Raw material costs as well as the other costs. Yes, very competitive vape market. But really just curious on the cost to buy the raw materials and assemble the product.
Somebody made a mod mouthpiece with glass for their alternate. Might be posted in this thread several pages in. If you do some searching you might be able to find it.
This company needs to step their game up when it comes to construction.
Although the actual device produces great vapor for the price point, so I'm torn...
I just took the piece of clear rubber/silicone out of my V3 top cap to get a good vapor path.
My first alternate cracked after 3 weeks and they gave me a new one. After 5 weeks with my new warrantied Alternate, the piece above the battery where the top cap locks in is now developing...
That link on Puff it up showing the Alternate all opened up is legit! Good to know what is underneath the hood!

My Alternate mouthpiece gets super super hot even at a 392° sesh.
The clear rubber piece that wraps around this metal piece that sits inside the top cap. This new metal piece in the V3 top cap is not to be confused with the metal screw that holds the topcap pieces together.
I have photos of the rubber piece I am trying to describe on my phone, but I don't...
When you use the V3 top cap the way it is intended to be used, you do in fact hear a snap that doesn't sound good when locking and unlocking the top cap from the chamber. I removed the clear rubber piece and now it is fine.
I just received my new V3 top cap in the mail as well as a brand new Alternate unit altogether due to a crack that went from the base of the device to the micro usb bort as well. Just so happened that my warrantied device was sent in right around the time when the V3 top cap was released, so I...
