Yeah, I'm looking for a 1:1 clone as well. Just bought an Atomic ehpro clone in the meantime, anything to get away from the post design on my Trident v2.

I hear that. Not only do the posts suck, but they are an absolute nightmare to open because of how tight those o-rings are. I dread even re-wicking my Trident, let alone rebuilding it... Plus I got a nice copper mech now and it would look bauce with a Zenith v2 with Copper AFC!

I have 3 original Zeniths, one I modded for bottom feeding. (Totally Awesome BTW)

I ordered one myself from GVapers just to check it out. Pictures on the site look promising. They're still in stock at 1/2 the price of the original and come with 3 extra AFC rings.

Like theTrap, I'll post pic's when it happens.

Should be interesting. :)

How did that clone turn out from GVapers? I am ready to push the button on it from them, but would to hear your feedback on the unit.

Thanks!

Not bad- the center post is a dark colored brass and the extra AFC rings it comes with are better quality than other after market parts I've ordered for the original.

I still haven't taken all the way apart yet but the center post looks to be the same size as the original.

The machining on the negative posts is not as refined and a little thicker than the original.

So far I yet to confirm if the center post is exactly the same size but if it is I'd say it's a decent option, especially when the BF upgrade becomes available.
