I bought some juul pods from a gas station i never otherwise go to. Was just there with a friend and thought id get some pods. These taste funny, really nasty. Mint shouldnt taste like these do. Im wondering if they are fakes.

from a gas station, if it said juul on it, it should be legit
If that gas station is in Florida all bets are off.
Coyote, maybe an employee used it and repackaged it for you. I use to do this with yogurt when I was kid working as a stock boy.
No experience with Juul products. But from observation through a local retailer that I frequent, there are other manufactures that make compatible Juul pods
I can't tell if it's fake or not, but if they aren't already being counterfeited then it's only a matter of time. Actually I am kind of surprised it took this long.

Hmmm...I've used Juul compatible pods but don't think I have encountered a counterfeit pod...yet. I buy all of mine at a vape shop, but that doesn't mean they are immune to being duped by a fake supplier.
Could they have been exposed to extreme heat? Cold might do it too. Or just sitting too long.
I always wonder how juice reacts with its container, and whether anything leaches into it.

You can check authenticity of Juuls on the Juul website. You do have to create and account and provide blood and stool samples though.
Juul asks regulators to stop companies selling lookalike e-cigarettes
If there is anything that I have learned over the last several years of vaping, is if a particular product is popular and profitable, China clone manufacturers will duplicate it. The Juul was a perfect target. Provari anyone?

Having missed the Provari Era, I'm no expert, but that fire button doesn't look quite like what if expect on a provari. Same for the screws, but that button sure doesn't look like something on a $2-300 mod. But like I said, never had one to know.
(Edit apologies to provarians if that's legit no criticism intended)
Can't help but notice that they are revealed as FAKE and knockoff mods and tanks are called CLONES. Just my 
well there is a difference, clones don't state that they are the original whereas fakes do

I agree with Shadav. The difference is in marketing and what you intended to purchase. If a product is a copy and you buy it as a very cheap version of the original with full knowledge that it is not the original then it is a "clone". If you are misled and believe you are purchasing an original (often at original pricing) when in fact it is not, then it is counterfeit/fake.
CNBC article? Oh it must be true then.
Yeah, by now there's bound to be a bunch of fake Juul devices arriving. Trouble is in a lot of cases the fake makers read up on what others say about fakes (such as how to spot fake articles) and set about correcting the errors.
