Yeah I mean the price point isn't bad but compared to let's say a doge or a mutation x at 35 both in boxes seems kinda lame that they didn't just include the packaging it came in. Presentation is everything in a customer service type job.

For sure, I have 3 authentic Mutation X's, 1 v2, 2 Project Sub Ohm V3's. They came with boxes and manuals, but they are China made, just American designed... Kinda like Apple products, lol. Don't know why buy a Mutation clone when they're so cheap. Anyway, I think Joe hit the nail on the head. Some Authentic's just don't have elaborate packaging. Vendors aren't gonna ship with more than the item arrives in, or then you'd definitely pay a premium.
We expect it from what we get with clones, ironically. Again, I see it as any dollar saved in production has at least a possibility to save the consumer a dollar in purchasing. I do know that had I not known about the Vanilla prior to ordering it, being Saran Wrap and bubble wrap, with scotch tape on it with the serial # I would've been concerned about it's authenticity. It came in good shape, pretty much flawless, so I was pleased.
I keep all my boxes, not just for the spare parts, a bit of hoarding. The one box I do love is my FuHattan, it's funny as shit.
How is that new mod btw? They look nice, I've never tried a Tugboat atty, but I've heard good things.
