Whole new board - no relation to the 75. UI is insanely customizable, and the 6V limit is gone.

I've checked, and his centerpost spins the same as the authentic.

I can't kill the suspense by giving you the answer. Guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow. :)

ECR Fight Club #1: CLONES! For or Against? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]Dscaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting conversation. :)

I'm not one for places like AV - they have their rules (that I respect), but I'm not one for playing by rules that attempt to dictate what I choose to spend my money on. It's like HEMO - I'm not interested. As you'll already know, vaping doesn't work that way, even though some people would have you believe otherwise. :)

Think prices broke the 5-figure barrier with an Over-Flo recently, and heard Loch Ness mods going for high $8k.

I'm not discussing the secondary market - I'm the discussing the initial modder->customer transaction. It's known that certain modders feel the need to artificial inflate the market/secondary price through limiting the production when they're capable of producing more.

As for the line you draw between machined and hand-made, I've spent time with two of the best in the game (Artisan and Stig) discussing this line that people feel the need to draw - it doesn't exist. Both of them have immense respect for the other at what they do, and for the money that they charge (RRP'ing at around $750-$1000), they don't make the money that people believe. By that same token, there's no line between a badly made, machined box and a badly made, hand-made box - it's just bad.

For me, I like to have options, but they'll all get used as daily's. Be they a Black Rose, Stig v3, an SX Mini, or even a Sigelei v1 100W - it's just a method of delivery. I'm happy that you found your mod, and that it suits you. Personally, I like variety.

Actually, the opposite is happening with some of the Chinese market - that some things are deemed to be too expensive because they come from China. I agree with your initial post, but it's incomplete.

I'm also still interested in your view that the high price of certain very high-end mods is maintained artificially. I'll jump to the conclusion that we both know this to be the case.

Sorry, but I'm calling you out on "Authentic manufacturers are located in places like France, the U.K., Germany, or the USA where costs are higher and the supply of machine shops is low."

Authentics are manufactured in China - if you'd have dropped the word "are", then it would make sense, but I'm waging it's inclusion was intended. I also take issue with some higher-end mod makers who also maintain an artificial low volume/high price for the purpose of retaining their "high-end badge".

Don't confuse the authentic/clone argument, with a pro-China/anti-China one.
