I hate to ask this, but how do we know they're authentic?
I have a couple of packages in my cart now.
I was sent a clone, from a large vendor, no way they thought it was a clone. They fully refunded, did not ask for it back.
The glass was not as good, but worked, the threads were not as high grade. Dropped it while cleaning, so its toast.
The box of the tank is slightly different. Its not the same. If you look at the back, the text color is faint. Pull it back from eyes and you can not read the text. The real is more clear and you can see it at a distance. On the back the Fonts are different in the Word Nautilus. The fake has a very thin N. It should be the same width of the U. There are some other differences. All of which could be easily solved.
Inside the box of the clone has a furry black felt like holder. The original is pressed cardboard with Aspire in the middle.
At first Fastech had the clone, for clone price, and cloned BDC included. The boxed version I got from the vendor, had cloned BVC heads.
I have not played much with the
cloned heads yet, other than the easy way I could tell, is the top
metal mesh, is not very tight. More like a screen door. Bigger holes in the clone mesh of the coil. You can easily see it vs the original that came in the tank.
All these things can change. But for the real coils. In a box.
They do have a verification number
They do have a UPC sticker, with a name of the item below the bar code.
The box has lines on it, if your run your finger nail over them, it clearly has ridges, like a printing of a a dollar, in the faces.
The Aspire words are embossed also, you can feel them stick out.
