Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

having trouble sorting through all the pages to get to a site that isn't sold out / unavailable to order from Jacky Lin. Any help?
Click to expand...

Sometimes the web site "stores" on AliExpress show products as unavailable. I've seen that happen before. Also, Jacky sometimes has products available one day and not the next. I was online chatting with him a week or so ago and he was not going to be offering the Vapor Pro any longer.

I'm not sure if that is still the case, but I ended up ordering a e13ctron S4 Pro from him. It is also a very nice case that fits great.
 
wow, not offering it! big move. after I got mine, it still boggles me that these are knockoffs. I cannot beleive that there is a solid piece of machined aluminum setup in china, this would have to be a big shop, with specialized equipment for a limited market. I think, from looking at the packaging, that these are actually made for element! look at the price, they can make a product for 23 dollars SHIPPED, why not just get them to make your product and make hugh profits?

if it was just the case in a plastic bag, I might beleive they are knockoffs, but to manufacture the box, sleave, screwdriver, cards etc etc..... impossible.
 
Heres the Vapor Pro Black Ops with Orange LuckyLabs Wrap. I am not sure if I love it yet or not. The case now fits too tight with the wraps, I am afraid to fully screw in the screws as im afraid something will snap, mainly the RF plastic insert.

Enjoy


 
Not bad WM... I have a white iP4s with olympic blue spectra wrap. I ordered a white Vapor Pro knock off from willcases. I'm in for a decent long wait because of the chinese new year holiday, but for $22, what the heck. I am looking forward to seeing my combo put together.

It's good to see someone else combine the wraps with the aluminum bumper. From what I hear, these knock offs generally fit loose, so I was hoping the spectra wrap would make it a bit more snug. Sounds like it has.
 
Nope, I could not rest until I see what the black and orange hybrid Lucky Labs looked like. Im happy with it now. Heres the pics. ENJOY


 
I just went to the link I had for the Simmon and Cindy store. I thought I would get an order put in since the holiday is about over. They are charging 21.00 for shipping. Anyone have a better store for me to check into.

I was finally able to pick up my Red Vapor Comps from Jacky Lin today. Before I was going to order the Black Ops, but I just couldn't resist the color of the red and I really wanted to try the new Comp.
The package was wrapped carefully in cardboard and in bubble wrap.
The quality of the aluminum is great, feels very precisely cut and nice in the hands. To my surprise, the plastic piece on the Comp is also made of very good quality and looks very nice. However, the color is a little off on the plastic piece, it's a bit more neon colored on my red Comp. You can see the difference in my picture below. I would suggest perhaps trying the silver or the blue one for better colors. Anyways, it doesn't really bother me at all as the case feels awesome! Fitment is very good, unless i intentionally try to apply pressure on odd angles it fuzzes a bit but no big deal here. The back sticker is super easy to install and fits perfectly. It feels amazing although it tends to collect a bit of dust. Very impressed with this case, I would definitely recommend it!

Just received my Black Ops today from Jackie Lin. The fitment is amazing and the quality great as well!! Definitely well worth the wait. I think i'm going to order a few more cases soon. :D
 
Does the fake black ops come with a screen protector?
Or can someone recommend one?

I been using the life pro for a few months now so this is the only case I used that will need a protector.

thx.... skull
 
i had an interesting thing happen when i tried to order one, and my payment method wasn't verified. not sure if i'm ever going to trust these sites ever again.

One thing id like to note about the vapor pro and the lucky labs wraps, they don't work together. When you tighten down the 4 screws that hold the case together, there is pressure points, where the black bumpers inside sit. Over a day or so this will bend and wrinkle the wrap in those locations. its noticable in the case openings.

No issue here with the lucky labs wrap and the Vapor Pro's...

The Vapor Pro inner pads may need more time to compress and give a better fit...
 
Read through most of the thread and didn't see a picture of the Vapor Pro in black or silver on a White iPhone :confused:. Does anyone have a picture they could share? Having trouble deciding on what to order :)

The finishing is a bit tad bad for my case.
The finish is not consistant. Front side is very bad while the back side is perfect. Fitting is perfect though

I'm in the mist of asking for refund. What is the reasonable % of refund should I ask for? 50%? or more?

Some update about my case.
I had filed a dispute but too bad the seller rejected my dispute outright. They replied me by saying I am buying a "High Copy" case and dont expect the quality as good as Original Element case.

Direct quote from the seller: "The price of original Vapor Comp is $99.99. The price you paid on our store is 23.16USD include shipping cost. Obviously, it has a large difference on price. About the quality, coz it is high copy, and it is made of metal, it is normal that there is a little rough on its surface, it needs many procedure to make all of them be glossy ,and make it be perfectly same like original, the cost will be very very high. And its price will not be $23.16. So pls understand, my friend."
I dont think most of you will buy the bulls**t the seller said.

My cousin recently brought Vapor Comp Silver color from another aliexpress seller. His case was perfect finishing. I attached the photos of my cousin case and ask for why other sellers from Aliexpress can had a perfect finishing case why not hers? She doesn't replied since then (19 Jan)

Now I had escalated to aliexpress Meditation team. Will update later.

I also dont want to expose the identify of the seller yet. But anyone who want to know can PM me. I will tell through PM rather than here since my case is still in progress.

So you bought a cheap counterfeit case and it turned out to be crap? My heart bleeds for you.
 
I got the Black Ops from Jacky Lin a few weeks before. Shipping took longer for me since I ordered during the holidays.

Anyways about the case: It had some wiggle room at first but after applying a Lucky Lab wrap, it fitted fine. I do have to warn that the black paint on the bumper is very scratchable. It's not that noticeable unless you examine it closely.

Another flaw this case has is that the volume buttons are a bit difficult and hard to press. And it's not like I have humongous fingers. So that takes awhile to get use to it. That's probably the original designer's fault though. I might consider getting a Vapor comp because of that. But other than that, this bumper is pretty good for the price I paid for. I would have never gotten the $140 bumper but at $23; it's a good deal.

I'll post pictures if anyone is interested; Black OPS bumper/Sea Blue Trunket Skin/Burgundy Red Lucky Labs Wrap.

Which seller did your cousin get his/her case from? I was going to pm about your seller but for some reason I can't. Maybe it's because you don't have enough posts or you disabled it?
 
I ordered a white vapor pro from caseswill.com - still waiting for it to ship of course. I am not expecting it to ship for another week, and then probably 2 more weeks before it comes in. The 5% off was a nice gesture. If it doesn't work out, so be it. I'll post pics when it comes in.
 
Replica element cases with engraved logos

I thought the only way you could tell the difference between the real and replica vapor pro cases were the engraved logos. I know my cases have to be replicas since I bought them do cheap but the logos look laser engraved. So how can you really tell the difference. It's obvious with the black ops but not with the vapor pro spectra I have. Even the black ops case logos were engraved on mine. Not just painted on.
