As a reasonable person, I think this is NOT a minor issue.
Look, people are spending their HARD EARNED money on this junk. Every box that leaves China, has a Q.C. tag in it. It's nothing but a LIE. People are being scammed and taken.
How about we look at the issues that lay at the heart of this.
1 Buyers are being used as beta testers, while being sold something under the assumption it's a good product.
2 Q.C. is absolutely horrible over there. You think I'm a stranger to the Q.C. issues? Honey, I have spend a decade fabricating. And some of that time, was working with more JUNK coming from China.
3 We are being told LOTS of mis-information when this junk hits the market. We are being OPENLY scammed. Prime example, there exists a thread here abouts, with the new SMY box. It sure LOOKS like an totally unregulated box mod to me, with a stupid pic of Brue Lee on it. But we got a SMY person, talking about ALL these built in niceities, that don't exist according to the pictures of the product.
4 These products are being created by other vapers? I highly doubt MOST of these factories and developers are vapers too. Some are, but I doubt MOST are. So maybe we should have the counter guy at McDonalds, make harnesses for skydivers too. I'm sure that will work out too.
We are spending our hard earned money. We aren't gifted these. I learned at a young age, the value of a dollar, and the importance of spending wisely. Truth in advertising goes a LONG WAY to making an informed decision. Truth in advertising that the Chinese manufactures seem to be totally lost on.
To some, this is chump change. To others, they saved a long time to be able to have something like this. There is no excuse to scam people. It's plain theft when you don't deliver what you promised.
