Amazing what they think they can get away with. They must be doing well though... has been around since before I started (a year a 4 months) and it looks like they have expanded their
tank and
mod lines.
They previously existed under another name. That brand got mercilessly trolled on the internet.
Then re-born under a new guise, there were new weapons in the marketing arsenal; namely offering large commission to review sites (and reviewers/bloggers) that also existed purely to take commission. They were also one of the brands that used a specialist media company (along with some other well-known labels) to begin a worldwide push aimed at entirely rigging the internet so new users ended up in the same places time and time again. At one point they offered the largest 'cut' of any e-cig brand.
I'm sure they are doing very, very well. It cannot last though, not in a true market economy.
There are now hundreds of fake review sites and fake reviewers who happily take commission money to recommend one of about 10-20 'rated' brands.
This is how a dozen people (quite well known in the UK) don't even have to work for a living, they just cream off commission for sales of these now-infamous brands.
I could live with this when there is transparency, but there is not. You take existing products, have the makers in China mess around with the appearance and then go to town ripping people off. What saddens me the most is that some of the 'movers and shakers' (supposedly) in the e-cig industry and not interested in the vaping movement, only the money they can make allowing people to be taken advantage of.
These movers and shakers don't turn up to vape meets or conventions, as they would not be welcomed.
E-cigs are about saving lives and the movement of people to protect their freedom to increase their heath and wealth prospects. Anyone working against that is not friend to vapers, only leeches on the growing vaping community.
So, there we have it. Most of the e-cig world is in for the right reasons. Those that aren't should be vilified to the max.
..and their products aren't R&D in the Mojave desert, Michigan or Minnesota. They are also not built by Americans in an American town with American values.
Its interesting how it's all developing, not always in a good way.
