What's your opinion about made-in-china

[mkbilbo]

I am just a new beginner of E-Cigarette and have developed interest in it gradually, recently i am searching online and find that made-in-china kinda of products have much lower price than local manufacturers,so there is a big price advantage for me at least,for example ,this rechargeable 900mAh E-Cigarette set is only

Other than a handful of advanced models (like the Provari), they're all made in China.

In fact, this "e-cig" thing was invented in China...

Very few are built in the USA. Boy do they cost.

 

[suspectK]

Oh, I only buy things that say made in USA..(assembled in USA)

I recall a time when shopping at Wal Mart = made in the USA. but today it not the same. I think it is laughable that buying something from a US B&M only to get home home remove the pretty wrapper and upon close inspection find a Made in China label.

I unfortunatly do not have unlimited $$.00 I make a habit to point anyone who asks me about my vaping to my local B&M shop. Personally I shop both overseas and locally. For the impulse gotta have it now purchase my B&M can have my hard earned $$.00 I know for fact I could not be at my curent level of vaping had it not been for the internet and dirt cheap pricing from overseas. I have been vaping for about a year and I was very happy with my joytesh stated kit and cartos. since finding an overseas vendor I have bumped up to VV, dripping (various RDA), clearomizer both top coil and bottom coil. Tried many different flavors thanks to the price as well, (all juice ordered is nic free).

I have managed to get a few people off of the analogs, have two people waiting for me to take them to the local shop to see what is available for them to get into it. One person is fully commited after being out with me a few times and really want to transition from analogs, and has zero interest in a started kit. He will be getting a MVP and glassomizer based on my current setup.

Bottom line for me MiC has been a penny saver, also cosidering I can get what my local is not willing to invest and markup for profit (nothing wrong with it), for a fraction of the price. I will continue to buy from China or who ever has the better price.

All E-liq nic-ingredients come from other countries.
But I feel safer when its mixed here and not overseas.

How quickly we forget the Box Elder scandal. In case you are wondering, and popular US nic liquid supplier was found to have sold e-liquid at much higher nic levels then labeled a couple of years ago (you can look up old threads) -I had just bought 250 ml. from them, which I dumped. I remember they were located in Brigham City Utah, my Mother's family were all Mormons and I felt for sure I could trust a company located in Brigham City Utah.

I have not heard of a similar incident involving a Chinese supplier.

Good juice, too.
Then again, I also like me some Dekang.
I buy what I like, from vendors that I think do a good job.
Whether they're in a US lab, someone's basement, or a Chinese factory.
I'll often pay more for service or quality, and will sometimes throw a vendor an order out of loyalty - but I'll also often shop around for low prices, and try out a new vendor that's got a bargain on something I need.

I don't know if it's Cold War era thinking (at least in my case), also that's why research is important if you're going to choose a US based manufacturer. NicQuid manufactures all of their eliquid in an ISO Class 6 / FED STD 209E Class 1000 Clean Room, and are a member of AEMSA.

I only read the first page or so then jumped to the end. I've found Hangsen tobacco flavors are the cleanest and purest I have vaped. I think they are considered the world leader and their manufacturing site is state of the art. On the other hand I've heard the horror stories about Chinese manufacturing i.e. prefer 13 year old girl employees working 16 hour days, living at the manufacturing site. I don't know what the truth is. For several years I refused to shop at Walmart because they played an integral part in many Americans losing their jobs because the company they worked for moved to china. Walmart would tell the company we want your product at this price and the only way you can do that is move your manufacturing to china. The days when a company would make a product and sell it at the requested price to the store chain is over. Now The Big Box stores dictate the cost. I think often the product is not even considered bought by Big Box until it actually sales. If it doesn't sell there is no money exchange. The end result of all that is we have high unemployment while American companies are setting records on the stock market. If you're selling a product made in 2013 but only paying the workers wages equivalent to what someone made in 1913 you are bound to succeed. Ok I'm done and sure all my points can be argued.

Mormons are a money religion. You have to give them 10% of everything you make to be a member in good standing. That's gross not net. Mormons own many companies too. They also preach they are the only true religion and will be the only ones getting in to Heaven. I cant imagine that line of thinking. How would you live with yourself knowing billions of souls are suffering? What kind of God would that be? Look at how we feel about Hitler making so many suffer for a few years. How could a God make people suffer an eternity? I prefer this:
We'll raise our glass and drink a toast and the devil with dance with the holy ghost, the good and the wicked, the strong and frail will all join hands at the end of the world - Todd Rundgren

sorry if this is inappropriate for this forum

all join hands at the end of the world - Todd Rundgren

I think you're on to something there. You could found an entire religion with Todd Rundgren lyrics!!!!

- I just want to bang on a drum all day
- If it's stupid enough, it's cool
- Everybody's going to heaven, cause we've already been through hell
- How can I change the world when I can't change myself
- I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream lives on forever

Meh...Everything's made in China. get what you can for as cheap as you can and if its bad quality. Don;t buy it again. I research everything for weeks before I buy from ANYONE and i still get disappointed on occasion..doesn't matter where it comes from.

 

[peety1]

If you look at the labels on most products they are chinese.This does'nt make them bad infact most are quite good quality.

 

[Brusky]

the fact that a product is made in China does not necessitate the product being bad. It is the corporation that is overseeing the end product, that makes the difference. Its easy to point fingers, you just have to point the finger in the right direction.
