eGo T vs. eGO Q, K?

[labgramma]

I'm wondering if the U, Q & K batteries being advertised as "eGo" are actually genuine, Smoktech eGo products? Does anyone know? I see more and more sites just stating eGo as if it's a generic term instead of an actual brand.

I bought some a few months ago, and while I like them for the colors, and not being slippery like the plain stainless steel, I'm fairly sure they aren't going to last as long as the "real" thing. I have a couple of batteries I bought nearly 2 years ago from Liberty Flights that, while weak and on their last legs, are still aliiiive!

I just want a good, genuine, 1000+ mAH eGo battery in a couple of colors (so I can tell which I charged last) at a good price. Is that too much to ask?

Sorry, I meant joyetech, not Smoktech.

If its not advertised as a genuine joyetech ego battery on the vendors website... don't buy it.

Wondering about this myself, I kinda like some of the etched designs on the K's but don't want to wind up with a cheap knock off that breaks after a couple weeks.

there are many imitations out there. Litecig usa has the authentic joyetech, with better prices then a lot of the fakes. I just picked one up!

I got some of the pretty Q type batteries (though they aren't called that) from myfreedomsmokes.com and so far so good, they are holding up as good as the twists I bought from the same place.

For myself I just ordered a real Ego twist, I still like the etched K types and may eventually get one for a spare or just because I can (Hi my name is Silverlock and I'm a vapeaholic) but decided to go with an authentic Joyetech for my first just to be on the safe side.

Thanks everyone. I have some of the 1100 mAH patterned batts, and while they are good new, they're failing sooner than my good ol' Joye ones. BUT, I have a couple Joye variables and they're failing sooner too. I should clarify: they're getting weak sooner than I'm used to.

Unfortunately, finding non-variable, genuine Joye eGo T batts in 900+ mAH is getting harder and harder. If I can find some, at a good price, boy am I gonna stock up!!

Ugh. Just tried to go to litecigusa's site: either it's down or they're out of business. Rats.
