Im postive in buying a Ego-t, if im correct. Ego belongs to joyetech, which means they have a trademark on EGO-t. Correct?

Well i found several stores that sells EGO-t, but they mostly never say "joyetech". Im thinking of ordering from this site.
Black eGo-T Starter KitThe price seemed OK, but is it genuine? If it says EGO-T does it means its from joyetech?


Let say it is fake, will the device be terribly?

Can you spot it?

Any other site that sells for the same price, maybe cheaper?

Your right, authentic Joye products have an EGO-T on the battery as well as the atomizer. The one you have looks like the batteries authentic but not the atty. I wouldn't say that it will be terrible but, it MIGHT not perform as well. Not sure since I never owned a rip off (well, besides a KGO which is a clone.

If your really looking into an EGO-T. I suggest getting the new C system:

OVALE eGo-C ( Black ) - ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE (e-cigarette) :: ego-C, changeable system, ego-T, elips, liquid, juice, accessories

You don't have to get it from this site but, it's just an example of what it should look like.

The problem with going for the cheapest price is that you don't always get what you are trying to buy. Take a look at the eGo kit here at Cignot:

https://www.cignot.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=KIT-EGT-ALL

Even the logos on the batteries on the other site don't look right. And you can clearly see the eGo T logo on the cones in the Cignot kit. The other thing that troubles me is it looks like they are including battery button covers with that kit. Which wouldn't be necessary with genuine eGo T batteries because they have the 5 button push on/off feature. They seem to be emphasizing that the batteries have an eGo T logo, in an odd way.

If you want cheap - you gets what you gets. If you want genuine eGo take a look at a trusted vendor like Cignot. I have enough doubts that if I wanted a Genuine Joye product I wouldn't buy that one your found.

If it's a knockoff will it work? Some work better than others. The typical complaint is batteries crapping out in the first couple weeks. I would compare the warranties the vendors provide on the electronics - batteries and charger in the kit - before deciding. If you are getting shorted on the warranty consider that a red flag for what is supposed to be a real Joye product.

I only purchase products from reputable vendors even if it means spending a little extra.
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Joye eGo in England sells the Ego-t 900 mah Starter Kit and they have a 20% discount coupon. They are extremely reputable and guarantee all their products. They are also known to only sell Brand name items.
Good Luck, Vapoor.

You're welcome. Here's the correct link for the UK website. The other link I gave is for the U.S. site.
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - eGo - T
Looking for discount code.

Edit: They do ship to Sweden. I have found 2 different discount codes so I emailed the co. and will find out which one is valid.
Also be aware E Cig hardware is legal in Sweden BUT Nic juice is not:
"Same as in Denmark, Norway, and Finland, nicotine free e-cigarettes may be sold but nicotine cartridges are restricted under authorization from EU legislation."
Just be aware of this point and you may want to order your juice and hardware separately.

2nd edit: Here's the Swedish ECF forum. They may be able to give you more guidance in regards to ordering:

Good Luck, Vapoor.

Liberty Flights should have genuine Joye, many have ordered from their US location. Here is Joye's distributor list Joyetech brand offline electronic cigarette shops

Liberty Flights is not on the list but that shouldn't be an issue, I bought 2 kits from them a few months ago

Not all eGo-T batts have the 5 button press safety feature- most that don't are older

Thanks! But the UK prices are almost the DOUBLE in my currency! So it still works to buy from the US right? It says that shipping was only 2.99$. I hope they including my country in that, and not within US.

EDIT: Oh... the shipping was 20$ to sweden, i well i quess i have to start looking for alternatives again. I need something that cost maximum 60$ including shipping :/

I did a lot of shopping around, and there are a lot of companies pawning off eGo knockoffs; generally if it says Joye or JoyeTech it's the real deal, but hard to be 100% sure-most are made in China, and I don't know how they are about copyright violations. I ended up getting one from volcanoecigs; it's almost exactly like the eGo, but they call it the Inferno, and nowhere on the unit or in the advertising does it say 'eGo'.
