What a piece of junk.
One battery went bad after 4 days. I can't always get a consistant hit from the thing. The one working battery is having problems also. One moment it works fine, the next time it won't turn on. Seems to be a battery to atomizer connection?
Easy to overfill, liquid leaks out... messy.
The drawn is very hard, like sucking a thick milk shake through a straw.
I have found this model to be un-realiable. I do not recomend.

Sounds like you might of gotten a bad unit. They come with 1 year guarantee BTW.

801 atomizers require quite alot of abusing until they wake up. What I sometimes do is to hook it to a li-ion cell and take couple drags like that. After that they work fine. Thicker types of liquids might not so well with these though.

I saw that same picture last on the Transunion Page, but everywhere else on the site, they showed the standard carts. I'm guessing it's an old style.

I have one that I also purchased from absolutelyecigs and I love it. I've only had it about a month, though, so I may be cussing it next week but up to this point, all of my original batteries and atomizers are still going strong.

I do agree that the liquid seems to leak out easily, drips down the side of the cartridge but I just wipe it off when I top off my carts. Guess I assumed all PVs did that. I also thought, maybe, it was cheaper liquids (more watered down).

LOL...I recently did a Ruyan order and decided to get another battery for my M201. The only pen-style batteries they had, though, were for the 801 so I got one because it looked the same. I was wrong, unfortunately. It's kind of funny because it works somewhat, but that "sucking a thick milk shake through a straw" feeling is happening. I compared the two and noticed that there are no holes in the 801 battery for air to flow.

LOL...I also bought a 801 passthrough and, thankfully, it DOES work with my m201.

I have 4 201's from absolutely ecigs and all have worked great for the month that I have had them....except the one I just received (ordered 3 month ago and just ordered a 4th). The one I just received has 2 defective batteries. They don't hold a charge very well and they both just stop responding periodically. They'll "wake back up" after a few minutes of not using them but all the other batteries I haev don't have this issue. I've emailed them and they said I could either send it back for repair at my expense or they would replace them at no charge with my next order. Fair enough for me I guess since I have other batteries to use but if those were the only batteries I had I would be pretty upset about it.

I haevn't had any problems from any of the products purchased from absolutely ecigs except these 2 batteries....I have bought 4 201's and 4 401's. The reason I have so many of each is because my wife and I use them constantly and wanted to make sure we had enough batteries and chargers around, along with a few spare atty's.

The cart leaking issue with the 201 is just part of it I guess. I just wipe off the excess when I top off as well. It seems to happen more with thinner liquids, and is worse right after you have been using it as the liquid gets thinner when you heat it up alot.

I have only tried the 201 and 401 styles of ecigs so far but am pretty much sold on the 201. Plenty of vapor and seams to be reliable...so far anyway.

Whats the bottom line here? Is the M201 worth it or should I order the DSE 801? I don't mind juice leaking down the side of the cart,which always happens on my e-cigars,but never have had a e=cigar leak juice to the point where it gets past the mouth piece and into my mouth.The carts look similar and would not think its possible. Does this happen or not?
Thanks

Which one has the easiest draw?

Which pen style do you recommend?

The m201 is worth it in my opinion
