The whole world goes through customs. Why China?

True without disclosure from them all we are left with is speculation.
I think child labor is cheaper in Guatemala and it is probably less distance for the shipping fees. They do have a Vaporshark shop location there. I think it is their only shop outside of Florida. We may never know.

Talk about child labor, you didn't respond on an i - device did you?

From where?

They didn't state. It was somewhere between 3-4 weeks after I had ordered. They just said they were waiting on customs. Fortunately, I received one soon after that aside from having to accept a different color than my original choice. I was still glad to receive one at that point.

almost every piece of electronic equipment has parts made from china. not saying this is bad. I am one of the few believers that items made in china can be just as good (or even better) than products made in the US.

Even Sony has a bunch of factories right over the border in the hills of Tijuana. A lot of it has to do with who is in charge of quality control within the supply chain. I briefly helped with Sony parts being made using plastic injection with dye moulds in Burbank Cailifornia when I was younger. Made fishing reels too. We had good quality control. My cloupor dna 30 was made in China and hasn't had any issues. It was designed well to keep ejuice out too.

Are you employed by VaporShark?



Also, wow the repair on the rDNA is $80.00? Wonder why it is so much more then the DNA 30 at $25.00? Oh, they are repairing the boards now. Hmm, but its a base fee? Still a little foggy on that one.

Yes, I really enjoyed the RDNA for the two weeks prior to the screen dying. Those things happen. Everyone has to love the evolv chip. The next DNA 40 chip coming out now will be even better.

The Dna40 is going to change the way a lot of us think about vaping. It is really revolutionary :D
