Rebranded boge cartos or knock offs?

[Thepinfamily]

I bought 3 boxes of boge 35mm LR cartos two weeks ago. When they arrived they were not as pictured. Instead of the standard white boge box they were branded as the company I bought them from. It was a blue box with the company name and no mention of Boge on the box. They came packaged just like boge. They were each in a plastic pouch, 510 SS LR printed on the pouch and rubber end caps just as boge. The problem I have it they don't taste like boge. They all have a nasty taste after two days and they get stiff easy. Has anyone else seen rebranded boge cartos or is it more likely these are fake?

I've had re branded cartos from Vapor Kings ( they were fine) and they rebranded my joyetech egos also. Yours might have been from a place that has leftover Boges from Bogegate last year??

I try to buy from a place that has a good turnover ( Surevapes right now) for fresh product. And still, with any new supplier or product I buy a little before I buy quantity.

Oh, Blue box- Hoosier? Have had them ( early this year) and they were true Boges for me. Seems like a good supplier that would take returns after a nice talk maybe.

If I was in your shoes and didn't want to return them I'd try rinsing them out before use.

You are correct about the blue box. They do enough business to have fresh boges I would think. Maybe I just got a bad box. I won't bother returning them. Just not worth the trouble at $4 a box.(They were on sale) I bought three boxes so ill try another box and see how that goes. I just wanted to see if rebranding boges is a common practice. Seems it is.
