The Innokin iTaste VV V3 owners group

[p.opus]

That doesn't necessarily mean that it is not authentic. I've spoken to people who have bought innokin gear from their posted authorized distributors and their iTaste Vv 3 didn't have a bar code either. It's very hard to tell, and as was said above, they aren't "clones", they may have just found their way out the backdoor of the production facility...

That's what the issue is. innokin isn't upset because of some price fixing mumbo jumbo, their panties are in a wad because one or more of their fabs are making extra product and selling the excess or rejects out the back door. They never enter innokin's pipeline.

And if these units fail in the field, Innokin gets the blame. That is why on their "box" units they started incorporate the "sticker". It's not a marketing gimmick. It is a sticker that says to the end user that this unit went through the Innokin pipeline. You can use the sticker to cross reference back to Innokin's website.

While I would agree that others make products that say Evod on them, it's still not a generic name like clearo. I'm pretty sure the other companies call their look-a-likes Evod to mislead the public.
As for the Elego name I'm not sure. Take a look at this one!

Kanger is not the only manufacturer of EVODs. Also, someone posted a link earlier for ITC Vapes & at the bottom of the page was an Elego VV v3. Check it out: Elego VV v3 Express - ITCVapes

Sigh, you literally just roll from thread to thread looking for an argument don't you? Hard to see why you had issues with a Mod...

The pics you link from MVS show 7 colors of EVOD, had you ACTUALLY done your research you could have easily found that Kanger makes 8 colors of EVODS. So no, theyre not selling more colors than Kanger makes, whether or not they're legitimate Kangers, i don't know. If they say they are true Kangers, i would expect to receive properly branded units, then take issue if that was not the case.

No idea what that FT link has to do with anything, everyone knows those are knockoffs and FT makes no representations otherwise.

Everyone knows they are knockoffs??? Really get serious. Those hearing good things about the Evod would certainly think they were the real Evods.

Jumping from thread to thread? I started this thread if you did your research.

My issue with a Mod is none of your business.

I think people need to settle down, it is not that big of a deal, as long as we're vaping and not smoking then doesn't matter.

I got my 1st v3 from fasttech, it had no sticker, but everything from the packing to the battery is the same as one I bought from a US vendor with sticker, funny thing is, the one from fasttech is still going strong, but the one from the US vendor, the post is to loose and have to constantly pull the post up. Do I believe the one from fasttech is fake, no not at all, everything matches to well.

If someone wants to pay double for one with a sticker, that is there choice, personally as long as it works, I couldn't care less, I just want it as cheap as possible, a while back I was going to order one from desertvapes, but ended getting from ebay because desertvapes was out of stock, otherwise would of got one from them.

elego is listed as a genuine kanger dealer most likely just rebranded. innokin most likely does the same.

Ladiekali, you're on terribly shaky ground here. I respectfully suggest you read up on ECF rules, and edit your post. It's bound to be reported, or deleted by a mod, and there's a also a chance this thread could be closed.

That's what I was thinking, I think Elego is some level of distributor.

1. There is a new Innokin iTaste VV, it has 6 rivets, and on Facebook INNOKIN says its significantly improved. I call it version 3.5 2. Stuff in China is copied all the time. Some Chinese companies use things like used resistors and alternate batteries on devices. The electronics to copy the device amount to the control chip, which the OEM chip maker is happy to sell to anyone. Refurbs exist. Clones exit. The thing is that with the current pricing how profitable is it to clone, I would not think so, because you have to build the box, the inserts, and the code on the box stops it. But you can sell them raw. Is a 6 rivet faked right now, I doubt it, but I am amazed at what can be done to make things cheap in China. 3. Saving 3 bucks to get an unboxed unit, without a charging cable is not worth it to everyone. I also doubt a vendor is going to risk a relationship with a customer to make 10 bucks once, and piss off a customer, on something They know is a clone. Most vendors buy from a supplier that carries many items, crappy failing iTaste would ruin that relationship, quick. If you want to buy that unit do it. Just realize that the cable is worth the 3 bucks, and makes a lovely stocking stuffer if you already have one. The box is nice for a gift. The thread is supposed to be about the device, not a bargain shopping thread for EVODs or whatever, and there are other threads dedicated to where to buy the 6 rivets for the best prices. There is no 19.99 Itaste out there, there are ones for 26 with no shipping, or 30 with free shipping. The ones on eBay are boxed with cord. It makes the most amount of sense to buy it from someone where you want to get other items along with it, and save the shipping on the other items. edit: My exciting scratch and sniff code from my box Works, 088021309034818687 it comes back as good. Now if they don't disable the code after I checked it, it completely worthless as a check edit2: Well it looks like it works as you would expect it to be designed. First day it just confirmed it was a good number. Next day: "This security code has been used 2 time(s)! The first check time is 2013-12-04 00:07:25"

God this is aggravating.
Show me a knock off itaste vv3. And you are right you started this theead and i dont like you misleading people. Desertvapes is not selling knockoff products and i think you are a jerk for insisting my batteries are fake when i say they are not, you have yet to prove that what desertvapes sells is fake, even after i posted my conversation with dave the owner.

You are a big big doody head for not knowing your facts, and by wrongfully insisting that my reputable dealer is shady with out any such proof.

Ps if any one believes this guy your an idiot too.

Am I reading your post correctly? I never once said DesertVapes sells fake VV-3's. My gosh they sell real Kanger Evod's. You can search every post on this thread or any other thread and find me not saying a word about Desert Vapes.

 

[Ed_C]

I don't think the all caps is really called for. Evod is, as far as I know, a product line that Kanger created. It's the name they use for a line of clearos and batteries. While I'm not sure if this name is registered or not, I'm pretty sure they created this name. Now if generic products, where the company of origin is not listed, use the same name and design, I'm pretty sure it's to mislead the customer, or others that see the product. In other industries, this is usually called counterfeiting, but for some reason in the ecig business we call it cloning. In the defense of places like FT, at least they don't include the company name, so in a sense it's buyer beware. But it's still misleading in my book.

I don't want this thread shut down. I have no ill will towards Ladiekali. I've been through a lot worse as a Marine. All is well as far as I'm concerned.

Understood, Speedracer, and nor do I want this thread closed. It was a gentle reminder for ALL of us to be aware of our own special ECF netiquette, and to "attack the post, not the poster".

Anyone know of a good case, either hard or soft, that will hold a VV 3.0, T3S and 15ml bottle...maybe a spare coil or 2 as well?

I use a ego case, which most vendors stock

Good, back to the regularly scheduled programming. I just use a Ego case, it's one of the bigger ones, but I think any of them will work. It's nothing very fancy. Desert Vapes has a big collection of colors and sizes at good prices.

I still have my eGo start kit case and it works great. I can put 2 VV-3's, PT2 PT Mini2, and a 30ml bottle of juice in it.

This is what Vapor Joe's had to say about it:

http://.........blogspot.com/2013/06/the-dirty-little-not-so-secret.html

I read another post somewhere on this forum about when a clone is not a clone. It specifically pointed out that having the Chinese manufacture your product opens it up to fakes/clones but they're not fake--more like unauthorized or unlicensed. Many products are made in the same factory, by the same people, at the same time but some of the products get stamped with a different logo/color/packaging.
