Is there anything they'll send you out in writing ? Doubt it, but I'll give it a try. |

Well fred, that post was also by you, so it's not exactly widespread. No Post Office employee, or self employed Sub Postmaster, has the right to open your mail. The dangerous goods act has caused endless bother and misinformation. Even the helpful kind lady at Royal Mail has it wrong. A mobile phone containing a battery does need a warning label, though that can easily be put on by the clerkNot according to the dangerous goods department at the royal mail - you know, the ones that make/enforce these rules  Interpretation of these ambiguous rules on the internet and supplied to the nosey old bag can be very subjective. I'll take the word of the dangerous goods department over anyone else's interpretation of the rules they've laid down. |

Who at the Post Office is looking in your parcel? That's a first. Royal Mail however, do have the right to examine or destroy anything they think could be dangerous. A bit annoying for us as the public being asked what's in your parcel, but must be far more tedious for them asking the same thing time after time. The nosey old bag at the post office counter in the back of local shops! Look here!
Not the first time at all |

What dragon said!
But when a coil has gone bad, keep it safe.
Eventually, you WILL start recoiling your own, and all your spent ones can be recoiled many times. This will cost you about 5p each, and about 10 mins of your time. And the vape is better from your own coils than factory ones!
Even if you can't be arsed, if you have a few that need doing, forum members offer to do them very cheaply, or even free sometimes.

So, before delivering a package to the post office counter today, I phoned royal mail.
I asked the kind lady what I need to do to send a mobile phone to my mum, complete with battery.
She said it must be switched off, have the battery in it, and be securely packaged - it does not need a dangerous goods sticker!
So,I said, I also need to send an ego battery (e-cig battery) to a friend! I explained that its a metal tube, with battery, electronics and switch. She asked did it have liquid in. I explained how a modern ecig works, and the various parts, and that there was no liquid in the ecig.
She still wasn't sure, and got in touch with dangerous goods department.
Upshot is, as long as there's no liquid in an attached atty, the device is switched off and securely packaged, ego batteries are fine to post.
She also said it is fine to send 2 bottles of juice, up to 50mg/ml in the same package (probably OK to send more, but that's all I needed).
She then said if the woman at the post office refuses to send it, or demands to open it, she must call the dangerous goods department on 0345 600 5744.
Write this number down folks, and take it with you to the post office. They have no right to look in your parcel!

All sorted and posted markus. Having spoken to the dangerous goods folk at royal mail, I was ready for the old bag in the post office! It is absolutely fine to send ego batteries in the post, and they don't even need a lithium sticker! However, I went to the other post office, and the guy never even asked what's in it! (Better change the thread tag to completed, so the mods can move it) |

to the forum. Your choice of starter kit is probably what would have been recommended, so I'd say go for it. However, don't think those coils will fit as they're dual coil. I think you'll need single coil for those clearos. And I wouldn't buy juice from them! Look at the approved vendor list, or wait for further recommendations. Have a start by looking at joose juice - good price, and a lot of folk here use them. Now we've got the ball rolling, others will be along to help...........

Is this a different alloy mix from A1? Not sure about the percentages, but I think its the same metals in it. (That's not to say it doesn't have extra Chinese stuff in it!) |

I thought it was the nickel in nichrome that folk were wary of? Kanthal contains chromium (along with aluminium and iron.) |

2 puffs or 20 puffs it's up to you.
look at me - RTFM
