lord_casek Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 510's again....man.....I haven't owned one, but a lot of folks say that those suuuuuuuck. Also, the markup is huge. Vaporkings.com has better deals. Again, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, nor do I get free shit for recommending them. They have done me right every time, though. Chupa: If you read this, I popped one of the free pre filled carts on today. Marlboro flavored. Kinda chocolatey. Close enough to a red.

Weapon X Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i've had no problem with the 510 at all. the battery causes some inconsistency in the hits, but it's very minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 i've had no problem with the 510 at all. the battery causes some inconsistency in the hits, but it's very minimal. Manual or auto? Both my 810 and 910 are auto's and I really like both. 810 is a juice eater, though. Goes through a cart with a quickness. The 910 I've only had for 24 hours. Carts seem to last for some time. Hits are always nice. Batteries charge in a decent amount of time, unlike the 810 which takes a few hours to charge. I wish I would've picked up a personal vaporizer up a long time ago. My taste buds are coming back, I can breathe better than I could when I smoked analogs, my clothes don't smell funky, and I appear on the new DMX album. Thanks e cigs. Workouts are also getting easier. So far, there is nothing I can see that is bad about vaping to get a nicotine fix. I can't walk around smoking trees all day (which is my preferred stress reliever), but I can vape whenever/wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I spent much of last night reading reviews, details and other shit that may now come in handy, and figured now is as good a time as any to try this out, especially since i'm smoking so much inside my new place. Also ordered a 901 kit, an extra atomizer, some 24mg marlboro juice, and some 24mg flue-cured juice from esmokeyshack In all my reading i came across some info that may come in handy to some of you, involving cartridges. As i'm sure a couple of you may know, you don't have to continue buying cartridges, and instead you can just replace the poly wicking inside them and continue using the same casing. While browsing the e-cigarette forum, i started reading a thread about other materials people use instead of pure, non-treated poly. One person had the brilliant idea of using teabags, and it seemed like every single person who tried it was saying it held a lot more fluid than the standard poly cartridges, hit smoother and harder, and was far superior to any manufactured cartridge or cartridge filling that they had added themselves. Now, unfortunately i can't test this theory for a few days, but i can give you a really simple breakdown of how you can. 1. take a paperclip and use it to pull the polyester out of a cartridge 2. using a rolled up piece of paper towel, clean out the inside of the cartridge casing to get any juice/gunk thats stuck on the sides 3. take a tea bag, and remove the staple, string, and tea 4. cut off the sides of the bag, and then cut it in half (different carts might need it slightly smaller) and roll one of the halves up 5. slide it into the cart, and cut off any excess material that is sticking above the top of the cart. Make sure you're not jamming it in there, as you need it to be relatively loose for airflow 6. apply juice, vape, and report back Other nice thing about using the material from a teabag is that if when it starts getting gunked up, you can always take it out, wash it, let it dry and toss it back in instead of repeating steps 3 and 4. You can also buy bags or pure polyester (can't be flame retardant) from walmart, a fabric store, or pet stores (for fish tanks, i think). Any of these options are definitely cheaper than replacing the entire cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Break '92 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 From calling and talking to the guy from the website I ordered my kit from, and from reading the posts here, it seems like its these seemingly stoner type guys who set up shop and make websites to sell these. The dude I talked to was really cool and seemed very enthusiastic about vaping and extremely glad to talk to someone on the phone about it. Almost to the point where you start to think that this is the dude who invented the whole thing. Its all good though, nice to have a ray of excellent customer service shine through in these modern times where it has all but gone extinct.

