Soooooo......I ended up with the RX just before crimbo for £30.00 something delivered and it is still the business....I use it much more than my Hcigar VT200.
The thing about "Price Fixing" by Wismec/Joyetech that I mentioned in my OP.....well just before crimbo I also wanted a Noisy Cricket and couldn't find one in the UK. I found one on a Chines site that I had never used before....it worked out at £13.00 delivered......I didn't bother reading down the page, I just bought it. Later, I checked the delivery status and it was shown as "Pending".... so I looked back at the listing.
It was at this point that I noticed that the listing showed in greyed out print "We cannot supply Wismec products to the UK, any orders containing Wismec products shall have them removed before the rest of the order is dispatched. The amount of the removed goods will be refunded to your account after 3 days".....or words to that effect. Further proof of Joyetech wanting to secure inflated UK retail prices.
So after crimbo I checked the status again...it was still showing as "Pending". So I dropped them a line explaining that I had ordered before seeing the restraint and that it is illegal to have restrictive trade practice within the UK based on a country by country prejudice. I went on to say either please dispatch my order or refund within the next two working days. The upshot was, they dispatched it!
I have been running the Noisy Cricket for the last week....what a blinding mech, to say that it is awesome is a massive understatement....well worth the gamble at £13.00!
