These are some pictures and my comparisons of the two Trident V1 Clones I have received from Focalecig:
Silver V12 clone SKU: 126731 (shown on the left in all pictures)
Golden V12 clone SKU: 126721 (shown on the right in all the pictures)
The air hole on the outer shell of the Silver v12 is a tad bit larger than the Golden v12.
My Experience: Golden v12 produces a slight bit better flavor and Silver v12 produces a slight bit bigger clouds and more airy draw on largest airhole in AFC.
Winner: Golden V12
Reason: I am more of a flavor chaser as opposed to a cloud chaser.
The size of the top cap that inserts into the body of the V12 on the Golden one is machined better and does not produce the gap in the bottom as you can see in the Silver one. The largest airhole option selected for the Silver one does not have an opposing air hole while the Golden one does have a very small hole.
My Experience: The Silver V12 would occasionally leak out of the gap created at the bottom and the Golden V12 has yet to leak any liquid out of the tiny opposing airhole when tilted up.
Winner: Golden V12
Reason: Does not leak any liquid when tilted.
The two have very similar contacts but it appears that the Golden one has an o-ring or insulation around the positive post.
My Experience: The Golden V12 appears to have less of a voltage drop and does not need to be adjusted at all when tightened all the way down because it still has some of the post sticking out past the 510 threads. The Silver one when tightened down is completely flush with the 510 threads and would need to be backed out some in order to ensure a good connection with positive pin in mod.
Winner: Golden V12
Reason: 510 pin does not need to be adjusted at all on the atomizer.
There are more threads on the Golden V12 in the 510 connection.
My Experience: The Silver V12 would produce a weird wobbling action on my Nemesis and would be very hard to flush mount because it would lose a connection in the threads on the mod and would appear to be tilted to one side. The Golden V12 can be easily flush mounted due to the extra threading and stays caught in the 510 threads on the mod when screwed on all the way.
Winner: Golden V12
Reason: Flush mounts seamlessly without a gap between the top cap and the atomizer and doesn't tilt to any sides.
Overall Winner: Golden V12 clone SKU: 126721
I hope this helps anyone out with their purchases. I am loving the Golden V12 Trident Clone and it looks very good on my Nemesis which also has the gold plated top cap ring and locking ring!
