Tanks that didn't become popular ..... and died.

Was the genuine better as far as leaks and suchlike though, @eyeball kid ?

Better but not perfect. I ordered two separate packs of new o rings whilst using it as it sprang a few leaks.
The best way to sort the clones where to buy the sm replacement o rings and replace the clone one's.
The clones (at least the one I have) is an incredible feat. It's genuinely a 1:1 clone. Actually it's probably the moment that the clone companies really stepped up their game and nailed it.
Each part was obviously scanned into a computer and reproduced perfectly. (Obviously I can't vouch for the standard of the metal apart from mine is still perfect).
They just cheaped out on the o rings.

well it died .... but it was really really popular once, The V3 was ok but the first one was utter shite, I have no idea why everyone was raving about it.

The original goblin V1 pic for reference.....was good I still have 2... takes n age to coil wick n fill these days......but I bring em out now and again...then in there wisdom they decided to fk about with it with minis....n all that modern top fill stuff...n..that was that.

Zou wants it though.

Zou wants it though.

The very reason I mentioned it!

I should nominate the Ruzgar RTA - I love the clone and have several, still in use, but it was specifically for the combination of glass and metal tank guard with a KF-like vape that worked well on an e-pipe stem, same way a Nauti cage tank worked. I think I'm the only person in the world that liked it though!

The Nautilus X never lived up to it's pedigree. I know that they did sell initially, but there were reports of muted flavour with it. Considering how well the original/mini/2 did I think this was a bit of a fail.

I got a couple of KFV4s in 2016 and the Infinite clone is excellent - bought it from Provapes because I couldn't wait for Chinese delivery times.
You need a good tool kit to strip them down including vernier calipers to measure o-rings, because some will need swapping to stop leaking. I swapped #18 for a 12 x 1.5 which worked well, although #16 can give problems as well.
Don''t get used much now - it's a big heavy tank, and subsequently I discovered mini V3s.
