About China products

[Batu Tekin]

Hello to everyone
While visiting Aliexpress, we encounter many Chinese origin resistance wires and cotton. There are a lot of different products but which one is high quality? Do China products have a bad effect on health?

Have you thought about health?
Are there any quality control certificates?

For example: Are brands such as XFKM, Vapor Storm, Geekvape or Volcanee, good quality? Are the products reliable?

Without going into trying to answer your other questions:

1) Unless you're willing wait a long time to receive what you order, or pay a lot to get it quicker...I'd stay away from AliExpress sellers. Only items I ordered from a seller on there, took more than a month to get to me...even though the expected delivery time was stated as "12 - 20 days" and they were In Stock. They didn't even ship them until 5 days after I placed my order.

2) Of those wire brands you mentioned, the only one I'm familiar with and have bought/used from other vendors, is GeekVape.

Are products belonging to these brands a bad health impact? Is it quality? How can we trust?

99% of the vape manufactures are in China and 99% of the vape products on the market are from China.
Brands can not be used to determine quality. Each product produced by any manufacture may or may not have problems or issues. What are you asking or implying?

Never the less,
What are you wanting to buy? Brand/model/source?
What questions do you have about the product(s) you are considering?

Where are you located?

I'm not a fan of Ali Express, personally. I know for a fact that all of the AW batteries sold on that site are counterfeit. AW's battery plant stopped production nearly 2 years ago, and yet they are the only place in the world still selling "AW" batteries. Something smells fishy.

Fast Tech is a reliable Chinese vendor to purchase vape gear from. They sell both authentic and clone gear so be aware of how items are advertised as. Authentic gear will be labeled as "authentic"; clones will be labeled "like ---".

Basically, as far as vape brands, I'll suggest that you stay away from SMOK. They have a notorious reputation for putting out cheap, inconsistant quality gear of poor quality control, and have terrible customer service should you run into issues. "We make cheap. You buy cheap. It break. You buy another."

Of the brands you mentioned, Geekvape is a trustworthy and reliable manufacturer.

I don't think it is so much a bad health impact as it is a matter of overall quality of gear to be dependable and reliable. At the top of this page you'll find a heading of "Star Suppliers" approved by the administrators of this forum that you can trust as quality.

As far as what brands of gear to look for as a new vaper: Good Starter Setups for a Beginner Vaper

I live in turkey. The use of electronic cigarettes here is no problem but the sale of electronic cigarettes is illegal. Some people say that Chinese products will cause problems in terms of health, so we need to buy products like Temco and Cotton Bacon. I love china products. I just wanted to ask you.

Well, you might have a point there. China hasn't had the best reputation concerning health related products. Like toys still having lead-based paint. Who knows what toxins are sprayed on their cotton fields? Not to mention that China is the largest black market manufacturer of fentanyl and car-fentanyl for the illicit drug trade.

Tempco makes wire and cotton bacon is wick. (Rayon is better, IMO)

Millions of folks all over the world use Chinese tanks with Chinese coil heads made with Chinese wire and Chinese wick.
"Some people say" : Who are these people and what evidence do they have to support their position?
It sounds like a bit of social media racism...
IMO, It is best to ignore attention seekers on social media.

I am an outspoken Aliexpress fan. Stick to either official manufacturer ali stores, or sellers with a reputation above 97% and only buy products which have already been positively reviewed by lots of other users, and you're good. Common sense, really. And incredible bargains to be had. How long shipping takes, depends A LOT on where the store is located and what shipping method you choose. I had everything, a packet taking 5 days from CN to Germany, and a packet taking 3 months from Vietnam to Germany. And everything in between, while most of them will take about 14-21 days. I can live with that. I really love Ali.

XFKM, KeepRed, Volcanee, Coil Father.. those are "B" brands, meaning they supply cheap alternatives to expensive branded products. I for example have bought coils from CF, Volcanee and KeepRed before, to my satisfaction. Their products are not top-notch quality, but solid nonetheless. Good enough for me. The only thing I wouldn't buy from China, are liquids/flavors.

everything is made in china....

