Reasonably priced authentics are the way to go. High priced tanks are a thing of the past. Clones are alright, but I rather support manufactures who release affordable authentic gear, it fuels innovation.
In that light make a lot more sence to give my money to the innovators than the immatators. Any cheap well made authentics you can steer me towards?
It does seem to good to be true right? Same finish same specs same box. Dosent seem right, is vaping just too new for copywrights or trademarks? Why do they so blantly steal their design and look?
The Chinese do not care if they infringe on our copyrights, patents, or trademarks. They do nothing to design or develop the product. They simply copy it and build it with 10 cent/hour labor.
In China, "R & D" means "receive and duplicate."
Pirates indeed. Thanks for the advice, will not buy a clone mark my words, I'll save up for my real hellboy and do my part not to perpetuate that cycle.
I should qualify what I said. The Chinese do not recognize anyone's patents. American or otherwise. Then you'll hear someone say, "The designers don't get patents". Well, it isn't worth getting a patent because the Chinese don't care about patents.

I love this day and age! I'm a new age pirate and it includes free music, movies, tv, and cheap vape gear. All from the comfort of my couch. Argg me matie. Lol

I remember when china blantly ripped off the BMW x5 and called it the xji6000400 or something along those lines and when BMW sued China decided yes it did look like the x5 but not enough like it. And bro let me tell you they were exact cookie cutters of the same car. Its a pretty messed up system I dont know nearly enough about.
Who says I care to offer one? Especially to someone so blind as to make the statement that Chinese workers make $0.10 per hour, I guess since you heard or read that statistic somewhere it becomes true for ALL Chinese workers? Have you even been to China?
FYI, the alternative is to stop bashing China based on ill-formed personal beliefs.
Right, clones are inexpensive because the Chinese sink large sums of money into R&D and humane wages for their employees. I get it now. Good thing we have you to impart your vast knowledge on us. What would we ever do without you?
It's just asinine to lump the whole Chinese work force in to your initial statement in this thread, so because one Chinese worker is paid a "slave wage" that means they ALL work for that much? Every single one in the Vaping industry? That's what your statement comes across as, no matter what no matter where there isn't a single honest good worker in China... Oh wait, Of course, how could I be so dumb...You're right they must ALL steal ideas and ALL of them are bad people, right? No, that's not right because that logic is just terrible.
What about the "Authentic" mod makers who willingly give their designs to China so that they can "double dip" their profits? They release the Authentic over here and after a month of the initial release they send the specifications to China and get a cut of every single mod sold, where they don't care if the cut is $0.10 of the sale price when China will sell 100,000 of the 'clones', This is something that has happened numerous times...all in the name of one thing, MONEY and what I have been taught is that in most industries as the profits get higher, the hypocrisy gets thicker.
