Cause I learned the hard way about ordering vape stuff on eBay. I needed a replacement glass for a Horizon Arctic tank that I had. Did a Google search to find out where I could order one. The search brought up eBay, I hit the buy it now button, finished the transaction only to discover the estimated delivery was a month later. :shock: So I went back, did another search and found one here in the US that I could get in a few days. Now, I pay attention to where things are coming from. ;)

Aha, getcha. Yes, when I'm buying something from the Bay, I actually do check the date, too. (This wasn't something I was getting tho.) :)

Great cartos. :D

Someday. ;)

I'm actually curious how they would vape now. :unsure:


Shhhhhh... don't breathe a word...

got ONE tank running a Boge...

What did you notice as the difference?

Poor wick-ability compared to the genuine ones and also a funny taste. Interestingly enough, the first package I had from a Canadian vendor was actually pretty acceptable thus I bought a second package from a Chinese seller. Those were the ones that didn't perform very well. They were only $4.99 per package with free shipping from China so I thought it was a good deal (but didn't prove to be such a good deal after all). I would surmise that there is wide variability between batches with some being better than others.

No, I actually didn't even notice that. Why?

Re: delivery dates from China

Each country treats mail from China in a different way. In some countries it can take up to 8 weeks to get it to its final destination. Canada happens to be one of those countries. :( I don't imagine it would take that long for the USPS though.

:2c: I thinks both of those packs of Clr's are authentic. I've gotten nothing but the ones in the black package sealed in plastic. Packaging is forever changing and I think most companies use what's going to be cheaper for them.

Hiya Katy!! &happy happy... KD :bday::laugh:

Yessirree Bob, I mean, PufZ. They don't get a LOT of play but I still look at them fondly (a pink, a blue, and a black one).

+ cool +

I don't know that they are genuine Joyetech coils. I've bought clones before (once from a Canadian vendor and once on eBay) both sellers were upfront about them being clones, not genuine Joyetech's. Both were packed in these black plastic trays with clear heat seal wrap. I was always working under the assumption that only the silver backed packages were genuine Joyetech's.

So then, the ones in the black plastic packages work okay? My experience with clones has not been good. :nah:
I have both, the ones in foil @1 ohm and ones for 0.5 ohm in the black plastic. Both came in Joyetech boxes. Using the 0.5 ohm now and vapes really well.

Well darn it, I just got a Cabernet Red Provari Radius, and now I just had to order the red ego one mega. The color looks to be pretty close to matching, hope it's close enough.
Niiiiice!! I went back & forth with ordering more tanks and had a certain person:wub: trying to enable me to get the red and ironically thought today, one more couldn't hurt because it seems I will be using these bad boys for a long while and the red does look really cool, so I think I may pull the trigger today after a few cocktails. :blush:I'm allowed cocktails today because it's my Friday.:rolleyes:

The mega v 2 looks like it will match.

I'm not overly worried about it. If you guys have those ones and everyone seems happy with them I'm not going to sweat it. Not like I paid $100 for them (LOL).

But, as a side note, both packages of those clone coils I bought also came in Joyetech boxes. I tossed them long ago so I can't do the scratch-n-sniff on them now. Does anyone here still have a box that the black plastic tray came in? I would be curious to know if your codes show up as authentic. I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that only foil backed ones are authentic (that's why I was working under that assumption and don't ya know, I can't find that information now).

I don't throw anything away but I don't check the codes. If you want to check a couple of mine, I'll give you the numbers. (I wouldn't even know how to check :blush:). :)

Sure I don't mind because I'm curious really. Just make sure they came with the black trays (I'm sure you will because the coils are probably still inside :) )

I have nothing but the black trays (all 1 ohm CLR's). Do you need the Serial or the 4- 4 digit numbers??

When I check it the authentication code said it has already been checked and thus could be a fake. Meaning of course, companies who produce clones would use an authentic code to print on the boxes so they look like real Joyetech codes but once they are checked Joyetech knows it so is telling you this might be cloned product.

Did anyone else check this number? If so, did it come back as an authentic code?
If I was the first person to check, then I would have to say they are clones.

A solution would be: if you don't mind, PM me with another code that is unchecked and I'll check it and then I'll know for sure nobody else ran it. Sorry, don't mean to be a PITA here.
