Today, my husband was in a shop (a sort of local supermarket), and the chap getting served in front of him asked for 10 Benson & Hedges. He gave the shopkeeper a £5 note, only to be told he hadn't given him enough!
He had to give him another 24 pence.
I was very surprised, but looking at the Tesco website, I see the price of 10 B&H are £5.19 there.
My missus smokes Sterling one of the cheaper brands, they have been reducing the number in the 20s pack for a while now keeping the price roughly the same at about £6.80, they starter at 19 and are now down to 17 in the pack - when May comes and the TPD goes into force, anything less than 20 will become illegal as will Menthol ciggies (although they have a year to get rid of stock)

Bought loads on UKV and sold one on AAEC, another pointer use paypal buying & selling not F&F option, include the p&p costs & paypal fee when posting the price wanted.

Cool, I wonder how tricky it is to get verified. I'll take a look at some other forums. I've used POTV before.
Presume classifieds here on ECF would be much more popular in the US.

With most forums, you have to have made xx number of posts then apply (POTV) my thoughts on ECF are the same, not sure if they have a separate area for other countries.

- mind you back in the days of mainly mech mods I always liked Innokin tanks

Thought it would be a good replacement for the subbys as an out/driving tank.
When i started vaping Innokin's products where all i used (for approx 3 months),they where always good quality and well made.
And i'm thinking the premades will also be better.

100 posts on UKV,20 posts on POTV and good to go on AAEC but if you're new there they insist you introduce yourself in the right section.
I think your best place to sell a VS would be UKV or AAEC.I've seen them on POTV and they don't seem to sell,they all want the latest gear, high watt big clouds and very much buy in trends.

Thanks for the tips. Was just looking on POTV and you're right a lot of pretty new gear.

I'll probably check out AAEC.

Don't suppose anyone here wants to buy a VS rDNA 40? ;)

AAEC have changed their rules now due to a lot of new members just doing the introduction then posting stuff for sale and not getting involved.

:laugh: wondered when that was coming - how much you looking for - not that I want another one

ha ha :pervy:

They're still about £100 new so although the dna 40 is outdated now I was hoping to get £40 as it's worked flawlessly for me (none of the dna 40 screen glitches either) and the finish is only marked on that lip on the base around the screen from putting it down (you know where I mean) and at the top around the 510 from screwing down atties.

EDIT: see a few sold on AAEC for more than that although in slightly better nick so maybe I'll have a look on there a bit more when I have time.

It's up to the seller to stop the kiddies buying them.
Anyway the kids of today have got more money than i have:laugh:
Is that why they are banning menthol?Because it attracts the kiddies.
I'm sure when we were kids you always found ways of getting them, the coffee shop next door to my primary school sold them to us in singles 1d each, not sure what the problem was with the menthol, but could have something to do with no flavoured ciggies are allowed in the TPD

My oldest small screen one has no marks whatsoever, the large screen one which I bought at Vape Jam last year has a couple of dinks on one edge at the rear, but nothing on the base or 510, think I got those when it got knocked over once or twice

Seems fair Adam,the large screen VT40 goes for around that price as well.
Good mods for little money,when we paid £100+ 6/9 months ago.

Yeah it has been a solid performer.

Reason I might sell it is that my current favourite out and about tank is the bellus and my build on it works best at over 40 watts. Now my only regulated mod over 40w is my lavabox dna 200 and I don't want to use that as an out and about mod.

Will use the funds from the sale for something like an evic vtc mini that does 75w and would be perfect for out and about.

I was using the istick 50w for ages as my go to out and about mod but it's started autofiring intermittently. I searched for this issue and some people had it they think because juice leaked into the firing button and that has happened to me. I've taken it apart and cleaned it as best I can with paper towel and left it (taken apart) in the airing cupboard with the boiler in (warm dry cupboard) for several days to dry it out but it is still doing it. I took it with me just when walking the dog the other day and it autofired in my pocket and burned the wick in my goblin mini so I think I will just retire it :(

I've had a couple of mods where the atty has leaked and the juice has affected the board, so that the display goes all silly and the mod becomes useless to use, my VS DNA30 went that way, happened to my VModz as well, but I paid someone to repair that as it was quite expensive and luckily haven't had a problem with it since.
