Clones and piracy are always a contentious issue and I can see both sides. When the big companies develop a product, say, a new Kanger system, or sub-system, whether its coils, tanks, RBAs etc, they put a lot of effort and expense into R&D; that's really what your paying for when you buy their products, not necessarily the actual cost to manufacture, advertise and distribute. Because clone companies don't have any R&D expenses, they're able to sell their products for the cost of manufacture only, hence the consumer realises considerable savings. Whenever possible or if an item is critical, I'll purchase authentic or original equipment (in everything, not only vapeing supplies), however, if there is no real performance or longevity difference between authentic and clone and cost gap between the two becomes greater than my personal threshold, the clone will always win out. To be brutally honest, at the end of the day, its all about me and my family and if I can save money in this area, it leaves more for other activities. Lets face it, Kanger doesn't know me, doesn't even know (or care) that I exist and they don't know what I have to do or don't do to enjoy vaping, nor should they; Kanger's job is to supply a product to a market and make a profit - I get that, but my job is to do it at the best possible price, to the benefit of my family and me. I sleep well at night.
