it's a very tricky game to play. If you have a big share of the market, like the american auto makers did, it's easier to make sub-par items and get away with it. This is due to the fact that people don't have anywhere else to go to purchase that product or it's equivalent. However, if the market share is low, and there are multiple options for consumers, the market will dictate the companies performance.
The vape market is vast, multiple vendors creating various models everyday. The suppression of technology wouldn't make any sense, it is more of an issue with cost vs. performance. High end mods and low end devices both have a place in the market, it's up to the manufacturer to determine where they want their product to be. It is much harder to suppress tech in a global economy because there will always be someone out there that will strive to create the best product i.e. iphone vs. galaxy s#'s. Someone will try to better their market share with a better product.
I'm not alleging anything, just asking for opinions and discussion.
