dragon You can choose either a 30 or 16s from the drop-down options

On fasttech? I'd rather get it from a European vendor since I'd have to have it sent to U.K. (customs is a killer here) So if something is wrong with it, it could be ages before I even know Been sussing the fasttech ones though, but if they have that kit, someone else will do them soon

Is it not worth taking the risk?  There are no duties to pay on goods less than 1150DKK, which is around $200.  So you'd only have the VAT to pay on the $45, making it 316DKK total, or £36 straight to you.  Still not a bad price in all honesty.  Although you could get it from a UK retailer for only £4 more admittedly.

Although Fasttech do mark their parcels as having essentially no value at all, so that should avoid all import dutes.

Duty is not charged if either the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed £135 or the amount of duty payable on any given item, does not exceed £9. Neither duty nor VAT is payable if the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed £15.

I am delighted you are enjoying your MVP, siffy

I wrote to FT yesterday about the Version 2 but I am still awaiting a response from them. It does seem as if they are sending out V2 judging by the comments though.

I am in the small club who isn't keen on the iClear30s too. I would much prefer the iClear16s with mine so I can pop them on something else.

[dreamylittledream]

I loathe the iclear30s too - mine leaked and flooded, the drip tip was wrong and the vape was too warm for me. I'm a protank kid though and the iclear is pretty much the antithesis of the vape you get from a BCC so that's probably why.

I do quite like the iclear16 too though so who knows.

I didn't like the iClear30 either ... I wanted to ... I tried ... maybe FFS's wobbly bit put me off

Truly adore the iClear16s though

I want an MVP2 ... don't need one ... I will wait til they do a kit with the 16s instead

dragon The latest reviews on Fastech confirm that they are now shipping the latest MK2 version of the MVP with 2 iClear 16s for £29.67

Idk where you got your info, but it is sadly wrong

Fasttech have to include an accurate invoice with my order to most Scandinavian countries(they know this already, and state it in their terms and conditions), and the limit here is around $14. We get a steep handling charge and pay 25% VAT on everything including the handling charge and postage. If the invoice is missing or suspect they will contact me directly for the invoice before releasing my parcel. Been there done it unfortunately, not with fasttech, but I have researched quite thoroughly and can see no way that any parcel from china won't get checked.

Basically the £30 MVP would end up costing me close to twice that

dragon Could you put my delivery address down at festtech then I will post it to you? I guess it would take ages but not sure if the £ saving outweighs the time to wait for it and not sure how much it would cost from here to you but I can look into it if you like??

That is really sweet of you . I have relatives in the UK, and Mum is coming across for Xmas, so I have options. I'm just wary of turning something into a hassle, when realistically I can get the same product in Europe for only about £10 more. They are only just released, so I will wait for the offer that is right for me (plus I really don't need another battery )

Your welcome dragon

[zeldamum]

Fasttech have updated the status of my order to dispatched and now showing the photo of the MVP package.

When it arrives I will confirm if its is the MVP2 or MVP.

Sorry, I got my info from here:  www.dutycalculator.com/help_center/Import-duty-taxes-when-importing-into-Denmark/

Assumed it was correct, and hence you would only pay the VAT at 25%, making it $57/£36.  But yeah, after doing the maths I realised it's only saving £4 against just getting it from the UK.  Sorry.

"When importing goods into Denmark, duty is not charged if the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed DKK1150. Neither duty nor VAT is payable if the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed DKK80. "

Think it is confusing that they talk about duty which is not VAT (not sure what it is), and wish the customs office read their own rules, because they charged me for postage .... If the value of the goods is over 80DDK then the handling charge is 160DDK and you get to pay the 25% on that as well because they are B¤#$&@s!

I'm not going to do that math, but the MVP would cost me at least £50 if I order it from fasttech without using a middle man

[xs2man]

Ouch. That is pretty grim. Yeah, cheaper buying from somewhere more local then. Bloody customs...

We will all keep a look out for you dragon, as soon as they hit the uk stores with the 16's one of us will give you a shout.

[sammy13]

Ok I have just had a thought dragon
The I-clear 16 is cheaper than the I-clear 30.
Could you not email the vendor siffy bought from or any other who may be cheaper, and ask them to switch it???
