Reload RTA new tin package! clone?

[Newbie732]

Hi everyone, new member here and please excuse my simple english.
I bought 2 Reload RTA's and the tin package was different than the original Reload we all know and see.
i asked the shop if they are a clone as i was suspicious of the different packaging but he said its genuine.

i attached below few photos to compare, i bought a gold and black ones. the gold seems fine but the black one i found the logo font to be bold and no gaps in between.

can anyone validate if they are a genuine Reload but new packaging or just clone.

sorry for the dark deck for the left RTA, i was using it.

please let me know if you need any further close up photos.

Thanks

I’ll be interested to see what others who own authentics think on this as well


I assume the atties in question are all in the left side of your pics?

 

[Newbie732]

what i'm not sure about are the ones on the right, the black and gold tins. specifically the logo on the atty and the tin pack. everything else seems fine, the machining the threads are all perfect. and they all fit if i put random decks and chambers for the left & right set.

Sorry my bad

The decks look like they have a difference finish or it that just the light ...can you similar machining marks?

@r055co what do you think? you’ve had both authentic and clone

lol, no the left deck was put to a lot of abuse. i was using it and i didn't clean it.
sorry i don't understand what you are asking about similar machining marks. do you mean the logo?
that what's weird as for the gold one the logo seems to be fine.

When they tool the deck it will be in a certain way since these aren’t individually hand made I would say they should have similar tool marks and swirls on the deck

both seem to be similar, i attached below a comparison
Left: Silver Reload deck which came in the black and green tin box which we all know
Right: Black Reload deck with the weird logo which came in the black and gold tin box

The tin itself IMO gives it away, I've got a number of Reloads that I have bought all direct from Reload Vapor and none of the tins on the right match. I could be wrong but I doubt it, contact Reload Vapor to verify.

They changed their tins, then likely those are not Clones. Yeah anytime you have questions on authenticity it's best just to go direct to the source.

Good to know thanks! I was going to say you could always verify with Reload the serial numbers on the ones in question. Mine came in the tins on the left (purchased about 6+ months ago) so I can't speak to the ones on the right. Regardless that's a pretty sight!! Reload heaven!

Holy crap I had no idea they made those in ultem that fit the Reload! Where can I find such mastery?

 

[Newbie732]

this is for the Manta rta but you can add an o-ring to make it fit on the Reload.
i bought it from Fasttech out of china. shipping might take a long time, around a month.

I contacted Reload Vapor they confirmed they are all authentic, they just recently changed the tin pack.
