That was really cool, thanks for sharing that (also the music was awesome). Crazy how much custom machinery is there, like the circular railing for the Lego-like arms.

Really impressed with that factory! I am a part-time Horologist, and the gears in a mechanical watch always amazed me. I wondered how they were made in large quantities. I now know.

For years, I wanted to do business(small quantities at first) in China, but always chicken out when I start to think about the risk of fraud.

Do you know of any service that vets these factories, and is not subject to payoffs? I guess you need to travel there if a big order is on the table.

I'm really curious how you do qa on an electric shock device? Do you have extra standards for medical devices that you have to meet for this product?

That site (pavlok) asks for my email and doesn't even say what the price of the product is supposed to be, nor any other details. They really expect people to donate their email address to don't-know-who for don't-know-what? I wonder how well that works.

your product reminds me of Quitter's Inc story by Stephen King. Don't know if that is a merely coincidence or you actually inspired by it.
