Fakes on eBay

[SteveMc]

Just a heads up, profones on eBay is selling fake MT3's. coils are fixed and useless, now in the bin.

On a side note, got another along with 20 coils from chingy876 on eBay and his products were genuine.

They don't say it is a Kanger product from what I see, sadly many companies make and sell clones using the original name. Evod, MT3, Ego, and others all at one meant a product from a specific manufacturer, now they are used generically to describe clones and knockoffs that mimic the original.

If it doesn't state it is a Kanger MT3, you can pretty well guess its a clone. Not just on Ebay, many vendors do this as well, it is a buyer beware market out there.

I hear what you're saying and if it had done what it said and the coils were replaceable then all would be cool, it doesn't even do that.
The girlfriend smashed her Protank mini so just wanted a quick replacement for her that didn't cost too much to replace when she breaks another, lol.
I guess looking for bargains can have its cons...

Would be good if we could make a list of vendors of fake ecig products on ebay uk actually. Or if anyone has any reputable suppliers who definitely sell originals that would be equally good.

Almost every product on ebay will be a cheaper copy of the Joyetech/Kanger/Innokin/Vision product.
We *know* the wholesale cost of Kanger evods. (I'm not saying b.t.w.) and you don't get a lower price until you buy 100s of them.

If they are not listed as genuine with the appropriate price, be careful - because you can't buy them for those prices from Kanger.

OK, for you and me, it's going to be a little under £3 direct, buying a small/medium amount. (ebay numbers)
