I haven't seen the brushed aluminum, but I just looked up the Buzz and I gotta say the design on that sucker is pretty slick! I love the rough copper finish. I see they're claiming to be the first true VV mod. Is this true? I'm sure in a hundred years both the buzz and the empire will go for a nice coin at the Antique Road Show, if they're still around lol.
I believe they were the first and I got one but sold it in the classies. It was too hard to change voltages for me. You had to use a tiny screwdriver and find the slot in a dark hole and then needed a a special adapter cord to connect to voltmeter to read the voltage. I paid 112.00 for it plus I had to buy batteries adapter cord and a voltmeter. Now you can buy a VV that reads resistance, buttons to adjust voltage with a led to see them for 45.00. Times have changed for the better in the vaping world.
