Fake Stiiizy pen pods have recently been around. Shady vendors across the country try to sell them all the time. Here, we’ll show how to identify them as well as the name of the companies that are making fake Stiiizy carts. See our Stiiizy pen review for more information on the real thing.
Stiiizy pen pods are considered fake when it contains oil that was not made by the actual company. In China, companies make vape pods with Stiiizy branding, logos, and packaging. We are not sure if the real company is able to pursue any of the Chinese makers legally, because there might not be a trademark since technically Stiiizy is a federally illegal product. The same problem exists with fake Brass Knuckles cartridges. See our general post on fake cartridges for information on other brands.
Below is a brief video going over fake Stiiizy pods and below that is our more in depth guide to them.
The issue with spotting fake Stiiizy is that they look very similar to the real ones
Unlike fake brass knuckles, fake Stiiizy cartridges, they look exactly the same as the original one. Also, Stiiizy is currently in the process of changing and updating their packaging. The packaging makes it look cheap. But with that being said, the pods may appear to look, smell, and even taste the same. Stiiizy has tested dirty for benzene as shown on our vape pen pesticides and solvents test page, but it was only once for a small amount of benzene.

Key things to look for when identifying fake Stiiizy Cartridges
Misspelled words on the box
Obviously all lettering should be worded correctly. China is notorious for misspelling things and this is an easy thing to spot. Also, it’s an easy thing for them to fix, so this might not last forever.
Inaccurate THC percentages
It may be difficult to watch for this just because you’re not always going the know what the original THC percentage will always be. What we recommend is to contact them asking for the original percent of the strain that you have, they are fairly fast to respond. Also, make sure you are purchasing from an authorized retailer.
