newbie question deference between fake and legit

[zakozon]

Hi
im new to this forum
i understand that e cig is a simple product, iv tried fake ego-t and legit ego-c and ego-t from friends and i ddint notice any difference (except the price they paid for it), iv read that the battery from the fake ecig will die sooner but every battery have to die eventually.

from your experience what is the different between fake and legit ego-c, ego-t ?
doest it feel different ? last longer? smell different ? cause more damage to the body from the legit one ?

thanks

Hi zakozon, welcome to the ECF. Hope you have a great time here.

In my opinion, there isn't much difference, if at all, between eGo's made by different companies. What is a fake eGo-T?

About the only thing you can go by is the feedback you hear from consumers about the products and the company. Most eGos are technically fake, if you consider that joyetech is the originator of the design and name. I've had eGos made by other companies that perform just as well, if not better, than Joye products. I've also had some junk that quit or fell apart way too soon. Look for the brands and vendors that people have had good success with and you should be okay.

Bought 3 knockoff Kgo 1100 starter kits last Christmas as gifts for friends for $20.00 each. Although they're light vapers they're still working great. I only bought them because ECF Vets had good things to say about the vendor and the kit. Some knockoffs perform great while others are absolute garbage and in buying them there is risk involved.

For me fake ego is one that not manufactured by joyetech. i have always thought that fake ego's are like chinese iphones compered to apple iphones but it seems that im wrong.
I think ill buy the non joyetech one and save at least 50$.
Thanks for helping me, appreciate it.

From my understanding, it's a difference of quality. Parts, longevity, etc. That's not to say that ALL fakes are bad, but with a Joye product you at least know what you're getting. Buyer beware and such.

As long as you're buying from a reputable company that offers a fairly good warranty I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Check the suppliers forum and feedback.

At one time Joye offered a 6 month warranty on their batteries, that's why I went with a Joye when I first started vaping. I don't think that's the case any longer. The warranty seems pretty similiar to the other ego type batteries. I've never really had a huge problem with non-Joye type batteries. If I did have an issue within the warranty time, it was quickly taken care of.
