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.
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.
