I buy clones for several reasons.
1. RETAIL MARK-UP , there is no real benefit to buying Authentic made mods other than supporting people that charge you however much they think its okay to charge for the mod ON TOP of operating costs. I'd rather pay china, directly, because think about it, ~20-30$ for a mod on fasttech, you see same mod for 50-70$ at a brick and mortar.
2. Hypocrisy, there are authentic manufacturers out there that also run B&M shops or online retail commerce, They ..... about people cloning their stuff but what do have in their product line? You betcha clones.
3. Unreliable customer service, both authentic and clone manufacturers can have ....ty customer service and bad QC so why should I take a multi-hundred dollar chance on a mod rather than spend 20$ replaceable mod?
4. China makes "Authentic" mods now that are VERY, VERY affordable and of extremely high quality, why should I buy from authentic makers that charge way more?
5. I thought the whole point of vaping was to make products that swap you over from smoking to a safer alternative? Not make ....LOADS of money like the big tobacco companies, no it all about money$$$$$$$$$$$, think about it, think about how much you pay for a 30ML bottle of EJuice, when you can make that .... yourself (Admittedly not as good as some but really is it worth $22 for a bottle of EJuice that costs less than .50c to make?). I get it R&D that goes with Ejuice testing whatever.
So no I don't buy EXPENSIVE authentics because why? 200$ for 1 mod or 200$ for 5-10.
I made my choice and I don't feel bad about it.
