A friend asked me about e-cigs and as usual i pointed them to AAEC,before they looked here they went to the market and bought 2 fake 900mah batteries,a disposable clearo and a usb charger lead all in a kit for £50,it's one place i won't be visiting.

The thing is Ego has just became a generic name for this type of battery. Most batteries around will not be genuine Joyetech, this doesn't necessarily make them bad batteries, some copies are better than others though!
What a shame your friend didn't pop on here first, still, hopefully this kit he has will work ok and get him started vaping or I suppose he could try to return it!

YorkshiremanOther than totally wicked stores... theres only 1 main shop in bradford and one in Keighley. The one in bradford does the ce4 ego blister kit plus x3 eliquids for £20 Not been in the Keighley one yet. The closest good one is VapeEscape but that is a treck n a half. At least they are fellow forum members and it has a good pub near by. I know of the leeds market one and it's 1 to stay away from. Theres so many 'corner shops' getting ecig stuff ive never heard of it's unreal. I don't like how everyone is jumping on the band wagon to rake the cash in now. This is where the dodgy eliquid starts appearing... I already found a shop in halifax selling fake t-juice.

Keighley Shop... looks like the Bradford one... mainly cheap ego kits and other stuff over priced.

Doesn't the one on Leeds market just sell branded TW gear (in which case they're probably decent quality egos, but overpriced)?

From what I heard from a vaper who works at the bus station (next door to the market) that one closed down and a new one took it's place trying to sell the cheap'o ecig stuff at tw prices.
