Well it took some time but the counterfeiters have cracked the code on the Firefly 2 , and quite literally. Up until now bluetooth vaporizers have been safe from cheap knock offs. The closest the Chinese came to a successful run with counterfeiting a bluetooth vaporizer was with the PAX 3, diverting buyers to a different app they themselves created – hardly a success and easy to spot. The bluetooth feature made spotting counterfeits as easy as syncing your vape with your phone, and it made our job much easier, not having to constantly warn the unsuspecting consumer.

Years after the Firefly 2’s release the counterfeiters have managed to hack the app , permitting the fake devices to pair with the actual Firefly 2 app. What makes this more alarming is the timing and status quo. Given counterfeit Firelfy 2’s have not popped up until now and the uber popular vaporizer has been out since 2016 the assumption is there are no fakes of this model. Furthermore advice we have dimmsementated in the past said simply sync your device to the app, if it syncs , it’s legit.

However not all is lost, counterfeiters make an inferior product and sell it for much cheaper. Riddled with cheap components and corners cut, the counterfeit Firefly 2 vaporizer is easy to spot. Below are some simple steps to spot and avoid the fake Firelfy 2s altogether.