I know there are a few people here that use aliexpress, I however am not one of them... then again I always search for the best price (with shipping costs) before buying anything and usually that's either fasttech, 3fvape, efun, 101vape, eightvape (buy at your own risk, their customer service sucks but great deals as long as nothing is wrong with the product), breazy....which these are all pretty much chinese companies
you are always welcomed to ask here about an item before buying it..... with fasttech always check the reviews and discussions before buying

but as for buying from china, again lol everything is made in china..... and yes I know where you are coming from, my husband is from pakistan and they are completely against buying chinese products, I can't help but laugh at him.

also feel free to pm me if you like before you buy something, i'm sort of the search queen and I'll see to find you the best price on the item

I live in a world of prejudiced and ignorant people. That's why I'm bored. I'm constantly shopping on the internet. The products sold in Aliexpress are from china and have really nice and quality products for me. It's not just Aliexpress. Fasttech etc. china products are sold in many sites. You may not like a country (China), but I do not like those who underestimate the country with prejudice.

Sorry for my Lang*

and thank you Everyone^^

Uhm, no. None of the vape gear I use is made in China.

how many mod, tank, coil u use ? battery. wrapper, charger ? tool ? usb cable ?

Without China and the Far East generally, I wouldn't have a watch that actually keeps good time, a phone that actually works, two good electric guitars including one with an onboard computer, a computer to contact the world and probably would still be smoking.

I may not like particularly the way the world's economy has changed in my lifetime ... but I'm pragmatic enough to accept that I live in the real world, which has some good benefits.

I haven't personally used Ali Express, but that's only because I have a Fasttech account and a Heaven Gift's account and have never needed to go elsewhwere in the Orient to get what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay.

sellers with a reputation above 97%

Are there sellers with 100K+ items sold and reputation above 97%? Really? Do they fake the rankings on Ali now?

I believe it's not possible to have a 98% rep. on that scale of sales, even if you as a seller are doing everything to satisfy every client cause even if the post damaged the package - 1 star from your client, something was wrong with the item (manufacturer's issue) - 1 star from your client, even if he was refunded or received another brand new replacement item instead and so on.

For Ali I recommend to use the sellers with the most sales (rep. % is also important but 97%+ is a bit too high to look for). Just check the bad reviews from the last 3-6 months.

 

[Batu Tekin]

Seller ratings don't matter. My main purpose was to ask the general quality of the products made in China.
Thanks for the answers.

 

[dreamvaper]

general quality of the products made in China

Most of the vape related items we use are made in China. There are perfect ones, good ones and not so good ones too. Usually the price is the best parameter to understand the quality (in comparison to the similar items prices). Brand name, reviews are also important.

I've bought a lot of vape gear (surprise!) from China - or made in China - over the years and the only products that ever made me a bit leery were items made of brass or copper - specifically atomizers. I just don't trust the metal content of RDAs to be lead-free if I don't know the source. I stick to stainless steel, but even then you can't be 100% sure.

Regardless, I figure that inhaling smoke from burning tobacco leaves into my lungs is much more devastating to my health than the materials used in the manufacture of my vaping gear.

That's my rationalization, and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Rossum]

how many mod, tank, coil u use ? battery. wrapper, charger ? tool ? usb cable ?

I have about two dozen squonk mods, all made here in in USA.
I have about three dozen BF RDAs. Some made in the Philippines, some in Europe, some in USA.
No tanks in use, although I think I've still got a couple of German-made Kayfuns somewhere.

Reason: After the deeming regs were announced in almost five years ago, I decided I would only buy vape gear that would likely last a lifetime. Yes, it was expensive, but all of it still works, and I still spent less acquiring it over a period of years than I would have on my smoking habit.

Batteries: Japan and Korea.

My chargers are all Xtar. You got me there; those are made in China.

But the bottom line is: No, not everything is made in China.
