I think another point to make is that there is a whole new generation of ecig users out there and their perception of prices are formed by clones as they weren't around when there were no clones. Added to that, I just read a members post a week ago who said that a lot of the ecig shops who sell clones don't even list them as clones. New customers don't know the difference and even some experienced ones can't tell anymore. So when they see mods in their local shop for 30.00, that's the value they formulate in their minds and so they see American made mods for 150+, they think you are price gouging when in fact, we're barely holding on.
I'd like to think quality would win through, but it doesn't in the ecig market, these aren't high end watches or cars, and when you can buy literally TEN mods from fastech for 200 bucks an ELA doesn't look so good anymore, no matter its quality. Many just want it cheap and fast and they don't care who it comes from. Hell, I'm guilty of that on some products....
