The cannabis vape market is flooded with counterfeit Dabwoods products. Fake Dabwoods are sold in vape shops, online marketplaces, and through unlicensed dealers across Europe and Australia. Learning to identify authentic products is essential for your safety.
Why Fake Dabwoods Are Dangerous
Counterfeit cannabis vapes are actively dangerous. Fake vapes have been found to contain vitamin E acetate (linked to lung injury), heavy metals from cheap hardware, pesticides and residual solvents above safe limits, and synthetic cannabinoids. There is no consumer protection for unlicensed products. The only way to verify what you’re inhaling is a Certificate of Analysis from a licensed third-party laboratory.
Certificate of Analysis — First Check
Every authentic Dabwoods product should have a CoA confirming: cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, residual solvents (ND), heavy metals (pass), pesticides (pass), and microbial contaminants (pass). At Dabwood Vape, all CoAs are available on our Lab Results page. No CoA from a seller = red flag.
Physical Authenticity Markers
The Wooden Mouthpiece
Authentic Dabwoods cartridges feature a real wood mouthpiece — not plastic. Genuine wood has visible grain and natural variation. If the tip looks uniform, unusually shiny, or feels like plastic, it is fake.
Packaging Print Quality
Genuine packaging uses high-quality print: sharp clear text, consistent colour saturation, precise holographic elements. Fake packaging has blurry text, colour inconsistencies, and poorly applied foils.
Oil Colour
Authentic distillate: clear to golden amber. Liquid diamonds: golden, slightly viscous. Live resin: amber to light brown. Red flags: pink, green, dark brown, or black oil. Unusually watery consistency.
