Oh Gods won't you guys stop it with the terrible analogies?
Using bad analogies in a discussion is like putting catsup on spaghetti noodles.

I understand a fixed budget and I understand that clones aren't made without the trademarks. But (bet you knew that was coming), I also understand the maker who wants to protect their trademark. Unfortunately many of these makers are like you and on a fixed budget. They can't afford to go after the cloners. But they can't afford to do that on their budget. This doesn't mean that it is ok for the cloner to steal the trademark.
I would love a Jaguar - but I can't afford it. but you won't see someone clone a Jaguar because that company has enough money to stop them.
Let's put this another way that may be more clear - if you, Two_Bears, created a wonderful product that took you 10 years of hard work to build and make perfect. You decided to sell this product - wouldn't you want compensation for your investment? You might not try and overcharge for it, but you would want to try to make back the money you spent building it, wouldn't you? Would you feel it was ok for someone else to steal you idea, put your trademark on it and sell it cheaper because they used inferior or the wrong parts?
I still think it would be wrong.

It doesn't offend me. The decision to buy authentic or clone is each person's decision.I buy what I want and if it offends someone, too bad. It's not you're problem. If an authentic is over priced and there's good clone available for a lot less, I'm buying it.
If you are upset about China ripping off patents and cloning products, all I can say is TOO BAD.
Never mind vaping mods...china clones EVERYTHING. Within a couple of weeks of the iphone coming out, they had a clone already selling in china, with their own app store, and the device was better in a number of ways.
Seriously...you name it, china has or will rip it off.
And there is NOTHING you or anyone else can do about it.
I just don't get why people here get so upset and bothered about this. It's none of their business what other people do or buy. You will NOT stop people from doing it. Just leave it alone.
Threads like this one should not exist. These conversations are always started by people who have a problem with clones. In this forum, we should only be concerned about vaping.Who's upset? It does make vaping look bad that so many vapers support criminal enterprise, but I don't care about regulations or what others think about vaping or vapers...

What kids issue???Same could be said with the kids issue, vaping in public issue, stealing trademarks, outright stealing of product, getting non-smokers to vape, shall I go on?
What kids issue???
If kids are vaping, it's the parents fault. It has nothing to do with clones.Whether kids ought to be able to vape nicotine. I observe they always will and that no adult (or group of adults) will ever stop this. So, why would any vaper resist this when it is none of their business?
