How I Bought a Fake RELX 5 Phantom for RMB 180

On December 8, 2020, RELX officially released its fifth-generation product, Yuexiu Mirage, and officially went on sale on December 15 of the same year.The unique 4-grid graduated power lamp design on the Yueshi Phantom body can display the remaining power and charging progress at any time. Coupled with its upgraded leak-proof performance, the Yueshi 5th generation quickly became Yueshi's main seller in the market.

The official pricing of Yuexie Fifth Generation is 268 yuan per set, but the Fifth Generation has been out of stock. Many shop owners pick up goods at a ratio of 1:3 or even 1:4 (four generations are matched with one Fifth Generation). With the popularity of Yuexie Fifth Generation, related imitations are gradually emerging in the fake market.
?
Someone did not hesitate to find informal channels in order to get the goods, but stepped into a trap. Moreover, this person was also an e-cigarette practitioner, so he introduced the whole process to us.
?
According to the party concerned, he purchased the Yueshi fifth-generation product through WeChat online channels and spent 180 yuan. However, the goods are very different from the authentic products.
?
First of all, from the packaging, the production date and the printing of the anti-counterfeiting mark are inconsistent with the authentic product. The font size is too large and the color is too dark. More importantly, the printing of the anti-counterfeiting code of the product purchased by the party concerned is very different from the authentic product. There are also differences between the code coating and the authentic product. The materials used for the coating are inconsistent with the authentic product.
?
For the goods themselves, Yueshi Mirage uses the type-C standard interface for input and has been deepened and reinforced. However, the quality of the interface purchased by the party concerned is obviously not as good as the authentic product. Compared with Yueshi first-generation products, the theoretical charging efficiency of the fifth generation should be increased by about 30%, but the charging efficiency of the goods in the party's hands is far lower than the normal speed of Yueshi fifth-generation.# p#pagination title #e#
?
However, the surface sandblasting process that Yuexie has always regarded as a selling point is not reflected in this "suspected imitation". Just by the touch of the hand, you can find that it has a great roughness, which is a huge difference compared with the authentic Yuexie.
?
In terms of feeling of use, the product in the party's hands also has the defects of inability to keep up with the power, inconsistent feedback from the internal motor, and certain differences in the amount of steam and suction from the authentic brand. The independent pressure relief hole design added to the bottom of the fifth-generation atomizing rod is designed to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the atomizing rod. However, from the appearance alone, it is also different from the official data.
?
Generally, most of the products purchased from online channels are scratched-code products, which leads to certain discounts in price, but it also increases the difficulty of safeguarding rights and the difficulty of official intervention.
?
After communicating with the purchase channel, the party concerned did not receive a corresponding reply or reasonable compensation. The other party still did not even admit that it was a fake replica and clamored that the party concerned could call the police.
?
At present, the party concerned has reported the imitation to Yueshi official website and is waiting for a reply from Yueshi official.
According to Article 2 of the Tobacco Monopoly Law: "Tobacco monopoly goods as mentioned in this Law refer to cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, recured tobacco leaves, cigarette paper, filter rods, cigarette tow, and tobacco special machinery. Cigarettes, cigars, cut tobacco, and recured tobacco are collectively referred to as tobacco products."
?
According to the above definition, e-cigarettes cannot be recognized as tobacco in our country because they do not contain any tobacco products. This leads to the fact that the rights protection and punishment provisions for counterfeit tobacco products in the Tobacco Monopoly Law are not applicable to e-cigarettes.# p#pagination title #e#
?
At present, for consumers, the basis for safeguarding the rights of counterfeit e-cigarettes can only rely on the relevant provisions of the Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law and other regulations.
?
Today, with the rapid development of the e-cigarette industry, there are still large gaps in relevant laws. But there is no doubt that the next one to three years will be a critical moment for the standardization and market-oriented development of the domestic electronics industry.
