Litecigusa.com's Havana e-cigar review - E-Cigarette Forum

Figurehead · 04-25-2009, 03:12 AM

OK, I just now video taped a review of all 5 Havana's I got and will post the video tomorrow. I have one that is causing me some concern. As you will be able to see in the video review, on the 3rd one I open and try, the battery light and reset hole blink on and off non stop. This concerns me a little bit. I used the excact same battery in each review.

The only other small problems I have are the cart material on 2 (I had to use 2 carts from 1 kit to review) comes out of the cart and gets stuck to the atomizers on every one I reviewed. NOT a major deal because if it happens with every cart, I will just take the fill out and reglue it back in with hot glue. I noticed it looks like they use very little glue on the carts as opposed to any other e-cigar cart I have used so this might be why. Once again, an easy fix on my end.

Another bad thing is the taste of the primer fluid in these. Does anyone have a dog's butt I can lick to get the taste out of my mouth? Again, not anything terrible, I'll just be glad when that taste is gone and I can taste the e-juice I put in instead.

I noticed that right out of the box these are slow to start producing vapor. I suspected dried atomizers so I primed each one with a drop or 2 of Marlboro 24 and right away they started to improve. I think after a day or so they will get even better.

Shipping was FAST and excellently packed, however it looks like my mailman had a bad day and was kind of rough. Nothing was broken, but everything inside of the kits was loose and had fallen out of it's little spot. Again, NOT litecigusa.com's fault.

I gave them a 2 thumbs up and will re-review them on vapor production in a day or so after I have gotten a chance to break them in.

4 out of 5 work pretty good and show definate signs of improving. The one with the battery problem will probably be sent back for a replacement.

Shawn has a bunch of these, if you want one, get it now.

blinking light? He's carrying DSE cigars now? (it would have two colors of LED)

Figurehead · 04-25-2009, 03:28 AM

I don't know about 2 colors, as I am severly color blind, but on one of the 5 I got, the light blinks nonstop like crazy. Right on the back of the manual it says DES701, so yup, that's what he's got. Not too bad once you get them broken in I think. I'm working the hell out of one of them right now and it's getting better each puff.

who? where?

Figurehead · 04-25-2009, 03:56 AM

Litecigusa.com the Havana e-cigar. Great price, turning out to be almost as good as the RN4062 sold by another.

asidrave · 04-25-2009, 04:10 AM

gotcha.......thanks :}

i have 2 of the ruyan e-cigars from ruyandirect

looking forward to your review

Figurehead · 04-25-2009, 08:19 PM

ok, I now have 2 of them broken in.... AWESOME. Probably just 1 grade below the RN4062. A great deal none the less. Pick one up!

I'm trying right now to get the video review up. It covers all 5 DSE701 e-cigars and will have to be done in 3 parts because of the length. Sorry about that.

Figurehead · 04-26-2009, 12:52 AM

URG! I can't figure out how to break it up into 3 parts. I'm such a comp-tard!

I may have missed this somewhere.. but..

Is there any way that putting the atty in a solvent (Ethanol) would get rid of the primer fluid taste?

It just seems like there has to be some brainless way to wash it out.
