Well I'm glad I read through this post, otherwise I would have made an order with KV. It all sounds pretty shady. Not the type of people I would like to do business with. I went with Vapables instead. Thanks

I am now looking up to you! After all the crap you went through, and stuck through, and venting through, here you are, an expert! You should totally have veteran under your name! Here Here to Stewie!!!

I received my order in three days and with no shipping costs from Vapables! I am realy impressed
. Now if only I had a Vape to try it 
. My order From Health Cabin has been at customs for about 5 days now
. I have no complaints about Health Cabin either, they shipped fast and provided me with a tracking number quickly, everything else is out of their hands.
My buddy that got me into vaping ordered from VK originally. I was looking on his site, being the only supplier I knew. I emailed about the T Rex myself, thinking ya bigger and badder than a 510, that's for me... he replied back about how great it was and that it was his go to setup blah blah... then I found this forum and read the horror stories on the t rex... and I knew I had to keep looking.
what this guy has done using crazy glue is friggin unbelievable. and then the attitude that followed. wow man. I think a boycott is in order unless he steps up and does the right thing here. I know I will be deleting his link in my browser favs.

I doubt he crazy glued the batteries himself I would suspect that it was the manufacturer. I seem to remember similar issues with the batteries when the t rex first came out. Perhaps this was their solution and they are getting sloppy with their quality control now.
Initially for me the T-Rex was a decent bit of kit and I did enjoy using it very much. I mean when the thing wasn't self destructing at it's weakest point it worked great and it played a role in getting me off the analogs so credit where credit is due. I say again tho that I didn't drop mine, didn't throw it at my dog in a game of fetch or whatever else you can think of...I pretty much just used it as one normally would use a PV. In total I had 4 batteries that failed rather quickly with seemingly normal use. Could the failures have been related to a combination of heat, adhesive choice, a bad batch of plastic, factory tooling issues etc? I don't know and can do nothing but speculate, say WTF and move on to something that works for me...which I have.
With respect to Vapors Kitchen...
Well when I stand back and ponder the whole ordeal something that comes to mind is that maybe they got sold on a not so great product too. It's like do they have an in house mechanical engineer that could evaluate the product and say hey that plastic center bit holding these things together could potentially be a source of problems? I highly doubt they have or ever will have an engineer on the payroll and with that in mind I guess I can understand why they would assume that I was doing something that was causing the product to fail in the way that it did.
Now for some good news...
This past Monday Vapors Kitchen issued a refund for the purchase price + taxes that I paid for my T-Rex starter kit.
I offer a thank you and a handshake to Vapors Kitchen for that

that's good then to see him do the right thing. it all worked out. forget my boycott then LOL
If you read my post on the eGo-T Review Thread, you will see the knock-off hardware I was sold by VK... It is NOT legit Tank parts and I will NOT be doing future business with him. End of story.
I have legit parts from NFN and there's no comparison, the Joye parts all line up/thread in flush, VK's hardware does not thread flush and the carts (while also having a rubber bottom cap versus the hard plastic cap on legit ones) also stuck out a solid 1.5mm from the atty. I tore the atty's apart and was shocked to find that the internals were not legit.
Purchase carefully from this supplier.

This isn't the first bad thing I've heard about VK...I hope that new vapers get the word....VK TAKE A BLOODY NOTE.
Yes, with all the options here in Canada, I've done business with three that are just fantastic for both the product and service. I will gladly promote and refer any of my friends to eVapers, NicFitNation and Northern Vapors.
I'm a new vaper here too, and was considering the T-REX because I LOVE the ring of light, I think it looks awesome. I'll now probably go with an eGo though.
However, the purpose of my post is to stand up and applaud the generosity and compassion I have found in this thread!! I think I'll stick around here a while.
Cheers!!

If I didn't just sink a bunch of dough on my Go-go (which I looooove) I would try that new eGo compatible piper that CDNVapor has!
