Shame about the size, Dee.
I think I'll need to buy a lot more of your 1mm wick, Tim!

After 32 years in IT, I took voluntary redundancy and early retirement last year - just scraped through before they put the minimum age up to 55!
I've had my own business, repairing clocks, for 15 years.
I also have a part-time job working in a supermarket petrol station, because I got bored with retirement.
Most of my free time is now spent building mods.
I'm busier now than when I had a full-time job.

Forgot to say - this batch will be available with either acrylic (22mm) or aluminium (20mm) tubes. Same price - £32.50 inc first class recorded delivery.

Clearos, dual coils, rebuildables - loads of different atomising devices out there.
Once you've found your atomising device of choice, get an Arry tank to fit to it.
After that, the next step is to ditch the Riva and get a big battery mod or VV mod.

Next batch of dripping atties will be ready in a few days. Still got a couple of places on the list if anyone's interested.

What size is the wick, and roughly how much per metre please, Dee?
I'll be needing around 50metres of 1mm wick to ship out with my atties.

Might be OK once the juice dries out from the o-rings - should tighten up a bit.

They look to come apart a little too easy. I can imagine pulling out the drip tip, and ending up covered in juice.
Be interested to see how you get on with them, though. I tried making carto tanks with internal o-rings (like this one uses), but dismissed it as an unnecessary complication. I even made a custom cutting tool to make the grooves in the caps. If it works in practice, I'll have another go.

Royal Mail handling charge is about £8, Parcelforce is about £13.
On top of that you'll pay VAT on the cost and shipping. I've heard stories of Provape putting a value of $40 on the customs form, so the VAT may be as little as £8 ($40 plus $30 shipping, IIRC). If you get stung for the full value, you might end up paying as much as £40 in total.
Whatever happens, it should end up cheaper than buying from the UK.
Sometimes the customs guys open stuff to check it, as is their right. They can then asses the value themselves, ignoring the declared value. If they over-value, you have the right to challenge their valuation.
Out of interest, did you order any batteries with it? I wonder if the customs agents pay more attention to heavier/bigger packages? I didn't have to pay charges, but I just ordered the basic Provari plus the end cap.

I'll have to try this with the 400 gauge stainless mesh that I got for Genesis experiments.
