There you go. They come without the usual warranty and are cheaper because they are more likely to pop than the regular ones, methinks.

You have valid points. I work for one of the big boys, with margins higher than 20% and ship a large quantity, maybe more units than the eGo T because of a much longer product life. The part of the equation I didn't get into was product sales life, how long can you make and sell this model before you or a competitor replaces it in the market.
It is a balancing act to get the equation right. You have to factor in R&D cost, time to market, sales life, expected warranty costs, marketing efforts, addressable market, etc. You also need to get into customer expectations and willingness to pay. I expect more from and I'm willing to pay more for the rope I'd use to hang from the side of a mountain than the one I'll use to tie my tomoato plants with. If you can hit the Pareto principal with the equation you win.
The amount of products released in the short time since I started vaping seem to suggest a short sales life and that time to market is critical.
My real point or more a question, Does the additional investment of money and the loss in time to market required for additional testing and modifications translate into more total sales and better profit than just releasing it now?
How much do you vape per day?
Hey Issac do you have Dead Space in your tank?

As usual- helpful and timely![]()

how do i align the tip of my cart and the button on the battery?
but i thought that the flat side of the cart have to match the flat side of the atty metal plate?
If you pull the inserts out of the mouth piece you can tell the difference in draw between lined up and not. With the inserts in I can't tell a difference.but i thought that the flat side of the cart have to match the flat side of the atty metal plate?
It doesn't seem to be a requirement. Although I do make sure it is lined up on mine and I have had no issues so far, so call it superstition.![]()

One way to align them would be to pull the needle plate out and re-insert lined up the way you want. I did this but line them up with the printed Ego-T so I can tell at a glance if the tank is inserted correctly.
I just got my LR tanks i really dont see much of a difference between the reg ones and the LR.
I like i do with attys anyway.
