If you typically do not buy your vapes from a verified retail store, you’re most likely buying fake products over the counter. Nonetheless, some legitimate stores still carry counterfeit vapes and sell them for the price of originals. So, it is imperative that you know how to tell a fake vape when it’s presented to you, in this case, the Foger Switch Pro 30k.

Being a popular and best-selling disposable, the Foger Switch Pro 30k has many fakes out there, both in design and in name. You need to be careful which one you buy; you don’t want to spend money on fake products because they taste horrible. In today’s article, we will explain how to spot a fake Foger Switch Pro 30k vape, and to ensure you never end up with a fake, we recommend stores that sell only genuine vape products, so you can buy from them.

Why is the Foger Switch Pro 30K Popular?

Honestly, that disposable needed to be as popular as it is, because why shouldn’t it? The two-chassis design is a lifesaver, whereby you only need to buy the battery unit once, and then you can keep swapping the flavor pods whenever you’re out. Also, the Foger Switch Pro 30K is pretty much a high puff count disposable—promising up to 30k puffs? That’s a high number, inarguably.

The Foger Switch Pro 30k flaunts an alluring design that makes an instant appeal. Both the battery unit and the pod unit attach and detach magnetically—straightforward. So, there are quite many reasons to love this disposable; oh, including its flavor varieties, which provide you with over 20 unique choices.

This is a vape for first-time vapers and pro vapers; the dual mesh coils ensure you get the same flavor density with the last puff as in the first. Finally, this disposable is powered by a total of 1050mAh battery, and it comes with overcharge protection. Now, you can really see why it’s a popular choice in the market.

Are There Fake Foger Switch Pro 30K Disposables?

Yes, there are.

The Foger Switch Pro's popularity in the market has birthed different fake variations trying to copy the two-chassis design and aesthetics. The market has seen Foger Switch Pro counterfeits that are quite low-effort clones that just look similar, as well as pretty quite sturdy vapes that mimic the packaging and labeling style of the Switch PRO. However, the sad part is that most of these counterfeits deliver an awkward flavor taste. 

How to Spot a Fake Foger Switch Pro 30K Vape?

Popular disposables started getting widely mimicked and dubbed, which has pushed OEMs to integrate product verifications for their original models.

So, many original vapes now carry a QR code or a unique alphanumeric identifier for authentication and verification. Foger isn’t left behind in this approach to fighting fakes, and so the Switch Pro 30k disposable has a unique identifier for verifications.

If you suspect you’re about to be sold, or just sold a fake Foger Switch Pro vape, all you need do is to look out for the following:

1. Examine the Packaging; Look Out for Deviations

Most times, these fakes give themselves out in their packaging; it’s either the packaging would have a noticeable defect, blurred words or logo, or very poor print quality. So, look out for these trade-offs. Also, look out for intentional typos in the brand name or descriptions written on the packaging.

Finally, look closely at the name of the product and make sure FOGER is written correctly; fakes may come off as FOGRR (notice the double “RR” instead of “ER”), and check if you can spot any security code on the packaging (original products have a security label in the form of a QR code or scratch to reveal code.

2. Check for Security Codes

 

As mentioned earlier, genuine Foger products include a scratch-to-reveal QR code on their packaging; it looks very much like the screenshot shown above. So, you have to scratch the cover to review the QR code gently, then you should scan it on the official FogerTech website.

To find the verification link on the FogerTech website, when you visit the website’s homepage, scroll down to the bottom (towards the footer section), and there, you will find the verification portal. So, enter the security code you found on the vape’s packaging here, and if the unit is not genuine, you will see that from here. Make sure to enter the code correctly; a wrongly entered security code will still return the product as fake even if the product is genuine.

3. Don’t Buy an Unpackaged FOGER Switch Pro or One with Broken Packaging

If a Foger Switch Pro is not concealed in a pack, do not buy! Genuine Foger Switch Pro vape (whether it is the battery unit or the disposable pod unit) comes in a packaged box. If you are sold one in, maybe, a transparent Ziploc bag, there’d be no way to verify the authenticity (because the security code to do that is printed on the packaging, not the product itself).

That said, never buy an unpackaged Foger Switch Pro, it could be fake, and there’d be no way to verify that, except, maybe, when you hit the vape and it doesn’t feel or taste like the genuine ones you’ve had beforetime. Similarly, don’t buy a Foger Switch Pro device with broken packaging or one that does not have a security code label on the packaging. These are all subtle ways the fakes are shipped.

4. Unbelievably Cheap Price

Unless it is a vetted retail store, you know, that’s doing a massive discount sales event (just as EightVape does from time to time), if you find a store or seller trying to sell you the Foger Switch Pro 30k disposable for less than $14.00, it’s most likely not an original one. The Foger Switch Pro 30k vape costs from $17.00 to $21.00, depending on the store and location. Usually, when prices are too good to be true, then they are—not good.

Where to Buy the Real Foger Vapes?

Honestly, the Foger Switch Pro isn’t a scarce disposable like the Geek Bar Pulse X 25K, so you can find it in pretty many stores nationwide, both local stores and online stores. However, we can vouch for us – EightVape – as one of the genuine stores you can trust to always sell you original vape products at the best possible competitive prices. VapingLand is yet another genuine store to buy your vapes.

Also, we offer multiple discount coupons, membership bundle deals, and a lot more cost-saving deals for vapers who shop with us. The Foger Switch Pro 30k disposable is available in store for $19.88 (for the complete two-chassis bundle).

Why is my Foger Switch Pro 30k Tasting Horrible?

If you’re getting poor flavor from your Switch Pro, chances are that the unit is defective from the manufacturer, or sadly, you may have just bought a counterfeit unit. Nevertheless, we won’t downplay the possibility of the poor taste being a result of expiration or poor storage of the vape.

That said, if you’re sure you bought a genuine unit (and you also were able to verify it on the FogerTech website), then the horrible flavor could be a manufacturer's defect; try reaching out to the vape store you bought the vape from, and hear what they have to say.

FAQ

Can the QR Code Be Faked?

Certainly, it can. But you know what can’t be faked? The verification on FogerTech’s website. If the QR Code is fake, when you scan it, you won’t be redirected to the official FogerTech’s website for validation of the revealed security code. So, always make sure to verify the QR code through the brand’s official verification portal (here).

Can the Foger Switch Pro Pod Unit be Refilled?

No. While the battery unit is reusable over and over again, the pod unit is disposable. The moment you exhaust the prefilled juice, you’re to dispose of the pod and get a new one. Yes, the Foger Switch Pro pods are sold individually, and there are many flavors to choose from.

Is the Foger Switch Pro Battery Pack a Power Bank?

Even Foger's official website calls it a “Power Bank,” but don’t get carried away by that marketing gimmick. The Foger Switch Pro battery unit can only be used with the Foger Switch Pro 30k disposable pod; it cannot be used to power or charge any other device whatsoever. So, it’s not an actual power bank as you may have thought when you read that marketing ploy.
