Anyone knows which Canadian company is involved in...

...coming up with PV related devices?

Just wondering because it's an extremely simple device compared to an electric shaver, for instance, or a portable drill. Here we are Canadians have to buy these PVs from other countries.

Merry Christmas to all!

There are some customs mod companies like switched. The main problem with manufacturing in Canada vs China is that it cost a lot more here to do it then in China, and products from a good company in China is just as good or better quality then we can do here. Who here is willing to pay 3-4x the price for a Canadian made product of the same quality as a China made product? =/ That is the unfortunate reality of manufacturing any product in todays market actually. Even all of Apple stuff are made in China...

I concur with most of what you said here, but I'm still inclined to think that Canadian companies are still wary of entering this growing market because of lack of clear government guidelines, presumably due to the product's association to tobacco products and nicotine. I'm a big fan of Home Hardware, which is a Canadian company. It always comes up with innovative tools you'll never see in any hardware store. Most of them are specialty tools that don't necessarily cater to most people. I don't see any reason why these PV devices can't be treated the same way.

Anyways, thanks for the response.

Happy Holiday.

Happy Holidays back at ya.

Canadian Tire's stuff is also made in China.

Most specialized mods are made somewhere outside of China though. They're not easy to find. Nothing to do with a lack of will - but most are made in small workshops by skilled individuals - rather than factory kickouts where you can get high volume.

As for people reluctant to enter the Canadian market - this would have nothing to do with "unclear government guidelines."

Health Canada has made their guidelines very clear:

- Nicotine is forbidden for use in ecigs - but acceptable in NRT's (nicotine replacement therapies) and cigarettes.
- ecigs are forbidden except when they either compliment NRT's or have no affect on NRT sales.
- There is no such thing as "tobacco substitutes" - it's either quit with NRT's or die.
- It doesn't matter if eliquid has dangerous ingredients - so long as it doesn't have nicotine - cause only NRT's can have nicotine.
- If someone wants to sell ecigs with HC's blessing - all they have to do is agree to the above and pay $7,500 for a medical equipment license.

Makes perfect sense!

JR Custom Turnings has been around since the 08 Jan of this year, we offer the calibre series. The limited supply mods are offered through IkenVape (US) and Maple Leaf Vapes (CA). 2012 JR Custom Turning is going live, we will have our own store http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-suppliers/249107-jr-custom-turnings-going-live.html.

Contrary to what some may think, there is a way to offer the consumer base an affordable device, by not having the store or device be a part of revenue. I offer good quality products but because I am a retired serviceman on a pension, don't feel the need for high prices. It is merely a way for me to spend retirement. Having said that, there will be several one offs that will be out of reach to the average consumer. These devices are intended for collectors and not the average consumer. 2012 will be a year of surprises in the community
