Ghostick Duds 2019

[spaincomehome]

I really like(d) the GhoStick. I bought 4 of them last year but they tend to get lost. So I have bought 3 more this year in 2019 and have had to send all of them back. I've gotten one replacement back so far and even that one seemed like it has a weak battery. My local trusted store has stopped stocking them so I've been buying on-line. Am I getting counterfeit devices?

This is your system right?
Ghost New Generation Pod System All-in-One Starter Kit

If you like it and it works for you then thats great.
A pod system has a form factor that involves a relatively small battery, so you probably wont get very long run times. This of course depends on your usage habits.

When buying online or otherwise there is always a danger of being sold a counterfeit product. You can limit this by always buying from a reputable vendor, ebaye and amazone are probably both best avoided.

Thanks for the response. Actually the ones I like are an older generation than your link. My local store quickly stopped carrying the new generation. I've been using the older version for months now and liked them but as I said they can get lost or simply run their course after a few months. Its this new batch that has gone bad. These are not e-bay, just fairly local stores (well I live in a very big city and buy them on-line as to long a drive visit the store) and they just aren't like the old ones. It seems the old generation isn't being manufactured now. I wonder if I am getting rejects or "refurbished" that the manufacturer has had returned. All are in the normal sealed packaging with all the accessories.

You may be SOL. Chinese suppliers are known to do all sorts of nefarious things like bait-and-switch, even on other Chinese companies. There seems to be not a whole ton of law out there. It’s possible that the company itself was the one who got crap hardware.

spaincomehome, it sounds as though they're phasing your device out. You may need to consider finding an alternative, such as Lost Vape Orion or IPHA Swis.
