A certain vendor we all know and hate put the new Aspire carbon fire sub ohm battery and the Atlantis on pre-order for 30 quid each (plus another 14 for 5 extra heads).
Since they're always overpriced, does anyone know of a UK pre-order, preferably one that doesn't need PayPal, who would ship 20th or earlier for less?
(And am I getting over-excited thinking this is a really sharp looking combination, even if heads are going to cost a fortune compared to building your own?)

Do you know how wide the batter and tank are? Sadly thr the battery doesn't look anywhere near as nice as their other CF one, but that's personal opinion! Price seems to be fairly decent for a 200mah 40A battery.. Especially when you compare it to a Sony VTC5 + Mech + charger. Thr price of thr coils though God damn!!!! Are thry able to be re-coiled do you know? At least this now gives newbies something to be happy with without needing to jump into a mech with a sub ohm dripper with absolutely no protection at all...

I would seriously hate to see newbies guided towards a sub-ohm set-up, Marcus Most new starters don't have even a basic grasp of ohms and the potential for injury when combining the wrong elements. And, the day sub-ohm is a necessity to get satisfaction (particularly for a new starter), will be a very sad day ???

And, the day sub-ohm is a necessity to get satisfaction (particularly for a new starter), will be a very sad day ??? Trust me nor would I but the reality is I see Atleast 5 posts a week in various forums/groups etc.. Of people buying mechs and jumping in to 0.4/0.5ohm coils without thr slightest clue on ohms law or battery safety. My comment was that if someone is wanting to jump into it without doing any research because all they want are "Huge Clouds" I would prefer to see them use something like this which offers some protection over an unregulated device. You cock up your build and have a short, your mod is still gonna fire, and then fry your battery and hand.. With this, it won't fire it. I wouldn't suggest to anyone to jump in to sub ohm coils and mech mods but sadly the reality is people see others "Cloud chasing" and just want the big clouds, no thought as to the safe way to go about it. Sadly there are a fair few idiots out there, I encounter them daily on social media platforms so like I said, at least with this people won't see the need to run out and get a mech/RDA (after only using a cigalike) just because they read everyone going on about "sub ohm"

I agree completely with Marcus.
In fact myself I only use my mech mods, which I love, with Kicks and never built a sub-ohm coil. Moreover, I stopped even building coils, preferring the convenience of the iTaste30S (having tried iTaste30, Protank and Aspire tanks).
As such, I think I'm probably the target audience for this...

I'm sure the battery and tank will be very well made, being by Aspire and will probably make a great match for each other.
The issues come when the uneducated decide they are going to use a different Mod on one particular day and then stick the Atlantis tank on it because 'it looks nice'.
I'd have been much happier to see some kind of 1 piece unit, if that were possible.

Well, I put in an order with CloudStix for the tank and the battery - not only are they cheaper but their prediction is that they'll get them in on Saturday and send them straight out. All being well I'd get them before I would from UKE... you know the one.

I'm reading the description of shipping differently than yourself, the key words are "due to ship to us" this to me means this is when shipping to them starts so i would not expect them to be in stock for shipping until back end of next week at the earliest, the key words in bold don't mention arrival.

Richo, you're quite right, sorry. Hopefully DHLed to them though, so I still might be lucky enough to get by Thursday (and considerably cheaper).
