Le Supersonic, authentic vs YFTK
this is mainly for
@raineysky and
@BrewBear since they were interested.
TLDR version; they are identical
Took screws out and weighed just the decks:

Clone was 21.63g, og was 21.43
Caps: clone 16.94g, og 16.2
Bottoms look similar, same big honkin' hole in the center pin, OG on right:

Decks similar, slightly tighter tolerances around the peek on the og. Same as SoCal noticed on the haku:

The only difference that I can see inside is the center pin extrudes slightly in the clone, maybe 1-1.2mm above the deck. I think the og was filed down a bit which you could also do with the clone if it sets off your OCD. OG on right:

Here are the top caps. They interchange and still fit fine. I realize it's hard to pick up with my phone camera but if you squint like Clint Eastwood, perhaps you can see the small little gouge looking marks on the circular edges of the right side cap. On the top curved part of the og on the right. This is what has a lot of people upset and there is really no excuse for it in my book, considering the og goes for $150. I work a blue-collar factory job and I'm here to tell you, I made a shitload of cable to pay for this rda. I work hard for the money and I assume you mates feel the same.

The air holes measure exactly the same, 3 holes, each side which measure 1.5mm for a total of
4.5mm on each side:

To be honest, the machining is better cosmetically on the clone. Tolerances better on the OG. Both had a bit of grunge in the screw holes... toothbrush, dawn and then the twisted tip of a paper towel to clean those out so the screws were smooth and totally silent.
Botton line, they are practically identical. I would still spend the dough for the OG because it's the best performing rda I've bought this year. I coiled up the yftk, wicked and juiced... same great flavor, same super smooth airflow, squonks good, drains well, great beat, easy to dance to.
The air is so smooth and so quiet on the supersonic compared to some other rdas I could mention which amazes me considering it's being channeled through those 6 small holes.
edit: forgot to add, the part where the bottom pin sticks out, from underside of deck to bottom tip of squonk pin, identical 4.85mm
That's all I got bonkers, cheers!
