I use a buzz, kind of embarrassed to admit that with all the patent controversy. But I still love it @ 4 volts.
Nothing to be embarassed by.
Mom and Pop shops should be glad if he gets a patent, and work together to achieve even more of them as mutual stake-holders in a much bigger playing field. This one patent isn't going to give US mod makers much of a leg to stand on when the giants truly set sites on the USA e-cig market.
If anything...every mom and pop e-cig maker out there should find something to patent as well, and work together to build some stuff that once combined, will give 'US Made' a 'chance' when all hell breaks loose and the markets really start flooding. Together, all the start-ups can get a piece of the pie. In going after each other so early in the game...none of them are going to end up with squat, and the one or two patents held in the US over it all will be meaningless and worthless anyway.
Little dawgs attacking each other....the big dawgs just kick back, chuckle, and wait till the time is right to take what they want. Little dawgs working together, can become big dawgs
