If I'm a supplier of these products, I'd do away with all the boxes because it saves money for me and also makes customs easier to pass cos you can have all the atomisers in one box and all the batteries in another one as well as the carts or liquid.
As a customer, i would want the box for novelty purposes and it makes me feel that the high price i paid is worth it...lol...
A good solution is to add a "without the fancy packaging" option on your website and give a discount when customer opts for that...
just my 2 cents...
edit: I agree with trog on his concerns on blatant advertising...I mght be a junior member but i also love this place and wanna give my 2 cents...I apologize if i'm off topic...
A lot of times, suppliers in this forum are easy to spot and their status is clear cut. They buy from manufacturers in China and resell to us. That is fine cos we know there are only a handful of manufacturers anyway.
When someone like David comes along (i'm sorry David, no personal attack intended. You have a good reputation here.), I believe its the responsibility of the powers of this forum to validate his claims of being a manufacturer. I know for a fact that many companies in China claims to be manufacturers but are in fact trading companies or at most just manufactures some of the housing for e-cigarettes. Every e-cig companies in China will claim that they are the original and everyone else rips off their products! This does not help the situation either.
This is important to protect consumers like us. Although no real harm is caused but i really wanna be sure of whom I'm buying from and i'm sure almost everyone feels the same and thats why we check the review section so frequently.
I don't know how exactly this validatio can and should be done....Its only my spur of the moment thoughts....No offence to anyone...If there is, i apologize in advance...
