The button on my authentic Roundhouse is the SAME as the one on my clone Vindicator and they’re BOTH smooth operators.
Another forum...I can’t be specific ha ha. Have you taken the button apart and cleaned it?

I have, no change. Spring looks fine. I think it’s just not machined right. It doesn’t push up straight and those little lobes get caught. Bad enough when they stick and it won’t fire, but they could stick when it’s firing too. Oh well. I did just order the authentic. And maybe I can find a replacement switch for this one.

The brass toned GEAR is actually what they call "gold", but as you can see, it's more of a brass tone. Love it!
One thing about clones is many of the most popular mods are cloned by more than one company. If they're authorized clones, then the listing will likely state the manufacturer. Infinite, SXK and Tesla are among the better cloners. I don't know about Tobeco, but some of their clones were excellent. hcigar is, unfortunately, out of the mech business. Some of their clones were as good or better than the authentics.
My Vindicator clone is the generic clone that they still have at fasttech. Stacks up pretty well against the authentic, except for the fire button.

Here's the Fasttech Vindicator clone, along with the Goon 24 clone that came with the US1 clone.
Vapemail yesterday=new love. The Galaxies RDTA by Vapefly absolutely rocks! Looks ultra cool on my High-Flier X-15 (made in LA--for $45, the best US made mod this side of Kennedy).
I don't think so. I've never seen a branded clone Vindicator. But some companies, like Avid Lyfe, have actually set up or contracted with Chinese manufacturers to make clones for them. There's a lot more money in $20-$50 clones than in $300-$1000 designer mods.
Then there's the whole thing of US manufacturers (like ThunderHead Creations) and designers (like Stan at Tenacious TX Vapes) that simply have Chinese companies make their products for them. Look for much more of that coming.
Oh, you said authorized clone so I thought authorized by Kennedy. Who are they authorized by then?

I didn't say that there were any authorized Kennedy clones. Any Kennedy clones are unauthorized, and Kennedy isn't getting any money. But some manufacturers do have cloning agreements. Prominently Purge, Vicious Ant, Comp Lyfe, Avid Lyfe and Broadside.
You said “if they’re authorized clones”. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding.

I was talking about other companies, not Kennedy. Like I said "I've never heard of an authorized Vindicator clone...)
Here's a cool example of authorized cloning. The atomizer is an authentic Vicious Ant--clone--of the legendary Kraken RDTA. Excellent RDTA, have no idea of how it stacks up to the original. But it's a great RDTA in its own right.
The mod is a clone of the Vicious Ant Phenom. It's an authorized clone by Tobeco. Excellent mod--the threads are as smooth as the threads on my VA Silverback. The 1/4 turn locking fire button is extremely smooth. Oddly, the finish is one that VA never offered. Their brass/steel fusion is the most popular finish for the Phenom, but they never did copper/steel. They should have. It rocks!
The switch on the authentic Vindicator is flawless. Everything about it is butter.
Oops, just saw that you ordered one. Good for you
