership, that is their choice, I am making MY choice. This site USED to be just about information & people helping others (and of course chit chat), not sure where it is going at this point. I will pop in from time to time, but unless something was to change, I won't be coming around like I was in the past. I created an email for my friends here, in case I go AWOL for a long while.

I don't know about anyone else but I mostly use my ipad. The only ads I get are when ECF runs a contest and I can X out of them. After I've done that 2-3 times it doesn't pop up again.
Same here. On my phone no ads except the ones embedded in threads...
I'm using a PC,Firefox browser with adblock plus (stock settings).The only pop up ads I ever see are for contests and they are few and far between.
Sorry Kat and DPL...I didn't really realize that I had become so overzealous about the Zenith...
I guess it was because I was so SATISFIED with the CLR's...that I was then so SHOCKED when I tried my first Zenith...
It NEVER leaks...(the ONLY way I was able to handle the eGo ONE Mega V2 Tanks' leaking was to replace them with TRON-S's)...and as I often noted...(evidently, ad nauseam)...it's ridiculously EASY to refill...
Guess I'll kick up to at least 200...(from my usual 100)...times a day that I mentally remind myself that..."There ARE people in the world DIFFERENT from me."...

NO concerns, Gerry - it's good to be excited.

"DISlike"
Several others and I posted a few weeks ago, and even back last summer IIRC, about the EHPro KFL+ tanks that Sublime Vapor had for $5 and $10. As far as I know...we all ordered those, which are actually the KFL+V2. I don't know of anyone who ordered the KF V4 by EHPro from them, other than you.
Yes, that is what I went to look at, too. While I was looking, I saw the V4 at $5.00 also, so I got it. Thought someone else may have as well. The question really generally applies to anything though. If I order as a KHPRO clone, and it comes with a logo for a genuine item, is it a counterfeit?
I use Ad Block+ on my PC and I have it set to only block obtrusive advertisements. I don't have a problem visiting the site on my PC at all. I don't use it on my phone and I do see ads between posts. It's not a big deal to me. Just means I have to scroll a bit more when I visit. The only annoying pop ups I have encountered are the reminders to enter contests, when I have already entered them. The 'X' to close them out is not showing up on my phone.
In general, yes, the EHPro is a "counterfeit." But I suspect what you're getting is a genuine EHPro clone / copy of the original. Any copy of someone else's work / design is not a genuine original. EHPro does happen to make some of the best, imo. Is it a genuine SM? Nope. But likely a genuine EHPro copy of one.
I got quite a few EHPRO versions of KFL's, including several from Sublime. None of them had the Svoe Mesto name or the original engravings on the bottom. They did say Designed in Russia, Made In Germany on the bottom but laid out differently from the originals.
I did order a couple from FT. There was no information on the FT page about who made them and they were subtly different in several ways from the EHPRO ones. And they arrived in boxes labelled Svoe Mesto with all the genuine looking engravings.
Seems like the difference between a clone and a counterfeit is hard to define. To me, to be a counterfeit they would have to be sold as genuine, at somewhere near genuine price.
@englishmick - This is the EHPro KF V4 that he got from SV...that has the Svoe Mesto markings on it.

Wow. That one is pretty blatant. They are selling it as an EHPRO. None of the other EHPRO stuff I got was like that.
In other industries, a clone is a copy, but badged with a different name. As soon as you put a 'gucci' nametag on your chinese purse, it has broken the law, at least in the US. Typical China go-around would be "svee mutsto" or somesuch name badge. This one probably should have been seized at the
border! Read up on the Fluke meters , all they copied was the color! And they had to destroy them all.

I see what you mean. I bought an SXK KayFun 5 clone and I have enjoyed it. I thought it was odd that it was marked like the real thing even to the engravings and packaging. That's a pretty fine line between counterfeit and clone, but it was marked as not being the real thing on the seller's website.
Here's the outside of that KF5 clone showing the branding. I have the SS tank on it. There is also branding on the interior tank of the RTA that you can see if you are using the glass option:
