That's the one dave - seems legit
OK almost twice the price here - but that's delivered - China does tax foreign imports heavily and i can live with it

monty
Not thicker than normal VG, just been using VG nic and PG as me mixer for so long, i'd forgotten how gloopy VG is
It does taste 'clean' but 'natural' - an ever so slight edge of fruit or something sweet and non-chemically, compared to the Chinese bought 'USP' PG i purchased, which is clean but distinctly more 'chemically' in taste - if you know what i mean

OK - me Authentic Aqua FX arrived today

Can't add pics at the mo (or like or emoticons, aside from the old shotcuts) - biggest obvious differences noticed: The laser etching looks more professional, the mentioned matching o-ring on the head case, the Air Flow ring is a tad stiffer and the base tighter too (which is a good thing.

Aside from that - the vape is almost identical - almost although i'd give a slight edge to the authentic. That could be purely 'Placebo Effect', but i think that the threading is better, so it fits together more precisely, giving a slightly higher quality to the Shape of the Vape. Is it worth double the dollar? Maybe, if you like that higher quality SotV and the ability to buy a spare complete head or 2, allowing me to just swap heads like stock coils - instead of having to do a complete rebuild in situ. There have been a few occasions when i've put up with a decaying vape quality, rather than do a complete rebuild. The being able to just drop in a spare head and rebuild when i can be bothered is a major difference that this tank brings compared most tanks.

Add in the terrific flavour and 3 or 5ml tank options - the relative ease of the build (once you've got your head around it) and this has got to be a contender for my top 5 tanks - so far. First impressions can be somewhat incorrect - but it certainly has all the right ingredients

And the 'Inauthentic' version - is only a ickle behind - not just because of a slightly lower SotV - but also as there, as yet, are no complete spare head for it. You could always buy 2 for almost the same price and problem solved. And you can build a spare coil with the spare ceramic and clips and just drop that into the head - which is easier than a rebuild on the fly, but more hassle than just plug and play with the authentic. It does however, come with a spare SS 3ml tank - which will also fit the Authentic

I'm happy that having tried the 'clone' - even if by dodgy advertising - it encouraged me to source and buy 'The Real Deal'. Happier with the Authentic FX though and the clone will do for a night out on the town, travelling or anywhere it might get lost or broken, keeping the Authentic safe. And as the tanks are interchangeable, also have enough spares to keep me going

Well it was around £10 a litre posted - but seemed the 'safest' if legit. And if i can vape it with only nic - will work out cheaper than Boots VG (who don't pay their taxes anyway) and buying concentrates - which i'm dubious about over here - at least form taobao.com

My search for 'Authentic' vaping products in China continues.
Having had fast gunking problems with the 'USP' PG i bough, i've been looking around to try and source an alternative - and discovered this on a more vaping base taobao.com shop.

It is possibly the nicest, fruitiest, tasting VG (on the tongue) that i've tried -anyone tried this for vaping before i do? Oh and the bottles that red colour the VG is clear LoL

For some reason can't add a pic or linkie at the moment - or emoticons

Just to update
bought 3 complete heads for the Fx - 2 with 0.4 and 1 with a 1 ohm coil inside - and none of them fit the FX i bought.

This does kind of confirm what @eatmybb said about the complete heads not being available for the clone - none of the heads screw on to mine, due to the threads being slightly different, as noted on a previous post and on eatmybb's thread. Suggests that as suspected mine is a clone - and that i'll have 4 complete heads for my 'Authentic' FX when it arrives - pre-coil and just have them ready for when i fancy a change, or in case of emergency when out - so not a complete waste of money LoL

The FICS coils themselves do fit the clone though - ordered one just to check - as the coiling rod thing was too wide to fit into the supplied ceramic with mine - so wanted to check that the rest was interchangeable too.

Also the CEO of Origin Vape did mention that the tank might not be the best design for filling - but top fill etc are being worked on
