Not sure about vapefest but keep your eyes on all the classies, you may get lucky

Just gonna pop this into the Classies for you johnboy so anyone coming along wishing to sell will see it

They go up on classifieds and disappear almost instantly, they're in very high demand. Actually one showed up on UK Vapers yesterday and was sold at a loss, that's almost unheard of. As much as I love this forum, UK vapers classifieds is the best bet to keep an eye on, but be aware that most people sell them way over RRP and you have to be VERY quick

[johnboy]

O/K Girls but where do they come from and why are they in short demand.
Still getting to grips with all this, :-[

[johnboy]

Please what is the RR Price of these #attachment# #attachment#

[Ellen]

The RRP is about £72, but they can sell for well over £100 on classifieds
They are handmade by a man in Greece called Imeo. So they're not mass produced and are a collectors item, they also happen to be very high quality.

They go up for pre-order/sale on the UK suppliers page of Golden Greek products
goldengreek.co.uk/store/ every so often
and sell out very quickly. I heard that Imeo was going to keep taking pre-orders and supply the demand of everyone that wanted one. I'm not sure what the latest is on that as they're no longer on the Golden Greek UK website for sale/pre-order

Esme, Oneday, me and a couple of others got ours in the last round of sales from Golden Greek about 4 weeks ago

And I think somebody managed to get one from a European site? Was it the French one? Getting hold of one takes a bit of time and effort

At the mo £71, but none are for sale on the site

Ellen just a quicki What do you think of them????

Beautifully made, the best vape I've experienced in my short period of vaping. I do not regret the money mine cost me at all...but
Making wicks and coils is a learning curve and getting her set up was very frustrating at first. I had a lot of problems and buggered up a battery in the process. Esme also struggled a lot with hers. She wrote a great post about it here
allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=reviews&thread=9595&page=1#214474

Also watch this video to give you an idea what it's like to set one up
But be aware that the pre-made wire that comes with a new Penelope and is shown in the video will only make one coil, after that you have to buy your own wire and wick and make coils from scratch

It's worth keeping your eyes on E-smokeguru's website as well John, he'll supply to the EU and very often being based in Greece he has items ahead of Cam the UK GG Seller.

There's an English translation option available on his site.

My last order from him, took just 4 short days to arrive from Greece.

Johnboy.........if I may add my bit, if you can get her then I guarantee that you will not regret it. She is a thing of beauty as well as being built to last!!

Main advantages are that she gives excellent vapour and flavour, with making your own wick and coils, you're basically setting your own "comfort level" in vaping and the added advantage is you can save money, she's easy to maintain, all you need is wick, low resistance & high resistance wires for your ceramic.

I did have some difficulties in constructing, especially with the wick and wires, but blakey's excellent guide, which is a sticky in hints & tips will take you through it step by step

esmecullen, Thanks Pet but i am unable to find one, am going to Vapefest and hope I may be lucky, If you know of one (Cash Is Waiting!!!!!) #icon_cry# #icon_cry#

[esmecullen]

I hope you can get one johnboy

Hi John.

A Penny went up on UKV this morning and was gone in 3 minutes - it was going for £80 with a spare clear tank included. Very fair deal, hence why it was gone so quickly. :-[
