Massive thanks to Jason at VapeEscape! Visited his shop today and he was very helpful. Lovely bloke too. I'm now slowly disappearing in a cloud of custard scented vapour, clutching my shiney new stainless steel Vamo.

Depending on how mental the M62 is, I can probably get to the shop in 3/4 hr. Worth the trip! The added advantage of going in person is being able to hold it in your hand before you buy it*. And I won't have to wait for the snail mail over Christmas! I was going to have a lie-in tomorrow. Never mind. NEW SHINEY THINGS!!!! *Stop thinking that. No, really, stop it!

Hi Lazydog I've been following this thread for a while, but I'm getting less and less enthusiastic about buying from China! Thanks for the info on the batts and charger. I guess that's probably decided it for me. I need to get another Ego battery anyway, and I've just been paid, so I might give Jason at VapeEscape a call in the morning and see about paying him a visit! # #

I wondering now if it's worth even trying to order. Couple of questions which might help me decide:
- Are the batteries and charger that come with the kit any good? Heard lots of stories about exploding batts, so are these OK or should I get them both from the UK?
- Is it just the battery issue that's stopping the packages getting out of China? If so, would it be any better if I just ordered the body from China?
I love a bargain, but if there's an issue with quality/safety and the stuff's never going to arrive then it's not worth the hassle.

Another vote for the Nova - my STV hardly makes any noise. Clearos are definitely noisier. Or, just buy her some ear plugs!

Thanks Karma! Yeah, for batts and chargers I'd rather go to Jason - I know there won't be any worries about them being knock-offs. Definitely won't try and get them on the cheap as it's not worth the risk. If I was a bit closer I'd be going to his shop tomorrow!

My purple STV's fine. Got it from VE nearly a week ago and no problems with it so far. Vapes like a good 'un and looks lovely!

Yeah, I need to get a spare back-up! I'll post on the Vamo shopping thread later as I'll want at least one set of spare batteries and a charger that isn't going to blow up, so will be asking for recommendations. Wish me luck in town. *shudder* Might have to have some vodka ready mixed in the fridge for when I get back!

What a great forum - so many replies already! Thanks for the offer of help Colli. Might be worth a try, if you can un-glue the bloody thing from the housing! Can you pm your address? I'll get it in the post tomorrow. I've only got one battery now (just my original 650 Ego batt), so it's making me very nervous! I'll buy a spare one tomorrow, which'll have to do for now. I'm ordering a Vamo as a Christmas pressie to myself, but I'll need something to keep me going until the slow boat arrives. There's nothing local on the map unfortunately. I know there are Totally Wicked shops in Huddersfield and Brighouse, so I'll visit one of those tomorrow. So much for a nice relaxing day!

Gah! The last thing I wanted to do was to go into town tomorrow, but it looks like I'll have to now. The top part of my Ego passthrough has been popping out of the housing for a couple of weeks. I've been muddling along and just pushing it back together, but it's meant I've only been able to use it at home. I got some superglue earlier and tried sticking it back together as I want to take it as a spare when I go visiting the family on Xmas day, but now it doesn't work at all. I know there's a shop in Huddersfield that sells Totally Wicked branded stuff. Overpriced but it'll do, unless anyone knows of any other (better) shops in the area. Chiller, I know you're fairly local - how about Bradford, Halifax, Brighouse or anywhere else handy?

I have a whole fresh cream Victoria sponge in the fridge. Do you think I should eat the whole thing?.. i mean.... it would be such a waste If we lived a bit closer to each other I'd offer to help. Go for it Dolly! x

Thumbs down from me for the CE5s - they're either really poorly manufactured or put together by a chimp with a hand full of thumbs. I replaced them with some Vison rainbow rebuildables and they're going well so far - much better quality, good all round vape and nice girly colours, although you may want to stick with clear or black! I fired up my Nova STV for the first time tonight. It's flippin' brilliant and a thing of beauty, although it looks a bit strange on my ego batts. I'm just going to have to get a Vamo to put it on! Dear Santa.....
