Hello everybody

[neauxanalogs]

So I tried this the other day...

I started a thread with the subject of "No Subject" so that I could meet the 5 New Member posts threshold and move on to specific forums and hopefully get answers to questions that are not being addressed in the new members forum. For whatever reason, that post was deleted due to "Spam"?? WTH???? I'm not SPAM! I just want to get some questions answered. I thought that was what this forum website was all about??? So, I'll try it again with a really sappy sounding title. If this post gets deleted because someone thinks I am attempting to spam the forum, then the moderator(s) can go sit on the business end of a running jack hammer.

Have a nice day.

Welcome to the forum, sorry about the rocky start!

Earlier this week , I asked about "Ego" Batteries on a website called DHGATE.com. Are they genuine batteries or knockoffs? Does it matter if they are knockoffs? The price seems really good, and I am trying to lower my vaping costs as much as possible.

I received no replies to the thread, so either no one knows, or I have really bad B.O. or something.

thats a good question, low prices and free shipping, its probably a place out of China, I doubt the egos are genuine Joyetech though.

almost falls into the "too good to be true" category. I wonder if anyone has gone through them, looking forward to some knowledgeable replies to this myself

Howdy!

I'm not an expert but if I were to hazard a guess I'd guess that they're knockoffs. At the base below the fire button my ego-t is labelled 'ego-t'. Also, while I couldn't see it in the picture on dhgate.com, on the metal cap on the bottom mine has the joye logo. As far as them working, I have no idea. I've bought all my egos (and most of my accessories) from Dave at DesertVapes Electronic Cigarettes and Supply He's a very cool, knowledgeable guy w/good prices and (most importantly to me) has awesome customer service.

Good luck and hope this helped.

From the DHGate website

"DHgate.com is the world's leading B2B online trading marketplace for China wholesale products"

If it doesn't say it's a genuine Joytech, then it isn't. That said, my longest lasting ego is not a genuine one.

I saw that dhgate was a China supplier website. But I figured, "isn't 99% of the world already manufactured in China?" I also assumed that most of the e-cig components on the market are probably of Chinese origin already. I just hate to go ahead and pull the trigger on ordering from them and find out that I wasted my money. They do accept PayPal, so there is some protection in the purchase, but still....

Hey, thanks for replying y'all. I was starting to feel like those Amish kids that leave the Amish community - SHUNNED!

Joyetech has a list of authorized distributors on its website.( Not saying that some legit dealers are not on the list for some reason)
Joyetech brand offline electronic cigarette shops

If you don't mind ordering from China (shipping can take a while) HealthCabin are a well respected vendor and also have great prices. I believe their products are genuine. They also accept paypal

It a risk we take. Last Christmas I bought three Kgo 1100 knockoffs for $20 each- regular $45. The ONLY reason I bought them was because ECF Vets recommended the Kit and the Vendor. Gave them to some friends who are light vapers and they're still using them.

I read recently that chinese suppliers are having major issues shipping to the west.
