We have pics of the factory on V4L..it looks like a high tech surgical suite. Steve was over there (maybe he went back) and might have some more pics for us. I am not too worried about the factories over there as they are highly regulated. I worry more about Billy Bob's juice facory here in the U.S...out back in the shed with the 3 dogs and the chickens. (no regulations in the U.S. and of course I am tongue in cheek..as far as I know there is no Billy Bob juice)

I've been researching the ecig in china for sometime, so pictures can be decieving. I can not understand why the companies charge so much, I understand they have to make a profit; however paying 11.00 bucks for a 510 or ego kit and selling them for 50+. Then the eliquid, approx: 30cents for 10ml. All batteries cost relatively the same, regardless where you buy them from.

Would you prefer they cost as much as analogs?

Well, bwig, it's called capitalism. You don't like the mark-up on this stuff by U.S. vendors? No problem, raise your own venture capital, travel to China and establish/negotiate your own contracts with all the necessary manufacturers and vendors, acquire the copyright and licensing fees required here in the U.S. to set up your own company (don't forget to hire the accountant, the tax lawyers, the HR and product liability lawyers, and the CS staff!), hire an ad agency, set up your website and launch your company, and do all that on a razor-thin margin of profit! And good luck!:)

Of course, there are many rip-off companies out there which are peddling batteries and juices at outrageous mark-ups (1,000s of %), but I think you will find the vendors at ECF are all fairly reasonable and competitive.

All IMHO, of course. :2c:

have you looked at Leafords pictures? He was in a video touring the plant! I understand your reservations..but you have to try this juice! I am vaping it for a year and a half and I still haven't grown a thrid eye!

I know pictures can be deceiving, but what I saw was Leaford's video. If they video-chopped it, they did a darn good job!

I've only been vaping 3 months, so it might be too early for that 3rd eye, but you've been at it long enough that if it was going it happen, it should have sprouted by now.
