Has yours arrived yet oneday? Mines not and the tracking site has got a mood on so I can't track it either

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Where did you buy them from?

[OneDay]

No, not here yet bee. Even though we knew at the time it would take a while, it seems like an age, and the lack of tracking info is a royal pita. Just getting prepared lol

I keep looking at the calendar and having to remind myself it's only been 2 weeks lol I'm just so impatient it could be another 2 weeks yet! it did say 35-40 days so I'm probably being a little too optimistic hoping it'd be here by now lol

I bought some vaping gear from Vapour Hut in China, slow boat delivery and it was a month before it arrived. It went on a world cruise first, then a trip to the moon and back I reckon. The tracking was a waste of time, it said it was still in China even when it had arrived! Worth the wait when I did finally get it though.

I'm beginning to think that for the few quid I saved I'd have been better getting it from apollo, at least I'd have it by now..... but then I'm like an impatient kid with new stuff

I think we're all like that. But the disappointment when the postman's been and gone and left us empty handed isn't nice.

Rather intriguingly I just tried tracking it on the parcelforce worldwide site (substituting the last two letters for GB) and it says 'your item is being processed but we have not received confirmation of delivery'. I wonder if that means its in the uk? I hope so

I am sure some protected batteries don't fit..The LT has a built in protection and it's a single cell mod which is not being charged inside the device..

Also unprotected cells perform better..So it's down to choice..

When I ordered from HC the tracking told me it was still in China when the postie turned up at the door with it!

I have these bats for the LT, fit fine!
