Mmm, Green is my favorite Soylent...
To the OP, I have plenty of Chinese
vape gear (they are the original inventors of the stuff). Some is "authentic" (Innokin,
joyetech, Kanger, etc.) and some of it is clones. I have no problem purchasing the clones, as they are CLEARLY advertised as such. I KNOW what I'm getting into, so to speak. Intellectual property laws and business culture in general are very different in the US vs. China. Yes, there are far less patent protections/enforcement in China than in the Western World. That doesn't make it bad necessarily, just different.
However, it can be argued that the lesser protections actually drives a thriving and emerging free market system in China, one in which few barriers to enter the market drive innovation and invention. Yes, the downside is increased risk to consumers. However, caveat emptor is an art that many have sadly lost. I personally would rather have a flourishing and innovative industry and carefully evaluate the products myself, rather than an overly regulated industry in which there are very few manufacturers (you know, the biggest ones who can afford the regulations) and few options of goods (as chosen by gov't or business, not in our own best interest).
