Tugboat Question - Halp! (girl problems)

[m3rma1d]

Sorry, prolly another dumb n00b question... I don't even know if I'm putting this in the right section, so sorry if I didn't.

So I have my rainbow Hades now on its way from @Smokenmist and now I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a dreamy pink Tugboat to go on it. Pretty sure this is where I'm getting it: http://localvape.com/products/flawless-tugboat-atomizer-anodized-aluminum

But a friend of mine told me real Tugboats don't come in fancy colors, and all the pink ones he's seen are clones.

But I'm a girly girl and I neeeeeeeed it in PIIIIINNNK!

I've searched and searched to try finding a pink one that specifies it's a clone, and I'm not finding one. And $85 is the lowest I am finding for any pink ones. But $85 is a lot so I just wanna make sure I'm not being completely stupid!

So... anyone know if Tugboats DO in fact come in pink? And does this (on the link above) look legit?

I'm not trying to start an authentic vs. clone debate, I just don't wanna pay $85 for a clone, yannow?

I have heard the clones are just as good as the originals.. I have seen the clones for around 20$ i believe? didn't Joe just peep one of these clones recently?

Yeah, but not PINK! I cannot find a pink that says clone/style/etc.

Those are real tugboats. Don't worry local vape is a reputable vendor. They came out with the anodized tugboats not to long ago

Oh gotcha.. yea I've never seen a pink one.. But i guess it depends on how much you want to spend lol. I wouldn't pay that much for a dripper (no matter what the color) but thats just me

Thank you! They seemed pretty legit and I googled and found no complaints on them, so I figured it was safe but just wanted to make sure.

I'm a girl, I'm really good at paying way too much money for all the prettiest things I want.

Still a lot of money girl. Just saying. Could put that towards a really good mod. I'd get a vaporshark. Still a nice thing to have. I have a metallic pink mini Tornado eGo-C from totally wicked lol. I loved it although I don't use it anymore

So I have both, a legit tugboat and a clone tugboat. I like them both but the clone has its quircks.

The delrin insulation in the drip tip always pulls out of the drip tip on the clone, I have never had to mess with it on the legit one.

The screws for the posts Def don't feel as studry and as well threaded as the legit one.

All in all, it still performs well and is one of the better clones I have!

Joe pimped this not too long ago with the coupon code 5OFF to make it $11.39 after shipping.

Edit: After posting that I noticed there's no pink but there is purple...

I have both a authentic and a clone. The clone has noticeably smaller air holes, Fogger V4+ has more airflow. This can be fixed with a press. There was discoloration on the top of the cap when I got it (black version). It's a very tight fit putting the top cap on and off compared to the authentic. That said, I still love the clone, just cant go very low ohm on it (like authentic) due to the air flow restriction. It cost me $12 (I'd pay that for the drip tip)! Authentic was $74.49.

The new colors from Flawless (yes they are making pink) should have a copper center post.

I got my authentic from here:

Unfortunatly, pink is out of stock

They had (have?) a 10% coupon too. Was cheaper than any other site I saw.

I already got my pretty pink one.
I love it.

(and yes, I trimmed the leads before using!!! I was just so amazed I built something that turned hot burning orange, I had to take a pic hahahaha)

Looks good! I keep thinking of that huggies commercial "Mommy wow, I'm a big kid now!"

 

[m3rma1d]

HAHA! I do call it a "big boy vape".
I named my setup Bruce.
With all the rainbow and pink going on, it's definitely a gay dude.
So, naturally I thought of Bruce from Family Guy.

Awesome setup, @m3rma1d !
