Anybody here have the Kindbright Reload clone?

[MWorthington]

I'm looking at this rta and I love the look of it. I'm just wondering how many folks know anything about it and if it's worth the $13 for the black one. I know it's not a lot of money, but I don't want to order it, wait 2-3 weeks, and it fall apart or the screws strip out the first time I try to use it.

I told myself I would NEVER pay $70 for an atty but if this clone works out, I would def save up and get the real thing!

I think @mjag has one.

I got the stainless steel kindbright reload clone from 3fvape a couple of days ago. I have the black and gold on the way from hotecig as well, they said it is kindbright but will have to wait and see, should have them in about a week.

The one I have so far is nice but it seems to not making the best seal around the bottom of the glass were it meets the oring. I get a little juice seep out when I fill it but during use.
It is a good looking tank and I like it so far but the Coil Art Azeroth I got the day before is outperforming it with the triple coil deck.

For $70 I can't imagine the original being worth it. For that money I would rather get the Modfather or save $40 and get the Aromamizer Plus.

Hey, for $13 it is worth it to satisfy your curiosity though, that's the way I look at it. It is a good tank but it's not reinventing the wheel or anything.

I got my Gold Azeroth RTA off ebay for $23 shipped from a US seller. If you get it make sure and order the 2.5mm by 2.5mm grub screws from fasttech or someplace else, the included grub screws are garbage.

Thanks. I'll look up the Azeroth.

No problem, happy to help.

Keep in mind it is the RTA, not the RDTA, this is the one I was talking about.

That's a good looking tank. It looks like you COULD put one massive coil in it if you wanted to. 3 coils work too, of course.

How's the quality of the little T-driver that comes with it?

 

[heateris]

I got a silver one from 3fvape. Fine build quality.

Could but should? Would have to close off one juice port and the airflow would not be under the single coil. It does come with a dual coil velocity deck as well. I haven't tried it though, got this tank specifically for the triple coil deck.

Haven't tried the t driver it came with but I suppose it is the same as all others. I use a set of hardened steal drivers for my builds. Can't remember the name off hand but there real nice quality.

The build quality is real nice, no juice seepage for you around the bottom of the glass when you refill? I have read others have had that problem while others do not. Going to try replacing the bottom oring to see if that helps.

Thanks a million for all the help. I still have a few days to think about it.

Is there a single coil option with the velocity deck on the Azeroth?

I checked the packaging and don't see a block for a single coil woth the velocity deck. You can do a single coil with either deck, just not sure how effective it would be.

Ok. Thanks a bunch for checking.

 

[nikolous]

My black one arrived, and am currently talking to them about a refund/replacement. The deck is crooked, and as such cannot screw in properly. It leaves a noticeable gap at the bottom of the glass where it leaks like a sieve. You can see from the bottom right hand side.

 

[MWorthington]

Oh man, that really sucks! I hope they fix you up right.

 

[raymo2u]

I have both 2 Authentics and a Clone Reload RTA...the only real difference between any of them is the deck section. You can actually remove the deck off the base and Im guessing the base and topcap are made from the same blueprints and they changed the deck slightly to sway people from thinking they are double dipping (selling both Authentics and as a clone).

The airflow horns are swooped more on the clone and the material of just the deck seems different...everything else is spot on and are cross compatible with parts.

For people that are having issues with wicking, wick it like the old Griffins...dont stuff the cotton into the port, just set it on top of the port hole...I like to cut it flush with the lip and then wet the wick and press it against the wall, spreading it around the edges....even with some Alien Staggertons and some SS Staggertons @ .08 Ohms for both on a Triple Parallel this thing wont dry hit with this setup.

Authentic Deck...this is the single only part thats slightly different...(This one is even a one-off...notice the holes arent drilled out, saving this one for just Instagram builds )

Thanks @raymo2u !

Maybe you forgot....this is VU, a forum which is mostly comprised of people that have been kicked out, banned or treated horribly by the mods at that forum. Under his tag shows he was a ECF Refugee, meaning he experienced one of the above issues.

I've got 2 Authentic's and just got 2 of the Clones in, the Clones are not even close to the quality of the Authentic's. The materials and machining are "maybe" average at best. The decks are also not gold plated, they look to be brass. Haven't put a build in the Clones and doubt I will, I'll more than likely Vape them forward.

The Authentic Reload RTA's are seriously the best 24mm RTA (even better than any 25mm) I own, it's an amazing RTA and well worth the price IMO.

