Thanks for article. Interesting to see the efforts they are making to stop the fakes.
I have managed to find a certain supplier on alibaba who claim to supply original products. I have searched and dug and just when I have thought I cannot find more information I have dig even deeper.
Now without revealing their name this is what I have managed to find out.
What they claim:
Licensed manufacturer for large ecig companies such as innokin, Kangertech to mention a few.
100% authentic
They state that their products come with a serial no which can be checked on original manufacturer websites.
What google has told me:
Their claims are true.
What I have learnt on other forums including this one:
They are a factory that is used to manufacture goods for innokin etc and are licensed to do so.
Their products are authentic. Ok yes some are clones but the ones they claim to be authentic are such as innokin and Kangertech.
I have seen posts (on various forums including fasttech) with many ppl agreeing that their claims are true.
Last but not least.
I emailed innokin. I asked them if my device which was given to me as a birthday present was fake since it appears to be manufactured by this particular company and not by innokin.
Real names removed..
Here the emails:
Hi there,
I have been given an itaste svd for my birthday. I love it! Works wonderful! Looks like good quality!
I dont know where it was bought but it appears to have been made by a company called XXXX
Is it a fake??
Thanks
Peter,
Hi Peter,
Innokin technology are original manufacture of Itaste products ..
XXXX are buy from innokin , is the package have security code sticker ?
Best regards ,
Hi There,
So if they buy from you it is original then?
I have sticker yes
Regards
Peter
Hi Peter ,
I am not sure , please check security code in innokin website.
Thank you !
So at this point with them not telling me they are fake I can only come to the conclusion that this manufacturer are who they claim to be.
From what we have seen develop on fasttech Innokin will obviously not say yes or no. You remember the issue when they said Fasttech is selling fake goods since they not coming from them? Same thing I guess.
But.. I am still going to be cautious and not buy a large order. Will place a small one and check codes to ensure they all match up. Will take it from there.
And if these codes check out and and their products prove to be 100% authentic..?? I think for the sake of a long and happy life I wont reveal who it is..
