I've had no luck with anything generic. The quality control is abysmal. I suggest going with the tried & true.
It's hit and miss. Sometimes I've had no name stuff last an entire year when used in rotation with other gear. Other times- not so much lol
Unless you are getting some kind of crazy deal, it is probably just as inexpensive in the long run to get the real things. That being said... I have two eGo twists and they are not the same. One, I purchased from my local B&M and the other from overseas. Both work just fine but one is an imposter ????
I would not buy a knock off ego. Too many are junk. My aunt just bought 2 kits, each having 2 batteries. All 4 crapped out in a month. I would only buy genuine Joyetech ego's, or Vision spinners. Just my opinion.
I started with one of these.
Roar Vapor: Ego Basics Kit - eGos & Accessories - Hardware
It is a SmokTech I believe. It has worked fine but it has only been not yet 2 weeks. I would only recommend it if you are trying to find out if you will like it cheaply.

i bought a knock off ego it went in the bin, now am using the ego-c upgrade which is fantastic
Make sure wherever you purchase a battery they are giving you some sort of warranty.
I was sold knock off ego's in my starter kit and they sucked. I paid wy to much or the kit but had no clue and relied on the so called experts( rip off artists) at the local shop I bought them from Synergy. They replace the first two. Then replaced another that went bad in a week and today the last one finally quit. So in 1 month time I had 5 batteries go bad. I should go back and ..... them out but I chalk it up to me being dumb and not researching like you are now. Live, learn and move on. Sad for them they will never get my bussiness or anyone I know and I spend a ton -- lol
Had 2 egos, mini and a twist from a site that sells knockoffs. All do not work within 6 months. Just pony up for a good name brand
The two KGO batteries that I got in a kit from hoosierecig.com have been fine. Of course, it hasn't quite been two months for me yet. The only place I know of to just get the battery (not in a kit) is elitevaporworks.com. That being said, I did break down and get a Vision Spinner to be prepared for a battery death. Not sure if KGO counts as generic, but they've worked fine for me.
I'm probably going to just buy joytech brand batteries I mainly posted this out of curiosity about knock offs don't seem that much cheaper. Just wanted to know if they actually worked sounds like they aren't worth the savings. Also wanted to get my 5 posts in LOL
