^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^ is what I think of EVERY time I hear an outraged vape elitist go on a rant about cloned mods, which are all essentially cloned flashlights, or cell phones, mp3 players and other small electronic devices. Hmm, maybe pen collector's should start an outrage over ego's and similar pen vapes, or Apple over the Variant and the other cheaper similar looking device that's come out. Give me a break! So what about Dees Vapor mods, were they before or after Zero?? If after, was there an outrage over it's very similar looks, if not, then the Zero clone police need to stfu, the damn hypocrites! In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter to me.
Yes, I prefer and purchase authentics, but have also received clones in Vapebox, trades and a few times early on purchased some on Fasttech. I wish "clones" didn't carry the same logo's, and were better quality, more consistent and safe and I wish more authentic were valued closer to what they really are worth. I have a clone, the gold plated FUhattan, just because of how Ameravape acted like such a tool AND because I figured it would be beastly given it's composition and configuration and it was only $45. I was disappointed that I didn't get the box that was first promised on the second run, half the reason why I purchased it also, but I didn't get all bent either. I was downright blown away at the quality and performance of it! It is right up there with my hardest hitting and high quality copper rig mod! I've also had expensive authentic vape gear that is garbage. These people worry too much about what others put in their mouth!
It reminds me of recent comments twisted by John Grisham and the people who said they were now going to boycott his work. It must be nice to have such morals if he had truly been guilty of what they accused, but then why stop there, you'd have to exclude over half of all actors, artist, performers, etc., if you're truly outraged by abhorrent behavior! It's good to have morals and beliefs, I certainly do, but this is not a matter that is black and white IMO, lose the logo's and they don't really have a leg to stand on! One of the most unique mods out there, the ZNA30 made by Zen, which has been cloned. If HE can accept and embrace the inevitable, why can't they ALL, or at least be respectful and tolertant!
Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into the tired "clones vs. authentics", it always seems to happen though in threads like these. His words hit me the wrong way and I'd thought others would be interested to hear of it. I voluntarily left the group, I swear these people think it's a privilege for people to grace their presence, and there's actually "vape celebrities" LMFAO!