Also: Pyramid teabag mod You can re use the stuffing in the carts by rinsing them with water and then letting them dry. Some are using blue styrofoam. Called "the slug" Marineland, called Foam Bonded Sleeve Rite Size "U" Chupa: If you get a DOA atty or battery, make sure to report it on vaporkings site. Rob will fix the problem with a quickness. Part of the reason I like them so much. Paladin: I drip on mine sometimes. I love the throat hits from the 901. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Bumping for 901 review: I was loving this the first day I had it, now even moreso. Vapes are consistent, battery life is good, and the size is perfect. There's a huge difference between the 801 vape quality and the 901 vape quality. On the 801, you have to draw big to get quality, the 901 not so much. I find myself enjoying vaping more with the 901. Something I was afraid of was not being able to drink and vape (drink bone is connected to the smoke bone) but the 901 really gives that cigarette feel and hit. Totally satisfied with this vaporizer.

MrChupacabra Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Just got mine like 30 minutes ago. Sent out tuesday from esmokeyshack, received today. So far i've tried the standard tobacco carts that it came with, and threw together a quick teabag cart(nh) with 24mg marlboro liquid. Both have a really weird aftertaste, but i'm hoping that'll subside as i break in the atomizer/get used to something that isn't an actual marlboro red. It definitely provides a bit of a throat hit, though not as much as an actual smoke. Or at least not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The really weird aftertaste is no longer present on the marb liquid. I'm guessing it was the atomizer. It still has a different aftertaste in comparison to a cigarette, but it'll be easy to get used to. Not bad so far, it does give the nicotine fix, but isn't quite as satisfying as smoking a cigarette for me yet. Granted, its been less than a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 http://www.esmokeyshack.com/dse901.html Reasonably priced one there. I'd recommend you also buy a second atomizer just incase one craps out. I ordered from them on tuesday and received it on thursday, so they're on top of their shit when it comes to getting orders out. Their marb liquid is pretty good too, haven't tried the flue-cured i got yet. Bear in mind i'm new to this though, so i don't have any other experience with other liquids. And don't be surprised if it tastes terrible for the first hour or so while the atomizer breaks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Forgot all about it to be dead honest. The bottle disappeared from sight while the marb red bottle did not, so naturally i went with whatever i spotted first. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. My buddy and his girlfriend have been in town for a few days visiting, and she's a smoker so i've been smoking more regular smokes and letting my buddy use the 901 with the 0 nicotine cart i got in the sample pack that came with the kit. He quit smoking probably 2 years ago now, but says just going through the motions with the 0 nicotine stuff is kinda soothing. He accidentally grabbed the 24mg marb red cart i had sitting out one morning though and was not too happy about that after a couple drags.

lord_casek Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Will be waiting. I'm considering ordering some. Just ordered some "blend" in 50ml (22 bones) from rockymountainvapor.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Break '92 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 So I got my 901. It came with a empty mouthpiece in it already, me being ignorant I tried it without a filter/juice in it. Then replaced it with a 'Low' mouthpiece. Pulls very nice. Kind of addicting. I can feel the nicotine. The kit I got came with 5 mouthpieces varying from no nicotine to very high nicotine. I also got an 18mg bottle of menthol juice. I don't know how long the cartridge I put in will last but when it runs out I am just going to refill it with the menthol. Even the vapor produced by it looks exactly like real smoke, it just disapates more quicker. From looking at the other ones out and reading the reviews it seems like the 901 is the top of the line and any other e-cig would be a waste. From my experience I'd have to say the 901 is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Break '92 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 So the Marlboro pack-in cartridge I was puffing on got old. I cleaned out the filter that was in it and put the menthol 18mg in there. Much much better. Thinking of getting a sampler pack and another atomizer along with a 10 pack of empty cartridges too. What are the flavors like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 So basically, if I use the blank tip it would be like the highest nicotine allowing cartridge. I thought that I read about a way to clean out the cartridges of what they come prefilled with so you can add your preferred flavor of juice. The Marlboro ones that came pre packed with it are getting old. Well, you take the empty blank and use it as a mouthpiece for when you drip. You can take out the old batting and rinse it in water/pure grain alcohol/whatever and then let it dry. Then you can repack and use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
