Lost Art Liquids Goon (clone?)

[jakethevape]

Hey.

Just wanted to ask you fellow drippers a Q. Picked up this LA Goon earlier today from a B&M shop... been out of the vaping devices game for some time so it was more an impulse buy as I rather liked the colour.
£30 (yes I got fleeced.... ughhhh)...

So I had a look around and discovered this is a clone from the original Goon RDA, looks like lots of clones about as the chap who made it only produced 500(?). But Lost Arts made one, but the videos I see online showing the LA Goon clone still has other little details such as a serial number, bevelled edges around the air holes and terminal clamps, the bag has stitched logos on it etc. My ones is not quite the same.

I suppose my question is,

Is this a clone of a LA Goon clone?? And if so who makes it?

Or is it all fine? No issues either way, it would just be nice to know who produces it 👌

Never picked one of these up myself.
If it's a clone they usually all have the same serial number might help to know for sure if you post the number, if someone else here has one with the same number it's a definite clone.
At £30 you either got a really great bargain on an original or paid way over the odds for a clone.
Given that people tend to like to make money rather than lose it i would bet on the latter.

If it floats your boat, then be happy.

As above, £30 is too much for a clone, too little for the original.

Caveat emptor, especially with B+M shops.

ETA that is not to say that the clone is necessarily bad quality.
The one you have looks nice enough.

I think you are right on the latter being paid over the odds. Ah well lesson learned.

I am not begrudged, just a little annoyed at myself that I could have checked online before paying it. At least it was only £30, given you can get them online for around c.£15 plus £3 P&P £12 is not so bad (says with gritted teeth! )

It is a brilliant RDA however!, I am only using single coils (despite being able to take 2) and its vaping like a dream

It is a great quality one. So as above I cant complain too much. If it was a local Indy B&M store I would be "happier" to have paid extra but not so much the case. All fun

Well, just put it down to experience.

I must say it does look nice and, though far be it from me to inflame your shinyitis, would look the absolute mutt's on one of these:
