hcigar mods and other clones

Same here M8, although not original if well made would still be a thing of beauty

Agree I do want one, is it wrong its a total clone, maybe? Will it affect sales of the real deal, I doubt it

It won't affect sales of the original whit and when I buy the clones I don't think I'm going to buy a clone I just think to my self I'm buying a mod that I like & looks good

EDIT to be fair they should not do full on clones its OK I suppose to use inspiration but full on is taking the piss but I will still buy one lmao.

Nope it won't but this one sort of crosses the line with the mod makers name etc

 

[whit77]

Yes and No, if they are using the name but promoting it as a clone I don't really see a problem, High St shops sell prints of original paintings,water colours etc, the problem is when dodgy manufacturers try to pass it off as the real thing imo. And agree I don't think it will affect sales of the real thing, if anything I think it will help future sales because like me many peeps cannot afford the real thing now but love the look, they will buy this and then lust over owning a real one because they know they only have a copy, then when they can afford will buy the real deal, just my thoughts

It's not the cost so much its availability, smoking cigs costs a fortune, maybe these clones are aimed at the ex no duty paid rollie smokers hehe

You all have to keep in mind too...not all vapers have cushy bank accounts either...I for one live on a very very tight budget that supports 5 people.

But I still want nice-ish gear....so if have to sacrifice a range rover for a Nissan pathfinder...than I will....oh lol both of which are clones of jeeps (1945) adapted for civilian use and rovers are the first car company to copy jeep to make n SUV ....random fact of the day lol


I do not support clones or copies being identified by the original names..and I fully feel vendors should be the ones responsible for identifying that an item is not the original if its not.

Lmao yes if you buy cheap rolling tobacco. There's a poliski shop near me sells 50g GV £3.50 the pouch is clearly a clone lmao.
