    Default Where to get a 3.7v battery e-cig delivered to UK?

    At the moment, the only 3.7 volt battery e-cig available in the UK seems to the SD.

    I tried the new SD MKII but unfortunately it was too bulky for my tiny hands which are also a bit weak due to my MS so it felt too heavy too. I also found the switch being on the end of the SD too awkward for me. So I sold it

    E-Cigs.co.uk is out of stock of the Protege and there are delays with getting them in stock (which I gather could go on for some time), although I've heard the Protege might be heavier than the SD despite being slimmer?

    As most of the bigger battery models are bulky or heavy, it doesn't leave much choice for me to try one that's slim enough and maybe a touch lighter than the SD. The only ones I can think of that might be suitable are the VP1 (have to admit I like the look and size of this one!), and the Vapre51 (similar to the VP1 and I think made by the same people who make the VP1), and the Bulli Slim (not sure about that one as it's aluminium?). I'd like one to use with a 901 atty and possibly also with an adaptor for an 801.

    SmokeJuice has the Bulli Slim on his site but it's been out of stock for ages. The suppliers who sell the others are in the US and either don't ship to the UK or they don't say if they do or not.

    Are there any other UK suppliers who might have suitable models? Where or how do any of you who get these bigger battery models get them if the supplier doesn't ship outside of the US? What about problems, guarantees, spares etc?

    Are there any other models that might perhaps suit me?

    TIA for any suggestions!

    You may find a useful box mod or a torch mod from Garry Dibley easier to use. They are astoundingly cheap and reliable.
    The box mod 801 version I have is very light to handle, using 3.7v 10440 (cigar type) battery.

    Have you thought about the JantyStick? Its small and light but has good battery life. Otherwise the smaller version of the new Mako might suit, though the switch is on the end meaning it might be a pain for you.

    The Bulli Slim shipment has been in transit since the end of October and we still haven't received it to date.... I think the shipment has been held up due to the postal strikes.

    We are expecting them any day soon though....

    Thanks all for your suggestions, much appreciated!

    To be honest, I'm not sure a square box mod would suit me either... Whereas my hands are quite that bad, but if I'm going to be holding something in my hands or fingers for any length of time, it has to be of a certain shape (and weight) for me to feel comfy with it. Sounds daft I know, but there we go...

    The Janty BB might be one to watch out for, whenever it comes out. I'm not sure what weight it has though.

    I'll keep looking out for the Bulli Slim in the meantime! Thanks for letting me know . I just hope they don't all sell out before I get to it, LOL.

    LF have coppers in Mods - The Copper and the adaptever on its way (looking at the forum). Not sure if the copper would be too heavy, I would have thought a lightweight box mod would have been good? Bit surprised the SD II is too heavy, thought they were a pretty good size and weight? You might struggle?

    Starlight - given you found the SD too heavy etc I think the Bulli Slim way well be the way to go...

    I would agree with frogbmth's suggestion of the Janty Stick, as the weight of an ecig is 90% down to the battery it uses. The stick uses an 10440 battery ( think I got that right, memory is bad these days.) and as that is small, and the stick itself is is the width of 2 801 atties side by side, and the depth of one (just over) its quite small in the hand. Switch is half way up, and doesnt require much pressure to use.

    I can certainly lend you mine as you are UK to try and see if it fits the bill.
