As said before the batteris have the ultra-sensitive senson in so they do go off all the time, which if like me you have the cig in your case in your pocket does cause battery and vapour loss. Im switching to a dura-c so I can make sure my batteries only go on when I want them too.

On a plus side im nearly a month into my first attomizer, I have done the pepsi trick on it once, and its smoking happily. So they are a good quality unit. I like bestecig because they fill the carts with decent juice and you have a choice. I got flu cured which is lovely. Also the carts are cheap, almost not worth bothering with blank carts, might as well get a bit of juice in em.

If I were you get the 901 with passthrough with 10ml bottle of juice for $20. its very good value. My passthrough is working well.

Jim.

I don't actually care about the sensitivity as I like really easy draws, but do they provide the same amount of power and everything else?
In my experience bestecig is great.... except for the batteries. Yes they are super-sensitive, which I could live with, but I have had a huge failure rate for them also. Of the 14 batteries that I have 10 have died. I do have a bad habit of overfilling with liquid but i haven't had nearly the amount of failures with my other batts.

Others on the forum have reported similar issues. I sent an e-mail to BECI and he is going to replace them and said that they had a bad batch of batteries and now they have a different batch. I don't know if the new batts will be any better but that's what his e-mail stated.

BECI customer service is always great to replace faulty hardware and you don't have to send it back, which is nice.

Other than the failures the batts are functionally the same. Same power just more sensitive switch.

Okay, update here. BestEcigs attys ARE 901's. I'm a little mad because a specific forum member here told me there were 4075s specifically and that's why I ordered from them. They are NOT stamped SLB on the bottom, but after further looking at them the wicks are higher and they are 901s. I like the 4075s much better, and these will work on a mod that I'm getting, but I'm a little bummed here.

So does anyone know who DOES sell 4075s from China?

Totally Wicked sells RN4075's, "Mini Cigarette." Ordered parts from them thinking they were true 901's. Nope, wick is lower and no SLB stamp.

I do find it odd that your 901 doesn't have SLB stamped on either the batt or atty's connectors. That's what makes them a noticable 901, also the inner diameter of the connector is much more narrow than RN's in comparison to the 901.

I didn't intend to mix the two, since I have heard and experienced difficulty in crossing the two. I also don't like having their logo stamped on my atty.

With inconsistent quality from different manufacturer's, you'll have inconsistent build. Maybe you do infact have a 4075 with a higher wick.

Well I just don't get it. Yes I have the TW 4075 and I like the 4075s. I want to order bulk wholesale from China not pay $13 an atty. But anyhow, ya these wicks are higher than the 4075s and they are NOT stamped SLB on them, but when you look at their chargers, they are rounded, which the rounded ones are the true 901's and the square chargers are the 4075 parts, so that is how you can tell what parts people carry sometimes, just like the person above had said here, but I was SPECIFICALLY told by a member here to order from there because they were 4075s. But now I really think they aren't because of the wicks, this is all so strange. lol Also what the problem is between the parts is that the 901 attys will work on the 4075 batteries, but the 4075 attys will not work on the 901 batteries. So I'm safe either way because I only have 4075 batteries and I hate the batteries anyway and use passthroughs and I have a mod coming so I guess I don't care, except I like the way the 4075s heat hotter.

Now I just have to find a china wholesaler to buy in bulk that carries the 4075 parts so I can order some of them too. Sometimes this stuff just gets to be a pain in the butt.

I pulled one of these out that I got and I didn't get to test it very long, but the draw was super hard. When I pulled out my new TW 4075 yesterday, the draw was nice right off the bat, so who knows!!

Lucky--just as the BE112 is an 801 with a high bridge, but it is not stamped--so do not rely on just the stamp. The BE112 is the best atomizer I have ever used. IMO it is the best built one as well with much heavier gauge wiring, higher bridge with a much thicker wicking mesh that does not flake---Sun

But what does this have to do with the 901/4075? I don't know anything about the 801s nor do I have one. When I was wanting to order these, I specifically asked you if they were 901 or 4075s cuz I kept saying I wanted 4075 and you said they were 4075's.

Lucky--you did not hear that from me young lady!! LOL--I have known for a fact that BEST does not sell 4072's or 4075's--they sell 801's and 901's!(There Versions)!!! Besides the 4072 and the 4075 are IMO real burners that run way to hot, waste e-liquid, and cause a residue build up way to quick-------Sun

Sun, I do wish I had the PM's I deleted them, but I was very firm with asking you if they were the 4075s and you told me they were. You were the only one I discussed this with. That is the reason I went with them. Maybe we had a missunderstanding about it. Hopefully, it's going to turn out to not be that big of a deal. All I know is the first one I pulled out and tested the draw was super hard, but I have to give it more of a chance to get it going, but my passthrough died and I HATE these 180 mah batteries. So we'll just see. I don't have any 901 batteries so I'm not going to have a conflict with these attys not working on my little batteries.
