Fake Janty Ego?

[bijo]

Inside my kit I have a little piece of paper that says: "Attention: this kind of USB charger can't be used to charger JOYE510 batteries or it will destroy the batteries"

Note how the word charge is spelled "charger" . Can my fellow ego (specifically Janty ego) owners check for this little white piece of paper? It should be where the charger is in the box.

Starting to get worried this may be a fake maybe Here is a pic:

Just bad translation on the instructions, most likely. Almost all PVs (save mods) are made in China and the translations on some packaging and instruction manuals are hilariously awful.

My Janty came with the very same slip. And, it is very true. That USB charger charges at a much higher rate than regular 510 chargers. Be careful not to charge regular batteries on it.

It was mentioned in another thread, but I will say it again.

A standard 510 charger will charge an ego just fine, it will just take longer, as it doesnt charge with as much juice. (amps I believe)

An ego charger will charge an ego relatively quickly, but there is too much current to charge a standard 510 battery, so just make sure to keep your charging stations separate if you use both styles.

@parmacrafter: The word charge was "charger" in your slip?

Can any of you guys/gals who have a Janty Ego check for the poorly translated "can't be used to charger" warning slip? Is that what comes with an original Janty Ego?

I just added the pic of what I'm talking about. Any Janty ego users have this ?

You're fine, mine reads the same way. There was some discussion about this a few months back...You have a genuine !!!

 

[bijo]

classwife, Thank you! I feel much better.

If it is anything like the Joye eGo manual, that's actually pretty decent engrish

After looking at the images in the link on the Joyetech site of fake / copied look-a-likes, down to the identical box and instructions .... I am wondering how we can know for sure if we have a genuine Joye eGo? I read on another thread yesterday [which I can't find now] that the fake batteries have a blue light on the switch as against a white light [if I recall correctly??] WHen I press my manual button it lights blue - so am wondering if I have a fake copy? Any thoughts from those in the know?

The translation in the 510 pcc manual had me cracking up too. Seriously you make millions of dollars selling these products. Hire one person that speaks English to write your international instructions. lol
