First let me start off by saying I am not trying to start anything. I am just curious and want your guys perspective on the issue.
I really like the dab essentials domeless nail. http://www.dabessentials.com/
But the price tag seems a little steep to merit purchasing one. However, while browsing around I found this one nail called the dabhard nail I believe. I guess it's essentially a knockoff, but for a just cause. (or so it seems) The guy repping them was saying that he believed dabessentials was marking up their product way to much, and at $160 for their 18mm domeless, I can see how that could be true. So they make a nail very similar to the dabessentials nail that is still grade 2 titanium for $60 bucks.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am all for paying for something if it is worth it, but my question is, is it worth it? And I'm speaking purely on a health, functionality, and risk of breaking my piece perspective, not the "oh you should buy the dabessentials nail because infringing on a patent blah blah blah." Yeah, I agree it's wrong to do that, but competition is what drives the price to a fair value.
So guys input?
P.S. The nail I've been dabbing off of was sold with a nice bubbler and dome for 120 bucks if I remember. The bubbler was worth around 60 - 70, so that really makes me question what I'm smoking on now.
