What’s the difference between a 129 Euro original and a $19.65 replica from FastTech. Not a lot from what I can see. Ugh!
My original, much used Taifun is on the left and the replica is on the right. From what I can see…
- The box of the original has a more velvet lining to the box over the foam of the replica.
- The top cap of the replica’s threads aren’t very good. You get tight, smooth, tight, smooth as you tighten it down.
- The metal of the build deck appears to be different.
I have no way to test the metal on these so if anyone has any information on the differences between the original and the replicas, please do let me know so I can post here.
For example, I’ve heard from some that the Kayfun replica from FastTech (the one with the SvoeMesto logo) actually rusts (can’t currently confirm that) and that this Taifun replica is chrome plated brass. If you’re ever concerned about the materials being used in your atomizers, buy the original!
