Thanks very much @VapeSnow! So including shipping (at $100 divided by 20 people) the mods would cost approximately $28 / R474 and the kits $ 43 / R728? (at current close to R17 exchange rate). I know that this cannot be predicted with any certainty, but can you very roughly estimate how much would be added by customs?
Group Buy - Mini Volt Kit by C.O.V | Worlds Smallest Mid Power Mod
- Thread starter Pixstar
- Start date
I have no idea what customs will work out. Maybe there is someone else that has more experience or info.
Would you guys still like to do a groupbuy of this mod or are we going to cancel it.
I was hoping that someone, as you said in your previous comment, would chip in with a guestimate of customs duties, VAT etc.
However, I would be keen as long as it hopefully doesn't go too much over R 550 (mod only).
Would it perhaps be possible to add a poll with a cutoff date (as per your supplier's e-mail - stock is limited) at the start of the thread, with admins allowing you access to the usernames of those that have indicated that they are in at the end of that date? @Silver ?
I'm in. Was hopping someone could assist with the customs duties...Regarding the kit, I'm hoping there's a RBA coil for it...?
Ill have a look. But it does not help we are just three guys wanting to buy this mod. More guys cheaper the price.
There's no RBA section for the standalone tank, the C.O.V. Vengeance, to which this Vengeance Mini tank is closely related - so I think the chances would be slim (although I would think that technically it would be possible to make a single coil RBA for a 20 mm tank. It seems that Kanger couldn't do it for the Subtank Nano, but the extra 1.5 mm of this tank might just make the difference)- the reason why I decided that I would rather just get the mod and use a Gobllin Mini with a single coil.
Thanks @Lingogrey , makes sense as it's only a 20mm tank. So I'm still in, mod only.
Maybe have a rsvp put on the thread so we can work it out?
Yes i agree. @Silver can you help us here?
I'm still keen, might even take two or three mods but I'd still like to have a better idea of where the final price will land.
The kits look great but I don't want kits if I don't know that coils will be easily available.

Yea this mod look stunning. But remember its very hard for me to put a exact price on this as i don't know what customs will work out to. Vendors cant even put a price on there stuff until they received it from customs. So its very hard for me to work out.
Don't need an exact price bud just a ballpark guesstimate. I'm imagining between R500 and R600? Does that sound right? Plus the cost of you sending them out.
@VapeSnow - This won't effect whether I would want to order or not, but just for interest sake - How long is your supplier's estimated shipping time until it reaches SA? Whether or not it arrives in January still might (or might not) effect the decision of some who are on the fence of whether to buy or not, as it would be an upfront amount of approximately R 470 right now (for mod only - if 20 people order) and the duties, VAT, the delivery costs locally from you to buyers etc. after payday

They said they will use Ups courier. So waiting period wont be long. I would say for now if we are 20 ppl R550??? I REALLY DONT KNOW IF CUSTOMS ARE GOING TO SCREW US.
Thanks @VapeSnow I realize that you don't have any control over what happens with customs. The short waiting period is very good news as far as the "I want it now" factor is concerned, but I thought that if customs do decide to screw us it might be a softer blow if it's a bit later. Thanks for taking the trouble with this and I do hope that enough people pitch in to make this happen!
Am I correct in thinking that customs cannot bill us more than 14% VAT on this class of goods?
I'm still in - prefer mod only...
@Rob Fisher imports a lot of vapegear maybe he can give us some info.
Technically, SARS can add 20% to the value of the goods and then Levy 14% VAT. (because it is electronics). That said, I'm sure most of you (even with FT) have noticed it is less. If it comes in at R500, customs can't be more than R90.
Put me down for mod only please?
