Well the only thing I got from a SMY rep was that it was the Nuvonton chip. I don't know why they need to be so secretive about the chip set but you can see the video on youtube : e cig box GOD mod 180Watt Date testing!

We've been through this before...with elev8vape and ipv2's... I bet it's just like that situation. Total bs from a vendor selling it for $150.Lol its probably illegal to tell them an exact price. But its probably legal to tell them a " suggested price " and not sell to that vendor if they don't follow your suggestions. Just like any business you have the rights to sell to whomever you choose.not selling to people might get you bad rep though.
I knew someone who owned a small lawn and garden equip shop And he said Honda had set pricing that their retailers should sell at. And sure enough if you looked around most everyone selling that mower had it listed at or above that price.

On a different subject, has anyone heard anything new, in the last few days, on the IPV3 release? I haven't seen any recent progress reports. The last update where I ordered was on September 9th, with an expected release date of September 15th.
At this rate, might be the 26th of December. Seems like they keep pushing it back, week after week. But then again, maybe some vendors posted an early date to try and pick up more sales. Not sure, but I started considering this mod when I first heard about it in August.26th is the current date where I purchased.

IMAP (Internet Minimum Advertised Price)The Internet Minimum Advertised Price refers to a manufacturer’s pricing policy that does not permit retailers to advertise pricesonline that are below the specified amount. This prevents retailers from competing too fiercely on price, thus lowering the manufacturer’s reputation as a creator of quality products. A little caveat is that you may sell below the IMAP by having the customer interact with you in some fashion, such as calling orsending an email. Also, some retailers will not show the price of an item until the customer initiates a buying action. For example,in order for the customer to see your fixture price, he or she has to add the item to the shopping cart.Because the IMAP is for online only, some manufacturers will allow you to show lower prices in your showroom. However, pleaserefer to individual manufacturers’ IMAP policies.
UMAP (Unilateral Minimum Advertised Price)The Unilateral Minimum Advertised Price is similar to the IMAP, only the UMAP refers to a manufacturer’s pricing policy that doesnot permit retailers to advertise prices online or in your showroom that are below the specified amount. You may not show a pricebelow the UMAP, either on your website or on the sales tag in your showroom. Please refer to the advertised price guidelines ofyour suppliers.UMRP
(Unilateral Manufacturer’s Retail Price)The Unilateral Manufacturer’s Retail Price is the rock-bottom price you can’t sell below regardless of IMAP or UMAP. Manufactur-ers have strict rules, and you can get reprimanded if you sell below this price. Each manufacturer has their own rule regardingtheir UMRP policy.Oftentimes manufacturers overrule their own UMRP by offering special promotions. Just be aware that typically this happenswhen they are promoting overstocked or discontinued items. These promotions may have expiration dates. IMAP, UMAP and UMRP have been designed not only to help you maintain your shop but also to help manufacturers maintainthe integrity of the product. After all, Mercedes-Benz will not allow a brand new “S” class car to be sold for $10,000 at any showroom. This maintains the product value as well as the reputation of the manufacturer. Remember, IMAP, UMAP and UMRP alone can’t save you from losing money. As with any business, you have to have good marketing plans to survive. We have seen internet sales up last year. Hopefully this trend will continue through 2012. Keep yourself updated with the constantly changing rules and always askfor product, operational and selling suggestions from your manufacturers and their reps
