I guess some of the vendors on here don't like being undercut on prices. They are probably all made in the same factory in China.

Might be so, or could be that the person who created that line, does not want to be copybotted.. meaning: work hard to have your work stolen and sold for less money

Makes creators and idea thinkers stop. What is the point? Why continue, when you will be ripped off..

I wonder if the FT MVP is a KO, but made in the same factory to the same specs as the innokin.....

OR, maybe innokin is just mad that FT is selling below the "MSRP" they demanded......

I took a quick visit down the the APV section, and people there seem happy with the FT MVP.

You sure can't beat the price.

Can any FT MVP users chime in?????

That's a valid point. OTOH, the eGo batt is ubiquitous and people don't seem to mind eGo KOs......

I wish someone would pop up on this.. besides the original site.

If it is a rip, FT screwed up. If Innokin is threatening lawyers.. not sure how Asian legal system works.. will be interesting to see how all of this unfolds.

People should jump on the price while they can.

I have the FT MVP, and I love it so far. It has replaced my eVic for use out and about. I still use the eVic at home, but I take the MVP to work now. Also, the iClear16's that came with it appear completely legit. My other iClear 16 heads fit them and they preform just as well. The MVP looks identical to a friends MVP. Packaging, cable, device all appear identical to me. So either my friends is a knock off as well (purchased from a b&m) or the FT one is legit or a perfect copy.

Most likely Vendors are complaining to Innokin about FT undercutting them, and forcing Innokin's hands in that response. Depending on how tightly Innokin polices its distribution chain, they may be able to stop FT from reselling them, if they are serious about it.

Had no idea they had fusion proglide blades! Will be adding that to my next order...
I'll save you the trouble. I believe they are real, just not North American produced model. The ones we get here are better, pay the extra and buy them at a retail store. I bought the power refills.

THANKS!!!

Ordered.

I wanted something to put in the pocket of my riding pants for the bike in my avatar. The eVic isn't the right tool for that job, and I wanted something sturdy and long lasting.

The Reddit thread linked in my last post is telling. I don't know what to believe at this point.

I'm trying out some of their "EVODs" as well. If they are not up to snuff, I'll stick to authorized Kanger vendors from now on.

I also ordered some 'fake' iPhone lightning cables. Was that wrong?

;)

Going to try the EVODs they have next time I order from them. Also may get the SVD as well. Really waiting for them to carry a zmax device.

I like the shipping mixup where they sent a green laser. Had the prices been the same I would've been willing to keep the laser, I was actually looking at that one.

You pays your money, you takes your chances.
It's not like you're guaranteed at getting genuine products from all US vendors either. I even recall a thread where it sounded like a Joyetech distributor listed on their site was selling some copies.

I'm not too worried about my Vamo. I haven't heard of anyone having FastTech issues with one and even if it is junk they seem willing to take care of it on their dime. I know some US vendors that will stick you with the shipping and a restocking fee when the issue was completely their mistake (not necessarily vaping stuff), I had to go to the VP of Newegg because the CSR wanted to charge me shipping and restocking when they sent me a $10 video card instead of the $150 one I ordered and paid for (this was in their early days).
