Good price good find but it looks like you will be waiting by the mailbox for 3-4 or more weeks since its coming from china. Just to long for me. Then what if customs gets a hold of it it might not even make it to your hands. And that doesn't look like an ego-t to me the ego-t atty is attached to the cone this one is not attached to the cone. Its a (really) good joye ego knockoff since it looks like its not branded with the white ego letters on the side of the battery or cap . I have never bought anything from that site before so I don't know the quality of the item. I would still buy local or in the states so that someone looking for a PV right now can get it in their hands faster. But if your on a budget I wouldn't hate times are tough for alot of us.

Huh. It looks like a very crude eGo with standard 510 carts. (They sure aren't Mega or Cone carts.) And it's certainly not a tank anything. If you call up the images the back of the instruction manual refers to them as "5 x tank cartridge" (sic)

Looks definitely like a knockoff. Personally, I don't like the look of how crudely the batteries are finished.

The problem with this kind of place, and dealextreme and alibaba is half the time the stuff works - but not as good as you want - and the other half of the time it doesn't work at all. (Been there, done that.) And it can take weeks for it to arrive.

For another 14 bucks I'd just go with a known winner - the Joye 510 kit at cignot or elsewhere. At least you definitely know what you are getting. And usually in three days.

What it comes down to is: Are you willing to be out 21 bucks if it just sucks or doesn't work at all? Forget returning it for a refund.

Well, the ad was obviously written by someone who doesn't know a thing about PVs. They were just fed some basic info and published the ad. However, this doesn't look like a bad deal. Based on the photos, its not a tank system for sure. Its just an atomizer/cartridge/cone system. To someone who doesn't know about this stuff, carts could be though of as little "tanks". They probably heard that eGo Tanks were a selling point so included the term for marketing appeal. Apparently, it is coming direct from China so the $20 US is likely pretty close to wholesale here. If one was in China you could buy in large quantities, direct from the factory for dirt cheap price and sell for 20 bucks. Might not be a bad kit at all. If I had $20 I didn't need, I would take a chance just to try it out. Would be a cheap alternative for someone on a real tight budget. Just would have to buy some cartomizers though.
