I bought the Reo clone from 3Fvape to see if they can stand up to the legent, and quite frankly I was amazed.
It came in a neat little box.
Inside the box you will get your reo clone, a spare bottle and an Allan key to adjust your 510
Looking at the mod itself
There are just two things I which they did better
The magnets on the door protrude just a fraction of a millimetre and this make for the door to slide nice until you get to the magnets on the mod and it is very sticky there. Using the authentic door (yes it fits) there is no problem with that and the door close nice and snug
I don’t understand why they did not make the clone low profile, yes you if you have the equipment you can just shave 3mm from the catch cup and it will open a world of bottom feeds RDA’s for you but you are stuck with small RDA’s until you do.
On top you get a SS adjustable 510. It is not reverse threaded and might cause some problems. But using this mod I did not experience any problems with it.
Removing the delrin cover we see that the leaf spring is made from copper and is just a bit thinner, I read somewhere that if you build below 0.6ohm on this mod you will fry the internals
Moving to the bottom
We get a nice what looks like a brass spring
Comparing the clone spring with the authentic we see that the authentic is more of a copper color and the clone spring is more of a brass color (Left clone right authentic)
The screw holding the spring is exactly the same size but it seems the threading is a bit different and I presume with some motivation you will get the original to fit in the clone
What amazed me is that there is no paint in the screw hole for the spring, with no paint there you will get a better conductivity resulting in a better vape
For weighing the clone and the authentic I opted to just weigh the mod without the door, battery or bottle. Left authentic, right clone
The small difference I presume is just the low profile vs the standard size
Using this mod with my Chalice clone coiled to a modest 0.8ohm I could not distinguish any difference. As I said before from what I read and seeing the internals I would not go below 0.6ohm on this mod
Conclusion
I really was amazed at this clone. Yes there is some QC problems with the door magnets. If you never held an authentic Reo before I am pretty sure you will not know the difference.
Saying that when you hold the authentic it just screams quality, but with the clone coming to you at a fraction of the price it is a no brainier
