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? Would you care to read what I wrote and not what you think I wrote?

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 ? 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 Thanks,that sounds better,i thought it was just an metal tube with some sort of texture blasted into it

Thanks, Perpetua. Not sure if I can resist. It's such a great price and the black one would be a good change. Go for it mate, for twenty odd quid its a bargain! I know a Vamo is the same price and it does exactly what it says on the tin, but this SID thingy does exactly the same without looking like a tribute to admiral lord nelson. I booked DHL cos my order was a hundred and odd quid, so another fiver was neither here nor there but then I got stung for customs, (albeit les than it should've been) but i think in hindsight that china post it would have sailed through as usual.

I ended up getting an Kayfun Lite instead from another vendor, poochops. I have been waiting for it to come back into stock and when it did I just had to get it as soon as I saw it. The sale is on until August 18th though so I still have time if they don't sell out.

I am sure we will save money in the long run though.... I think. My KFL arrived this morning. Now I just have to build it. I hope you enjoy yours too.

Got my goodies as well this week, including another SID . . . but it's a different colour so that's allowed. Now I'm not waiting on any Vapemail whatsoever. which colours did you go for ?

I've bought a Black & Silver from HC nurseygirl . . . then bought some 18350 tubes from Vaperus in Black & Purple, so that's me pretty well covered. Trying to ignore the white one that they still have in stock.

Two shopping opportunities instead of a measly one can only be a good thing.

Not for the bank balance lol This is very true . . . however having a very selective memory when it comes to stuff like boring old bank balances, is also something to cultivate Nurseygirl. Infact, if you spend your time shopping, then there's barely a moment to look at a bank statement. * I am joking of course and wouldn't recommend anyone to go into debt buying anything! *

My black SID has given up after a month. Can't get the screen options to come up and it's been misfiring. Tickets gone in but no reply as yet I hope my white one lasts a bit longer.

That's really sad, ckc I hope they sort things out for you. I had forgotten I had ordered a black SID. It arrived this morning and I didn't have a clue what it was. I like the feel of it. The texture is very different from the silver. I think hubby is now regretting not getting one too. I hope it lasts longer than a month.
