It appears I missed quite a dramatic period. I just saw Dino's Facebook post on the knockoff Lavas. Very sad..
Hi Bliss and Fred!! How are ya?![]()


And every face![]()


I just don't understand why the Lavacorps thread gets to be trolled/disrupted all over the place......numerous people report the trash threads and nothing is done..... while everyone got a vaca that spoke up in the "other tank" thread....seems biased to me![]()
I PM'd a mod about it but nothing's been done.

This is better than winning a contest!! Thanks so much to strprswpr, Ever1ast ... and of course Jon!!! You guys are just great!
imitation is one thing.....greed and theft is quite another.....
I'm reporting these posts to a mod. You're only intention here is to anger everyone. You can buy whatever tank you want, I really don't care. As long as there is a demand for the one and only Lavatank then I will continue to make them. If you want to buy an inept attempt of a copy, then by all means, go ahead.
Everyone seems to be focusing on the "Pawn" or "Ming" or the "Blending" of the two regarding these tanks.
The fact of the matter is that Jon's Lavatanks were the very FIRST to incorporate the tip within the design of the tank (top cap)...which, by the way, has been blatantly, with malice, been copied to produce a product that is in effect...a rendered copy of the original.
This alone provides sufficient evidence to support a legal avenue for Jon, if he so chooses.
Do not get caught up in the details of whether it is a pawn or a ming...it is the basic design of the top cap that really should be the focus of this obvious intellectual property theft.
Also...to use a term "......ed", just makes me wonder if you in fact are ......ed.
This is my opinion, and only my opinion...and I cannot be held liable in a court of law for my opinion. BUT...copying someone's intellectual property CAN BE!
