Actually the first E-cig was patent in the USA ;) Hon Lik took it to the next level

Many people forget this little fact, and for anyone wondering if it is true

VMAX (with more power) vs. Provari for at least half the price. Pure performance based not "looks." Although my SS Max looks pretty damn good. Bolt w/Kick vs. Silver Bullet w/Kick, half price again................

I won't say everything from china is junk, or that everything from the us is better, but the SB is simply a much better made pv.

Provari is made in the USA, I don't know if anything else is. People love the Provari because it's the highest quality device on the market. Yes, it's more expensive, but they sand behind it, and it can be repaired while most all other devices are thrown in the trash when they fail.

I find it interesting that Capitalist countries rely on a Communist one to maintain capitalist profit margins.

By the way are any ecig hardware made in North America?

Id buy american regardless of the price if the stuff was in stock and i didn't have to jump through hoops to get one. Still waiting on Darwins, SGT VV, zen stuff, etc etc. if i have to get on a waiting list, or something similar ill go an alternate route. Im WAY too busy to sit and constantly refresh a screen to have a chance to buy a limited supply of something.

Id really like to try a bell RBA, before the ZMAX i was ready and willing to buy a Darwin, etc etc. fix the end point sales and supply and im positive people would buy more american made stuff even if it costs more.

The Reo, Zen, iHybrid, the Silver Bullet and the BB are all US made just to name the ones I know off the top of my head.

Thanks NancyR, and HERBERT A. GILBERT says: "THANKS FOR REMEMBERING WHO WAS FIRST. FUNNY, I FIND MYSELF ALL OVER GOOGLE FOR SOMETHING I DID MANY YEARS AGO...FAMOUS AT 81!" March 26, 2012
Herbert must have only been 31, give or take.




Wow old thread memories lol.
Thats what is nice about ECF, old memories for some, new knowledge for others. And what you say is recorded for a long time.

I find it interesting that Capitalist countries rely on a Communist one to maintain capitalist profit margins.

And thats the sad part for me. Just in my 55 years the USA went from making almost everything and selling it to the rest of the world.....and we all know the rest of the story.

Wow old thread memories lol.

Where's my brother Zoid? Haven't seen him in a while.

I've been laying low. Trying to get over the Crushing Emotional Lose of breaking up with my Girlfriend.

We were arguing and in my anger, I lashed out and said she had Stubby Fingers. I guess I just didn't perceive how Upset some people can get when the Size of Someone's Fingers is mentioned.

Oh well... Que Sera Sera

How you been doing?

Look around you the fact we have less and less manufacturing jobs is partially from your attitude. Also from our politicians selling out our future to corporate America for profits. You can shrug you shoulders, be self absorbed live with all the denial, and justification but please do not say you are a proud American followed by a but then telling us why you chose to continue to turn you back at a time when your help is needed!

Here's a different perspective, I'm Australian and down here in Oz it's just more practical to buy from China (well, we are a part of Asia) just because of the whole "PayPal thing". On the whole we would love to buy American e cig gear from the states ( the Aussie dollar makes this workable ) but for me to get a credit card just for that is not going to happen ( never had one and never will) , I end up buying more from Europe instead , and its a shame, we have some strong ties to you yanks in our shared history ( "yanks" used as a positive term not a negative in this context) and I ( and others)would prefere to buy my juice from the states but until Paypal changes I will be buying from china and Europe.

I buy the quality I want. If you want a mercedes or a BMW, go for it. I'll keep my F150, not because it's a Ford or an All-American attitude, but because I like the quality. I have tried both Chinese and American Vaping equipment and e-juices, and I prefer the stuff I get here in America. Nothing political about it, I just want my money's worth. I personally have had better experiences and find better quality from ROES Mods, Joyetech and HHV than I ever found from overseas.

It's personal for me. I have a lot of overseas products don't get me wrong. But after spending over half my life in a factory and then having my job taken by them and loosing all my retirement benifits and health insurance, I just have no respect for them. If the product looks good and pleases me then I buy it. Will I ever give credit to them NO. I ride a German made bike. I drive an American made car. I vape on what ever works for me. The USA tobacco companies are the ones with all the money. If I could find swedish snus locally I would buy it. Look at the stats. They don't care about people and we do. Case closed for me.
