Review of the DSE-108 e-cig
Yesterday I received a nice little package from Vapor Country...
I had been anxiously awaiting this ecig, as NateDogg did a nice job reviewing it and I was looking forward to getting one for myself... Click here to see NateDogg's Review ... and here's Nate's video review of it... http://www.youtube.com/v/Luy106fsijE So I wanted to give my impressions on it, with some pics of my own... Please forgive me if this rehashes Nate's outstanding review just a bit...  Here's the box.... nice, professional package!   Opening the box, you see a nicely printed manual and certificate of authenticity, with the ecig itself and an extra battery held very securely...  Pulling the top section out reveals the inner packaging...  Opening the outer two packages gives us the charger unit...  Opening the central package reveals the cartridges for this new e-cig, 3 "Marlboro" and 3 "Menthol"...  Here's a close-up of the contact end of the battery...  ... and a close-up of the contact end of the atomizer...  Now here's a close-up of the business end of the atomizer. I have to say, I haven't seen another quite like it.  A shot of the interior of the cartridge, showing the inner cart...  ... and here's a DSE-108 cartridge next to the inner cart, with comparison to a M-401 inner cart and a Blu inner cart. The DSE-108 cart obviously holds considerably more juice than either the 401 or the Blu...  I spent a little time scanning, modifying and compiling a PDF of the nice manual and you can download a copy here: http://www.filesavr.com/dse-108-manual It's just under 4MB  Reading the manual lets you know you are supposed to charge the battery initially for 8 hours...  ...So I did... The 108 goes together nicely, feels like a quality piece...... first puff proved to be a considerably easier draw than I expected, produced a pretty decent amount of vapor, and I could feel it in the throat!  There's about a 6-second cutoff on a draw but that's plenty of time to get a good hit from the 108. It produces comparably to a 901 but has a much easier draw! The flavor of the standard supplied cart was OK, not horrible, but I thought it would be a LOT better with a good quality refill... and I was correct... The 108 allows you to taste your vapor very nicely and doesn't tend to overcook it like a 510 can if you don't allow it to cool down long enough. Overall, this ecig is a pretty damn nice unit! Would I recommend it? Absolutely! I haven't found the life of a charge as of yet because though I've been vaping on it for a few hours and drained a couple of carts, it's still going strong! |

May I say.
I like your style. I don't like reading regular reviews. Too placid and redundant. Your succinct and I like that. Plus I'm drawn to books with pictures so this is an epic win. Very fun to read. If you have a way of uploading a youtube review along side of this and feel comfortable doing so I feel your reviews would be just awesome.

 Your reply just made the time I spent on this worth every second ... and you've motivated me.... I'll work on a video to accompany this review, probably have it done in a couple/few days, hopefully.... Now for an update on the initial review... After vaping on this ecig a while, I'm loving it!  One thing, though.... the vapor production started dropping off a little quicker than I expected so I popped the cartridge off and pulled out the polyester and it was still mostly full...  The polyester filling was stuffed in there pretty tightly... WAY too tightly....  I cut a piece of fluval aquarium filter just a little bit larger than the interior cartridge and put 19 drops of juice in it and WOW! MUCH nicer!!!  : The 108 is producing MUCH better vapor and the cart is draining WAY beyond the stock configuration! This one is a contender for my favorite PV!
