American Made?

[zombienerd]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a 100% US Made PV. All components sourced, and manufactured in the US?

I have done some deep searching, and haven't found any so far that can guarantee that they are 100% US made.

I've noticed a lot of e-cig websites list "Assembled in the USA" but still use the parts from overseas.

So, are there any truly American PV's out there?

Unfortunately, not really. Its the attys that are the issue, as they are all made in china at present. There is a vendor selling atty kits now, where you can build your own, and I believe Vaporer has explained how to make your own atty, but in general they are china-made. The battery housing part is often milled and created here in the US for many mods. But the atty is the foreign part, and for the time being, it seems like it is not a good investment to set up an atty manufacturing plant here and be able to compete with the Chinese prices. I do expect this will change with time, but its not the case just yet.

Kurt, you forgot about Carlos mod - box mod and attys build by Carlos here in USA.
I am just not sure how to contact him or is he still in business.

Oh, ya! Totally forgot about that one! I think it was called a Juicebox. You are right, it was a permanently attached atty of his design.

But don't minimize the quality of vaping products from China. I am especially impressed by Joye and Boge. Joye's products are quite well know (although the wonderful Joye 302 penstyle atomizer often isn't thought of). The Boge Leo gives me the most pleasurable vaping experience I have ever known. [Of course, my American-made Infinity hasn't arrived yet. Even then, however, it's a Joye 302 atomizer I'll put on it ... and I'll wish that I could use my Leo atty with it.]

And more and more, vaping products are and will be Chinese-American (or Chinese-European). For example, Janty's influence on Joye products; Leaford's presence in China developing products for Vapor4Life and Bloog; frequent trips to China made by American vaping suppliers and entrepreneurs; etc.
