I've been following this since I'm interested in the Pulse regulated box with the Gene chip he's been working on with VV. Apparently, Voopoo screwed him over on it.
Seems pretty shady. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Well... Clearly "pacta sunt servanda" belongs to the western world principles, and just by the common sense you shouldn't trust anyone who has "poo" in the name....
If you boycotted every vape company that cloned copied or flat out ripped off someone else's ideas, design, process or product you wouldn't have anything left to buy or vape with.
Bingo. I'm not convinced VandyVape is completely innocent. They wanted to use their own chip from the beginning. I feel bad for Tony, I guess. He seems OK, but all those companies are shady.If you boycotted every vape company that cloned copied or flat out ripped off someone else's ideas, design, process or product you wouldn't have anything left to buy or vape with.
A clone is one thing, especially when it states it is a clone. Making agreements with another company to provide a chip, working closely with them, then instead of delivering what you promised, stealing the design, and manufacturing it yourself as an "original" is something entirely different.
Honestly, they've released nothing but crap since the Drag, IMO and I already have a couple of those. Can't see myself picking up whatever Gene squonker they have in the works.Economic study after economic study shows that the only parties negatively affected by boycotts are the boycotters. Foregoing a product or service that you would have bought absent the reason for the boycott rarely advances the agenda and leaves the boycotters less well off because they settled for an inferior substitute.
The boycotted rarely loses and often gains because of the publicity the boycott generates.
I think I'll just wait and see. If a Voopoo boycott works and forces the company to drop the price of their Pulse clone, I may get an outstanding product at a cost well below what I would have paid if none of this happened.
I'm just a consumer who almost always acts in his own best interest.
Guess you missed or ignored the ' or flat out ripped off someone else '.
Too much whine in the vape 'industry' not enough do it yourself.
When you knowingly shoot yourself in the foot you have no one else to blame.
Make a deal with the devil, you get what you deserve.
This hits the proverbial nail on the head.I didn't miss or ignore it. Your post seemed to imply ripping off existing designs of released products. AKA clones/copies. I see no reason to boycott a vape company for that. If the original company didn't secure a patent, that is on them. Offering to help a company to release a new product and stealing the design while purposefully delaying them is something entirely different.
In manufacturing sometimes it is better to buy a part than make it yourself. Take OLED screens for example. Guess who makes the iPhone X OLED screens: Samsung. Guess who makes the OLED screens for Sony TV's: LG. If Samsung or LG had promised to deliver the screens to the respective buyers but didn't and used the delay to steal the designs they buyers were using, I would feel the same about Samsung or LG. However in both cases the companies delivered and the buyers created great products.
I agree about making a deal with the devil. However the devil is good at hiding. So I am glad this story was brought to light so now I can avoid buying this particular devil's products.
Quick side note: I actually own a 65" Sony 4k OLED TV, it's AMAZING. I took my daughter to see the new Thor movie back when it was out. After the move she looked at me and said "it was a great movie but would have looked better if we had watched it at home." The picture on this thing is that good.
Oh but they are aware of those rules and use them if it benefits them. Take as an example this statement from a random company I dug out on the internetDisgraceful as it is, it's China what do you expect?
Their rules are nothing like what the western worlds rules are.
