Smoant Battlestar: Too Similar to the Wismec RX2/3?

When you place the Smoant Battlestar side-by-side with the Wismec Reuleaux RX2/3 (or even the RX200S that preceded it), the visual parallels are striking. While the RX series undoubtedly hit the market significantly earlier, the design cues shared between these two devices are remarkably close, prompting many to raise an eyebrow.

It’s hard to ignore the distinct silhouette, button placement, and overall ergonomics that seem to echo Wismec’s popular design language. This leads to an intriguing question: Could JayBo, the renowned designer behind the Reuleaux line, have had any involvement, direct or indirect, in the creation of the Smoant Battlestar? Or is this simply a case of convergent design in a competitive market?

Both mods have garnered their own legions of fans, praised for their performance and reliability. However, the uncanny resemblance sparks a debate among vapers. We want to hear from you: Which of these two formidable devices do you prefer, and why?
