Question, I got my first eGo kit from Cignot $69 bucks if I recall correctly and it gives you two full egos 2 batts, 2 attys, 2 cones. I got the black and it has silver accents.
I am pretty confident it is genuine Joye.

A month ago I got a second kit from somewhere else for $45. The site said genuine Joye and it may be, but the kit differs. You get two eGos minus the second cone and atty.
But the thing is the accents are gold (ring with button and .... plate).

The only time I see ones with gold bands and .... plate they are always the same config as mine 2 batts, 1 atty, 1 cone. And they are always cheaper. Heck I just found the same kit for $37...
Only $36.95 - Hot Sale JOYE EGO Kit High Quality Electronic Cigarette Vaporized

Mine both work perfectly though I think the gold makes it look cheezy :(
But for the price I guess I am good with it.

Just makes me wonder if the gold accent ones are knockoffs ??
And if so do you think they are knockoffs made at the same plant ? (ie identical?)

Or do you think one day the cheaper one might blow up in my hand.

I am sending the above link to a friend of mine who wants one and has limited funds because as I said mine works just like the silver accented one.

Just makes me wonder a bit, what do all you well informed vapin folk think ??

Big Hitter - First one sounds real. I buy for Suppliers who sell authentic Joye product and kits plus the extra batteries are all blk/silver (yeah I have issues 4 900mah's and 4 650's). I wouldnot sweat it to much if the other kit is working fine then no big deal. Those Chinese are really good at reverse engineering and copying. I believe their universities even have a degree program for that!!

The pics on the site looks like a riva (gold band thats flush with the battery and a rubberized looking button) The riva has a 750mah battery so either the pic is off or its a riva with a 650mah battery. ego and riva are both fine devices but if a knock off it could be ok or iffy. Maybe someone has ordered one that could comment.

Yup, they are from China. Check out the shipping:

Expedited Shipping 3-6 days
(0.35kg) - $25.72
Standard Shipping 6-12 days
(0.35kg) - $17.90
Air Mail 7-21 days
(0.35kg) - $8.45

Yep I didn't check that very well i guess. The last one I got for 45 bucks was in NC with free shipping though, and its working fine so I guess no harm.
I hardly order anything without free shipping.