 

[MWorthington]

I hear you! I would love to own an authentic - just by looks alone. I like the outer appearance of it, and I especially like the design of the deck.

In my inexperience, and since I've never seen the original in real life, I doubt it would make a world of difference to me. Ignorance is bliss don't you know?

I know a lot of folks like the reload and figured a clone would be at least close enough.

If you do end up getting the clone due to budget reaons...always try for a Kindbright, SMJY, SXK or Tobecco. These are clones that are better then most and do a better job with quality control...Im not saying every clone will be perfect or dead on 1:1 but will be closer then any other clone.

If you can afford to buy authentic then do so, these guys work very hard for their products, putting just about every minute and dime in to make them.

As a person with a large family to take care of and one income I know exactly what many people are stuck doing and it sucks but theres not much you can do unless you really only want to get one thing every six months. I see clones as a trial run, a try before you buy type of thing...You cant tell if your going to like something until you try it and spending a few months worth of saving on a single product and then finding out you dont like it blows...thats where I see clone applications being useful...when you do like something then get the Authentic...your only going to like it more due to the higher standards, better materials, and the manufacturer putting his life into it...not to mention the feelings the cash itself bring into it.

On top of this...without all the money dumped into the product and on a well done clone your trying the product and only basing it off what your getting out of it...the ease of use, the vape off of it, the quirks and all...and that will be the deciding factor instead of the money of why you like it or not...I LOVED my G2 Seminole Clone for every reason...the airflow, building on it, the look and even the machining on the clone...I bought 2 Authentics and its my #2 RDA of all time...then they dropped it down to $40 for the Authentic, making it the Best all around RDA IMO

That is the reason I still buy clones and most of them Ive tried are spot on, especially for the money...given that they arent going to be perfect unless its the company double dipping like a few I found..dont expect a $10 product to meet $100 standards...give it some slack and think of it as a 80% replica.

 

[MWorthington]

What you said, Ray. I really like the looks of the Reload, but in my inexperience, I honestly don't know if I'd like it or not.

I've priced them in the last couple of days from $70 to $85 for the authentic rta. My original idea was to get the Kindbright Reload rta and if I like it, then save up for the real thing...if they haven't quit selling them by then.

Hell, it took me 6 months to be able to get my G2 and it was only $60.

Haven't had any seepage problems. I do have two mild cons. First, the airflow ring in a bit loose. It could probably use a thicker o-ring. Second, the chimney seems to loosen from the deck easily when taking off the top cap.

Love my kind right Reload Clone from 3fvape my buddy has both the real reload and the clone and he says they both work,and taste excactly the same wich is incredible. This is the best tasting RTA I've ever owned I had the Kylin before and this is better. Totally worth the money and the wait. I got the black one

I have the same excact tank no leaking problems at all around the glass.,wicking can be a little bit of a pain to get right for it not to leak from bottom air flow but once you get it right it's perfect. Change the o-ring or tighten it down better

 

[mjag]

I have since picked up the black and gold from hotecig and there both great. Have a blue on order from fasttech, that ine looks so nice and includes a bubble tank.

The reload is no joke, great tank

IF you guys think the Reload RTA is great you should get the Gaia RDTA...its what I consider number one Tank for flavor and airflow

I do believe the Reload RDA is one of the best and most efficient RDAs out there though

Well, I absolutely love my Reload clone. I'm saving up for a real one. I just hope one is still available somewhere by the time I get the cash together.

 

[j66]

Some of the clones have an o-ring missing from under the fill cap - it's in the spares bag though - medium sized. Found the clones to have fit & finish issues absent from authentic - also plating on deck has degraded as it appears to be plated straight on top of copper with no nickel between. Having said that the vape is exactly the same from either clone or authentic. Authentic appears to have earned it's price tag on quality control/finishing/materials imo.

 

[Fictitious Character]

Back in May I bought the authentic Reload rta and then followed it up with 4 clones. The clones are a flavorful 12 bucks spent, but the authentic does outshine it in quality.

I'm a huge fan of of both the Reload RTA and RDA, IMO they're both the best in their class. I've had the Clones of both and they were decent but the Authentics are much better.

Got the blue/torched version from 3fvape for $13.
The build quality is stellar. Threads are so silky smooth. I was pleasantly surprised.
I like rta's with great flavor. This thing does not disappoint. Still...waiting for my aqua2 reboot..

Cheers!
