The Chatroom

[free3dom]

After having hijacked quite a few threads, I've come to realize it would be best to have a dedicated thread for chatting about any and everything - just carrying on any random conversation without the need to create or find a relevant thread.

This way, once a thread heads in some "hijacky" direction we can just point to this thread and say, let's continue this conversation over here.

So let's get chatting...the sky's the limit....let it all out

Brilliant

 

[free3dom]

Ahhhh...guilt-free posting of random crap...how lovely

In relation to the awesome line of conversation in the "formerly hijacked thread"...windows mods would scare the crap out of me...just think of getting a virus on it

lock up while your mid vape.

Noooooo...all worked up and no clouds

 

[free3dom]

It could be called the "Evod" virus

or Blue screen when you switch it on... no vape until you rebuild. Or you get that stupid update that makes it incompatible with your coil

The scary part is that this is not even that far fetched...I can totally see this happening

I know right. can you imagine that the freezing up on a 0.5 ohm coil

 

[free3dom]

That's a serious dry hit

 

[n0ugh7_zw]

0.5 is comparatively harmless. more like 0.15 and lower, thats where the danger level really kicks up a few notches.

Indeed...0.5 is so last month

They put those in clearomizers now

I think that there is a common agreement that for now we should leave vaping software to the Chinese and not Microsoft.

Said someone for the very first time EVER!

It was bound to happen

The Chinese for the most part are kinda copying what has been pioneered in the west. check out all the hana clones, those are copies of a board, that was designed, manufactured and programmed in the USA.

The innovation for the most part comes from the west. slowly thats starting to change, with Chinese companies, making their own authentic stuff. But even then, they are effective taking ideas from different non-chinese devices and mixing them together.

There are a couple products that stand legitimately on their own 2 feet.

SMY God Mod
SMY 260W
eLeaf iStick
Infinite/SXK CLT (CLT2, CLT3)

Things of that nature. Once the Chinese have been through a few more generations of product design, and the resulting feedback from the market. The Western companies are going to be in seriously deep s***

Absolutely...they slowly started tweaking the copies, and soon they will have created something unique. It's about time too

 

[Arthster]

one market in particular that is in for a big wake up call is the automobile industry. the first bunch of Chinese cars where "clones" but the chinese are very fast building some very awesome and reliable cars. the GWM bakkies being one of them. I have seen these 1 toners being used as 5 toners and doing it daily without a problem.

 

[free3dom]

The very fact that China (not the West) pioneered the first commercially successful PVs is actually quite surprising. And maybe a teeny bit disturbing

 

[n0ugh7_zw]

Once they come into it. They'll put a lot of the western based companies, right out of business.

I think what it'll boil down to is, 95% of all devices (mods, RDA's, etc...) will come from China. The rest of the vaping world, will make money from juices.

 

[free3dom]

Absolutely, and since they manufacture everything themselves they can keep the costs down so it's a win for us vapers

 

[n0ugh7_zw]

It's not really disturbing. It was inevitable.

The companies there, are so much bigger than the western ones that do all the R&D and make authentic pieces. Because of their greater size, then can chuck out 5000 or 10000 units, without batting an eyelid, and because their cost of production is so low, then can constantly tweak and change the templates, as they go. So for them to say that 10000 or 15000 units will be made and released as a test batch, is really not much skin off of their noses.
