Wanted: Brass V3 Flip mod

[BumbleBee]

Brass V3 Flip wanted

Does anyone have one of these in brass? I have 2 in stainless steel but my heart yearns for the brass one. I did see these made in copper a while ago but some googling revealed absolutely no evidence of it

So if anyone has one and is willing to part with it then please let me know

 

[BumbleBee]

Anybody?

If anyone happens to be in the vicinity of @Rob Fisher's house would you mind checking the gorge for one of these please?

I had one in brass and one in stainless steel (pictures probably somewhere in the vapemail thread). I sold the brass one and kept the stainless one. I also really really wanted the brass one initially, but it was way too much pita (pain in the a**) to even attempt to keep clean, and it smelled really bad when dirty, even your hands stank just from holding it.
oh, and one last thing...the engraving on the button "V" was twice as deep on the brass version, causing sharp edges such that after about half an hours use I couldnt stand it anymore. Possibly just my clone I had, specific run, whatever.
I can only say that the "good" clone has serial TLNGA572.
I think focalecig still do a version of this, like with a lion head or something...will go find it and put a link for you

I lie..
it was fasttech, called "eiffel tower" and you can have stainless, black or rainbow.
Sorry bud.
Still convinced I saw one at focalecig with a lion on it, but cant search that site enough to find a random image on a mod.

I found your post here:

So pretty

I have two stainless ones clearly cloned by different companies. The one has considerably deeper engraving and sharper edges. Those sharp edges are quickly remedied with a mini grinder. Been there with the Maraxus. I'm not intending on keeping the brass one polished, I think it will make for a pretty cool steampunkish look with a bit of use.

You had the V3 flip, it has the V3 logo and the lions. The Eiffel Tower didn't have a whole lot going on in the mid section.

i mean (forums, lol...)
i had a v3 proper clone x 2
i saw a clone at focalecig which had a lion as the central logo instead of the v3 logo, all other engravings as per original bar the button was empty in the middle.(this was after the v3 takedown letter)

but now, all I can find it that fugly eiffel tower. I'm continuing to look at focalecig and my bookmarks to try figure out if I was hallucinating when I saw the lion one as the primary logo

Ah ok, now I'm with you

So basically what you're saying is that the clones came out with a lion in place of the V3tronics logo because of copyright issues. And yes, I totally agree that the Eiffel Tower mod is effen fugly.

Ah well, it doesn't look like I'm going to find one of these locally anytime soon, was a long shot.

some clones, after the takedown effort, had a lionhead instead of v3 for a short period.
I found a shop here with stock of the brass one http://www.freshmist.co.uk/shop/v3-mod-clone/
(select colour gold in the dropdown) but for £28 they can go jump
sorry, thats all I can find.

Ouch, £28 does sound a bit steep. I'll pass on that one, that desperate I am not.

Thanks for looking though, really appreciate the effort
