Counterfeit Aspire Nautilus

[Vulcano]

Might I ask how you know it was non-authentic? Was it blatantly obvious?

I went to the aspirecig site to check the code from the "scratch and check" sticker and I was the 1,623 one checking the same code...

Besides that, the physical differences are obvious, check the pic...

I have ordered from 2 different vendors on Ebay without prior knowledge of the rampant fakes on the market. Luckily I have not run into your situation. My nautilus, nautilus minis, Kangers, and coils have all been verified as authentic. I would definitely contact the seller and see what response he gives you.

yes sir!!!!

one thing I learned on ebay if it's to good of a price to be true it's probably bogus

I continue to wonder why they don't use welded wires. It's quick and cheap and requires no solder. It's just a capacitive welding process that uses an arc that drains the capacitor and then it recharges. There are guys on YouTube making their own welded wires using parts from a cheap flash camera sold in drug stores.

Maybe it is just matter of cost, but not sure why.....I will follow up on this and let you know if I find something

Thank you so much for posting the comparison pics of the Real vs. The Fake Nautilus. I suspect many may be helped because of it.- Dave

 

[Vulcano]

No problem Dave...

I hope it helps to somebody else out there...

I think at this time, it is just matter of waiting to see if I get an answer from the seller....they have dead line of Aug 1st

I just got the refund from the seller....still waiting to see if they want the item back

yep there are naut clones out there a b&m near me sells them, like someone said you get what you pay for

I had the same thing happen to me. When I complained to the seller he refunded my money. I sent him a message asking for a mailing address so I could ship it back to him. He replied a few days later with, "Keep it as a courtesy from us". One thing I did during the whole dispute process was hold back from giving a negative review.

 

[werefrog]

also you only payed 20 bucks and said it works the same, so as long as the coils you replace work keep it .In the future ask the pm the seller and ask.

I´m only planing to give Neutral review, saying that there was an issue that was fixed promptly

I got mine in and the serial # showed it to be authentic and it looks more the one on the right in the picture. I plan on building my own coils anyway so as long as it dont leak then all be good.

 

[Vulcano]

If you can read about the "common" issue the nautilus has, and it is about the leaking....

Just do not thigh it, not the tank, or when you are connecting the tank to your mod...and it should work just fine

I was worried too but My Mini was genuine, and it did gurgle some when I popped it on and vaped it the first day but I found that screwing it on too tight can I guess push whatever pad it is that connects to the battery inward and cause some kind of leaking issue, I'm not sure. Turned it upside down, blow into the drip tip and some juice came out the air hole, cleaned it up and tightened it till i had to use just a little force and it has vaped like a dream since. On day 8 of the same coil, still tastes wonderful.

Edit: Whoops, kind of went off on a tangent there. But yes, if it works just as well I'd keep that bad mammer jammer.
