I have heard they were looking at about a 33% increase. Seems over the top to me, clones are already widely available as well as other manufacturers own products. Unless the rest of the companies follow suit,
joyetech just may price them selves out of the market, they don't really offer much that can't be found either better or cheaper now.
And if the rest of the Chinese companies follow suit, outfits like ProVape may benefit. Of course
ecig technology isn't that high tech, companies in other countries may jump in if China gets too greedy.
