Yeah, that's the downside. I hate to advocate for a single brand, but I bought a Volcano knockoff once and it was terrible, the bag it came with melted when I tried to use it, and the whole thing died after only a couple of months. By contrast my current one has been going for I think like 7 years now (I had to replace a switch recently, but it's otherwise working just fine).
