spotting fake liqua

[Kevi]

Hi,
Recently I bought a tiramisu flavoured liqua 10ml, I noticed there are no ‘SGS’ printed on the bottle, but the rest of the packing conforms to your website guidance on spotting original liqua. Have I bought a fake liqua?



Please refer to the attached photo.
On the left is mints flavour with ‘SGS’ label. On the right is tiramisu without ‘SGS’ label.
But the one with ‘SGS’ label have hard plastic and non-pointy tip. The one without ‘SGS’ label have softer plastic and pointy tip, which seems to be authentic.

Is both fake?

Please provide guidance.

Different place. Did anyone buy Liqua from fasttech or any other more legit source post picture for comparison?

Société Générale de Surveillance - it is like a third party inspection/certification and approval service company. or is this something different as i have never seen this on ejuice, you need inpections for certian products on exports so this might be an overseas ejuice

My question is, what constitutes a "fake" e-liquid?

They bought a new batch of bottles? They probably do that weekly, and I doubt that they would shut down production just because a certain kind of bottle was on back order.

They printed a new batch of labels? They do that too.

It taste differently because one is tiramisu and the other one is mint lol

Well, it'll be fake liquid if the manufacturer did not acknowledge the printing and packaging style. GoRitchy site acknowledge that there are fake Liqua out there and there are ways to determine it, but SGS labelling wasn't specifically mentioned there... but I saw their sample picture has SGS labelling... Shot an email to them, hope for reply.

Saw a very fake Liqua selling for 3 dollars here in night market, the barcode is printed on the box itself :O

Do you have any idea how many e-liquid labs there are? Their not "fakes", their different companies.

Do you have any idea of how many of us make our own e-liquid? I sure hope you don't think that there is anything "fake" about the juice that I make for myself!

BTW, it costs me 1.18 cents/ml to make the e-liquid Im vaping ATM.
10mg nic, 50/50 PG/VG, apple flavored

Relax, title mention fake liqua, not fake liquid. Liqua is a brand. I know its hard to define fake eliquid, but its not hard to define fake liqua.

Interesting....

Mine didn't have it too.
First row, old batch diff supplier and second row new batch from other supplier. Bought it at Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Anyway, I'm still happy with it
