"It is made by third party, we've described Unbranded. any problem, I will solve..."
Seems to be a stock reply by them.
Amongst all the Smok pics :

Brand:
Unbranded/Generic


98 Neg Feed Backs in the past 12 Months - Why would you buy from someone like that anyway ?
I'm sorry you got ripped off.

I would not use it.

I had bought a smok procolor 225 back on December 31st quit working after 2 months one time it sparked outta the air control vents but it was from the atomizer connecting to actual mod. Scared the [emoji90] outta me.. lol. Thank God it wasn't when I was hitting it! Then 1 month later just stopped working! Still looked brand new when I threw it in the trash!

Ebay isnt exactly the best place to order vape gear. If it isn't wire, wicks, battery wraps, or a cloned mech/atomizer then dont order it from ebay. Ordering from one of the aproved vendors here will likely result in a much better chance for authentic mods and batteries. With that said ive gotten lucky before too, the Sigelei 100 watt I have was orderd on ebay and has been going strong for about 3-4 years. Just remeber ebay is almost always a gamble.

Well, at least (at some point, I'm not clear) they disclosed it was inauthentic. I'm not sure you'll be able to send it back UNLESS (authentic and/or branded) were in the listing. I also don't know if PP or whatever will support a chargeback to the vendor (they may or may not) given it's vape gear, which is (technically) not supposed to be sold on ebay, although it is, all the time and etc.

I bought one (low end, not used) mod on Ebay, never again. I kind of chalked it up to my own fault, and proceeded from there. I don't buy much at all vape related on ebay, maybe vape skins or something would be okay.

If you can get your money back, well I would try. I am doubtful that a smok knock off is going to perform well and may well be dangerous. Do check out legit vendors on the site for your next purchase. You may well not get the "incredible awesome" price you might on certain sites, but there are usually REASONS for that and etc.

I'd try for a refund, but personally I wouldn't vape it. There are some legitimate vape stores on ebay I think but you have to find them, identify that they are genuine manufacturer sites, and make sure they have great feedback and etc.

I sympathize .I made my unfortunate ebay purchase, (vape related) when I was relatively new. Don't give up, find a better vender and some of the Chinese vendors offer some great prices, at low rates, especially during sales or in clearance.

If you know what you want to buy next, you might post it and get suggestions of where to pick one up at a reasonable price. Best of luck,

Anna
