finding authentic kanger coils & tanks

[pantoporos aporos]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to vaping, and am a bit confused about who's selling authentic vs fake Kanger products.

First, I see two websites claiming to be Kanger's: szkanger(dot)com and Kangeronline(dot)com. Anyone know what the deal is? Are both legit? Is one the corporate site and the other their web store?

I bought a mini protank 2 from a web shop with a presence here in this forum (with their own sub forum, in fact) and who sells a lot of cloned items that are clearly marked as clones. Unfortunately, looking at Shenzhen Kanger's website, I do not see them as an authorized distributor. Looking for replacement coils, I saw that this store sells 1.5, but not 1.8ohm coils. Both websites claiming to be Kanger's list 1.8 coils as the lowest for the mini protank.

Browsing these forums, I found another shop that links to Shenzhen Kanger's website as proof that they sell authentic stuff, and they are indeed listed as a distributor. This shop sells 1.8 coils, not 1.5..

Was I ripped off by the first store? Should I suspect the batteries and tank I've bought?

I really don't want to mess around with clones, both for ethical and for safety reasons. Don't want exploding batteries or tanks with lead or other heavy metals leeching into the juices...

I have never seen 1.5 ohm PT2 coils, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

When I used those style of tanks I always bought from SunVapers. They are a Kanger dealer and don't sell counterfeits-

Kanger Protank eVod atomizer coils for $4.99

Don't know anything about the sites you listed...

Thanks for those links! I might buy new tanks and batteries just to be safe.

I get Kanger single coils for our Evods and Protank Mini 2s from either Sun Vapers or Mt. Baker Vapor. I trust both sites to supply genuine Kanger products, and I have not been disappointed with the quality of anything I have purchased from either of these vendors.

If you visit SHENZHEN KANGER TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD on the bottom of the page there is a place you can check the code on the box your items came in.

Im really suprised to see more people here not supporting the people who support their site. I.e. mt baker. I was using them for their juice before i came here, they are great and easy to deal with and you are getting legit products. Plus supporting the forum by showing them their advertising dollar is well spent.

You know... I've got one of them. Just one. I have no idea where it came from. lol

That's a good point. The store I originally bought from is a site supporter as well, I think, but its good to keep this in mind when making future purchases.
