hello i was wondering is it wrong of me to buy clones with no intentions of buying the real deal ?

I got 2 clone goons that I love and I would never buy an authentic myself as I am a cheap skate.

To each his own my friend. I have authentics and clones…as long as you get a reliable 1:1 clone and it makes you happy then why not. No one should judge you or say anything to you. Especially if they aren’t paying your bills, your rent or putting food on your table. 
just my two cents.

Absolutely not and if it works for you why spend 100 when you could pay under 20 sometimes

thanks for the fast responses , you all bring up some points i hadn’t thought of , i myself only know two people in person who vape and they both use sub ohm tanks and they are just into it to quit so it’s always nice hear some other opions . i’m all for innovation and i would support it but i find it hard to swallow 79.99 for a goon or 100.00for a recoil , my wife would kill me aswell and wonder why i spent so much money on a little piece of metal . in my small vape world i sometimes feel like i’m the only one who thinks or vapes like that haha

You should ALWAYS pay more than the top price and then brag about it to your friends…

You know I’ve seen a lot of debates on clones and have never seen it put better than you put it right there. Very well said.

No, you get what you pay for. The authentic is meant to be superior in every way when compared to the clone.
In my opinion, no, If you do not mind the flaws and am happy with the vape, that’s your choice.

Simple answer nope. I do though, if you can after buying a clone, recomend that you buy an authentic…to support the creator if you really enjoy clone. But if you never did I wouldn’t judge.
Personally I would throw every clone I have (only have one of the velocity v2 lol) to replace it with another goon if the authentic was 35. Until then I use both.

if authentic drippers that weren’t wotofo were only 35$ (nothing wrong with wotofo)i’d buy authentics like the goon , recoil , twisted messes 24/skill hell if they were 50$ i’d do it but i can’t justify to myself to spend 79.99-100.00 on a dripper , i’ve spent some real money on vaping devices over the two years but still haven’t gotten a authentic high quality original

Depends on the clone, I would just make sure the clone has decent ratings. I have 2-3 of them from fasttech, they work fine.
You use clones…??? 
Im shocked, I cant believe this kind of debauchery is going on right under my nose.
Only 70% of my RDA collection are clones, and out of the 20% that’s left only 10% are real and i’d never have it any other way…I love my Tsunami.

My 2 cents…goes to clones, my dollar goes to authentic. I’ve only run into one bad clone, but, I’m sure there are more out there. I usually buy them because I can’t get the original anymore. ($8 for a Velocity clone can’t be beat in my book.)

I’m in that same boat. I am very careful about my online purchases.
My favs that I trust for fear are

Eciggity (since they are in Hawaii everything goes by air so go for the free shipping and you’ll still get it fast.)
