With e-cigs, what determines a "cigarette's worth" is very subjective, since you're going on approximations. With a real cigarette, you smoke it til it's gone, and there's no question about how many you've smoked. Now, having said that, I've noticed that the cartridge of the 901 can sometimes retain juice while not producing vapor. You might consider what's been called the "straw mod", where you get the smallest coffee stirrer-type straw you can find, cut it a certain way, and slip it in the cartridge to improve airflow in to the cart as the juice is used up.

Here's a link to explain it all: Cart Mod for better refilling - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

When you stop getting vapor, but your battery is still good and the atomizer doesn't seem clogged up, pull the wadding out of the cart with a pair of tweezers. If it's still wet, the above trick will add a couple or 3 more "cigarette's worth" to your cart life.

so i been using my KR808D-1 for about a week now

here is what i like:

very easy to use
great throat hit
long battery life, one battery lasts me all day
lots of vapor

now here is where the selling point comes is with the cartridge, the cartridge has the atomizer built in and is suppose to last about 250 puffs, and you do not have to mess with refilling and maintenance of cleaning of the atmoizer. they are called cartomizers and come in pack of 5 and can find them for anywhere for $6 - 12 depending where you get them and if on sale

BUT here is the big BUT, I found them to be very inconsistent, i found some cartridges to last an extremely long time, and others to last 20 puffs...I had a pack of 5 cartomizers and 2 of them only lasted 20 puffs, my thrid ones seems to be going very srtong at least 60 puffs now

reading on the e-cig boards this is a known problem and one downside

You can supposedly refill these cartomizers but they never taste the same


So to sum up this would be the perfect e-cig if the cartomizers would really last like they are suppose to...


In the meantime I went back to smoking a few real cigarettes...i am just getting too frustrated...dealing with all this...just not worth it anymore...and spending way too much money finding the perfect one..I think I spent over $100 between the 510 and KR808D-1 and all the juices and cartomizers and it still does not feel like a real cigarette no matter what.


I am just going to make sure i only smoke a few a day like when i am drinking...and that is it..

Do you guys know anything about "manual" batteries? I got an email from an e-cig company saying they were selling them now, but there wasn't much info on it. This was for a dse-901 model (see this is why I love this model, can mix-n-match with whatever)

a manual battery is a battery that has a button on it..that when you inhale it will not cut you off and can inhale until you stop holding the button so you can get a really nice throat hit


usually automatic battery has a 5-8 second automatic cutoff time where you have to stop inhaling

Do they need to get charged, like the regular batteries? Thats probably a dumb question, now that I think about it.

Do you have one of those?

yes my 510 came as manual battery and it charges just like any other battery


to be honest i stopped using e-cigs for now.

and just went back to nat sherman cigs...

my one battery on my KR808D-1 died already...i am getting a replacement..but these things are too much of a pain in the ass for me

i just cannot be bothered anymore and spending way too much money trying to find the perfect e-cig LOL

the Janty KISS-Boxes have manual buttons, and apparently phenomenal throat hits, amounts of smoke, ease of use, and reliability.

it was one of my choices before i landed on the dse cause of your guys' insight.

Nat Sherman? Are those foreign?

Lately I've been getting a craving for Dunhills, you know, in the red flat pack. But there is nowhere around here that sells them
