They tend to keep people on for 18 months,lay them off for a few weeks.Then start them back,something to do with if you work for a company for two year,they've got to pay you redundancy and whatnot.

I hate greedy/cheapskate companies, that try and get out of things like that - that's why we had unions in the old days with some bite, trouble is nowadays they've had their teeth pulled out by respective governments, including Labour.

Ah, one of these modern contractual things. 'Safe' employment seems to be getting less likely in a lot of cases.
Still, I hope you get plenty of work with them ..and if something more permanent shows up eventually, even better!

I do remember them now I see the grey one with blue stripes (reminded me of a sports shirt :laugh:) - fair bit cheaper at FT.

They might get the other colours in as well, I quite liked the black/red one as well as the grey [white?]/blue, also would like to try the Titanium coil to see if it is any different to the Nickel ones

Yes, I see that it is white now! I also see the 'orange' described as Racing Yellow on a review too. The black one looks nice, but I'm not too sure I need one.
The large screen with vertical read-out is nice. Different with the adjustment being a wheel on the top instead of up/down buttons

Still, you can buy the 4ml mega tank in silver or black for either £20 or less here, or $20 (Sweet Vapes) - apparently the Ti & Ni coils will be only a little more expensive.
I just read a review, and in particular this about the coils:

Characteristics of the Coils
Using the Kanthal wire coils in pure variable wattage mode the eVic-VT will max out at 60w when using low resistance coils between 0.25-ohm to 1.0-ohms. Using Kanthal wire resistance of 0.1-ohm to 0.24-ohm the max output will decrease to 50-55w.

According to Joyetech, and affirmed, somewhat, over the past 4 days of use, the Kanthal wire (the traditional coil heads of the eGo ONE tank) will vaporize eliquid faster and consume battery life faster than either the Titanium or Nickel coil heads. I also used a Delta 2 with the eVic-VT with wonderful results at 45w.

The Ti, or Titanium, and Ni, or Nickel, coil heads allow for a much longer battery life and the ability to vape higher temperatures with less wattage. When using the Ni and Ti coil heads the max output will be 60w.

In Joyetech’s tests the Nickel coils seem to come out ahead of the Titanium coils when it comes to conserving eliquid consumption and battery life, but both surpass the Kanthal coil heads by a wide margin. I’ve really not owned it long enough to show with certainty that the difference is monumental, but it sure does feel significant.

Vapor And Taste – Using the eVic-VT with Titanium coil heads provided me with great flavor and vapor, but the Nickel heads proved to be my best option. The Nickel coil heads (0.2-ohms) seemed to provide a thicker vapor with denser flavor then the Titanium coils. But the differences were relatively minor, but noticeable.

While using both coil heads in variable temperature mode, the vape was pleasing, and the ability to warm up or cool down the vapor is truly marvelous. I am certain that there will be little to complain about.

Having said that, I found myself vaping more often with the normal Kanthal coil heads for the eGo ONE after toying with the others for about 36 hours. Yes, battery life was considerably shorter, and eliquid consumption was heavier then when I used the Nickel or Titanium coil heads, but it gave me the most pleasure. I am not advocating using the Kanthal coils rather than the Titanium or Nickel because eliquid consumption and battery life are becoming a serious issue, I’m simply stating that ‘my’ vape with the traditional coils produced a more powerful vape, but at a cost.

The ability to further ‘tailor’ your personal vape is a great feature, and with all these options I’ve no doubt that with a little practice anyone can tailor a vape better than at any time in the past.

Just been looking at the Evic VT and I'm impressed by the numbers it's quoting, esp the battery. Not to hot on the colour all my mods tend to be black or silver.
I also noticed some more bell tanks for subtank, the pirate feature caught my attention, it's a bit of a thing we have going up here. I bought some bell tanks on my last order, they work ok but when I saw the pirate ones I thought they looked different. They are, mine are only 25mm, these are 42mm so will def hold more and are in my basket now.

It's pre-order, so every chance the other two colours will show up soon.
I've seen some reports of leaking on the tanks, so I'll wait for some user reviews to appear.
I'm more interested in the 4ml tank if it works well. Once the 1.5ohm coils appear to buy for the Subtanks though, I may just stay with those.

I'm totally with you there Bob.The thing with this company I'm working for is they pay good wages.Its £9.77 p/h and 30% shift allowance.Thats good money for us up in the valleys.So people will keep going back and if they won't,you can guarantee our Eastern European friends will

I'm going to wait for real reviews as well, £50 might not be a lot but it's too much to throw at rubbish at the moment.
Wise I think. I find it all too easy to be blinded by the hype sometimes. Actual reviews are usually the best if not 100% sure.

Two Samsung batteries
Nice on both counts! I've liked how accurate the online colours are for the Coolfire too!
I see MEP are out of the Subox at the moment. It is neat - I think it's really smart. Could be tempted by a white one at some point seeing I already like the subtank.
I wish the batteries came in black ..can see the pink of the one I'm using through the Kanger cut-out air vent logo on the side!

I suppose we have to say 'it's a job' these days. Not easy to just find a job or change to another.
The way things have been in the past year or two, I wouldn't want to work out how much I earn per hour! :laugh: Always hoping things improve!

My 2 shipped today, might arrive in the morning if I'm lucky (I've had other RMSD stuff arrive on a Saturday even though I haven't opted for Saturday delivery)

Those or the Africans, that's what stuffed the rail unions, none of them joined, scabbed when we went out on strike, they soon squealed though when they got into trouble and got sacked, we had no sympathy for them whatsoever.

@Bobw1951

GB claim to have the Snowwolf in stock.Don't know if i believe them:unsure:Or will it be another 2 month wait.

£65 with discount code..SonwWolf200w..(if you are interested,make sure you spell the dizzy code incorrectly,as i have typed it).

They are liars, they just want to get your money - wait for it to become available elsewhere - I definitely won't be dealing with them again.

What's them Keeppower like Bob, any good? Think it's time I replaced some.

As good as if not better than the AWTs we got, and better than the Samsungs & LGs, and may even be better than the VTC4, it's the one I prefer in my Power mods after the VTC5, just ordered another 4 x 2
