Who makes the Vapor King 510?

I recently purchased the Vapor King 510 and am wondering if someone can tell me who makes it? The reason I am asking is because I have been going to other sites than the one I bought it from for accessories because the selection is larger and cheaper. I have noticed the Joye 510, is this the same thing? Are all models with the number 510 generally the same and universal in parts? Any help would be much appreciated..

For the most part anything with '510' should be compatible hardware-wise but there is definitely a quality difference. Not sure who makes the VK 510 but the vendor should make this known, imho, and not just saying it but with some documentation. 510 clones have been reported to be having great problems with the button and switch on the batt. The atty clones are also different than the original Joye 510 with the metal mesh base vs. the washer types - L2, SLB, et. al. The resistance is different as well - in some cases making the 510 into a 901 atty and losing heat, flavor (in some flavors) and vapor, imo.

Frankly, I wouldn't buy anything that isn't a Joye at this point in time. That may change.
