TW ripping off Super-T?

[Draco]

Did you sell/license to Totally Wicked the T-tips?
Just got an email earlier about TW's new tips and the drip tips look about exactally as yours. In addition to, they refer to them as T-tips in their newest case for the tornado...

 

[Trox.Shawn]

A lot of vendors now carry the "drip" tips. All it takes is to change one minuet detail and it is legal. That is the problem with the markets sometimes, but also the good thing (no monopoly). Although it is the consumers decision on which has the best overall quality.

True but looking at the pictures side by side.... Well let me just toss them up to see if Im the only one seeing things.

Probably just me it was just weird the way it was worded.

TW Long Metal Drip Tip for the 510 or DSE901

a bit pricey on the TW side.

I'd much prefer a Super T-Tip, personally. They look better (imho) and aren't branded with the TW logo.



hrm... a sexy lookin super t-tip contoured or traditional or a TW tip for nearly twice the price...

Those Totally wicked ones are cheap nickel coated steel (like the ones from Heavens gifts). They are not stainless steel. They use the same coating they use on junk jewelry and cheap watches that wears off in a short time. Not something you want to be sucking on. They also appear to be a rip off of my old non- widemouth design, so they are already out-dated.

Super T's are medical grade stainless steel or anodized aluminum and all feature the new "widemouth" design.

I'm looking into getting the t-tip patented. The machine shop I contract to have them made thought i have a legitimate chance of getting them patented and you have a year from release to do it. There's no guarantee a patent will be granted, but it's certainly worth pursuing.

Not to mention that Super-T has stood behind his design. I have bought about 10 of these in different styles and color. When the wide mouth design came out I got some of these and then shipped my other style T-Tips to get re drilled to the new design. David did a great job. Not only did he re drill them but he also put a like new finish and shine on them.

Thanks Super T!!!!!!!

SysEx, that TW price for their drip tips is $36.99 for 10 of them, not for just one. They're $3.99 per tip.

oh...silly me.

 

[Draco]

Ahh, I thought so about the cheap materials and plating. I was just rather confused as they look like they just dead on copied the T-tips. And they even say t-tip once. Made me kind of laugh.

Also, if you look at the TW tips they don't appear to be as wide as my wide mouthed t-tips. So in any case I am still very very happy that I bought all my tips from David rather than some cheap knock off from TW.

Thanks David for your amazing t-tips!!

Yes, patent the T-Tips. You should be compensated for innovation, not ripped off.

More importantly, enter the original Precise in a good product design competition. If it wins something, it's good for business and embarrassing for those wishing to ban these products.

 

[dalton3699]

do you guys have any idea what it costs to patent something or how long for that matter.....

Also patents dont matter at all to china.....
so ultimately its not the most feasible thing to do

Yes, i am aware of the costs and time. No, it won't stop China, but China's knockoffs of most all products are made of inferior metals and cheap coatings. This is a personal decision anyway that has it's pro's and con's that i am well aware of.

I will be applying for a patent for the Precise too. Again, there is no guarantee the patent will be granted, however, i believe it is worthy to pursue because there is also a fair chance it will be granted given this technology is in it's infancy.

 

[tedward1555]

I purchased several drip tips from you but I really love the stainless longer wide mouth contour. It feels great in my mouth and I never make a mess dripping into it. When I try anyone elses drip tip I always miss the hole and make a mess... But I have 55 yo eyes.
Love your products!!

My heart aches for ya forcedfuel. You did invent them, and it just sucks that they are using the exact same design that you made.

Take solace in the fact that you created the must-own accessory for vapers. Good luck with the patents.

It looks like someone else is joining the party. Just found this "Shorty" Delrin T-Tip (510/901) - VaporFlow. Trademark?
