For the love of god, don't compare this to a G Pen.

Why not? Aren't such comparisons of offerings in the market the very basis of Capitalism? Seems to me like perhaps you're advocating something less?

I didn't know my tongue in cheek comment would spark a political debate! That being said, capitalism in today's world is becoming quickly outmoded. BTW, have you ever been to Denmark? It's truly a socialist Eden.

So you weren't serious? That's much better, thanks.

FWIW, I don't consider Capitalism outmoded as much as under pressure. Which is healthy usually. I for one celebrate the assortment of vapes the system provides us to choose from in the marketplace. The very fact that there is a G pen and this new offering from D9 to pick from is a testament to Capitalism in whatever shape it is. It is the lure of the profit motive that prompted G pen to enter the market at all, and what no doubt keeps G and company coming up with the keen stuff we enjoy to stay in front in a competitive game instead of kicking back.

You can keep the socialist systems, they seem to innovate little and import much. Let them continue to copy us?

Thanks again for clearing it up.

I'm sorry, I don't follow here at all. What is "smh"?

How is what working out? I see Capitalism as providing us wide choices in the market for us all to pick from, is that what you're talking about?

I believe capitalism is possible without plutocracy, just as those who would defend socialism would suggest in response to claims that the largest socialistic societies in history are proof of its inviability...

I think you mean communist societies. Not socialist.

Yes that would be more accurate in describing the failed societies I'm speaking of, however communism does involve socialistic ideals and the distinction doesn't negate my point that it is folly to judge capitalism by the crimes of those in power.

SMH stands for "shaking my head."

That being said, a true communist society is ideal for the majority, however it is also the most impossible society to maintain given human nature.

The market dictates the products that get put out.
In this case similar design to most pen atomizers other than the ceramic.
The market is flooded with these type of devices, so its only makes sense for most to jump on the bandwagon, profit wise it makes sense.
Interesting discussion
