lol, at 0:15 someone is literally testing the vapes with their mouth. I hope they don't do that all day long

Later at 6:45 they show more people testing them

It’s hard to know for sure what’s acceptable when it comes to working conditions in China. The information we get is incredibly limited. Most of what makes it through is propaganda.

That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does it all day long, 6 days per week.

They are, there's a video on YouTube you can find where they interview someone with that job and they test 10,000 a day. Then they mention that they go home and vape some more

That’s much less automated than I would have thought. Also the dude vape testing the sticks… I don’t think they are aware they are probably doing more damage than good.

Not great from a hygiene perspective given they never show it being sterilised after the manual check.

It's not that surprising that a company that sells these awful gadgets to people who don't really care about their own health would behave in such a manner.
