Perhaps we can do a mini co-op when they are released, it would probably cost no more to post if you ordered 10.

[Greigster]

Just had another look at the site and the Ver.1 ceramic holder/ceramic/centre pin is 9.9euro to buy and 9.9euro standard postage so buying several Ver.2 should not be any more than 9.9euro postage then perhaps £1 per person to post within the UK, but perhjaps Perps could advise on the viability of this.
Just an idea!

[Perpetua]

They wouldn't go Large Letter Greigster, the atomiser is too fat for RM's niggardly template thingy, get a bit of bubble wrap round them and a padded envelope as well.

So it would be at least £2.70, plus for an item of that value it would be safer sent Recorded Delivery, so you're looking at just under £4.00 for UK delivery.

Personally I don't think there's a great deal to be gained, unless you can buy them at source. Which we've never been able to discover.

[Greigster]

Perps, I made my own 25mm. template and just tried the Terminator ceramic holder etc in a padded jiffy and it goes through with room to spare. I just hate the thought of perhaps 10 people paying a total of 99euros when we could do it between us for perhaps less than £20 using re-using used jiffy bags.

[Greigster]

Ah Perps,Sorry but I probably didnt make myself very clear, my idea was just for the ceramic holder and bits, not for the Ver.2 Nautilus. Just a cheaper way for us to upgrade our existing kit from Ver1 to Ver2, as Vapor-freak seems to be suggesting that Ver2 spares will also be available from April

9 euros to send something that small is ridonkculous!

I hate it Lew, I so begrudge paying a company so much for postage although it could be the mail company, Royal mail would want £7.85 signed for to Germany or £2.70 un-tracked. I don't care which of the two charging that much but if I can save a shilling, I will.

Good idea, i'd go for that & pay up front if someone decides to take it on.

[Greigster]

Just checked the shipping costs for 10 Ver.1 (cant imagine that Ver.2 would differ much in weight) and it still costs the same 9.9 euros.
I would be quite happy to take it on when they have been released subject to advice from the mods as to how I would go about it.

Ah, got you Greigster . . . I don't mind taking it on as I've access to folks addresses and a lot of you probably have my payment details already. If anyone is interested and hasn't filled in Macca's Postage & Payment form, then if they could that would be helpful.

I'll leave you to start an interest thread on our Co-op Buys Board, monitor it and give me a heads up when they're available. I'd like some myself.

Might just be worth contacting VF first before doing anything, to check if they are going to limit purchase numbers though. I'd hate to get everyone's hopes up, only to dash them if they do have that restriction.

[Greigster]

Thanks Perps, you are a star.
I will do a bit of "contacting them" over the next couple of days.

[Greigster]

Have sent Vapor-Freak a message via their "Contact Me" form asking for information regarding any limits on the number of ceramic/holder/centre pin Ver.2 spares and will update thread as soon as I hear back.

[Perpetua]

Great stuff Greigster.


I've a feeling these could be popular, especially if they fit the V1 Odysseus  . . . so they might just limit the quantities we could buy at one time.


Fingers crossed they don't.
