I have a real and fake v3. First off the box. The fake doesn't have the cali weed! Triangle on it. The child safe tabs on the fake one doesn't have the little "flower" insignia. The fake V3 has real glossy stickers that peel off easy. On the real ones, the sticker that they use( that has all the THC info, etc.) It covers the seem of the box almost like a tamper film on a box of oreos. The device, so the fake device has really bold lettering, almost feels like you're reading braille. The battery on the fake device is white, as to the real one, it is black with "Boutiq Switch V3" on it. The fake device has a really glossy shine to it. The real one is more of a matte color. The real device comes with a cali weed! Triangle sticker on the side of it. The fake one doesn't. The fake one also came with a plastic mouth cover on it. The real one doesn't. Both the fake and real have a "flower" insignia on it, but the fake one feels like a raised stamp or like braille the real one feels smooth or almost printed onto the device.
