They may be able to produce look-a-likeys but the quality of materials used and poor workmanship will always show clones for what they are ... cheap, mass produced crap.

Yes and no @yinyang . . . whilst I do totally agree with you that the quality/workmanship, which I wouldn't necessarily call poor, isn't on a par with some of the high end equipment. Which you couldn't expect it to be in all honesty, if you are selective then some of the clones/spin offs aren't all bin fodder. I've been delighted, for what I've paid for my Chinese Mods.

Will they last as long as my Provari's or GG stuff, no they won't . . . but I've had the fun of buying and using them while they've lasted.

It's the difference between buying a Mulberry handbag and a copy from Clarks for me. Both do the job they were made for, one will last a long time the other one won't.

Being a shopaholic, I like both options.

BTW I was referring to clones not genuine Chinese products from the likes of Kangertech, Innokin etc

My mod destroyer bag (the one I use for destroying mods) is italian gotten from germany via Dawanda:)

Way cheaper than a mulberry - hide - will probably last a lot longer than a mulberry. Not a clone. Just a decent good handbag/saddle bag type thing. And no I stopped doing 'fashion' a long time ago LOL

It does . . . but if it's not cost a King's Ransom, then it's liveable with?


You know I love my high end gear @yinyang . . .  quality always as a rule has that feel of luxury to it, a certain frisson of excitement when you use it . . . but I don't always want Gourmet food, beans on toast can make a pleasant change.
