DSE-601 E-Pipe review by asidrave

[bri1270]

Sorry chef - haven't had mine long enough to learn any tweaks that would help. I will say that my prefilled carts are all saturated with liquid, so I would guess that's at least close to how they should be filled. I've had to refill twice today and I jacked the cart all the way up and didn't have any flooding issues.

Does anyone know where we can get batteries for the 601?

And can someone explain to me why we have to charge the battery for 12 hours when all it's really doing is sitting on the charger not charging for about 8 of those 12 hours?

The battery is trickle charging the process has not stopped when the led goes green

Thanks Charles - so when it's "trickle charging" it won't even be a little warm to the touch?

Also - Litcig and Wayne at HG are both OOS on the batteries...Already checked them. I can't seem to find a protected version at the usual alternative sites either.

Generally When trickle charging a battery will be room temp.

In response to my own post about reduced vapor, I pulled my cart and have been vaping off the liquid in and around the atomizer. Vapor is is increasing with every draw. I am guessing this device floods pretty easily and a drain each night might be a good best practice. Waiting for the all-knowing asidrave to check in and support or correct my concepts.

By the way, folks, I love this device. If I could do it all over again, I would own a DIY Magnum device (or an SD, GG, Zi Moshi, etc) and the 601.

Folks, help me out here with some suggestions. I am getting reduced vapor, off and on, from my week old 601. I am only using cartridges. Batteries are fresh from the charger.

I know that flooding or a dry atomizer can cause this. I drained the pipe a day ago and cleaned up the inside of the atomizer chamber and it worked much better.

Today, vapor is weak again and a 'blow out' did not seem to work so I ran the cleaning cycle for about 15 seconds and loaded up one of the carts that came with the kit. (Nasty stuff; my wife hates it). Still seems a bit weak on vapor, throat hit is minimal, at best, but better than the cart I filled.

Suggestions? When I top off a cart I make sure no liquid pools on the top so flooding may not be the primary problem. I did consider that the juices I may be using do not produce big vapor. Perhaps I am puffing too much on it and it cannot keep up with me? Or am I just getting used to the pipe that it no longer impresses me or am I forgetting something basic? Thanks.

I found that it was only a battery problem when my 601 started to have reduced vapor. I put in a new one and its like new again.

Even when I thought the battery was fully charged it was bad. The new battery makes all the difference. How do you check to see if a battery is gone bad?

ok...i just finished my follow up video on the 601 and im uploading it on youtube now.

i will make a new post when its ready

believe it or not...my 601 has never flooded. it has sometimes gotten a bit more liquid in the atomizer than it should...yet never to the point that i couldn't vape it.

it would make a gurgling sound and get a tremendous vapor cloud from it

Wow! This looks like something I could buy my dad as a Father's Day/Birthday gift! His birthday is in a month, hence the combination of the two. Wish I could afford to get him a separate present for each day.

Anyway, he used to like Hav-A-Tampa Jewels Sweet cigars. From the review, I'm wondering if this is close enough that he would enjoy it. Does anyone know or has anyone tried it? I guess I'd have to buy it myself to know for sure...

His fiance doesn't like him smoking those because of the smell, so this seems like a good alternative.

I forgot why I was asking for a comparison since the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a stupid question. If you can answer this for me, thank you!
