YAY!! I have generic batteries!! only paid less than 8.00 each!! What a steal, and they still work after having them a week!! :laugh:

I buy in bulk and expect a high failure ratio. If it happens, I was right, if it doesn't I'm giddy with glee! I would rather buy 9 items at $3.00 each and have 3 fail, than 3 items at $9.00 each and have 1 fail.

hmm

I check my bottoms of my ego's and I see "no logo" therefore they are generic.. I like generic.. they are cheaper and easier on my budget..

buttons popping off?? I will get a hole in mine?? that sounds scary!! will it make a noise when it does it?? or is it like silent but done??

Hope it won't make any smells!! :laugh:

but my pass thru on my pc has no logo either.. hmm.. I don't think I own anything with any logos... Now I feel all deprived.. *sniff

**sorry.. but I hope everyone gets a good laugh out of this! :)

The knock off came in a legit looking joyetech box.

Loving the gang mentality here. Thanks guys. I have appreciated the help thus far on other issues regarding my device. But this gang mentality is not what I came here for.

oh it doesn't have the logo? that's weird...

when i first got my (now ignored) vivi novas i was told repeatedly that they weren't genuine...the box said vivi nova by smok...apparently vision are the "real" ones LOL

It will softly wail like a dying swan and expire in the blink of a light. So very sad.

My first "ego" battery purchase was at a local B&M. It's a passthru and hubby has one too. I don't have the bottom any more, we will blame hubby for losing them, so I cannot say with certainty they are authentic, but I do remember the box said joytech.

I have since bought several styles, mah's of the ego types ( a few from FT) and see no difference? Fake or not, I love the prices at FT...placed an order with them last night..5 more knock off egos on their way to me :)

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.

News flash. Just because a product is made in the USA by an overpaid employee who has no fear of being fired due to union protection does not make it a better product.

I'm going to have to agree with this. Bash them with facts is what my dad used to say but I have no horse in this race.

If you buy china quality stuff, the distinction between original (though Joye didn't design it) and the knockoff is not really enough to be something to worry or fight about.
