I guess I'm going to have to buy a Screwdriver, and it seems to make sense to buy the MK1 with BOGOF. The thing is, and I know this has been asked before, where is the best and cheapest and fasted place to buy the batteries and charger from? Seems that since I started this 'Figgy' business, I have a house full of adapters and chargers and none of them seem to be compatible with each other. I have a charger form FL that doesn't seem to work at all (must let them know) and I have one from another supplier, whose name escapes me completely, that will only charge 14500 unprotected batteries, and of course they are good for nothing until I send my GD box mod back to get sorted. I also have a pair of 14500 protected batteries that fit nothing and that can' t be charged..(because the LF charger isn't working. any more.) I have a USB/mains adapter that won't support my pass-through and a car/USB adapter that does nothing much beyond making a little red light glow.. So my house has acquired all sorts of stuff that will only work in theory ....
The Screwdriver is calling me but is it sustainable???
I will NOT smoke again..

If you're buying the MkI Lynne, why don't you plump for Trog's batteries and charger? That way at least you'll be sure that everything's compatible.I know what you mean about the chargers - I have oodles of the things lying about the place!! Fox

lynwit, ragjoy here, i dont know if you want 2 of them,maybe you want to sell one. my wifes getting the hike with hers,and its nearly battery and attie time we think. dont know how you would work it,but if you got the batteries charger and set of atties from trog we would be a charger short. if they come from dx we could just order our own. to be honest 4 batteries 4 atties and the charger for £40 with p+p which you probaly wont have to pay for 2 lots aint bad. i will say that the only thing that puts me off the mk1 is it dont state if it comes with a switch cap,to me that is essential. oh we use 901 atties so that might mess it all up,and ive not asked the boss yet whether she wants a screwdriver.........i MIGHT just get a slap LOL

The Nano charger will do both Mk1 and Mk2 batteries - sadly DX don't do the Mk 2 batteries, but you can get them very cheaply here: www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=5319BUT remember these are for the Mk 2 (from Totally Wicked) ONLY they won't fit the Mk 1 SD from trog

There is now a 4 day wait for dispatch of new SD BOGOF orders as they are very busy.
So if you order your batteries and chargers from China they should arrive within 2-3 days after your SD but there is no guarantee you will get them that quickly.
If you are in a hurry to try it then Trog is the quickest .

Well, I've ordered it. Thanks for all the advice. I've ordered the 901 version and have ordered the batteries and charger from dealextreme. I reckon I can do patience for a while..lol Raggie, if you decide that you want one of mine then let me know but don't worry if your wife doesn't want it. I'm sure it won't go to waste. Lynda

Lol, I was thinking of giving in & ordering Trog's BOGOF SD's & seeing if anyone wanted to go halves.

Slightly irrelevant, but the 901 to 510 adapter and 510 atties from Trog, work perfectly with the MkII SD. Just thought it worth a mention as TW don't (or didn't) sell adapters. Fox

I don't know if I've thrown in my support or not - but my MkI is very sturdy, and I highly recommend you get a neck lanyard, which I believe Trog has started supplying but you can get them very cheap on eBay. You'll just be buying atties and batties and juice, and maybe an adapter or two if you fancy different types of vape. scylla

TW sell the lanyard for £2.99 plus postage (less 5% if you use a code). I'm not certain they sell spare button caps however.
