You can't take all that seriously. It's not anyone decisions or place to have an opinion on where your money but yourself.
I can't afford an authentic either and bought one anyway the month after I got my P-thingie. If I was smart I would have gotten another P- thingie instead of feeling violates by a German Atty. Then I would have another P-thingie to play with while my broken P- thingie is at the dr. Instead of a clone mech. I have 2 months out the year without birthdays or other events that I have to buy other people crap they won't use.
Not everyone is in the position to buy one authentic rba for the price of three high quality clones. If someone had a problem with where I spend my money they can bite me. Some people get mad when they get berated for spending 200 on a P-thingie then want to turn around and get mad because you bought a clone. Only a tad hypocritical, in my opinion. It's your money to spend on what you want. I'll stand by the argument that the black edition a clone, vapes better than my authentic anyway. Someone wants to say that's in my head, fine, there is a lot of other stuff up there too, none of which anyone will want to see I'm sure.
That was my point. I don't think anyone should care where someone spends their money. Live and let live.
