Honestly I don't know.(I'll let you know when mine arrives) I would much rather have the real one haha If I could find one. The gold ones just look like they are made out of plastic, really cheap looking. The Brass ones look nice and A lot of people really like it. A lot of video reviews that I've seen, people really seem to like them, even compare them to the originial...so yeah
Whether you like/buy or are against clones is up to you. I totally understand why so many people are against them because it rips off the people who came up with the original, but I also understand that not everybody will be able to afford one and want something they can use that is similar. (Even though technically, a lot of top notch mechs are clones of other top notch mechs) Love it or hate it, buy it or don't buy it...It is your decision!..Happy vaping
