Been offered a one quite cheap until the Aliens come back in stock from fasttech. I'm sure you had one Get Off My Cloud and striker42 ? They still going strong and is there anything I should check for?

If you've been offered one at a reasonable price dalealan then I would recommend buying one. My two have been absolutely flawless. No problems whatsoever. Only point of caution would be to check if it is the 80 watt or 160 watt version but that would only be to make sure it suits your needs rather than a negative point on the device. I would have no hesitation in buying another one.

Should be spot on with the griffin 25.

I would say scuff marks on the bottom are pretty par for the course with most mods apart from some of the higher end/more expensive devices. The only one I have that is not scuffed or scraped on the base is an Esquare. If the boxer is working and cheap it should serve you well until you get your new toy. Considering an Alien or an RX2/3 next myself. Just got a Smok Osub last week and that is a real nice device.

I'm determined I'm going to get the orange and black Alien but fasttech keeps putting the date back

Unfortunately, never seen one in the flesh but all reports on them are good and blakey gave it a big thumbs up.

Only thing that worries me with the alien is the flimsy battery door. My mates cuboid was like that and broke within about 6 months
