I've seen the occasional "styled" box on some of the Chinese sites, but that's one thing I would never consider getting. No way I'm going to cheap out on the board. Not only from a performance perspective, but a safety perspective. A tank which is just some milled metal and glass is one thing. Something that regulates power? No.
I've also never bought a regulated mod from anywhere other than a well known vendor with a good track record. Not out of fear of counterfeits, but for warranty support should it be required.

The Hana DNA 40 clone was pretty popular for a bit and worked and still works well
edit to add: it was 30 not 40 watt , pre tc

Cloning companies don't care about changing logos, they copy them 1:1 all the time.
Regulated mods take more effort and expense to clone due to the sum of parts used, why bother when you can simply make a threaded tube and sell them by the caseload.
When I bought my Alien I didn't bother at first to play the scratch off game to see if my Alien was an authentic one. But when I tried to update the software because I thought it would be a good idea, I got the error message saying that no USB device connected, even though I followed the instructions carefully and tried on multiple computers. That got me to scratch off the box and it said my device was authentic. I don't think now that there are fake Aliens but it is possible nowadays.
Early, affordable 30 watt Hana Modz clone.

I think if you can make a fake/clone mod you can surly make a fake authentication web site/ scratch off to go with it
You mean they can create a scratch off that will register as an authentic on Smok's website?
I was thinking they would have a web site on the box next to the scratch off to enter the code,something real close to official but not, Doubt they could fool Smok on the Smok site, am I the only 1 losing connection with ECF all the time?
Did you do this with the USB cable that came in the box with it, or just some rando one you found lying around? There ARE cords out there that are only power cords and do not have the data pins connected. Could be one reason why that might happen with an authentic unit.
I actually tried it with a Samsung cord. But I know that isn't the one that it came with. Did not do it with the one it came with and should have. But now I can't complain with its original software as I have not had an issue as of yet. Version 1.0.2.
There are more expensive regulated mods on the market that could potentially be knocked off. Think of stuff like DNA or high end YiHi mods. Those carry enough of a price premium to make them attractive to being knocked off. I know there have been some DNA knockoffs sold, usually found out when they won't hook up to eScribe.
Welcome to the wacky world of vaping where logic takes a back seat.
Lol.
You think thats funny?
REOs mods sells/sold clone atomizers...and blamed clones when his business started to tank.
I always liked the old anti clone crowd when it came to the "reomizer" line of attys.Welcome to the wacky world of vaping where logic takes a back seat.

I only get anti clone when the clone owners belittle the authentic owners...And I become vehemently anti authentic when the authentic owners belittle the clone crowd. It's so incredibly silly. Who really cares? I generally buy authentic unless it's a modder who intentionally makes his stuff impossible to get. In those cases, I've found the clones to be great. I have an authentic Narda and 4 chi nardas. I can't tell them apart.
As an ex Marlboro guy, I can't remember ever slapping a dude smoking cost cutter smokes.
However, in the interest of staying on topic, I've never considered a regulated clone. I take that back....I had a zna clone that I had Zen put a genuine DNA chip in. And I bought a vapor flask clone to mod into a squonker...Mine worked better than the authentic VF Squonk. No juice leaking out of the USB and you could actually remove the bottle.
