Replacement for nichrome coil...

[Scubabatdan]

Samples were ordered about a week ago, and are in the process of being manufactured. We are just waiting for them to be ready to ship. In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out how to get payment to their bank in China. They do not accept credit cards or PayPal, so I have to figure out how to wire funds internationally. I have an account number for the China Construction Bank, Zhuhai branch, and my bank can't transfer funds there. Does anyone know anything about transferring money internationally using SWIFT?

Wester Union uses SWIFT.

Hope that helps, when do you need the 25.00?

According to western union it will cost 14.00 to send the 250.

Yes, but they do not support "Direct to Bank" transfers to China. Anyone else care to chime in?

Actually, I think I did. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

The closest that I could find was www.xoom.com, but even they cannot transfer to a company account, only to a personal account, or local pickup. Some help from someone with international corporate commerce experience would be helpful. It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult to send a few hundred dollars across the pond.

If I can't find another method, or if the manufacturer's rep cannot receive the money this way, I may ask my cousin in Germany to broker the deal for me. I trust him, and know that he has purchasing agreements with at least one manufacturer in China, and does transfers through his local bank.

We have routinely wired money to Chinese parts companies through Mellon Business Bank.

I think you need to call around to more trade oriented banks in your area. Keywords I'd look for in a bank's name are: commerce, business, China. In the Bay Area this shouldn't be difficult.

Question: Has the low cost of cartomizers lessened the need for longer lasting atomizers?

KonaNeil,

Thanks for the input, I'll check Mellon Business Bank on Monday. I've only checked the large banks in my area (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc...), so that was probably my mistake.

Imo, cartomizers are a great option for folks, but personally, I prefer the flavor I get from dripping. The cartomizer is certainly an improvement over the separate system, but I would still like something better. Once we get a good heater (whether it be ceramic or pyrex), the fluid delivery system is next on the list for improvements. Hopefully, we can come up with something that will blow away cartridges and cartomizers. I've seen a number of great delivery concepts on this forum, they just need to be refined and implemented.
