I wish I wasn't reminded so often that half the stuff we buy and use might not be what it's supposed to be and so many 'trusted vendors' and manufacturers of this stuff are in reality shady as fuck.
We have batteries that aren't what they are supposed to be, wire that isn't what it's supposed to be, cotton that isn't what it's claimed to be, chargers that are fake as fuck with the sketchiest plugs I've ever seen sold in the UK, mods that don't put the wattage out that is claimed, stuff 'in stock' that isn't even in the country. Shops selling whatever that can to people, even if it's totally useless for them. Liquids with the wrong level of nicotine. Fake shit everywhere with screws made of cheese, mods with 510's that spin round and fall out and companies that will say any old bullshit to make a sale. IP thief and packaging for 10 year olds.
This industry needs to get a grip, too many bad guys making the good guys look bad.
