IGET Authentication: How to Check Your IGET Vape Is Genuine

IGET is one of the most copied vape brands in Australia.

Its popularity makes it a prime target for counterfeiters.

Fake devices look convincing at first glance. However, they often use cheap batteries, unknown e-liquid and poor coils.

That creates real risks, not just a bad taste. So knowing how to verify your device matters.

This IGET authentication guide explains the official verification process step by step.

It also covers the visual signs that expose fakes.

By the end, you will know how to check any device in under two minutes.

Why Counterfeit IGETs Are a Problem

Counterfeits aren’t just a brand issue. They affect your safety and your wallet. Here is why that matters so much.

Unknown Ingredients

Genuine IGET e-liquid follows a consistent recipe. By contrast, fake devices may contain anything.

Nicotine levels in fakes can be far higher or lower than labelled. That makes dosing unpredictable.

Unsafe Batteries

Counterfeit devices often use low-grade lithium cells. These cells can overheat, swell or fail.

As a result, fake rechargeable devices carry a higher risk when charging.

Poor Performance

Fakes rarely reach their rated puffs. They also tend to leak, burn or lose flavour early.

So even if nothing goes wrong, you get less for your money.

No Support

If a fake device fails, nobody stands behind it. Genuine stock from a trusted seller comes with support.

The Official IGET Verification Process

IGET runs an official verification page on its global website. It explains two methods, depending on your packaging.

According to IGET, there are two types of packaging on the market. Each uses a different code system.

Method One: The New Orange Code

Newer packaging carries an orange security code. You verify it by taking a photo.

1. Find the orange code on the box.
2. Open IGET’s official verification page on your phone.
3. Follow the link to the photo verification tool.
4. Take a clear, well-lit photo of the code.
5. Wait for the result on screen.

The tool analyses the printed code itself. So it is much harder to fake than a simple number.

Method Two: The Older QR Code

Older packaging uses a scratch panel with a QR code underneath.

1. Find the scratch panel on the box.
2. Gently scratch off the coating.
3. Scan the QR code with your phone camera.
4. Check the result on the verification page.

The page shows how many times the code has been checked. It also shows when.

Understanding the Three-Check Rule

IGET’s verification page carries a clear warning.

If a code has been checked more than three times, IGET treats it as a fake.

Counterfeiters sometimes copy one genuine code onto thousands of boxes. As a result, those codes get checked again and again.

So if your result shows many previous checks, be suspicious. That is a strong sign of a copied code.

If you get a fake warning, IGET asks buyers to email its support team to double confirm.

The address appears on the verification page.

You can find the official page at IGET’s verification page.

Quick IGET Authentication Checklist

Before you even scan, a quick visual check catches many fakes. Run through this list.

Check	Genuine IGET	Common Fake Signs
Print quality	Sharp text, rich colour	Blurry text, faded colour
Security code	Orange code or scratch QR	Missing, printed flat or reused
Code check count	First check, or very few	Checked many times before
Spelling	Correct flavour and model names	Typos or odd flavour names
Seal	Tight plastic wrap	Loose, torn or missing
Device finish	Smooth seams, even paint	Rough edges, uneven colour
Weight	Solid and consistent	Noticeably light
Price	Market price range	Far below market price

Clearly, no single sign proves a fake. Yet several together should set off alarm bells.

Packaging Signs of a Fake IGET

Packaging is the first place counterfeiters cut corners. Look closely at these details.

Print and Colour

Genuine boxes use crisp printing and vivid colour. Fonts are clean and evenly spaced.

Fakes often show blurry edges, faded colours or colours that look slightly off.

Spelling and Names

Counterfeiters sometimes misspell flavour names. Others invent flavours IGET never made.

So compare the flavour name with the official range. Our IGET vape flavours list helps with that.

Health Warnings and Details

Genuine packaging includes detailed product information and warnings. Fakes often have less detail or odd wording.

The Seal

Genuine boxes arrive sealed in tight plastic. A loose or missing wrap is a warning sign.

Device Signs of a Fake IGET

Once the box is open, the device itself tells a story.

Build Quality

Genuine IGET devices have smooth seams and even finishes. Buttons and screens sit flush.

By contrast, fakes may have gaps, rough plastic edges or uneven paint.

Weight

Counterfeits often feel lighter. Smaller batteries and less e-liquid reduce weight.

For reference, IGET lists the Bar Pro at 93 grams and the IGET One at 118.9 grams.

Screen and Lights

On devices with screens, fakes often show dim, flickering or mismatched displays.

The IGET One’s curved colour screen is hard to copy well.

Taste and Performance

Fakes often taste chemical, weak or burnt from the first puff. Genuine devices taste clean and consistent.

Also, fakes may die long before their rated puff count.

Price: The Easiest Warning Sign

If a price seems too good to be true, it usually is. Genuine stock has a real cost.

Counterfeiters undercut the market to attract bargain hunters. So very cheap listings deserve extra caution.

That doesn’t mean every discount is a fake. Legitimate sellers run sales and bundle deals.

However, prices far below the normal range are a red flag. Compare prices across a few trusted stockists.

Where Fakes Usually Come From

Counterfeit IGETs tend to appear through certain channels. Knowing them helps you avoid them.

• Social media marketplace listings with no business details
• Anonymous messaging-app sellers
• Websites with no contact details or policies
• Sellers who refuse to show packaging or codes
• Listings with stolen or blurry product photos

In contrast, trusted stockists show clear contact details, policies and consistent branding.

What to Do if You Suspect a Fake

If you think your device might be fake, act quickly.

1. Stop using the device straight away.
2. Scan or photograph the security code again.
3. Take clear photos of the box and device.
4. Contact the seller with your order number.
5. If the result says fake, email IGET’s support team as advised.

