Hey I just got my brass king used, and it came with the certificate and the firing button does have the "made in USA", other than that, can anyone tell me if it's possible to see if the engraving is deep like the real thing? or is it like a clone? I would hate to spend that much on this... the airflow ring does work also, but I've never seen the real king, so I don't know how the airflow looks .

thanks!

KING OWNERS ! that use an 18650 battery! do you guys notice the button is nice and short and perfect without a battery but once you put a battery inside, you barely have to press it and it fires? is it normal or is it my battery? I don't like how it feels... I'd rather have it feel like I'm really pressing a button

I use a flat top battery and yeah after the battery is in the mod, you barely have to press to fire. I don't really mind it but my problem is that the mod hits really weak and all the reviews I've see says its a hard hitter.

I really wish I could push the button as much as if there was no battery inside, doesn't feel satisfying to my fingers...

I hope it's not your mod. I can't test mine out yet because my omega is coming in the mail, but the rsst I purchased for temporary use hits fine, pretty good clouds for a genesis I think, but again, it's my first genesis, which I'm selling when my omega comes in

Im gonna try clean my copper pins and see if it fixes the issue. On the Vaperev site it says that you can adjust the firing button by loosening or toughening it.

Btw have you guys tried adjusting the Air flow on the top cap. I can't seem to get it to move.

I forgot to mention I got the copper pins silver plated at my local shop. and the air flow but was really hard to move at first but hold the top and then just unscrew it really hard. works really well after you nudge it the first time. I love the beast

What kind of shop silver plate things and how much did it cost? I tried to move the airflow ring but it still won't budge, did you just use brute force lol. Also I cleaned my copper pins with vinegar and it's working slightly better now.

my local vape shop did it for $20, took like 20 minutes. and I kind of just turned it really hard, it wasn't super super hard but it was tough the first time. you just gotta play with it after you loosen it.

I took off the top part so it was a little easier to hold and turn the nut. I held it by the top not by the battery contact pins

Guess I'll have to try harder lol. Release my inner hulk. Too bad there's no vape shop around my area, the closest one is 30 mins away and are amateurs that only sell k100s and tanks.

That's normal, the King has a deliciously short throw. Love it or hate it, that's the way it's meant to be.

I have 3 King clones and am ordering a genuine one from Vaperev. I really want to see what the difference is. I'm sure the gennie is better but I can't wait for a side-by-side comparison.

let me know the difference! I heard the clone feels really nice too and it's just like the real thing and hits jus as hard..
