I received my SMOK-a-like epipe from Fast Tech today.
I already own an original SMOK one and absolutely love it and it goes everywhere with me.
One the outside there is very little difference between the two. The SMOK fire button sits a little higher than the copy and it has a more solid feel to the spring in the button when firing. All the parts are interchangeable and it really is hard, if not impossible to tell the difference.
When you open it up is when you notice a few differences. For a start the base spring is different the SMOK one is either copper or brass (?) and the copy isn't. Not sure what it's made of and it does look like it's coated with something, but after trying to sand it down it's definitely not coated.
Also on the inside of the SMOK the wire from the 510 connector to the button is covered by some plastic tubing. The copy isn't and the wire is exposed albeit insulated.
The threads are also a little stiff on the copy.
In terms of performance there really isn't much difference so far. Both fire every time.
All the copy would need is a hot spring and it's would be as good as the SMOK in that department.
In summary I'd give the SMOK 9/10 (I adore this little mod) and the copy 7/10.
So if you are planning to buy one then you won't go far wrong with either.
