So after all the talk about clones, I was actually surprise to see there is not even a thread for clones. Anyway so here is a thread, not to discuss the ethics but to show off or give a short review.
So never had a clone and as a few of us decided to do a group buy from fasttech, I saw a cheap clone popping up and decided lets see.
So I got the Limelight gloom "Styled" mech mod. Now first. It seems that styled is the new "cloned"
Anyway I have used it now for a week, so lets start with the biggest nagative.
The name. Clone if you want, but why use the name? Anyone that now a real Limelight will spot on a mile its fake. So why not just leave the name. Even the box have the name and logo. Or atleast name it Blacklight, Moonlight or something
In the box is the mod with a squonk bottle, thats it nothing else. Ok there is some card with Japanese writing on it, but Im way to sober to understand it.
So after I ordered I read a review or two and the only negatives I could find was the poor paint job.
But seeing that with 15% discount it only cost R270, I did not really care and thought I will just give it a new paint job. To my surprise when it arrived the paint really was not bad. After a week still 100%, will it hold? I dont know if it will get chips, but all my authentic mods also have chips and scratches from use.
It has a springloaded connecter pin, the battery cap screw is smooth, squonk bottle is just amazing, better than any of the other 5 brands squonk bottles I have. The cap to hold squonk bottle in just pops out from pressure from bottle when you twist it, I have found that after a few days use, it does not want to pop out everytime, so bit of negative is you must squeeze squonk bottle to push down to get cap out. Not a problem if bottle is empty, but full bottle may be bit messy.
Everything else is just perferct. The fire button is a bit stiff to push, so some people may not like that, I prefer it like that, as Im enjoying this mod so much, I have been using it the last few days is my runabout, and with the power button as is, Im fairly confident that it cant fire while in my pocket.
Yes its probably made of cheap chinese plastic, but that is more of a possitive for me.
133g that is with a battery inside. To give you an idea, a Topside weighs something like 193g without a battery. As for the plastic and cheap price it make that you dont care to use and abuse this great shape, size and weight as a daily driver, something most people will not do with the expensive authentic.
It also has a mosfet for some protection
So for now, the best money I have spend on any vape item, its like a pack of ciggies, if its broken(wet) or not to my taste, throw away and get another one. Its a tool to use for its purpose, and a great tool.
