Swings and roundabouts SteveF probably. Mass production brings the price down, but less profit per unit. Not sure where the originals are made, but I would suspect China, which is probably how they were able to clone so fast. |

I think they'd be in a bit of trouble otherwise as it states that fact on all their packaging |

Lee & Andy, the two guys that are Eden mods in Hemel Hempstead, are 2 genuine (lol) and down to earth chaps. Andy is an engineer and designed the rose & snapdragon, all variations. They hold a BBQ and gather as many friends as possible to help put together all of the atomisers ready for vapefest. They are obviously gutted at the speed at which the rose 3 was cloned and suspect a purchaser from VF has sent the atty to china. Personally, I love the vape I get from mine. £120 for a british designed, british manufactured atty isn't expensive to me, but that is of course subjective. It can't be made in the way that these atties are made any cheaper. If something goes wrong with it, I can drive down the road and have the person who designed it help me out. There isn't a price on that. It won't be for everyone, that's fine. We can all choose our own gear   |

If I was going to risk it on a manufacturers supplied pic, in my usual style Id probably go for the cheapest. So it would probably be B at £11.55 lol. |

I used to love my Kfuns but I never tried either the V3 or V5. I have a lot of cloned MTL RTAs and theres only been 1 really that has had me tempted to buy an original (pre loved obviously as Im a cheap Bastard lol) so Im hoping the rose V3 is good as the hype. |

I entered that raffle the other day, I think 3F were the first to put up pics of the actual item as opposed to FTs mystery pics. |
