Understanding the temperature limits, is the E3D V6 lite as good a hot end as the much more expensive E3D V6?

Thanks

It has the ptfe liner down into the hotzone therefore limiting you temps up to 250C. I bought one for a secondary printer that I want to sell of and I assume it will be much better than any cheap chinese stuff in the same price category.

It is a very good hotend for the price. If you don't plan on going above 240c, you will be pleased.

I only used it for a few days. It was the hotend choice for a custom printer I built and sold. I use the e3d v6 on my printer, but trust that e3d is going to put out quality. It did not skip a beat during calibartion and testing. If I had anything bad to say is the ptfe tube needs a good straight cut to meet the tip, other then that a big thumbs up.
