Maybe I am being thick but I have to ask
Hercules is an Ithaka clone ? Fasttech do an Ithaka clone for under £25, a clone that one user on here (who has an Genuine Ithaka) compared it to an Ithaka and said he had to take care not to mix parts as they was virtually indistinguishable form each other and also parts were interchangeable ( i.e threading the same ,diameter etc ). So this clone being so close an identical match must work 99% as good as original . I know quality of materials might differ but I cannot see how that would make much difference to vaping experience. So why pay over double for a hercules when you could get 2 from fasttech and still have change, after all they are both just clones

Yeah you could just buy shiny from fasttech and give it a quick rub with some wet/dry for the brushed look I remember reading someone saying the metal on the Hercules was thinner too... Guess Vapor-freak will be slightly faster with delivery though.

fiddles pyr0Don't like the finish of the FT one or the Ismoka Maggo Don't fancy rubbing down a whole Hercules, was hard enough doing the Dream And most of all knowing that it came from a top vendor like Vapor Freak which is known for it's quality items puts my mind at rest, don't really like spending money with FT tbh "It's how i roll"

Peeps. As stated in a previous post, I have both models of the Ithaka clone.
Hercules: Brushed stainless steel throughout, superb threading, quality parts and machining.
Fastech: Polished stainless (looks like), threading OK but not too Hercules standard, air control ring very loose fit, if entering the dual coil ceramic based atty, I suggest you try this one (it`s cheap).
But if you are looking for a "quality" mod to last you years the Hercules at 59 euro is the better bargain. IMHO.
Happy hunting.

you missing point ithaka clone fron FT cant be that bad when a user who has a original ithaka says they are virtually indistinguishable and if parts are interchangeable threading cant be that bad Just curious its your money to spend how you like. I personally think there is a lot of vaping snobbery (gotta be this or that etc) well I am gonna call my Ithaka clone Hera

Some more reasoning behind it........ I bought the Terminator-C from Grey Haze and the quality and vape from it is amazing and have not put the thing down since, i think i am 99% correct in saying it is the same as what Vapor Freak sell. So my thinking behind it was that because i love the Terminator so much i would get the Hercules as i know the quality is gonna be just as amazing as the Terminator. Then next on my list will be the Euforia from Vapor Freak (unless Grey Haze gets them in) Then i will have the full clone set (OCD oh yesssssss) Then the KFL will be sold There is madness in there because i am mad

The build quality of the Vapor Freak clones is on a par with the genuine GG stuff I have, if not better . . . I'm not knocking the FT clones in any way, because they're great value for money and an ideal way of seeing if this type of rebuildable is for you. But, if you'd like something to last, will probably hold it's value if you decide to sell, then Vapor Freak or Grey Haze Rainbow Dream clones would be my choice also.

It's a pity you're already spoken for really Rom . . . as that's 2 chaps in as many days who have agreed with me.
