HH.357 made in China

[emonty]

Ok I caught your attention!

This is not a fact, but I am sure that the HH.357's are not hand made by Hanna for the simple fact that I don't believe he is capable of making one let alone dozens a day as he will never have the time to make so many and besides all that it will be too expensive also. What I do believe is that the materials are chosen by him, send to China and assembled over there. Is that bad? No! But please let us wake up and stop thinking it is USA made by him, because it is not! I love the HH.357, it is one of the best atomizers on the market today, but for $22 plus shipping which totals for one attty around $26 it is a ripoff, knowing that they are made for around $2. Now is that a bad thing? No, but knowing that and the fact that statements are made to the vaping community that Hanna makes/assembles them all by hand is ridiculous. And if you are what does hand assembled mean here?

Mr Hanna: if you are a man, a true one! show us fellow vapors that you make those atomizers, if not tell us the truth and lower the price!

Im pretty sure Hanna never claimed he manufactures the 357 in the USA, the parts used for it of course come from China but each atomizer is assembled by him and tested before its shipped out.

Hanna: make us a video please while you assemble one or a part off it and the rumors are gone, we are very interested to see that!

Self-righteous much? Why do you feel he needs to answer to you? He has obviously made a great product available to the vaping community. I don't even own one, but at the same time I can't understand why you feel the urge to call someone out in a such a way on a public forum. Maybe email or call him? Give him a chance to touch on these topics with you? Seems more adult IMO

 

[emonty]

that is what forums are for no? I live in a free world, very lucky to do so, he can answer or not, I stated my opinion, if wrong, that is fine, but show me and if not that is fine too, just my $26

Feedback..conversation..yes.....but there is a such thing as tact.

 

[emonty]

to ask $26 for something that costs $2 and test the ohm rating, yes THAT is tact!

Pretty sure vendors aren't allowed to post in this section - might post where they can actually respond

And I love HH357's and fully believe they are assembled here in the states.

Someone has certainly gotten their knickers bunched. I am fairly certain that in my almost three years of vaping I have spent WAY more than $26 on something and didn't DEMAND a video showing that person made it. Jeeeeebus! *sigh*

 

[Kalimero]

Well I know Hanna and I know his attys and on that I base my honest opinion, your claim is not true. Over 3700 posts and you come up with this? Jeesus... and yet a fellow European firing blank cartridges. You just make us all look good...

UMMM don't buy them then? Makes sense to me why you would request something he don't owe you proof. I don't care that they are made for $2 in China I can't make them can you? if so start slanging these for cheaper. You have a choice! Buy them or don't. DONE!

 

[Homedude]

You called the man a liar and demanded that he prove otherwise while providing nothing more than the fact that you don't the price he charges for his product. Sorry, but the burden of proof lies with the accuser. You're the one who needs to put up...

 

[emonty]

I stick my head in the sand too, but sometimes it itches just a little too much....

 

[mamacat]

I am finding this entire thread quite entertaining, considering the OP is only one grumping. LOL

Another thing I could say you have all these Premium Mods but didn't whine about the prices of those? I think this guy is just a troll to be honest.

I think you are right. Well, I hope you are right. Otherwise, there are much deeper issues imho.

Hanna receives the parts and he hand assembles each one. I have seen pics of where and how he assembles them. In fact, last summer he was at my house and I watched him (sitting right in front of me) take apart a .357 and fix the draw for me so it wouldn't hit as hard. So in summary, parts come from China and Hanna hand builds each one .

Hanna is a friend of mine. Since he is not allowed to post here, I will post my thoughts in his defense. Please note this post is copied from google plus. The poster that started this thread also started the topic with someone one google plus. Here was my response:

Hanna lived about an hour away from me until a few weeks ago. I have not only vaped and hung out with him, but watched him make these (atomizers). He does this by hand. He designed them, builds them, tests them, and primes them. Now, if you bring china parts to the USA, and pay employees minimum wage to assemble them, there gonna be close to the same price and the quality wont be there, because they don't have a passion for it like Hanna does. As far as a video goes, not everything in the vaping world is "open source". Why would a manufacture want to share the secrets that go into something that works so well? The Pentagon says they have the best security system around, yet we have never seen a video of how it works and what the components are. Funny though, he started producing the atomizers because people were contacting him to make them after he posted a "How to" on them. Seems like the average vaper could not do what he did but still wanted this product. Please also remember, Hanna is a manufacture of the product, not the retailer. I know Hanna's profit margin, and I think its quite fair for what he does. I went crazy building 5 atomizers.

I hand-build my attys and each one can easily take an hour from scratch (rebuilding is of course much faster). All depends on how much your time is worth really. I could buy two HH.357's in financial terms if I was getting paid for that hour ... so I can sell you my DIY creations for $52 each if you want ?

Figured I'd try to lighten the mood...
