Pros: I've had this for about a month now, and have to say, I'm very pleased with it ! The Batteries last me 8 hours, and I have it in my mouth most of the day at work. They are still holding their charge as of new, I have had to replace the atomizers, but accepted that's just wear and tear.
Cons: No 5 button press turn off as in the genuine Ego. just be careful when in pocket. But that's my only concern.
Other Thoughts: Buy some juice to refill, the stuff that comes with it isn't that good, and probably contains no nic. Don't think any of the liquid sold here does either.
Bottomline: For less than half the price of a genuine Ego, you can't go wrong. I've been using the cheap auto switch cigs before, and didn't realise what I was missing !

Pros: I ordered two of these, and was really surprised to received Kingston brand. Fits in the adapter ok, only I've had cheaper ones before and they were a little stiff to insert.
Cons: None I can think of yet ! ...A minor point, maybe that they are used.
Other Thoughts: I use them to store my MP3s for playing in the car and as far as I can see these are genuine 1gb as I've put 900mb of them on there.
Bottomline: A great buy and well worth the price, I'll be ordering some more for sure ! Mine did come with some Chinese music and mp4 clips on them, are they already used? I don't care, they work fine for me.

Pros: Great trick, fooled a few people, who had no idea how the trick was done, Nice little set up for the price. Metal sword and metal ring.
Cons: Build quality is a little suspect, mine came with the sword in pieces, don't know if that's how they do come, but the handle wouldn't clip together, so a spot of super glue solved the problem. A little noisy when performing it.
Other Thoughts: It would be so much better if DX didn't show the solution in the picture !
Bottomline: Good price for a good trick ! I'm sure a lot of your friend won't know how it's done.

Pros: Nice looking collar, although mine came as yellow and not blue, little paw prints look good. Nice clip type of fastener, shouldn't come undone.
Cons: Not too sure about the glow in the dark bit, the paw prints don't seem to be glowing as far as I can see. No elastic stretchy bit, in case your cat gets it stuck on some thing.
Bottomline: Good looking collar, will suit all types of cats, just a little concerned about the safety to your cat with it not having any sort of release if snagged, unlike other collars.

Pros: Knife came very sharp, so be careful. Nice and loose, so ready to use. Build quality is pretty good.
Cons: After a while of use, mine decided to let go of a couple of the screws, luckily I managed to find them, as already stated, they should have really all been one sort, makes finding something to tighten them with a little difficult.
Other Thoughts: I'm going to have to buy some locktight and a set of torx and allen drivers to sort it out.
Bottomline: For the price, you cant go wrong, it's a good knife ! Just keep an eye on the screws because they will come loose.

Pros: Received a black pen, which looks a lot nicer and also conceals the camera better I think. Picture quality is really good, i was very surprised, although the sound is a little below par, it's better than nothing. The pen is a little over sized but not too much to make it look out of place.
Cons: Build quality was a little suspect on the one I received. The lack of instructions although there is enough information in the other reviews. I do find that I have to use the reset button on occasions, when the pen seems to lock up and not respond.
Other Thoughts: The insides came loose when I first pressed the button, and fell inside, I managed to take it apart and repair it, but when I unplugged it from the usb socket it pulled it in again, so I fixed it with a drop of super glue to keep it all secure again. Having seen the inner working I would say that the battery would be replaceable if you could find one the same.
Bottomline: It may sound that I'm not very happy from what i've written above, but I really am! apart from the above mentioned problem, this is a great item that gives great results ! Don't forget the price too !

Pros: Well I have to say just how impressed I am with this watch ! firstly it looks great on, the build quality is pretty good and the strap with some nice detailing on it, is comfortable to wear. not too heavy but not cheap and light.
Cons: Cant really think of any apart from the cheap packaging but i think most of these watches come in just a plastic envelope.
Other Thoughts: A really great watch, cant fault it !
Bottomline: Buy it, decent enough to use as best, looks like it cost a lot more than it actually did !

Pros: For the price you pay for this you really cant go wrong ! appears to keep good time, the leather strap is pretty good quality. Thickness of watch is quite slim.
Cons: Not really any, but the face is bigger than it appears. packaging is a bit feeble, just a plastic envelope and a bit of bubble wrap, a box would have been nice, but then again you ain't paying a lot for it !
Other Thoughts: You cant really see it from the pictures but the glass face is not flat, it's slightly domed with twelve flat faces to it, this watch would also suit a man too as it's a normal size.
Bottomline: If you need a second watch, you wont go far wrong with this one !

Pros: Sound quality is reasonable, although a bit low on treble, certainly worth the cost, fits your ear well. interesting colour, not sure what the difference is between the different colours, maybe nothing !
Cons: too early to say if they will stand the test of time, bit fiddly to change the rubber insert.
Other Thoughts: would have liked some sort of case to put them in.
Bottomline: Buy them if you need a spare set. for the price you cant really go wrong, and if you're not too bothered about sound quality, plus you wont mind if the dog chews them up !

Pros: Cheap, works as a lighter, knife ok for light work.
Cons: Uses a lot of gas, knife is a little flimsy but sharp enough, also a bit loose when extended. Build quality is a little suspect.
Other Thoughts: Impress others when they see it, although it is more of a gimmick than anything else. could take your nostril out if you press the wrong button.
Bottomline: For the price it's a great buy. I bought 10 !

Pros: Value for money.
keeps time.
Cons: Very light,feels cheap, clasp was a little week but i bent it and feels better now.
Other Thoughts: This is not an automatic watch, which I thought from the discription 'Winding watch, battery free' I think that needs rephrasing. As i've only got a small wrist, i had to remove a couple of links, not an easy job ! But for the money you cant really complain, all in all for the price i'm quite happy, at least I have a watch I can wear at work and not worry if I break it.
Bottomline: If you want a cheap watch buy it.

Pros: Great value, Bright beam, Feels quite sturdy.Friends will be impressed.
Cons: Button could be a little better, dosent always seem to contact properly.
Bottomline: Buy one, you know you want to ! I dont think you'll find one for a better price. That green beam just goes on forever, be careful of reflections indoors, probably wouldnt be good for your eyes !

Pros: Small size, value for money, reasuring for someone walking alone. I had this for a week befor I eventually decided to zap myself, all I can say is ouch ! It hurt like hell, and that was just a quick prod, it left two red marks on my skin. I was with a group of friends and one of them jumped on another from behind and zapped him in his back, it instantly dropped him to his knees.( They are still friends ) I can say that this will do what it says on the tin, as to wether it's 600,000 volts, I have no way of knowing, but it has more than enough to do the job.
Other Thoughts: Loud cracking blue spark is a deterrent on it's own, and it's got a torch !
Bottomline: This is a great item to carry if you are walking alone, it will give you that little bit of reasurance if you are attacked that you can fight back without causing any leathal damage.
