Thanks for the responses, everyone! Seems everyone is very happy with them. I guess I was also thinking about their 6 mo warranty. For a 510 atty this seems rather generous, as they rarely last so long. Anyone returned dead attys, or anything else? It does seem shipping would be a lot.
a2d, could not find the Puresmoker 25-atty deal...perhaps I missed it. I would definitely prefer buying domestic.
Fatalis, TW often has 20-30% off sales...just got a box of 5 attys for $27...and they have fast and excellent service, no complaints. And they are domestic, and I like helping the US economy.
I have black attys from TW, and some copper ones. Blue from e-smokytreats. I had posted previously a question as to whether the TW black attys died faster than the other colors, but I now realize it was simply lack of experience in how to care for them, what to do and what not to do. They are great work horses now, and it seems with some of the tips I've gotten I will be able to make them last a long time. The color should be a non-issue, as it is just the paint, meaning that all else being equal black should be identical to blue attys. Never had any DAO from TW, but I certainly dragged a few to an early grave being a noob: running them too hot, VG juice too thick, pulling the wick out, and trying to ungunk one by using a soldering awl (seems the connections are fairly fragile)
Grrr.
