What happened to Wards Werks?
« on: November 18, 2017, 11:07:36 PM »

I wanted to order Wards Werks cooling fans and the website is gone! Jason makes a great product, last December he posted a message on his website saying he would freeze all future orders till mid 2017. I’ve been checking for months to see if he was back up and suddenly the website is no longer in service. I hope he is OK. It was a great guy to deal with and he made a great cooling fan system.

I don't know the whole story or what happened, but Love Juggs new Mity Mites look like an exact copy of Jason's fans to me.

Yep, Love Juggs is making and selling his fans. I don't know how that came to be but I would assume they bought the rights or design.

I had used Wards fans on my previous RK and on my current SESG. I don't know what happened to Jason. I think he is active military. And I remember there being some type of war of words between Jason and Loves Jugs people. And yes it sure looks like Loves jugs is making and selling the exact same fan that Jason invented and sold. I sure hope Jason got fairly compensated for his design.

Love Jugs threatened to sue Jason because he had two fans on his home made deal - because they hold the two-fan patent, and then they straight up stole his design and according to them "improved" upon it.

Jason was not taken over, nor did he sell out to anyone. Word is Jason is working on something better than his original design that does not infringe upon Love Jugs patent.

The Wards fans on my 13 are great. I wouldn't own the Love Jugs if they were given to me....

Keep us posted if he comes out with something new. Have his fans on my 15 and love them when in Florida. He has always been good to work with sorry to see him get shafted.

Jason is still in business. Last year he repaired my set when the front one died.

Curious where this love Jug threatened to file suit rumor came from. I would love to read this.
Also who talked to Jason and found out the "word" that he was working on something new?
Wards product was so much nicer than Love Juggs. Just sounds like these are rumors & if not a rumor were did info come from.

Give Jason a call, he's still answering the phone.

Or was...
