The IVOGO clone of The Marquis is supposedly good. They sell it is BAVapes in the UK, but I bet there are lots of others.
This clone thing is really interesting and confusing. I fund a Marquis clone at Vaping Walrus for $19.99, at Kidney Puncher for $29.99, and at Fasttech all the way down to $8.04. I ended up buying both a Marquis and Vulcan from Fast Tech and only spent $22.00. Whatās scary is the people working in our local vape stores sometime donāt know the difference. A couple weeks ago I was in my local store, and told them I was interested in a good RDA. He brings out a Doge V1 for about $30.00, tells me itās authentic etc. etc. etc. So I buy it. Get home and do a little research via You Tube and discover itās not authentic, itās a clone, but it does what I want it to, so what the heck. I donāt know where this is going, but now Iām anxiously awaiting the arrival of my two Chinese knock offs.
Well the kayfun I bought seemed good but thereās something wrong with the 510 and it wonāt read on my mod ā¦the pin just wonāt screw in all the way ā¦hopefully fasttech will send me a replacement
Guess Iām lucky; the clones Iāve purchased have been of good quality. My decision to to buy clones came from a lack of funds to purchase authentics. Oh, Iāve purchased many authentic attys and been very happy with them because of the craftsmanship and knowing I was supporting the original designer of the product. Now, Iām like, mehā¦Iāll let the folks that have money to burn support them; Iāll spend my mad money on diy flavorings and a nice cloned atty. Itās a hit or miss with the clones. I would worry about it too much.

Iād guess those folks are getting paid $8 an hour and perhaps commission??? Knowing the difference between clones and authentics is above their pay grade and if they get commission on sales, of course they will want to sell you an authentic.

Iām just wondering if the clones from places like Vaping Walrus and Kidney Puncher are better quality than the ones from Fast Tech? Oh well, if they are as good as my Doge V1 Iāll be happy. My only complaint with the Doge is the tiny phillips screws in the top of the posts, and the holes to attach the coil could also be a little larger. I understand the Doge V2 solves these problems.

I look for manufacturer names such as IVOGO, SXK or Tobeco; not so much the vendor that sells the end product. I buy on eBay quite a bit. The vendor only matters with concern to their approval rating; itās the manufacturer of the product in which Iām concerned.
Donāt forget WOTOFO A-MOD 
These kayfun a are supposed to be the easiest things to build ā¦I feel defeated ā¦I think mines defective
Just curious, who is the manufacturer of your kayfun?
Infinite ā¦and Iāve heard nothing but good things
I got an infinite 4 Nine copper mod at one point and the threading on the hybrid cap was really lousy. Thank goodness I had a tap and die set to correct the problem. Iām sure if we saw the manufacturing process in action, we would understand how issues such as yours and mine came to be.
Honestly from what I readā¦and I do my research he infinite was the best out there . I read a pile of reviews not a one of them bad . The atomizer reads anywhere from .1 ohm to .6 ohm without a coil on it ? Maybe someone knows what I may be doing wrong
Is that reading from an ohm meter or a VW mod?
My I stick 
Iāve never had problems reading anything else ā¦other than maybe a .1 ohm diff
Have you put a different atty on your mod without a coil on it to see what type reading you get? I had an atty one time that caused me issues as well. Come to find out there was a short between the positive center post and the housing. Drove me nuts, cause it took me forever to figure out the problem. I finally noticed arc marks on the center post where it was shorting itself out! That was a $200 atomizer. So, it goes to show, all authentic attys arenāt what theyāre hyped up to be!
Goblin Lemo and orchid base all fine ā¦maybe Iāll break it down again and try and see
I have the rocket (clone for kayfun) I like the vape but it seems to leak out of one of the front holes. Donāt know if that is āfixableā.
Thatās all you can do for now is break it down and try again. Iāve been there and it is frustrating when you keep getting thwarted by a chunk of steel! But perhaps in the process youāll find the issue. In my case, I did, but the maker wouldnāt do the right thing and sent me replacement parts. This was after I sent them lots and lots of photos showing what was wrong with their product. That chunk of steel now sits in a closed drawer. Maybe one day Iāll just put it in the recycling bin and roll it to the street to be taken away; closing the chapter on ānot everything is worth the moneyā.
Building my own mod???
