Genuine vs Fake Alibarbar: How to Check Your Vape
Alibarbar's popularity in Australia has made it a target for counterfeiters. Fake devices are built without the brand's quality control, so you cannot know what is in the e-liquid or how the battery was made. Most fakes can be spotted with a careful look, though. Here is what to check before you use an Alibarbar.
Buy from a seller you can trust
The most reliable protection happens before you order. Buy from a stockist that sources through authorised channels, lists real contact details and answers questions. Be wary of prices far below everyone else's, listings with blurry or borrowed photos, and sellers who cannot tell you where their stock comes from.
Check the box
A genuine Alibarbar box has sharp, even printing with crisp logos and correctly spelled text. The colours should be consistent and there should be no smudging. The packaging should be sealed, usually with shrink wrap, and should not look opened and resealed. Check that the model, puff count and flavour on the box match the device inside.
Check the batch code
Each genuine Alibarbar carries a batch code that should match between the device packaging and the shrink wrap. A missing code, a code that looks like a sticker added afterwards, or codes that do not match are all red flags.
Check the device
Out of the box, a genuine Alibarbar feels solid, with clean seams and a firm mouthpiece. On models with a screen, such as the Ingot 9000, Ingot 15000 and Ice Adjust 12000, the display should light up clearly. The first puffs should taste clean and match the flavour on the box. A burnt or chemical taste straight away, or a brand-new device that leaks, means you should stop using it.
If you think you have a fake
Stop vaping it and contact the seller with photos of the device, the box and the batch code. If you bought from us and something does not look or taste right, contact us with your order ID and we will look into it immediately.
