in my next shipment after this first 50 i will have the white passthrus.. now i recently saw someone on the forum who was upset about the price.. well mine is cheaper from janty, we spent nearly 4000.00 to do the INITIAL run of these! And joyetech sent MY prototypes to janty and they bought them. I got a little upset after spending so much time on the phone with joye discussing design, specifying and making sure it would be manual etc.. and then to my dismay.. its up on janty's site... now about the 25.00 ok fine dont freaking buy it.. seriously.. sure i do have a markup on them. Im a business with operating costs etc.. and most my pricing is below the norm anyways.. But the fact that we put up the money to get these made and now another company has them is really shady to me.. i really dislike china sometimes for that reason. then again we are all out to make a buck and hopefully help people. and i hope that customers continue to buy from me because im personable, you can talk to me on the phone, ask me questions in chat i bust my but to make sure orders go out before post office cutoff time etc.. and if you read my testamonial section. i think i am doing an okay job. i could always just say the heck with the passthrough then u would all have to order through janty....
sorry to rant but sheesh.. and dont be suprised if you start seeing a lot of sellers raising prices in the not so distant future.. things are getting really hard to get into the country and we are taking huge risks every time we order.. some of us could lose our whole business if we lose a shipment..
At the risk of some disliking my statement... That does not invalidate it.
JOYE Techs Alibaba page has had the manual switch style Passthroughs for the 510 pictured for quite some time now.
See:
USB passthrough charger electronic cigarette Manufacturer exporting direct from Guangdong China
Companies in other countries have been offering this exact unit, Manual switch, inline battery, 510. Black or white. Branded, even (takes longer production lead times, larger MOQs, more $ invested) These being available for quite some time through said companies.
See:
Translated version of http://www.liberty-cig.com/ - (translated link- French site) For some reason the translated link will not let you click on the specific model in discussion. However, if you click the "View Original Web Page" link, you should be able to see large pics and read a full French description of such.
Will you blame Liberty Cig as well? When they were selling it much before mention of it here. Perhaps not to many members knowledge, but still available. I find it very hard to believe you had something 'specifically designed for you', and invested such money in its development.. When it has already been developed and available for quite some time elsewhere.
Heck, Ive even got one coming any day.
