I understand what you are saying....and yes, the
vaping community does help each other..... Hana is only protecting their property according to our laws. Not saying I agree or disagree with their method, but consider this:
A vendor, as of today, is still advertising a "logo" clone as an exact copy of the Hana.... I know for a fact a "vape buddy" sent them an e-mail about this whole issue a week ago. He was doing a favor by caring enough to communicate the issue to the vendor in a pro-active mode.... Vendor still continues to advertise and take pre-orders and didn't even respond back to the "caring vaper" who took the time to try to warn the vendor......
Now it has come to light that vendors are now selling the "logo" clones undercover......I'll call it what it is "the black market"......Vendors should not place the vaping community in a position to have to defend vendors using "black market tactics" to make a buck.....That also is not good publicity for e-cigarettes and vaping...
Just saying there are "two sides to every coin".... and like you said " a two-edged sword"
