I only complained as I saw it got results for others and sadly it worked for me, though I didn't take kindly to what I felt was an attempt to buy me off offering to make me reviewer for them. Maybe I am being harsh, but in over 7k posts I have never reviewed anything and the timing, the day I put the poll on this thread is that just a coincidence?

I had only complained on the forum when days had elapsed after I had requested cancellation, I had given them at least 3 messages requesting the same, yet I received no reply, what else do you suggest I should have done? I'm certainly not knocking it mate, it's just not how I like to do things. We're all different. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong. But my protest is likely to be with further orders, as in there isn't likely to be any and neither will I be able to recommend this company. As far as what I would have done in your position, well I am in that position and should I choose to cancel and get no reply then a paypal dispute will be heading their way. My way I get nothing but my money back and the company gets bad paypal rep Your way got you the product you paid for.

It arrived today, not overly impressed with the quality, but well worth the money and arrived faster than I expected. The battery door slides up as well as down, I though that it only went down on the original, the centre of the 510 is not flat and may have problems sealing against some atties (OK with the Chalice3 clone), the tube is very tight and I gave up trying to remove it to wash before use, paint already come off on the top by the button and on the door and the bottle is a lot smaller than I expected. Still worth the money though.

mine came, please check and reassemble your bottle tubing-->510 pin area. The manufacturer put the tubing through the little hole in the black plastic them managed to get it onto the 510 pin. This isnt correct..you should find your tubing doesnt reach the bottom of the bottle
Remove one screw from the black plastic, then slowly wiggle it down, you can now get to the top of the tubing with a flat screwdriver and gently coax it off the connector.
Once the pipe is off, remove the black plastic totally, and check that the firing pin is secure (I had to nip mine up three quarter turn). Make sure the firing pin sits nicely int he middle of the button. Put the black plastic thing back, careful not to overtighten the screw, THEN, slip the tubing onto the remaining exposed 510 pin.

Cheers vern, do you know if the door slides up and down on the original, I assumed just down but this goes in both directions.

the original goes up and down too with no atty fitted. Under correction, but on the LP models a 22mm rda will then overhang the door and prevent it sliding up. (I think). The clone, as best as I can tell, is 1:1 barring some finishing nonsense (I have a small blemish on my door, and a tad too much paint, so slid it up and down 40 times and now it is pukka good)
The *only* exception is the 510 adjuster works in the traditional manner, not reverse threaded (on mine). The first lot of reo featuring this new connector were like that, but it was changed to reverse threaded shortly thereafter. So we can actually "date" when this clone was copied. As it is, I have the screw all the way in, and a chalice fitted, and no hassles. As I intend to use it with a chalice I'm happy. I have another one coming from gearbest which will have an rm2 fitted and gifted away, so we will see when that one comes..:-)
I'm overall happy...I am waiting for comparison reviews (no doubt they will come) but I'm confident this is a very good copy. Embarassingly good.

my volt drop thingy is a 22mm device, so I cant measure volt drop for you guys, a bit of blind faith needed in me please when I say it vapes like you would expect. I've had some devices that rob 0.5v and 0.6v etc, and this doesnt vape like that.
I could stick in an ego adapter or a 510-510 adapter, but wouldnt have a way of quantifying if it adds to the volt drop, so not keen to put up any numbers in case the anti-clone brigade jump on them.

Mine arrived today.first impression excellent value for the money. Good paint finish no areas where it is missing, yes bottle is a little smaller & stiffer then expected.
Only downside : Chalice fits no problems, but Cyclone, Desmo do not fit the hole is just over 14 mm diameter where the atty is screwed onto the 510 connection.
Overall well pleased.

Got mine this morning too, same as you jeffc 1st impression is very good although the fire button seems a touch flimsy imho.
Only got it for the Chalice so no problems here as yet, will see in a few weeks when it's been used a little more.
