Authorized/genuine sellers stamping their "name" on all Joye hardware...WTF?

I think it's the advertising angle honestly.. doesn't make it right but it is what it is.

A lot of people ask questions when they see someone vaping, and if they're interested in making a purchase, they'll remember seeing "Cignot" or whoever on the side and - BAM! dollars for doing nothing. The confirming the order thing is crap. Everyone gets an order number with an email that can be verified that way.

It's like when you buy a car from a dealership, and they have their tacky

Whatever City, State

or when places that don't specialize in apparel charge a ....-ton for you to buy their shirt.

You're paying to advertise for them, so to speak.

Cracks me up

My...that's another great point, I had never even thought of that before.

So is there any difference at all between say, The Tornado Tank and the Ego-T? Are there any differences or improvements, slight variations, ect.... or is it just a branding/advertising thing?

I have a nice "marketing contract" that I like to whip out when a car dealer gives me a BS answer as to why they "can't" remove their dealer logo stickers from MY car.

They usually figure out a way to get it taken off, or I don't buy. No one has offered to pay my VERY reasonable advertising fees, yet.

For what its worth, you can go to the Joyetech web site and find two pages of interest. One lists what they call "copycat" web sites, and others listing authorized distributors and OEM business partners. Cignot for example is listed as an authorized dealer. Liberty-Flights is listed as a copycat. Some places I know of are not on either list, so they may not be that accurate or up to date.
