it just makes me wonder if these atomizers work, then what is the point of me paying 100$+ for a 'authentic'? for now i been getting clones, i have some mutation x clones that are perfect and a darkhorse clone that works perfectly from eccigity. Thought those were dirt cheap since they were less than 20 bucks each. but 10$ for rebuildable attys? ... lol, what are the authentic manufacturers giving me for paying 100$ more for the authentic? i just dont get it.
Ok, I'll try to explain it to you.
Reason 1: You can trust the makers of authentic devices when they tell you what materials are used to make their products. Oh yeah, and they're usually WILLING to tell you what materials they use.
Reason 2: The quality of the machining is simply better. Yes, it may be a fine point but it's important to a lot of people. Until you've owned one and seen/felt the quality difference for yourself, it's very difficult to explain. Kinda like fine alcohol, designer clothes or an HD TV - can you cover your gonads with clothes from Walmart, get drunk on ripple and watch football on an old TV? Absolutely. But some people prefer to wear name brands while drinking top shelf booze in front of a nice TV.
The MAIN reason: To support the folks that have the ingenuity to design these devices and bring them to market on their own (usually limited) funds; and to NOT support a country that is our de facto enemy and who actively STEALS our technology, violates our (and the rest of the world's) patents, has an entire division of their military who's sole job is to hack into our military and corporate computer systems to steal whatever they can and who uses the manipulation of their own currency to play with our economy and fight an economic war against us.
How would you like to come up with a really cool atomizer, pour your life savings into having a few thousand of them manufactured to the highest standards, using the best materials and providing jobs to your fellow countrymen and then wake up to find out some Chinese company bought ONE of your products, copied it and is now selling it for $9.99? And, to make matters worse, they aren't paying you one red cent of royalty while your loan payment is still due every month. Then, you log on to ECF to find some guy asking, "why would I buy some over-priced authentic? Lol! What are they going give me for that extra money?" ¡FACEPALM!
Well, YOU asked.
I've got lots of respect for the original products coming out of China. No doubt, they have done a lot for
vaping. HOWEVER, this "clone" business really disturbs me. Somebody coined that term because "counterfeit" and "patent theft" just didn't sound right in a product description.