Also, don’t charge a suspected fake. Poor batteries are the biggest safety risk.

Finally, dispose of it safely at an e-waste point. Our guide on how to dispose of vapes explains how.

A Walkthrough: From Delivery to First Puff

Here is how a careful check looks in practice. It takes only a couple of minutes.

First, inspect the parcel when it arrives. Genuine stock from us ships in plain, sealed packaging.

Next, look at the product box before opening the plastic wrap. Check the print, the spelling and the seal.

Then, find the security code. If it is an orange code, photograph it with IGET’s tool.

If it is a scratch panel instead, scratch it gently and scan the QR code. Afterwards, note the check count.

Once the result confirms genuine, open the box. Check the device for smooth seams and an even finish.

Finally, take your first puff. It should taste clean and match the flavour name.

If anything seems wrong at any step, stop. Contact the seller before going further.

How Counterfeiters Copy Security Codes

Understanding the tricks helps you beat them. Counterfeiters use a few common methods.

Mass-Copied Codes

The most common trick is copying one real code onto many boxes.

That is why the check count matters so much.

Fake Verification Sites

Some fakes print QR codes that lead to lookalike websites. These sites always report “genuine”.

Therefore, always navigate to IGET’s official site yourself. Don’t trust a QR code blindly.

Flat-Printed Scratch Panels

Some fake scratch panels are simply printed to look scratched. Genuine panels have a removable coating.

Recycled Boxes

Occasionally, sellers refill or repack old genuine boxes. The code may be genuine but already checked.

Again, the check count reveals this. A genuine new box should show a first check.

Authentication for Other Brands We Stock

IGET isn’t the only brand that faces counterfeits. Other popular brands use their own verification systems.

For example, ALIBARBAR packaging carries brand security features. The same visual checks apply.

Likewise, KUZ, Gazoo and JNR devices should arrive sealed with clean print.

In every case, the principles stay the same. Check the packaging, verify the code and buy from a trusted stockist.

Our ALIBARBAR vape guide covers that brand’s range in detail.

Authentication Myths

A few myths circulate online. Let’s clear them up.

Myth: A Heavy Device Is Always Genuine

Weight is a useful clue, but some fakes add weights to feel solid. So never rely on weight alone.

Myth: Genuine Devices Never Fail

Genuine devices can occasionally have faults, just like phones. The difference is proper support.

Myth: Scanning Once Proves Everything

A scan result means little without the check history. Always look at how many times the code was checked.

Myth: All Online Stores Sell Fakes

Plenty of trusted online stockists sell genuine stock. The key is checking business details and policies.

Keeping Your Receipts and Codes

It pays to keep your proof of purchase. Store your order confirmation email somewhere safe.

Also, keep the box until you finish the device. The code stays useful if you ever need support.

In addition, take a quick photo of the code and verification result.

That gives you a record if questions come up later.

How Official IGET Guarantees Genuine Stock

At Official IGET, authenticity is the whole point. We are your one-stop shop for official and authentic IGET products.

Read our authenticity guarantee for the full details. If any device fails verification, contact us straight away.

Plus, every order ships free and arrives in discreet packaging. Paying with crypto saves 15% at checkout.

Authentication Across the IGET Range

The verification process works across the current IGET range. That includes these popular devices.

• IGET Bar Pro 10000
• IGET One 12000
• IGET Bar Plus S3
• IGET Moon 5000
• IGET Soul B40000
• IGET Move B50000

Older sealed ranges may use the older QR system. Either way, the principle is the same.

Common IGET Authentication Mistakes

Even careful buyers make a few common errors. Avoid these.

Scanning a Random QR Code

Some fake boxes print a QR code that leads to a lookalike website. That site may always say “genuine”.

So always start from IGET’s official website. Then use the verification link it provides.

Ignoring the Check Count

A “genuine” message means little if the code was checked 200 times. Always look at the check history.

Checking Only After Using

Check the code before your first puff. If the result is bad, you can return it unused.

Trusting the Seller’s Word Alone

Anyone can claim to sell genuine stock. Verification gives you proof.

How to Spot a Fake IGET Website

Some fake products come from websites designed to look official. Watch for these signs.

• No ABN, business name or contact details
• No shipping, returns or privacy policies
• Prices far below every other stockist
• Poor spelling and inconsistent branding
• Payment only through unusual methods with no protection

Also, remember that a domain name alone doesn’t prove anything. Check the details behind the site.

Teaching Friends to Spot Fakes

Many people buy vapes on a friend’s recommendation. Sharing a quick check helps everyone.

So if a friend shows you a new device, look at the box together.

Then walk them through the code check.

In fact, most people have never heard of the three-check rule. Once they know it, they rarely get caught again.

Also, point them to trusted stockists rather than anonymous sellers. That protects their health and their money.

Genuine Stock and Warranty Support

Genuine devices occasionally have faults, just like any electronics. The difference is support.

When you buy genuine stock from a trusted seller, faulty items can be assessed and replaced.

Our returns and refunds policy explains how.

By contrast, fakes offer no recourse at all. That alone makes genuine stock worth it.

Why Authentication Matters for Rechargeable Devices

Rechargeable devices carry larger batteries. Therefore, battery quality matters more.

A genuine Bar Pro uses IGET’s specified 2000 mAh cell.

A fake may use an unknown cell with no protection circuit.

That is why we recommend verifying every rechargeable device before charging.

Our IGET Bar Pro charging guide covers safe charging habits.

Final Thoughts on IGET Authentication

Counterfeit IGETs are common, but they are also easy to avoid. A two-minute check protects you.

Start with the packaging and price. After that, check the seal and the device finish.

Then scan or photograph the security code using IGET’s official page.

Most importantly, buy from a stockist that stands behind its products. Browse our full genuine IGET range with confidence.
