A lot of Chinese manufacturers use authenticity codes hidden under a scratch-off panel. The authenticity code can be verified on the manufacturer's website; the website will confirm that the code is genuine and alert the user if it has been previously used. It's a cheap and reasonably effective method. http://blog.vapeclub.co.uk/how-to-check-your-vape-device-is-geniune/ http://blog.vapeclub.co.uk/how-to-check-your-vape-device-is-... http://www.skyrc.com/antifake/indexen.php http://www.skyrc.com/antifake/indexen.php http://sjcamhd.com/safe/ http://sjcamhd.com/safe/

That's neat, but it feels like it would work better with a trusted central authority. I guess there are a few reasons: 1. The central authority takes pressure of the manufacture to build a verification system. 2. They could provide a single unified interface to consumers. Single QR validation app etc. 3. They could help track a product though resales. Which maybe more in the consumers, rather than manufacturers interests. 4. They could proactively investigate counterfeit claims. Potentially across different product lines.
