You gotta give them enough time to get their point acrossMe either! I mean after all it's just a metal tube with a battery, a button, and an atty! LOL

Sometimes it takes a long time for those who knowingly buy counterfeits and contribute to theft to convince themselves it is ok...
I guess we should all go to CA it's kinda like AA but for ppl who are addicted to their money I mean clones
It's a moral not legal issue. Nobody's been arrested for receiving stolen property
I can understand someone making the choice to only buy authentic products because of whatever personal reason they have. Whether they feel cloning = theft, they believe it's a superior product, etc. What I don't understand is why some people seem to actually be offended that other people disagree with those reasons and make a choice to buy cloned products. Does it affect you in any way? It just comes off as sour grapes. "I spent $180 on this atty/mod and this person only had to spend $18! No fair!" Is that always the case? Of course not. I don't personally know any of the pro-authentic people and I'm not going to pretend to know what's going on in their heads. But this is how a lot of them come across to me. Just throwing that out there.
No not at all! I sleep well at night buying both quality authentic and cloned products. Like someone already said and it may be sad, the product coming out a China is supporting the industry because some of the authentic manufacturers don't produce enough inventory to support the masses.
Authentic or clone my goal is to buy available products to keep me from smoking. There is a group that appear to want to push the values on others, get all high and mighty. Personally I could care less if they buy clones as long as they stay off smokes and stick it to BT.
You guys should just get off your soap box and leave the rest of these nice folks alone.
Seems like if the Price was the Same for the Clone as it was for the Genuine that the Moral High Ground would be a Little Higher.
Steve, respectfully that's just BS. Others have posted their thoughts and you simply pass by those because they don't support your argument.
I'm not taking a jab but it's selective reading on your part if you only think it's about money. And just a thought, for some, the one's that don't buy new gear all the time, they really do save money getting off smokes. Whatever their rational it's really nobody else's business but their own and they get attacked for getting off of smokes.
You guys fight about this crap all the time, it makes us look like fools.
End game and ultimate goal..... no smokes and screw BT! Nobody should care how someone reaches that goal.
and I still dont own a Provape or SM.... but I do have original SVD and RSST.... and HCigar KF3.1...( which is built better than the real KF3.1)
The 510 is a repurposed coax connection. Wow, you don't know what design is, either...
the BNC connector would have been so much nicer
I don't reply to those who can't have a rational discussion...
There are plenty of alternatives to counterfeits, like the Kanger SubTank...
the BNC connector would have been so much nicer
I would like something like a Mag Safe connector...closed system, magnetic, no broken connectors...
looks like my repourposed Panzer
so... they took a Panzer and made it into a flashlight... thats got to be one good flashlite
but theft is ok.... the makers of the "original" equipment think its ok....
I don't think that vaping to get of smokes is about saving money. At least not in my case. I end up buying almost everything new that i see. I spend a lot more than I would have spent on smokes. Money should not be the issue. Living a longer and healthier life is priceless.

You mean the pro-authentic. I buy clones because I can't justify spending $200 (average for a mod) on just a tube that is supposed to save me money and keep me off smoking. And that's just a mod. Another $100 for a topper is outrageous. Yes there are cheaper authentic mods but my purpose was to save money instead of smoking. So really it's just whatever keeps you off smoking.
Just like all authentic equipment is not high quality nor worth the expense; not all authentic equipment makers have come up with their own design, either... Payback if they rip off China, however...
