Too bad your "original" is made in China. 99% of e-cigs and accessories are manufactured in CHINA> Please do some research, because Google is your friend. If you choose not to purchase from "China" and pay a middleman for what you consider "real" stuff, that is your choice.

Also, I NEVER said I would not purchase ANYTHING made in china. Never once did. But if I am buy a mod, I want it to be made here and I want a nice warranty, TYVM. I am happy with my 15-20 Ego battery, but that is not a big investment. SO relax about my China comment. I never said that I wouldn't purchase anything from China. Thanks for telling me about Google.

So, what does THIS mean?
I figured that out as soon as I took a look at that website.... If it's too good to be true, or made in China, it's fake.

If you are saying the Innokin sold by Fast Tech is fake, because it is made in China, WHERE do you think the original is made? Certainly not in the United States.

LOL, THAT being said, I didn't know any better. I can't look at a PV since I am so new, and tell if it is or isn't. However I did start a thread asking what mods are made in the USA, and got a lot of information from that. I know what I am shooting for now that I am a teensy bit more experienced. I have specifically only bought juice from local/US makers. Will never buy juice from another country and ultimately I would like to make my own....

Baby steps!

BTW, I had no idea my Ego was made in China as I bought it at American eLiquids. I thought american juice, american products. WRONG. My local B&M told me.
That "made in the usa" that eliquid vendors advertise makes people feel "safe".. guess what? Sometimes.. that liquid is only MIXED in the US.. the ingredients they use aren't always "american made"... so by all means.. try to stay away from the china "crap".. chances are.. you're inhaling substances whose true origin could be anywhere from peru to the phillipines.

Quite a few vendors carry juices made in China or Italy, so you have to know the brands - well, actually that might not help either since retailers sometimes rebrand them. Candidly, while it's personal choice whether to vape them or not, there is nothing wrong with Chinese juices, that's all there was available for years.

Fast Tech has been selling innokin knockoff stuff for a while, it's never been called the same thing. They've had the "iWand" which is a clone of the normal itaste, probably made by the same factory, but it's always been sold as the iWand.

$31.57 EGO-F8 iWand 6-in-1 Pen Clip Style USB Rechargeable 650mAh Electronic Cigarette Health Keeping Set - white / Euro plug adapter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I am guessing ........ is right about how it is happening, it does happen in other industries. If I wanted an Innokin product, I would order it from fasttech if they had it cheaper.

Also, the batteries all look legit but knockoff batteries are easiest to spot if you have one you know is authentic. I'll probably order some NCR18650PD's from them but I have that battery already to compare. That said, batteries are marked up a lot in america, so I'd tend to believe they are legit.

My little piece plastic mass-produced in China is better than your little piece of plastic mass-produced in China 'cuz I bought my from an American retailer for twice the price. Neener, neener, neener :pervy:

I just assume that pretty much all of my vaping products are possibly fakes, unless I have something custom made for me. I will just buy generic ego batteries until I decided to invest in something heartier and made by hand, by one person, or small business, made FOR me.

No biggie. And exactly why I didn't say I would never buy ANYTHING from there.

I wasn't directing that comment at anyone, I was just being snarky as usual.
