I have had really good luck with tobeco and cigreen. Actually, Ive never bought an authentic and never will. Every clone Ive bought has been just fine. But im odd, Ill use sandpaper, files and a dremel if necessary to make my atty perfect. I dont mind, especially since I always buy cheap.
Bullshit......
You support the person or entity that provided the revolution in design
If you buy the rip off because they cloned it
you lose
Nope, they lose. In business you need innovation, profit potential, and a price that doesnt put you out of the game.
I have nothing against companies like aethertech and others, who sell their innovation for huge money. But they lose, not me. I wont buy their innovation from them, Ill buy it from someone who doesnt expect to get hundreds of dollars out of hundreds of pennies worth of material and machining.
There is a new business model in town and its doing very well. Companies who design and prototype their products in the us, then contract the manufacturing out to china, are the best bang for your buck. I and many others like me will pay $40 for a great genuine/foreign atty (like a CLT or Silverplay), but not much more especially since solid, proven clones can be had for $20.
