Trapped in the Astral Planes Back from the dead
As of May 21 Indiegogo has changed there campaign terms of use. I won't copy it all. But, here is the bones of it. I would speculate it is due to the backlash from the grasshopper campaign. But I don't know that for certain.
Edit: it was brought to my attention that it was not the grasshopper, but the K-vape DX and the Evoke campaigns that prompted the changes.
