Been using my coppervape Bf for a couple of weeks now and love it apart from the finish on the brass.
This is a before and after using a Polish cream called Simichrome that I use on clock restoration.
Here's the before

Here's the cloth and product shots. Can't believe so much tarnish on a mod that is more or less from out the box.

Wow shiny, good job.
My Wraith is getting a bit grubby but I can't seem to get it clean at all. I don't really know what to use.

If you have a metal mod then the Simichrome is fantastic it is a cream and not as abrasive as other polishes. Not cheap but worth it.
Not sure about the Wraith, mine is a white one and the same.
I shall do some research on that one next. [emoji1]
 
I could do with doing my Coppervape, but tbh I'm trying to eke out the protective coating for as long as possible. I used to have a brass zippo and remember being gutted every time I polished it and it was tarnished within the hour.

Yeah mine is the white one.... boy was that a mistake! I just didn't think my hands were that dirty but it's definitely grime rather than juice.
I'll be interested to see what you find.

The Simichrome leaves a non greasy protective film that slows down tarnish. I will let you know how it goes. [emoji6]
