Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 king-brushed-brass-knurled-striker by Richstag, on Flickr Thanks for any knowledge. Looking for a review. Please move this if its the wrong spot. I want a setup like this. Need some opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You can get a good copper king clone for $40-50. Which IMO would be better than the brass one. Aside from that I don't know anything about it. Lol. But I'm pretty new as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I appreciate that very much. To be upfront I do not want any clones. I am going for an original no matter which I decide on. So if this is not a good setup, thats cool and I want to know. Just don't want clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Oh no I never said it wasn't good. I don't know whether it is good or not! I just know that copper is generally better, lol. But in your case, an original copper mod would probably be a bit pricey. I don't mind clones myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't mind clones either, I just don't want one for this. I am only getting one and I want it to be an original. Pay homage to the original. I like how brass ages. This surefire is at the very top of the range I am saving for. I saw it set up with that tank and it LOOKS perfect for my style but I know nothing about the product. Thanks again for helping out. Its appreciated.

mvince201 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's definitely a sweet looking setup! I'd say you'd be pretty safe with any name brand original production mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's a good quality clone... But not an original... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 What is the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm not even sure that model has been released yet. Lol. But an original king mod will probably run between $200-275 if I had to take an uneducated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) So is the Surefire Knurled King the clone or the Loki V2? And what would be the original counterpart? I posted a pic of what I believe is a Surefire King and Loki cartomizer. I found the King (Surefire) for 230.

mvince201 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I believe Surefire is in fact the original producer of the King mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 So then the Loki is a clone? Whats the original version of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeVapor Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 From what I looked up last night, the King Mod is legit as well as the Loki V2 carto tank. Definitely a nice, expensive, set up. Not sure about carto tanks as I have never used one. But from the reviews I have read about the King mod it is a very nice device. I believe the picture that was posted was a promotional shot used for one of the vendor sites that sells these products. I would be interested to hear what you guys think about the carto tanks versus kangers, RTAs, gennys, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks Ry. Looks like there's not much info here for this set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I just put an order for Surefire knurled king mod brushed brass limited edition roman numeral IV, Loki V2 brushed brass, xTar VPI charger, 2 Sony 18650, 2 AW IMR 18350 BT, Brass Sumo tip and Flow Cartomizer short standard resistance punched box. I hope this is a long lasting solid set up. It will be my only mech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I hope this is a long lasting solid set up. It will be my only mech. Only mech? Lol. We'll see... That is an awesome setup. Probably a lot of coin on it too! Once the mech bug bites, it usually doesn't let go. I thought I'd only buy 1. Well, that was 5 mech mods ago.

Richstag Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks dude! It has to be my only mech. I get too sucked into this stuff. Knives since around 99. Could have bought a vacation home... Flashlights? I was mentally ill for that hobby! Ah, but I love all my high end quality gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashlights? I was mentally ill for that hobby! Ah, but I love all my high end quality gear. I have the same problem. Things that I truly enjoy I go a little crazy with. I am also a blade buff, also a gun nut ( really anything marksmanship) and a survivalist. I feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I hope this is a long lasting solid set up. It will be my only mech. I said that once to myself, and now I have 4... LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I said that once to myself, and now I have 4... LMAO. I wasn't even looking at getting a mech mod when one jumped into my hands for free! Now there are two mechs and two APVs. I don't even want to start counting all the Spinners and regular eGo batteries I have now.
