First of all....extending the cartridge is not a good idea....the plastic does not contain the liquid. As far as hitting the liberty stick you are doing it wrong because i've been selling these things wholesale like hotcakes and i've gotten no complaints and the after cartridge last about 60-80 drags with the best juice on the market for sure.....american made! Go AMERICA!
Last time I checked we were ranked 15th worldwide in standard of living. Meaning right now on the scale of human development we are underneath Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Japan, Sweden, Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Norway, and #1. Iceland.
Not to mention that America has been controlled by the corporations since they gained massive power through privatized banks, and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Since the whole purpose of a corporation is to make money, regardless of the impact on human beings or the environment, all a corporation really cares about is making a dollar at the expense of the people (I.E. if a corporation makes a product that causes a pollution violation of 150 million dollars, but makes them 400 million dollars, they make 250 million profit. Whereas if they take the steps to decrease or eliminate pollution it will cost 200 million in prevention costs to make 400 million... losing them 50 million dollars compared to the alternative... polluting). Being they have no agenda but making money, just because something is made in America doesn't mean it's the greatest, it could just as easily be a cheap product manufactured under fancy packaging claiming to be the best. The same thing holds true for Japan, or any other industrialized nation involving a business.
Therefore it essentially comes down to the moral conviction and honor-ability of the supplier itself, not the country that supplier resides in. I have had excellent results with Indonesian companies, and terrible results with American companies... and of course, vice-versa.
Ok... well that was my rant, lol.
I really want to see a completely custom cartridge that can hold 2ml.... that would be absolutely fantastic.
Maybe even a cartridge with a liquid reservoir and a push button for dripping while still attached to the atomizer
