I never understood the whole MSRVP thing or whatever you call it on fixed pricing for vape gear. It doesn't make anymore money for the manufacturer of the item. makes them less money because nobody with half a brain will pay that much for it.
Marking up vape gear 200+ percent is just stupid. Only people that will buy it will be new vapers that don't know anything and probably can't build the thing correctly anyway.
Company's like this need people like US! Where the kinda people that buy items when they first come out through group buys, were the ones that talk the items up online and make videos of how good something is and how to make the best build on it. We move the industry, create hype, and fully inspect items to figure out how to fix any issues that exist and find work arounds for flaws if any. Without veteran vapers like us purchasing items and making videos and reviews on them, all you have to go by is the word of the manufacturer or seller it... which we all know you can't trust since they just have money in mind, not the end users. the trust and opinion of your fellow vapor about a product goes a long way.
with a super over priced item like this, it's just gonna sit on sites and shops not being purchased and lose it appeal. Eventually when they see no one is purchasing it do to the insane price tag, they will have to lower the price and by then the item will be old news and something else that's similar and cheaper will have already taken it's place. Either that, or some other china company will clone it and sell it on fasttech for super cheap... like the IGO-L and IGO-W's you see on FT that aren't really made by UD.
