So US companies clone PRC products too?

So what if a US company did copy a PRC product? Turnabout is fair play as far as I am concerned. They copy everything anybody else makes and would probably clone their own mothers of they thought they could make a buck on it.
You know, any number of small cluster industrial parks could have been quickly built out and producing ecig hardware in the US.
There's so much profit .......but it's been almost 10 years and ......crickets.
Really no excuse.
IMHO we've become lazily dependent on PRC and that's the way it is.
No need to get fisticuffs about it. Nobody said it was a problem.
What is really happening is they are not only copying a PRC product, but the product IS also PRC....just with the "name" of US company on it, in my Halo example.
Really rather humorous, when you think about it.
Read this on Reddit a few days ago. Some might find it informative :

The problem isn't cloning, we can clone and improve upon just about anything they make. It's the supply chain, mass-manufacturing costs alot of money and in the US it's damn near impossible, SUPER expensive and very hard to come by. Not to mention the choke hold that China has on the metal industry, getting anything in high quantities over here isn't easy. Let's say you can come up with a shipment of 1 metric ton of metal bars (an example), they'll pull 100 tons out of nowhere, copy the design and drive the price to virtually nothing compared to you, can't win against them. That's why people are starting to design stuff here and have it made overseas.

There aren't a lot of PRC products that US companies could manufacture and sell even close to the same price.
If EGO batteries were manufactured here they would cost $200 each.
Yea it's not a true communist country.
They have independent billionaires.

I thought I read somewhere (probably here) that Halo just licensed the EGO and iStick 50 to be used with the halo flame logo? Could be wrong... I love the looks of that though. Very good photographer for that product
Wouldn't this just be a Halo product with Joyetech as the OEM? Not sure how it's a clone.
OEM ... Order a few thousand units and the Chinese producers engrave/stamp your own logo on it.
OEM ... Order a few ten thousand units and they'll make it to your specs.
And once they've done with your order, they likely keep the assembly line running and sell that on their own
Cheaper, of course.

Not sure but for every legit joyetech product there are a dozen manufacturers making clones.
With a factory right down the block.
Chinese companies knock each other off daily.
There has never been a true communist country.
Nope the pecking order must assert itself in all primitive species.
No prob. And know that even when I knew that, I was a Joyetech fan. Never once bought a Janty product, although I really am curious about their atties. I mean, Joyetech atties were quite sometime-y, and I always wondered if those were actually Janty rejects.
Wouldn't doubt if Janty and Joye went their separate ways around when the MID battery came out. Pretty innovative device.
They now have a box mod I'm unfamiliar with. Anyone know what this is?
