Buying some cloned tanks, how do I choose?

[Kiicki]

I'm considering to buy 3 different tanks, all are clones.
Fasttech has so many clones that I have no idea what is the "best" one. Fasttech doesn't say who made the clones for some reason. Some say, go with the one with most reviews but the one with most reviews is usually the one that has been on Fasttech for a longer time. So seeing how many reviews they got, doesn't always mean that it's the best one.

Here's the list I'm considering. What should I get?
I have also listed by "release date on Fasttech" The top is the newest, bottom is the oldest.

GT-T v2

Btw, the reason why I want to go for a clone is that the market for vaping is really bad in my country. I haven't found any good MTL RTA available in my country. Buying from another country will be way expensive as most of the good MTL RTA's will cost more than $40 including shipping. We have a $40 customs limit in my country and if I go over that, I would need to pay for the import. That is easily doubling the cost.

That's why I will go with some clones because I really want to try out these MTL RTA's

Anyone?

Hi Kiicki. I don't personally have any experience with those tanks, but I know a few people were excited about the Kayfun Mini 3. @dre might have better info on that one. Or maybe @Brewbear. My MTL RTA experience is with the Aqua v2, the Goblin Mini and the Lemo Drop. Pretty happy with those, easy to build, really good flavor.

Another person or 2 that also like a MTL draw and know RTA tanks far better than I might be @f1r3b1rd and @SharkVape

Sorry I can't be of more help to you, but I hope you find one that makes you happy!

I'm gonna move this over to the Rebuildables sub, maybe you'll get some more hits there.

As far as the "most reviews" thing, I wouldn't necessarily worry about which one has the most reviews, but I would look for one with at least a half-dozen positive reviews. You're buying a FT clone, which means you're taking a chance regardless, though if you're buying an older product (all of those tanks have been out for quite a while, I believe) you should be able to find enough reviews on one to limit your risk of disaster...

No worries!
I had some conversations with some people and I have decided to go with:
Second link on the GT-T v2
Third link on the Rose v2
Third link on the Kayfun mini v3

Some people did suggest me to buy the Goblin Mini and the Hurricane but I've heard that the Goblin Mini is a bit airy for MTL and that the Hurricane is simply bad. Many people have said that the Hurricane is bad, and it's like a failed Taifun or something.

I'm not really a MTL guy, but I will be using it for when I'm out in public and don't want to blow up huge clouds.

That's ok. I think I have decided on what i should buy based on people I have messaged. Feel free to move it, but I think my decisions are final : )
Thanks everyone that helped me through messages!

The Goblin Mini has adjustable air flow and I absolutely love it. I'm a MTL vaper, prefer a more restricted draw. I've heard the exact opposite about the Hurricane. I've heard it's fantastic for MTL and flavor.

Are we talking about v2 or the original?
Would you recommend the Goblin Mini or the Goblin Mini v2?
And for the Hurricane, v1 or v2?

I have the Goblin Mini v1. @ Brewbear can tell you more about the v2. My understanding is they're basically the same, but the v2 has top fill and maybe a tad taller. @f1r3b1rd can tell you more about the Hurricane. He's recommended that one to me numerous times, lol.

with FT or any clone for that matter, you are taking a chance. To minimize the risk, read the actual reviews. you can get a good idea on whats what. The FT users are a good group, in that they look out for each other and aren't afraid to call garbage for what it is.
also, if you see something from "sxk" or infinite, spend the few extra dolllars, that company makes some of the best clones out there. The construction, is as good or better than some authentic.

sxk/indinfite, will normally reference sxk in the title.

They rarely say who made the product. Not sure why FT doesn't write that. Would be much easier for everyone to pick a good clone.

this is how they label the ones that sxk makes
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006473/4424400-sxk-kayfun-mini-v3-styled-rta-rebuildable-tank

notice it says sxk kayfun.... look for that

edi: to add the hurricane is the taifun done right. it has better connectivity making it a far better option if you ever dabble in TemP limiting, the screws are flat making it easier to mount your coil, and the airflow opend up a little more.
the airflow clicks in place, unlike the taifun2 and goes from a tight mtl draw, to a resistive lung hit. its also easier to wick.
out of everything I tried it about ties the aua2 for best flavor, in my opinon

Not many labels it, but maybe I should pick that one.
I was going with this at first:

I would be torn
that one has some great reviews; but, my rule of thumb is if there is an sxk model available. I get it and don't even look at the reviews. ive never had a bad product from sxk

but, that's my experience.

 

[JERUS]

I usually just look at the reviews and look for bad things, chipping paint, short or longer leads, pin not protruding well, tank made out of bad materials, whatever it is. Look at the different styles till I find one with either minor or no negative comments like that (not just diff colors but styles).

 

[BoomStick]

The sxk kayfun mini v3 on ft comes with a beauty ring so it doesn't look dumb on mods made for 22mm stuff. That and the sxk factor would make it my choice.

Whatever you choose be sure to make sure it says "In Stock" and choose Epacket shipping!

 

[Valkyrie]

@raymo2u...what is epacket shipping...
thanks in advance

 

[raymo2u]

@raymo2u...what is epacket shipping...
thanks in advance

A Faster shipping method (Electronic Carded Shipping. Its usually taken on Airplanes and flown to a localized hub then sorted and shipped to you. Its the fastest method to get products from other countries (2-5 Weeks) and I suggest you ALWAYS choose it. If not you may get product by boat and that can take up to 3-5 months to arrive.

 

[kevin littell]

I read the reviews....


If there aren't any I move on....


If most reviews say something about poor machine work or "cant get the taste of machine oil out of It" I also move along.

And juice is hazardous material....Extra charge and 3 weeks transit time +-.

Good luck!

Best way to find out which Fasttech clone is which and which is best, is to ask on the Fasttech forum or read the item discussions. Pretty easy to figure out whats what there. Good thing is most of the stuff is cheap enough and close enough quality wise to not matter if you get the best one or not. I read the reviews, and generally avoid the cheapest choices. DO NOT buy batteries, to ship with other purchases.
