AaaHa!
Supporting clones I see!
That monstrosity is neither pizza or Hawaiian....it's a clone!
Everyone has their own opinion of something's value. I will never buy a Glas because I don't see the value in it, but plenty here do.
I have some beautifully made Chinese authentics, and clones. I've also gotten a couple of crappy ones.
I have some beautifully made high end authentics. I've also gotten a couple of crappy ones. However, I get much more upset about getting crap when I've spent a lot of money for it.
I've also gotten some good deals on some authentics by buying used or waiting for sales. My Poldiac was $68 on sale. Definitely worth it. I love that mod. Bought a Ragnarok Memorial Day for $30. US made, too. Another great deal.
I like nice things so I need to be patient and thrifty sometimes. Or buy Chinese authentics. I'm fine with that.

I shell remind myself that many ECF members are buying things not so much for vaping, but because they are collectors. For them "authentic" is a real deal. So I remind myself: do not discuss clones with collectors.
That's an abomination. It's not pizza. Come to Chicago or New York. We'll show you pizza so good that it makes Italians shout "Hallelujah! We have seen thee face of God now!"
I dunno about that.
I don't see a lot of love for Youde from the authentic crowd. They tend to view authentics as "low end" if they don't cost an extravagant amount, regardless of performance or originality.
I think they see it more of a "Rolex" thing.
Status symbol.
People Don't buy a Rolex for it's performance (which is horrible).
But hey....what to do I know.
I have both authentic and clone hardware.
I don't give it much thought once the vapor starts filling the room.
I would not be surprised. I do not like pizza when I am in Italy. They know nothing about toppings.
China isn't a third world
Country.
You realize they make the best communications devices on planet earth in China right?
You think they can't build a flashlight For less than $200?
I'm actually ashamed that we can't manufacture a flashlight body with a 510 top cap for less than $200
Oh, I don't know. I think I am somewhat of a collector, or at the very least a hobbyist. I'd be happy to talk clones any time!
Some time around the Boxer Rebellion, I would imagine.
Although the average wage in China is still far behind other industrial nations, their people are definitely waking up and smelling the currency, have been for a while. They're not all peasants anymore.
