DSE103 and flavor issues - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Hoshnasi · 07-23-2008, 09:25 PM

This is my first post and I just received my first ecig this morning. The fun factor is still high, but I'm concerned I'm not going to stick with it considering the flavor. I got "regular" which I assumed would be tobacco. Instead it tastes like a Hello Kitty eraser smells, sweet and fruity. But a fruity that doesn't excist so you have no idea what it tastes like

Do I have options for flavors that taste like a real cigarette? I'd like to stick with the DSE-103, I want it to look like a real cig. Not having to spent another $70.00 would be nice too.

Thanks!!!

It's not smoke and it doesn't taste like smoke. I don't think anyone has yet found a true "tobacco" taste, although flue-cured tobacco flavor is excellent, as are the Janty RY4 cartridges.

Thanks for the quick reply! I do understand that it is indeed vapor I'm inhaling. I just really want something that is as close as possible.

Do you think the Janty RY4 carts will fit the DS103? I've searched the forums here looking for some options. Is the DSE103 a new model? Maybe there hasn't been much experimentation yet.

I truly don't know about that specific interchangeability. Even if a cart doesn't fit, however, you can remove the stuffing from it and put that in a cart that DOES fit. We have ways ....

The Janty carts are priced right, and if you find a source of E-Liquid, choose the flue-cured tobacco if it's a (sweet) tobacco taste you desire. All fruit flavors are flops commercially. And the menthol hasn't pleased menthol cig smokers.

We're currently trying to get better taste by using "tasteless" commercial liquid, to which we add a propylene glycol based flavor from a company called Bickfords.

I can describe the taste of my new penstyle tobacco carts from pillbox as tasting and smelling like a very sweet digestive biscuit, very yucky at first but getting used to it now. Can't wait to try another flavour!

Hi Hoshnasi

My favourite cart flavours are

Sedansa Regular Tabac
Janty Regular Tobacco
NJOY Tobacco
Janty RY NR4

I think you'll get used to the diffferent taste fairly quickly

I've tried Marlboro carts but as I never liked the fags, I don't much like the e-flavour.
Update: growing on me!

Strangely, (as I always hated menthol cigs) my favourite flavour in my supermini is menthol - I wouldn't say it's minty - but it isn't synthetic fruity or 'not tobacco at all' it's just acceptably smoke-ish and yet the menthol for the mini seems to taste of mostly .... nothing.

I'm very new to this and so often confused by quite basic stuff but any other newbies might want to try a menthol cartridge before deciding or assuming - it's not like you remember a menthol cigarette as being - which might explain why the actual menthol smokers don't like them.
