Fake Nautilus?

[C.M. Wilson]

So I bought a nautilus yesterday, or at least I thought I did. I am used to Kanger's product verification being on the inside, I had no idea that it should have been on the outside of the box. The box looks good except that the hologram doesn't appear to be in the right place and of course no verification code sticker. I haven't measured tank thickness yet, can't seem to find my calipers for one of it's twice annual uses....

Anyways, I'm assuming it's safe to assume this one isn't legit?

And I know going back to the shop I bought it at isn't going to go over well, but I'm going to walk in with a positive attitude and try. Assuming the consensus is that it's a fake and the glass measures as a fake. The box actually passes all the other "legit" tests.

I don't understand.
So this one does not have a product verification code at all?

 

[C.M. Wilson]

Yeah, none at all. No sticker etc. However, I see pics online, and even this link doesn't show the sticker on the real vs. fake boxes...

I hope the thread I started yesterday has cleared this up for you. The unit you have is FAKE. Take it back to where you bought it and return it. Also contact Aspire with the information of where you bought it.

So get this ...., the owner of the shop's attitude was basically "of course it's a fake, that's why they are only $35 and that they worked as well as the real deal!" He gave me my money back though and was cool about it all. I told him that another shop sells the real deal for the same price practically.

I don't like that. The b&m I go to is very cool about it. They have a shelf for clones and a shelf for the real things. They show the new vapers the clones then the more experienced customers come and they show them the real versions. They make no mistake letting you know what you are buying.

I told him that they should tell people they aren't real. The lady that sold it to me said that she didn't know, I don't doubt her. I got the feeling that he got sold bad stuff as the real deal himself at the wholesale level. He mentioned that he was changing vendors a couple of times.
