1# shipped fine from EU was delivered in 2 days 2# China(ordered 11/10/15) paid extra for express delivery. ticketed them on 15/10/15 items not in stock (but showing on website) told 1 week wait. Items were shipped 20/10/15. Received phone message today from DHL saying I had to pay £4:32 tax duty will not be using China site again. its an unfortunate circumstance that means customs declaration forms seem to get filled in with more accuracy when you pay the extra for a courier delivery. generally with the free postage option the goods are declared as 'parts' or in the case of most of my orders 'filters'.. I too got bitten by that gotcha.. now i accept the slow circa 2 week delivery option offered for free and attempt patience that with buying items singularly and not in larger group purchases to avoid deliveries being held up by a single item awaiting restocking, the far east option is less fraught, and can be a useful cheap resource..

Received this in the nice vapemail delivery today, after reading that some had experienced problems fitting a coil in the beast i started to play with it straight away and fitted one of the supplied coils contained in the spares bag. I also found and fitted the BF +ve pin in the spares bag. The first coil fitted in ok once i had trimmed the coil leg down to fit against the +ve pin end stop. But when the cap is fitted the plastic base of the screw in drip tip is mm's away from the coil, way too close for comfort, i dont fancy vaping hot plastic fumes along with my juice.. pics will follow.. a bit of a disappointment.. i will be hunting thru my atty collection for a same sized base i can swap the top with as its an interesting coil configuration which is quite easy to build on, and with Bf pin fitted the juice in/out path is only 1mm or so above the juice well base so could be a good squonking candidate..

the 2 things you need for temp control vaping are: 1) a TC capable Mod, your choice of mod will dictate the type of wire you can use fot the coils, I am far from expert but afaik the choices are nickel200(99.6% pure) Titanium and stainless steel.. 2) an atty with a TC coil fitted. All TC mods i am aware of will work with Nickel wire (Ni200) some will also let you use titanium wire, and a smaller subset will also let you use Stainless steel wire.. the dna200 mods are currently at the cutting edge of this tech, and have the ability to use most wires but some configuration is needed for anything other than nickel? at the budget end of the scale the evic mini for circa £25 is TC enabled and has a titanium option built in. any atty you can build a ni200 coil on can be used for tc vaping, Ni200 coils are bigger and lowerv resistance than kanthal so building 2 coil TC builds becomes more of a chalange so forget the goblin for TC vaping, but subtank rba's and a lemo2 should be fine imho.. hope that helps and isnt more confusing.. edit you can also use off the shelf TC coil heads, i use kanger OCC ni200 coil heads in my subtank minis

welcome to aaec The best prices are to be found from chinese based vendors.. which can involve a few weeks delivery time, But your not going to beat prices found on sites like Fasttech.com and gearbest.com. Gearbest stock some items in the EU/UK warehouse which will be delivered (once ordered) within a few days, just be careful "styled" when used in a description means COPY!! not the original kit.. Not all copy kit is bad, but .. I have 5 x subtank mini clone attys from Fasttech myself and all work a treat.. check out the classifieds in here daily for 2nd hand kit and yes its a viable alternative,, Just one thing regarding the subtank nano, its the one subtank variant that you cant use the rba deck with, as long as your ok with that..
