i know the horse has been sufficiently beaten but......now we are talking custom hand made one of a kind versus genuine or "fake" :D

p.s. unless you are purchasing "genuine joyetech" eGos...you are getting a 510 threaded manual battery ie; "fake" (that everyone calls an ego...but ultimately all are from china...prob the same schematic and factory LOL )

You have to go up the thread a but to see where all that came in, but don't bother, it is rather boring and silly.

And you are correct, I am assuming that my eGo is most likely a fake. As well as my tanks.

Price fixing is only when you call your competitor such in this case if provari called joytech and said hey price your evic at $200 and we will price provari at $300.... Price fixing is only valid if two competing vendors work together to jack prices. All other situations are just free market price strategies.

In this case it's to stop those other companies from using the provari as a loss-leader and devalue the provari. Also, since Provape is the only online US vendor, they are protecting their prices as well as everyone else who sells it.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, the term "generic" would be more useful and accurate than "fake". So you have 'generic' Egos, just like you can get generic Ibuprofen. Same schema, same mechanics, same use, different price...

I know I have 'generic' Ego-style batteries, and you know what? I don't care. That's what there is and they get the job done!

Being that it says ego on it, I would assume that it is a knock off ego, aka fake. I referred to others, without the name as generic earlier in the post. OMGosh, this is enough.

the dekang, and the "no name" they stink stink stink!!!!! **pouts.. I got stuck with 3 whole bottles.. :/

Put them in a drawer and forget about them. The first e-liquid I ever had was Dekang and it made me gag. I put it away never expecting to see it again. Four months later I came across it and it had turn from a sort of amber to the color of molasses. I was curious and gave it a try. It was yummy!

Taste is Subjective......... Because you don't like does not mean someone else won't love the flavor. I have yet to find ANY e-liquid producer that can satisfy my preferences with 100% or even 30% of their offerings.

It may say "eGo" on it, but if it's a Joyetech it will have the logo.

if you care...look on the bottom, it will have the joyetech logo...like a circle with 3 lines on the left...or an E depending on how you look at it (on the silver endcap part)...i don't think that most of the generics have the ego silkscreen on the battery itself but.....if i am mistaken i will promptly be informed of my infraction LOL

Not me. Apparently, it is a sin to bash anything from over there. You would think, by some reactions, that you just killed their puppy.

Good luck in mixing. I would like to do it myself. You should start a thread on it.
