Howdy folks,
Figured I'd chime in on this one (only post actually), vaping is a personal preference and choices we make are ours to keep. Some like U.S.A made mods, some like China made mods...Some like myself that are a broke college student grad. really don't care as long as it vapes.
I have both worlds sitting on a table, I've an IHybrid and GGTS clone with AGA-Tiamat+ on it, the funny thing is they both vape and isn't that what matters. I don't take my IHybrid everywhere only because if I break it I'm out a rather descent sum of money (about a years worth of saving up actually). If I drop my GGTS then oh well can readily replace it.
If you have a disposable income that allows spending then thats cool, however not everyone does. So to say that you hate ( I'd would have used disliked as verbage personally) anything not U.S.A made is a personal choice. Reguardless of the matter this and that, we all have our reasons for choosing mods and set-ups that we do (personally I don't care what you vape on, just that you made a decision to save your life).
Replacement plans aside, a lot of good equipment comes out of both locations and additionally well the same amount of bad equipment. The world trade market dosen't factor in humanitarian issues when it comes to production of goods. Actually often enough in any market the balance shifts towards the consumer value side of the house and not quality and this is a proven fact time and time again (look at outsourcing for the government and local businesses).
With this being said the real issue comes in to vocalizing personal opinions in a diverse market such as the E-Cig world, I say vape on and vape happy on what you have, the choices you make is what makes it yours in the long run.
