my first was the Hcigar nemie clone, first Authentic was the Stingray Black copper. Have several clones and several authentic. The Real deal is usually always best, and my preference, but decent clones are hard to resist also. If just trying it out, get a clone, my nemi clone still remains in the line up, and provides a great vape.
Whatever you buy, it probably won't be the last, so might as well get an authentic and start the collection off right, of course this is assuming that you already are a competent builder and have great battery knowledge and safety handling techniques all down and learned.
