Remember that one movie where they created a clone army. And then remember that next movie where the clones executed order 66 and started killing all the guys with the glowy swords, but those guys thought that the clones were their friends. And then like the next movie that was actually somehow shot 30 years before the last movie they had just regular authentic stormtroopers and werent making clones anymore. Then the good guy from the first two movies who became bad in the third movie was extra evil in the first movie but fourth in the series killed his mentor now played by a different actor in the past. And then in the 5th movie he tells the one whiney kid that he is his dad after he cuts his hand off. It ended up working out well because the prophesy about the evil dude saying he would bring balance to the force, even though this was before he turned evil... but anyway he threw that one really creepy evil dude down the shaft after he tryed to fry his whiney kid with magic lightning, but then he died after his kid took his evil helmet off.

The moral to the story... maybe dont whine so much or a creepy old dude will try to electrocute you, aaaaaaand... good or bad, clones did have a part to play in restoring balance back to the force.

Your welcome!

I have to say there is some irony involved when you have former smokers who spent thousands per year saving a few dollars on a counterfeit product. Just my opinion.

Having been involved with product design, prototyping, and manufacturing, I know how costly those endeavors are. Reverse engineering is simple. It's not just about the economics of government subsidized manufacturing in China.

and innokin has a mod that looks just like a lightsaber hilt... kinda ties everything together.

I was sooooo close to turning clone ethics post 467,974,892 into a starwars themed diversion from the same old dead horse... maybe this will help...

Im glad Disney owns the rights to Star Wars, or maybe I really hate it.

The new cross hilt lightsaber ruined my childhood, or maybe I really think its awesome.

I hope all the original characters die in the first act, or I really think mark Hamil will do a great job as an obi wan type character building a new jedi order.

The tall chick from game of thrones is actually going to play Ventress from the clone wars but older... absolute fact... or is it?


These arent the clone discussions your looking for... move along... move along...

Do a 360 looking around your house. From the clothes you where to everything you own. Where did you buy it and where is it made? Welcome to the New World Order.....like it or not. May the best B.S.er and product maker win.

Short of certain electronics where there is no other option, little to none of my household goods or clothes are made in China...

Wasn't targeting just China. 80% of time I'm in my (Made in USA) RV living and hiding in State Parks and RV Parks trying to get further off the grid as possible. Being I'm a retired Aerospace Design Engineer and Mechanic I fixed a lot of stuff on this authentic piece of ..... RV, right from brand new. Hurry up, crank it out and take their money.

Hummm......where was this whole E-Cig thing invented and started?....OH, that's right...China.
OH, that's wrong... it was invented in America, by Herbert A. Gilbert, who patented it in 1963.

Do a web search you'll find all the info on him.

In 2003 by a Doctor who's brother died of lung cancer from smoking 3 packs a day from authentic American cigs.
In keeping with the theme....... Luke, it was his father!

I don't like them because they can possibly hurt the people who made the authentics. These companies who clone are usually pretty good at machining, they should make original mods instead. And they'd probably sell more. But there are always going to be counterfeits, so it is what it is.

Common China business practices; why make something original, when one can live off the name and reputation of another?

    What I was going to say. But brand names usually sell better ... not that most people heard of them before anyway :unsure: . Meanwhile the originals were never aimed at Joe Vaper and there isn't anything else cheap and good but clones.
