How to Spot Fake vs. Authentic Vape Cartridges

Counterfeit vape cartridges flood the market, and using them can be dangerous (think pesticides, heavy metals, or synthetic additives). At Luigi’s, we only carry licensed, lab-tested brands, but if you’re shopping elsewhere, here’s how to stay safe.

Check the packaging: Legit brands use child-resistant, professionally printed boxes with batch numbers and lab results (often via QR code). Avoid carts sold in plastic wrap or with spelling errors. Hardware quality matters too—authentic carts have sturdy construction and clean oil (no weird colors or separation).

When in doubt, buy from trusted retailers like Luigi’s. We verify every product’s origins so you don’t have to gamble with your health. Spot a fake? Report it and always prioritize safety over savings.
