Amen to that Macca.

[kingofswords]

up to you macca if you wanna take on gb im happy with that. was only subtly hinting in first place.

anyway spoke to cup tsang of joyelife(dunno if its mr cup or mr tsang tbh)

although he was speaking engrish and maybe used this to his advangtage quoted me the price below


unit price $3.99(50 pieces$200)
paypal charge $9.62
dhl $39.32 which he ensured me was cheapest and takes 5 days i believe although ive had tnt b4 in 2-3 days.

only availiable is ss atm

now i belive dhl pay import tax and Import handling fees which i got from some online calculator(sorry didnt note down site:s)
although these are based on online cureency converstion and not payapals extoriated conversion so will make difference to end price.

Import handling fees by DHL for import to UK: £1.25, or 2% of the import duty & taxes due, whichever is the greater.


Total customs value: £153.25
- Duty: £0.00
- VAT: £30.65
Total import duty & taxes due: £30.65
Total landed cost: £183.90 at USD/GBP exchange rate of 0.6385



Calculation notes
Notes on duty & taxes rates
Electronic Cigarettes has an import duty rate of 3.7% and VAT rate of 20% .
Notes on import taxes due
Duty result is nil because the total value of your products does not exceed £135.00
Please note, if your goods have been insured for international transport, and the cost of the premium is not already included in the value, you must declare it separately to ensure accurate duty and VAT results.
Please note that your shipping provider may add an additional handling fee

tilis i dont think has to be pair i just said that cos thought be easier to get 25 ppl than 50
domestic its this btw joyevapor.en.alibaba.com/product/586548991-213848960/Joyelife_unique_design_disposable_replacabel_repairable_heating_wire_eGo_UFO_cartomizer_huge_vapor.html
depends on what currency is on day of order and what postage ppl want.....i was thinking of ordering couple of spares incase of doa or lost postage. technically as its under 25mm 90p large letter would work.

according to paypal currency conversion today equals £163.25 GBP(so 10 pound more than above)

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

You lost me at hello lol

The spec said that it is "Size: L74mm W14mm" so would think it is under the 25mm like you said King

I made the list you can check it twice, you can find out if they are naughty or nice. (Sudden thoughts of Christmas there lol).

Your ideas of spares in case of DOA's is a good one.

Will leave it in your capable hands then to come up with an end price each and postage

Why?

What have you spotted?

[kingofswords]

hmmm i dont like the sound of copper(maybe we could switch to the smok rta vivi tank thingy)?

either way a decision needs to be made asa to whos organising this(i vote macca) otherwise it will drag on.
and we need a dedicated thread started too.

What about the Bulli clone (www.diytrade.com/china/pd/10578751/Hot_sale_bully_atomizer_rebuildable_atomizer.html). It looks a lot like the vertigo atomizer I have here and that is quite a good Bulli rip.

[kingofswords]

Mickeydrag is already doing vertigo gb on ukv... i suggested this one as the moq is 50 instead of 100

[maccafan]

Yep..Looks like bare copper from the photos..Not good..

The Bulli rip looks like untreated ally..Not too keen on that either unless someone confirms otherwise..

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

What bits look like copper to you? from what I can see (and could be wrong) the outer shell is made from copper which has been electro plated with chrome and the inner looks like brass. it is the wrong colour to be just copper.

Why would it being copper be a problem anyway?

Edit:
Also the first picture in the instructions show that the brass coloured parts in the rest of the instructions are also plated with the silver colour.

[maccafan]

The coil connections and terminal plate..Even if it is brass, not for me.

Copper and e-juice, not a good combination. I doubt the outer shell is plated copper. More likely to be cupronickel cause copper is very soft..

If the supplier does not know what he/she is selling I am gonna give it a miss..

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

fair comment and I agree.

Just out of interest, what reaction is there between the juice and copper then?

[maccafan]

Far as I know copper degrades and dissolves in e-juice..Higher temp speeds up the reaction. All in all, not a good material I am told.

Maybe you can do an experiment and put make two bare copper terminals with a piece of 2 ohm coil and pass current through it whist you wet the copper with ejuice and see what happens...
