Doris has resolved the issue with the fake tanks by shipping me replacement authentic Kanger airflow control bases for the Aerotank as well as the Protank 3. I am happy with the customer service provided by FC.

Good, glad you received a proper resolution to this issue ... I also emailed Doris about this, and she is a little upset about it because they have no idea how many customers were affected by the issue because there were apparently verified authentic batches, and now verified fakes, so she will have just handle it as the bad ones come to light.

Gosh darn greedy suppliers ... they probably didn't have enough authentic inventory to fill the order, and out of desperation decided it would be ok stick a bunch a fakes in instead. :glare:

****** VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ******


There is a new chinese vendor on the scene whom I will not give the benefit of naming however, about a week ago it was brought to my attention that one of the reps for this vendor has decided to use the name Doris, and so I would like to make it clear that this person IS NOT DORIS FROM FOCALECIG. And from here on out I will refer to her as FAKE DORIS.

When I found out about this little tid bit I chose to not speak openly about it, although I did mention it to Cranky99. The main reason this is disturbing to me is because I know that this person chose to use the name Doris by design, and intention, and I don't like it. I also know that this person is very much aware of Focalecig, and Doris, and it is my genuine belief that this rep chose this name ON PURPOSE, knowing the good, and trustworthy reputation that was associated with it, and had clear intentions to create an undeserved association with the name Doris.

The reason that I am speaking about it now is because I found out today that Fake Doris's plan was indeed working, as the real Doris has informed me that she is receiving emails asking her if she is the same person who works for this "other vendor", in addition to having her name inappropriately tagged on other international vape forums, in association with this other vendor ... This is exactly what fake Doris wanted to achieve ... confusion by name association. So let me just go ahead blow a hole in that plan :evil:

And that is not the end of the scandal ... I was actually aware of this vendor prior to finding out about "fake Doris", or even realizing that Focalecig had any knowledge of them. My initial belief was that this other vendor was actually fasttech in disguise .. Why? Because this other vendor is using fasttech's exact product page layout, including the same exact product descriptions, and identical product sku#'s, or at least they were as of last week. Therefore, I initially believed that this was Fasttech expanding their horizons, as did several other ECF members.

I found out about the vendor from a youtube product review, and I was referred to the youtube video by a friend who sent me the link, and told me to check it out because the reviewer was telling viewers that the cloned Kayfun, was an authentic Kayfun. At the time, I had no idea about the rest of this nonsense, but I would soon find out ... they say "all things happen for a reason".

Now, since then Fasttech has issued a statement to customers saying that they are in no way associated with the "other vendor", and that they were in fact looking into pursuing legal action against the other vendor for the wrongful use of Fasttech's product descriptions and sku#'s ... How this will pan out, I have no idea, but I at least wanted my fellow ECF members to know that Doris of Focalecig IS NOT THE FAKE DORIS AT THE OTHER VENDOR, SO DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! :glare:

This is funny. If i would make a business like this, why to bother, buy from FT - bring to storage in USA, Canada + few bucks + flat low shipping cost and you don't need to lie, Just say - i'm re-seller from FT, you want your goods faster - go for it - you want to buy from FT and wate - go for it. But faking some employee name it's complete ......ed move. Also who stops you from buying direct from china supplier.

FAKE DORIS

I'm sorry, it's just so so so funny, and best complement to Doris, as far as her name started to be faked in retail.
Keep up Doris!!!

I guess it's new guy's - company starts with "A".
Summing some young business "sharks", do not want take time to earn there's own nime. Do not know, it takes years to get reputation and second to destroy.

Maybe you should name the store so people don't get scammed by them.


By the way, has anyone ordered the Kayfun lite from the group buy and still has status 'collecting products now'?

I completely agree Laylel, these are my sentiments exactly. There is no need to fake anything, and use another companies sku's and descriptions, and yet another companies Sales manager's name ... Because in the end it only makes them look shady. Although I find a little bit of humor in it because it takes "China cloning" to a whole new level :lol:

Doris is so wonderful that she has been cloned! .. But this is one case where I will say that the fake is not as good as the original: :laugh:

And yes, you are correct in your suspicions. :glare:

You're in for a treat. Built my taifun on the weekend and the kfl+ is crying in the corner since.
The flavour is yummyer on the taifun. Loving my colonel Custard on it.

That's partly why i did skip all sales lately. What if i like one of those more, i will pull my hair off for buying few kayfuns, when i really will rather to have something else. Gona test all my stuff what i ordered in past month and what is still in mail, before i move for new investments.

Aha, you are getting two painful devices then? The Taifun GS is not as easy as its big brother :p

*Tip* do not use heavy VG juice in the GS, she will revolt against you. :laugh:
