Wow, no wonder you told her to return it. I would have too. Extremely odd. The one I have is nothing like that. More like what you were expecting, apparently stainless steel inside and copper plated outside. At least deck and chimney. I didn't look at the tank sections now that I think on it. I'll do that once I empty my current tankful and report back if not stainless. Obviously there's a QC issue here. Could have just been the somewhat common practice of substituting something "close" at the factory to fulfill a bulk order that's short. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.The first big problem with hers was that the insides were copper - the site said it would be all SS inside. We were expecting it to look like the rose gold KFL with better plating, but nope, all copper inside and out. Then there were problems with the posts (and something else I don't remember now), so I finally just suggested she return it. Too many issues.
That's another reason I like shopping from focalecig. I've seen it mentioned often enough that I believe it. That they check and verify their deliveries and make sure they've gotten what they ordered. So that the above can't happen. I've seen a few horror stories on the FT forums where not everyone got what they thought they were ordering. Haven't heard that from FC customers (yet)

The Red looks almost burgundy to me, or is that they lighting?
