Hmmmmm. I got my torch about 2 weeks after ordering it. Unfortunately it was from the bad batch and broke on its first outing. I sent it back to niknaks two weeks ago yesterday. Salvo in the US are yet to receive my torch for repair (two weeks after niknaks got it back). I still have absolutely no idea when I will have it back. I cant believe it takes two weeks to send something to the US. And once they get it they still have to fix it or replace it and then send it back.
So im still in the dark 5 weeks after placing my order.
I seem to here a lot of stuff on here about good quality service from niknaks and salvo but that is not what I have experienced. In my opinion Salvo should have replaced the torch with a new one (without the batch problem) straight away rather than leaving me in the dark (pun intended).
It wasnt much fun diving the Robert at the weekend in poor viz with a backup torch.
Its such a shame as for the one dive when it did work it was amazing.
