The dirty little "not so secret"

If you didn't already know this, Innokin, Joyetech, and other companies engage in fixed prices. To be called an "Authorized" reseller you must agree to sell their product at a particular price. If you do not agree to their fixed prices - you will be banned and cut off from buying products from them. Ask any "authorized" vendor and they will tell you this.

They set a limit on how low you can sell a product.

This gives the manufactures leverage. If you break this agreement, you will be branded an unauthorized reseller. This allows them to claim you sell fake products.

Vendors are getting smarter. They are buying large amounts of product using fake front companies and selling them on their websites for REASONABLE prices. Since there is no way to track the purchases - it frustrates the fixed pricing manufacturers.


The manufacturers can only cry and scream FAKE!

Oddly, this price fixing does not put more money in the pockets of the manufacturer; only in the pockets of the vendor. Vendors pay very low prices for products and must resell them at a very high price. Vendors that discount these products are immediately targeted and turned in by other vendors. Competition is silenced.

This is exactly what happened with Fast Tech and many American vendors. Make no mistake, the products sold as "Innokin" products are genuine; they just aren’t bought by Fast Tech FROM Innokin. Another company had to buy them from Innokin and sold them to Fast Tech because they didn't want to deal with these ridiculous fixed price practices.

This is how the free market works.

We have no skin in this game but we WILL promote and point out where to find the best deals. If this pisses vendors and manufacturers off, so be it. I never started this blog to make friends. I started this blog to save people money.

I invite all my readers to send an email to Innokin and Joytech. Tell them what you think.
I also invite people to ask "Authorized" resellers if they are required to sell items at a certain minimum price.

I knew it was too good to be true!

....Make no mistake, the products sold as "Innokin" products are genuine;

Oh, maybe it isn't too good to be true!

Looking at the China Patent & Trademark office's website Innokin have trademarked the company name but not obtained a design patent on any product. Which would leave them with the sum total of diddly squat.

Which is how Apple, Microsoft, Weetabix, Marmite and any other brand operates in order to protect its "integrity".

Thanks for that Doc, have ordered a Innokin product from fastech and was beginning to wonder if a fake but you cleared that up nicely thank you

hey guys
read a few threads on various sites about fasttech and the opinion is if they state a company namee like innokin or kanger in the description then the product is genuine if they don't it's a copy
