should I order or stay clear?

[TAZER]

Hi, I have been vaping for 4 weeks now using an EGO-T and to be honest I'm getting bored of it so I have been looking for something new and I stumbled across this while doing a search, GS-SUB 2200mAh LCD Screen Single Stem 3V-6V Ajustable Voltage Metal Body E-cigarette E Cig General Flavor High Content - Blue - 14/7/2012 - New Arrival

It looks good and the price is good so I'm looking for a bit of advice should I order it or get something different?

I assume the bottom part is the battery, how much is a secondary battery, I can't imagine just 1 battery would be enough unless you are going to use the ego-t as the backup while it charges. Also, is it a 510 connection or proprietary since it doesn't really say.

I would be careful buying from out of the country. For one thing it will probably take a month to receive it in the mail. Also, if you have any malfunction with it you'll find it much harder to get any satisfaction with distant suppliers. Just my thoughts.

There is a place in dallas that sells them, i believe. The store is called goodvapes.com They dont put them on their website so you would have to call them.

That is a "Tox Cannon". It is the newer version with the metal controller head. The normal Tox Cannons have two battery bodies, one for an 18650 and a smaller one for an 18350 sized battery. That PV only comes with the larger battery body.

The older Tox Cannons with the plastic controller were a disaster. In fairness, the newer ones are better. But why?

You can get a V-Tube kit for $53 shipped, with a 1 year warranty at apollo. You can get the stainless version for $73 shipped or the Chrome for $60. Any of these have a much better record than any Tox and you'd be dealing with apollo, who has excellent service.

I 'm not sure why you'd go for that over a lavatube. You get the same performance and overall appearance but, the lavatube doesn't us a proprietary battery.

It uses a regular 18650 battery. The bottom part is just a battery holder. The top part contains the electronics. It's supposed to have two battery carriers so that you can have a shorter version. Kind of a twofer. You would get a full size and a mini in one kit. The original Tox Cannons included both battery carriers. They are standard 510 connectors.

Pbusardo did a review on the original Tox Cannon and it broke during the review. Later, he did a review of the newer, all metal, version and it still wasn't very impressive. For an economical tubular VV, you still can't beat one of the Lavatube versions.

That is the problem i have, I don't know anything about it, I've asked questions to their customer support but I either don't get a reply or I ill get a reply in broken English.

Hi TAZER

Chrissie has a great list of UK suppliers...what about checking with one of them...might be more convenient for you ?

I grabbed her list link for you :
ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK - E-cigarette & E-liquid Suppliers List.

I think that alone is telling you, you should walk away.

At the moment, the good Chinese suppliers like health cabin for instance, are putting up statements on their websites that they are stopping shipping to the Uk during the time the Olympics are on as there are bound to be massive delays.

 

[perpetua]

Like our American friends, I really don't know why you're looking
at this Tazer . . . there's a plethora of UK Vendors selling the V2
Lavatube at very reasonable prices, by the time you factor in the
available discount codes.

Then, in the hopefully unlikely event of any problems, it's easy enough
to post back a defective device.

Lisa at Cloud 9 has also just had stocks of the new version VMax, her
customer service is outstanding . . . .

They do not even know what they are selling. If you look at the comments, someone asked if they could buy a spare battery. The response was a link to a page full of eGo batteries. No battery on that page would fit it. It uses a standard cylindrical lithium and they don't even sell that type of battery.

If you want to know everything about that unit, go to Youtube and search "Pbusardo Tox". Or, look for other reviews on the Tox Cannon because that is what it is. They just gave it a different name and stripped off one of the battery housings.

theres the new 1.5t version lavatube at VaporBeast.com it has the 3.2 amp switch so its capible of running lr carts at high volts, also its a nice kit for 69.99 (they have both the 18650 and the 18350 models) chrome also has threading for ego equipment or it can be used as a Crazy drip well. cant wait for mine

 

[sailorman]

Oh, my bad. Didn't realize you're in the U.K..
Regardless, any of the Lavatubes would be better than that Tox. Apollo even has a UK site, so you could get a V-tube for the same price. The discount code is still good at the U.K. site. I checked on it for a guy in Ireland and apollo referred me to the U.K. site. Apolloecigs.uk.com

The answer, TAZER, is clearly to stay clear.
Many MUCH better options have already been given here in this thread.

I would stay clear and just get from the major reputable vendor. Do a search on utube or ecig reviews for what you want.
