That would be good if they do Karma . . . I don't have either of those, so the purchase was absolutely essential. I bought a Purple and a Black 18350, so that should ring the changes with the Black and Silver 18650's I've got. That's it now, no more spending. I know the SID's are made of aluminium and I wondered if the silver turns black where you hold it etc ? That's why I opted for the black and white but I could probably go for a silver one as well if they don't oxidise ? Anyone ?

Bummer, just been stung for £16 duty on my order, first time that's happened since buying from China Doh! Still worked out at 60% saving for me though so I can't complain really. I think anything shipped DHL is at a much higher risk tbh, so it's worth bearing in mind when ordering my DHL delivery has also copped an £11 customs charge aswell , got an automated phone call asking me to settle up

I think anything shipped DHL is at a much higher risk tbh, so it's worth bearing in mind when ordering DHL, UPS, FEDEX; they will all deliberately present parcels for duty collection and charge you for the 'service' on top of the duty. Nice little scam for them. The normal post, slower, usually avoids that.

Are you for real? It's not the couriers fault the tax man wants his share is it! The charge is excessive yes, why not refuse to pay the ridiculous fee but pay the tax and see what happens?

I know the SID's are made of aluminium and I wondered if the silver turns black where you hold it etc ? That's why I opted for the black and white but I could probably go for a silver one as well if they don't oxidise ? Anyone ? Don't know is the answer from me Ckc, I've had no problems with mine. But I've not had it that long or used it a great deal. I'd think it will also depend upon your skin type . . . some folk just seem to have a greater reaction/effect on metals than others. Hopefully you don't. Bummer, just been stung for £16 duty on my order, first time that's happened since buying from China Doh! Still worked out at 60% saving for me though so I can't complain really.

It seems HC use them if certain items have been ordered maybe? The one consolation is that unlike Parcelforce they don't charge an outrageous £8 ' handling charge '.

Hi ckc the aluminium is sprayed in silver paint with a slight texture to it, looks very nice and won't tarnish obviously, cos it's paint

In the past I have ignored Healthcabin because of long wait for orders to arrive. My attitude has now changed, towards them, because.. goods ordered on 20th july....arrived by " slow boat "...TODAY Sorry, can't stop. Off to place another order.lol.

I've had my silver SID for about 2.5 months and there is no sign of wear on it yet. However, I got a long tube and a short tube when I bought mine and I interchange them. The SID in short mode is very light and convenient to carry about. I love it and very tempted to get another in black. Does the SID sold at Health Cabin only come with the 18650 battery tube?

I've certainly only seen that option on there when I bought mine Kailey, but Vaperus sell the Evic Tubes that also fit the control head. www.vaperus.ie/mod-tubes/349-evic-body-duo.htmlwww.vaperus.ie/mod-tubes/289-evic-body.html

Thanks, Perpetua. Not sure if I can resist. It's such a great price and the black one would be a good change.

I don't order from HC often but a friend does, he has had orders in 7 days (usually 10-14days) using the cheapest shipping but things tend to go pear shaped on Chinese holidays, especially new year and it usually takes two weeks or more to get back to normal.
