The SSV links you provide(one did not work) state that its made the in the USA. Because it is.
1. Falsely says Made in USA in the graph Look at the top of the Graph: http://si mpare.html
Nothing False about it. It is made in the USA. Further, on the FAQ's page, yes we state that its not *100%* percent made in the USA, but only due to foreign parts. I think people have a clear understanding of this. We all work very hard(here in CO) to produce this product.
Let me describe the process of the
SSV production to clear this up.
-The Aluminum housings and base plates are not[ produced in the USA We receive the cut metal raw.
-We then send it to our powdercoat(located in Colorado Springs)
-Its then returned, and we begin assembly. Again, parts are domestic and foreign. Powercord, heater element, dimmer switch, light all assembled herein the factory. I can provide photos for proof if you require.
-Glass is blown here in Colorado Springs, about two miles from the Vape warehouse. The raw glass is sourced from Europe, Asia, and the US.
-The truck that we transport the glass with is a Ford, US made, but from foreign and domestic parts I believe.
-The laser engraving is done here in our warehouse in Colorado Springs.
-Finishing, Testing, packaging, again, Colorado springs.
-Our new Wave Rider Series, where you can put any image or design on a SSV, is done here in Colorado.
I do not know where the power cord or dimmer light factories are, but for arguments sake, lets consider those "foreign parts". I am not sure where the aluminum for housing, nor copper for the wires, is mined.
Now, if your argument on the SSV is that we don't produce every single element of the product, (including mining the ore?) then we can't say its 100% made in the USA, well, I can't help you with that. I think if you look at the above process, its pretty obvious the vape is made here. If you are under the impression that we get the SSV from China, slap a knob on it, and call it Made in USA, nothing could be further from the truth.
DBV
Some of DBV's are partially assembled in China by our factory. We get them, disassemble them, inspect them, add the needed finishing parts, then test it here in Colorado. Glass is made here as well. However, there are some DBV's that are built in the exact same manner as the SSV, all here in Colorado Springs, however with the aforementioned F&D Parts.
LSV...Again, like DBV, are partially assembled in China by our factory. We make the glass here. We do the engraving here, all customization, finishing and testing.
Our Dime Bags that protect our investments, are produced in China. Our designs, and materials that we created, but yes, produced in China.
You are correct, the DBV site had it completely wrong. I have built three new sites in the last two months, and I missed this. I was not lying, not trying to fool anyone. I glossed over it. I have made the changes, and I do thank you personally for bringing it to my attention. The site is a new layout, and that error has existed for a maximum of four weeks.
We are humans, we(I) make mistakes. Its not false advertising if we state everything on our products, on the powercord, in the manual, and all but one website...which again, had a mistake on it. We are not lying on the SSV site.
No way.
As always let me know if you need any further clarification on anything.
