But not the batteries, chargers, or most of the juice delivery systems needed for them.
Maybe not on the batteries and chargers. But as there are american made rebuildables that work on almost anything and do work on the american made mods, then if someone uses a juice delivery system from china it is because of personal taste not because *none* are made here.
I have only seen Genesis style atomizers built here, all the other RBA's I've seen are made elsewhere, usually China, Greece, etc.
All standard attys,cartos, and clearos are made in China AFAIK.

Elsewhere yes! But on par with the Quality from Greece, China - NO WAY!
And even while you're at it you can throw Russia and England in there too.
What the Russians are doing is pretty Slick and they have an Awesome Braint-Trust when it comes to doodads like PVs.

Yes, but I'm not comparing quality, just pointing out that these things aren't being made here in the U.S.A.
Can't leave out Hungary, as the NGP's have a decent following as well.
True technically SOME things are made here in the US, but everyday bulk comes from elsewhere. You've gotta look at the big picture, the market leaders are in not in the US..

One solid reason to stick with US manufacturers is for any repairs or warranty issues. Much cheaper and easier to send it nationally than internationally.
But as with most everything us Americans buy, China and other cheap production countries are the backbone. I wouldn't be surprised if, say, IMR batteries could be made from US resources but they would probably double in cost at least.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I am a proud American, and am always proud of quality American made products, I'm just stating my opinion on what I perceive and how I see things to be. The world has much bigger issues than where e-cigarettes are made, this just is what it is..

I am not saying that lead paint doesn't hurt kids, or animals, or adults. I'm saying if you're going to be anti-lead paint, then you might as well be anti-automobile, oil, factories, and about every piece of food you ever feed your kid. You would have to get rid of about everything in this world to try and take away all sicknesses. And then they would still get eaten by a lion or something anyway because they're small. And as far as trying to eliminate having anything Chinese in your life? Haha. You better give up your car, cell phone, the computer you are using to read this, and anything else electrical or mechanical in your house and life and live like a caveman. And hope that your nieghbor does the same, and his nieghbor, and so on. Good luck with that. Sorry, but your little e cig purchases will make no difference in this world already set in motion.
NOt ONLY electric, machanical or electronic. Practically every consumable in your life. If one had to go around the home and source every single item of clothing and footwear, intimate wear and outerwear in the wardrobes, and all big and small items from bedrooms, bathrooms, study, kitchen, cupboards, kids toy box, garage, basement, garden shed, patio, fixtures and electrical fittings, wiring, plumbing, paint, tools, screws etc. etc........
It may come as a rather nasty surprise as to the origin of EVERYTHING you own, wear and consume, and what percentage is actually locally made and or American manufactured in it's entirety.
But hey, whatever makes people happy. If people want to buy their Chinese ecigs from a USA vendor/middleman and pretend they are buying AMERICAN and making a difference, and it makes them happy. Then everyone is happy (including the Chinese and of course the vendor/importer).
It's not "pretending" they are making a difference. It DOES make a difference. If I can feed a fellow American vendor/manufacturer my dollars, it helps my fellow American feed their family. You live in Tokyo, so maybe you don't give a rats patootie about Americans, but Americans should give a darn. I would rather purchase locally, as well, so it helps my local economy. We need to take care for our own economy first.
No need to get insulting and personal. Just stating the facts.
ROFL, I love this word, Patootie! I have tried saying it in all sorts of accents, scots, irish, welsh, various american, afrikaans, australian, german, greek, italian, indian, I like Indian best. Pa toot e - Found my word for the day. Thanks Buggs.
Most hardware is made in China or some other country in east Asia. I don't mind it. I often buy from suppliers here because I hate the overseas shipping rates, time, customs, etc.
I also like to support small American businesses when I can. Nothing wrong with that.

Hehe... Meli, have you escaped from the 'angry thread'? I think it sounds more interesting pronounced the JAPANESE way.
The other ways make me thing of a spicy potato roti (pronounced rootie), but hey, that could be Japanese too; since they love to join two words and make a whole new one.
Some examples of portmanteau words:
Sekusuhara (something that you can be charged with by making lewd comments to the pretty young thing in your office)
Pasukon (personal computer)
Lolikon (Lolita complex)
Pokemon (pocket monster)
Karaoke (Kara- empty in Japanese and orchestra)
Konbini (convenience store)
Eakon (air conditioner)
Remokon (remote control)
Kareraisu (curry and rice)
Anime (animation)
And a NEW word by ME.......
Patuti (potato roti)

Wow. Well, I am worse than Dragonbone then. Cause I do live in america and really don't care a rats patootie (my spell check is going nuts) more about americans than anybody else. americans are not gODS of this world. But anyway, you also mentioned "doing nothing" ALSO doesn't amount to anything. Which cancels out doing anything then? So we're back where I started from.
Here is my personal take on all of this.
I don't care where in the world you live, you take care of your family and friends first, then your neighbors, and so on. I am not trying to say we shouldn't help those in other countries, but no one can help a neighbor if they can't take care of those in their own house. Same goes for other countries.
I personally don't care if someone wants to buy from china or not. Yes, people can save a couple dollars by buying from there directly, but if you buy everything directly from there you don't know who you may hurt. This is true anywhere in the world.
With the economy like it is around the world right now, people need to work together.
