Counterfeit vapes are a growing problem in Australia, and the most copied brands are the most popular ones — IGET, ALIBARBAR and GUNNPOD. A fake can taste harsh, die early and contain unknown ingredients. Here is how to tell the difference before you pay.
The packaging tells you a lot
Genuine products use crisp printing, consistent branding and clear batch details. Fakes often have blurry text, mismatched colours or spelling errors. Compare against photos on the official brand page and on our product pages.
Always verify the authenticity code
Most genuine disposables carry a scratch-off code you can check on the manufacturer’s website. If the code is missing, already scratched, or returns an error, treat the device as fake. This single step is the fastest way to avoid fakes when buying online.
If the price looks too good, it probably is
Genuine stock has a real cost. Rock-bottom prices are a classic red flag for grey-market or counterfeit product. Buying from an established Australian store that stands behind its stock — with real reviews and a clear returns policy — is the safest move.
