Why Do People Knowingly Buy Clones?

[Darryl Licht]

Yes I'm not white and no I'm not 18 but anyways sticks and stone nice try [emoji1]

I never said you were (or were not) a specific race... there are plenty of "white" non-native English speakers like immigrants from Europe?

Being that you have publicly admitted you are not yet 18, I don't think you are supposed to be posting in a forum for products which require you to be 18 to purchase!

I just said I'm not 18 that doesn't mean I'm under 18 lol I guess you just like to be judgemental

LOL... based on your adolescent text-ese style of posts and your nearly incomprehensible style you make it easy to assume by not being clear or specific.

I said you must be under 18, then you replied "I'm not 18". Most here would assume that meant you're under 18.

Sorry, I thought you were a teenage troll! But you really ought to not use text-ese on public forums: u instead of you, lack of upper and lower case, lack of punctuation... most will assume you to be a teenager!

I just think does who can, will buy it and does who can't will buy clone

Clone or not clone?

In my opinion, there are some products, originals that satisfy the customer like the same money cost object clones....

If i buy a K4 I spend 150€, (yes euros i'm italian) if i buy a clone 30€. But the clone don't copy only the pieces, the functionalities, but also logos, and not only in the atom but mistify the packaging with the same box, logos and, as a joke, the originality logos on the box firmly closing the same....

I'm waiting cloning the USA products and the box, in the box there is the write "proudly made in USA" and in the bottom of the atom Made in USA, this practice is not a simply uncorrect, is mistification, no, it seem a joke....

Look man, your rhetoric is demeaning. These are not English forums, they are vaping forums. And everything that the poster stated was perfectly understandable. If any one is acting like an adolescent, it is you, by criticizing everyone else that doesn't vape using the products you do, or doesn't talk the way that you do, or comes from a different place than you. Just relax. Everyone on these forums is here because they are interested in the same pastime as you. I'm not sure why there is a need to pick at them.

I get the distinction, but the bottom line is if everyone's openly buying and selling clones without any laws telling them they can't, it's going to happen, and making it your personal mission telling people they should feel guilty for buying them is kind of pathetic.

So it's pathetic to point out that it's wrong to buy things from thieves and liars?

This!

This is exactly why I won't buy authentics!
$200 for a soft metal tube and a horn switch?( It's a flashlight!
You didn't invent the wheel.)
Facebook only sales?
Hyped to no end and zero inventory?
I agree 100%. Avoid liars and thieves.....and amateurs looking for a fast buck.

Is anyone in this thread still posting to try and be helpful? Seems whichever opinion, everything has devolved to responding to a feeling of personal threat.

THANK GOODNESS there are different people - I would hate to run into ME at every Turn

The second we all become just alike we Become - CLONES

I don't care if they copy a non trademarked logo, if you don't want it copied, do what the rest of the world of manufacturing does and trademark it. I do take issue with the cloners that put "made in" falsely though.
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

I cant speak for others but I know often times authentic attys sell out fast. I own authentic attys and they are not worth sometimes even as much as 10 times what you can get the clones for. All of my 10 or 15 dollar clones perform the same as there authentic counterpart. They may have a tiny bur or something but they may also be the exact same. I placed an order and got three mechs and five more attys for $102 shipped. I have paid more then $102 for ONE of my authentic drippers. If I love a dripper so much and think its innovative or whatever I will support the original producer and get the authentic. I kind of think your foolish to pay ten times what you have to for the exact same product. I have switched numerous authentic attys out for there clone counterpart when my wife left the room. They have the same build and often times she doesnt even know and she is a highly experienced mech mod user who owns around 5k in authentic mech mods and drippers. She is now on the clone wagon for the same reason. She would rather 5 attys and a few matching mechs for 150 then one authentic dripper for the same price.

Why is the acceptance of counterfeits to common in the vaping world? The same people probably don't but counterfeit clothes or shoes...Maybe some need dozens of mods and attys because they can't find the perfect vape with counterfeits...

It's been explained to you a hundred times already. Cost. No one sells cloned Nike's for $5. If they did I'd be all over that $hyt too... so your analogy is flawed.

 

[Rossum]

That's because Nike is big enough to pay all the legal fees and graft necessary to protect their trademarks and other IP. Of course, you CAN buy no-name sneakers for a whole lot less.

Good thing for all the authentic Nike faithful. Otherwise they'd have to spend their lives on forums admonishing my $5 Nikes.

Many criminals sleep the same way! It's called a lack of conscience! LOL!
