Looks like you just wrap some cotton pad around the square solid state heater. Looking like £80 a pop for the atty (plus shipping), but it`s early days. If this has been posted elsewhere, apologies. |

Unfortunately this looks like it is a method for getting more cashflow through Gearbest which means they have more cash on hand to order stock. Another bugbear is the "tracking number" charge for items under $40, most other companies including Fasttech ship items over $25 (correct me if I`m wrong) with a tracking number and items under $25 have a sliding scale. A recent order I made for batteries is coming "surface mail". Now when I ordered it, it said the usual 20 days ish. I paid for a tracking number thinking that it would be sent Airmail as usual. It wasn`t. All of these tactics make Gearbest an uncertain expensive shipping method which is the last thing any customer wants when buying from China. One other annoyance is "insurance". It should not be necessary to buy insurance when you have a tracking number. I am not aware of any other vendor that does this. Looks a lot like "free money" to me. The stock available in the EU warehouse is really very poor and has been for over a month now, very few new items added and only 34 items available, most of which are cheap items. When the cost of shipping them to the UK had been added then they are poor prices. Maybe worth considering stocking only items over $20.  From the EU Warehouse

It is really very easy. If it is not in your warehouse it is presale. I personally believe that anything in stock should be shipped the same day or the day after. If it is 5 to 10 days (or some other variation) then there is every possibility that something will happen within those 5 to 10 days to cause a problem with supply as has happened so many times before. It is leading to much distrust (with good reason).
This is how EVERY ITEM in Gearbest should be listed, not just for promotion items.
Okay to order this, 119 items in stock. If customers had this much certainty you would get more sales and more returning customers.
Obviously none of these left to sell. A date could be added when they are expected to be in stock again.
If you had a system like that then Gearbest would be the FIRST place that people would look for a GENUINE INSTOCK item.
Customers would greatly appreciate the honesty of a system like that and would return to GEARBEST time and time again
and tell all their friends about it. |

It`s a bit nerdy to be fair but it would be interesting to see the battery deterioration over time and the internal resistance of the battery over time. Same price as the Xtar but would have been first choice if it was that price before. This looks like a one week offer after being sold before for over £40

Great reviews on Gearbest, spec is amazing for the price. First time I heard of the make was when I spotted it today Greg. If I hadn`t bought the Xtar a couple of weeks ago I would have kerchinged it ..................... probably still will |

I always use it slightly spaced, but I always use a dripper, so a slow mouth to lung is always a good temp at about 20 watts |

Absolutely disgusting I hope they can appeal this or do something to get it reduced and I do hope it doesn't give our idiots ideas. Unfortunately this is from the country that allows just about anyone to have a gun, they cant even get that stopped  |

Turns out mine arrived a while ago, must've got lost in all of the Xmas pressies I bought. Do GB always send batteries out in that kind of state? No cases or boxes is pretty bad form, but the two that were loose in the jiffy is extremely bad form. Sent from my X5pro using proboards Yes, it is that kind of packaging that could lead to a ban by airline carriers again (when they are scanned). Mine were exactly the same. Really need to improve the way the batteries are packed isabel22 |

Been there, done that. There is no logic to it. In a fit of temper after a ban I reported loads including eliquid with a choice of nic levels. Still a very active item  It doesn`t pay to have the cheapest price on Ebay, that`s almost guaranteed to get your listing removed. |
