The #clonewars are on again after last’s week’s brief interruption. Up next to bat… the Astro MOD by Kato. It features a stainless steel and brass telescopic body, laser-etched pattern & telescopic 510 center pin (brass). And if it’s anything like the last 2 “laser-etched” clone (the Chi You & Nemesis) you can expect high quality at a fraction of the original price. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed. Because FT has been on a roll lately with there 1 to 1 clone. What do you guys think… is this Astro MOD by Kato clone a cop or not?

I love how you update this so often! This clone looks so nice! I hope you get money from doing this because you help out a lot of people
Glad all the work I put in is appreciated. =) You picking one up? I am defiantly considering picking one up for myself.
I picked one up this morning as soon as i saw it. I’m a little concerned about the top cap not being engraved like the original Astro. Although I can’t really tell if it is or isn’t with the pictures provided. Do you know if it’s engraved or painted?
My guess would be as good as your unfortunately.
If you blow the picture of the head up it really doesn’t look like it’s etched, it looks like printing.
I would pick one up but the wait is so harsh haha maybe once Hong Kong stops being so strict on the shipping procedures. I still have a Private v2 clone I’m waiting on. Hopefully when I decide to get this, the price won’t be marked up like the chi you and others. And again, you’re doing a great job!
I like (:
Looking at the top cap blown up I think it is engraved. On the original the engraving is not just for aesthetics. It functions for airflow. Pretty cool.
just picked up the private v2 and have to say its my favorite amongst the brass sentinel/m16 chi you (original). It’s definitely worth the wait. Would consider this one as well if i could get a better pic of the top cap as being engraved as well.
One thing I do want to bring up with the chi you clone, I know you guys have the laser etched while I got the first orignal $32 batch, sometimes when I vape, the body of the mod, as well as on the firing button gets so hot it burns for a second. Anyone else experiencing this? Any feedback is much appreciated. I’m considering chucking it in the trash because it doesn’t feel safe anymore.
Body and button getting hot… that’s not a good sign at all. What kind of battery and atomizer are you using?
My Private v2 has finally hit San Fran so hopefully it will be in my hands in the next day or so… =)
You lucky mother effer haha I’m still waiting for mine to be “accepted” in Hong Kong
Hahaha. I know right. Both my Private v2 and Nemesis have hit San Fran actually… so it might be a double vapemail day . =)
