I was just planning giving my Credit Card the fright of its life

Good Luck Bad Luck!

There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields.
One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?"

A week later, the horse returned with a herd of horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck.
His reply was, "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?"

Then, when the farmer's son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg.
Everyone thought this very bad luck.
Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?"

Some weeks later, the army marched into the village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there.
When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg, they let him off.
Now was that good luck or bad luck?

Who knows?

It is wise not to think yourself unlucky when something happens that on the surface looks bad it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

You can make them in to silver ones by removing the paint , that is what Trog did with the original silver ones he sold as at the time as the Chinese only made white and Black.

Naa I am an all or nothing kind of gal .

No way I would travel all that way and not stay for the Sunday .
Even if I meant to just got to AC/DC on the Fri, I know once I was there there is Noooo way I would be heading home on the Sat.

Scylla you have a remarkable memory, thanks for the violets

The MK 1 is manufactured by and sold by Trog and Co.
It takes a un-protected 16340 Lithium ion battery which equates to 16mm x 34mm .
It comes in a choice of 3 models
901 Mini
510 Titan
801 Penstyle
It also has a choice of Colours - Silver - Black - Gold.
The Black is now a smooth shiny black and not the matt textured one on the last model.
You have full support and if any problems arise there is the option to have them returned to base for a refit regardless of the age.

The SD MK11 is manufactured in China to Trogs specifications.
The body is slightly larger than the MK1.
It has a protected 18350 Lithium ion battery which has a longer run time than the MK1 battery.
Comes in Silver which I think is more shiny than the MK1 andalso in Black.
It has a 901 fitting but you can buy an adapter to use other atomisers with it.
The SD Forum will give informational support for this model but they will not do repairs.
Totally Wicked and other sellers who are selling this item must deal with replacements and repairs.

I never bought a MK11 - I never needed one but yes I am curious as to the finish compared to the MK1.
The body parts are not interchangeable with the MK1 - so as with so many other purchases you end up with 2 ecigs to maintain.

The Battery life on the MK1 is more than sufficient and knowing I not only have support but also somewhere in the UK to send it for a refit if something does go wrong wins it for me.
The turnaround for repairs is fast - as soon as they receive it they set to work on it and get it back to you in the next available post.

They do both use the same charger and atomiser but that is about it.

Both are pretty well protected from faulty atomisers making the battery go Booom regardless if it is protected or un -protected it can still go boom.

No one to my knowledge has managed to blow up a battery in a single battery device , and no one has ever blown up an unprotected 16340 battery in the SD - T rog has tried to blow up the MK1 with over volting and sending the battery in to deep discharge but he was not successfull.
I should add he put the SD MK1 in the garden while he tried to achieve this ...... we waited all night for the Kaboom report but it never came.
Please don't try to do it inside your home

I think there will be lots of offers this month.

No one knows what is going to happen ...... ???

Tbh if you like the SD you do really need 2 for peace of mind if nothing else .

I am vaping 20 - 25 ml per week at the moment.

I consider myself as Satisfied, Content and Happy
