While he makes some valid points, I think he's sort of missing the point. Vaping is, and always will be, a cost-benefit affair. In China the mantra is generally "make it fast and cheap." This is especially relevant (and deleterious) since these devices aren't made under contract for Western companies who have more skin in the quality control game.
Another issue is the inherent design defect in any cart - the polyfill. This stuff will inevitably clog, expand, and burn, thus creating all the problems he's .....ing about. Add those issues to a hermetically sealed tank and voila! A video.
Vaping is a relatively new activity, and the technology, while certainly available, hasn't reached the optimal cost-benefit ratio which would ensure quality products at reasonable prices. Just check out some of the rebuildable atomizers - $129!! Might be a good deal if you like fooling around with this stuff at that level, but for most... Apparently, though, in today's market that's what bullet-proof products cost.
Don't forget that manufacturers and vendors need to move inventory, so if every atty and cart lasts two or three months, they're not making any money. Fact of life, although it doesn't excuse defective crap.
The problem as I see it is that everyone expects perfection from dirt-cheap products. One reason I don't buy Vision-o-Mizers or whatever is that I'm not gonna drop 5 or 6 bucks on a something that's probably no better than a buck-twenty five Boge or Kanger. Until our Asian friends figure out that polyester wicks and fill are inferior materials for the purpose, all the fancy colored tubes, fat wicks, double-braiding, and blah are just icing on a moldy cake.
If you want to avoid at least some of the problems ranted about in the video try my new system -
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-cartomizer-tank-discussion/298902-amazing-automatic-drip-o-mizer.html It's not perfect and you'll have to play around with it a bit for best results, but it's the closest thing I've found so far to ideal, relatively trouble-free advanced vaping. Leaks and gurgles? Sure, occasionally, but that's the current state-of-the-art.
Anyway, end of rant. Hmmm... maybe I should post a video too. Nah.
