Menthol

[Mommyshann]

Hi Sara. I just found (and joined) this site/forum today, so if I post this in the wrong place, please forgive all. (Mod: perhaps this should go in E-cig review forum) But, I have just starting shopping for an E-Cig, and the EPuffer looked like the best out there..... so far. OMG, had no idea about all these others. (Janty; puresmoker; litecig, etc). I am SO confused. Do you like the EPuffer? I am looking most for good vapor-smoke simulation. I quit tobacco over a year ago. Been smoking Green Coffee cigs, but they make me cough, for obvious reasons. (they have no nicotine, but it is a combustible product, so....) Also, looking for an e-cig that doesn't have that skinny mouthpiece. Something shaped more like a real cig would be ideal. Are there any like that?
Any help/feedback would be SO very appreciated!

Hi Teresa! Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of e-cigs! To answer a few of your questions: It sounds like you'd be happy with a DSE901 mini. Great vapour, feels similar to a real cig as far as shape and size go and is an excellent starter. As for your questions on epuffer...there are plenty of posts on this thread - Epuffer Posts - that will give you a bit of info about how they apparently treat potential customers. Read through several of the threads on here and I'm sure you'll find what you need. Good luck!

Got some Totally Wicked e-Juice yesterday. I ordered menthol but actually got mint. This is not a complaint, just an observation. Been puffing it for a day now and I must say a very nice puff. At first I thought it didn't quite match the feeling of a menthol analog, remembering lung hit, throat hit and head hit etc.

Just for comparison I lit a menthol analog and guess what, felt exactly the same.

Looks like some people here are looking for something that probably never really existed, only as they seem to remember it. I would not have said they felt the same, but a comparison definitely showed otherwise.


Well done Pillbox Totally Wicked is ................... totally wicked

EPuffer is a good brand when you get a good unit, but I've sometimes had to do a lot of returns to get those good units. I'd rate it somewhere around 3.5 out of 5. For not a lot more, Janty is better. Their Yentyl is cig shaped, and the manual switch is a great option. Also, the Great White at www.ecigsales.com is another good cig-like mini.

Hey Yawl; MommyShan, Mr. D, and Leaford; I really appreciate all the comments and advice. Had no idea how many options there are to consider with this whole new concept. After reading from the wise ones here, i went ahead and ordered from Steve at Puresmoker. Today received both the DSE 901 Mini and the Classic Pen. Very dissappointed on the Mini.....minimal vapor and after I took maybe 12-14 draws, over a 4 to 5 hour period, it began fast blinking, and no more vapor. doesn't seem quite right does it??
Steve has been great with emails and support. I dont worry if I received a bad atomizer that he wouldn't replace.

I've been smokin both the Mini and the Pen off and on tonight and the classic Pen is still vaping strong. odd. thought the DSE was supposed to be superior, so maybe I do have a DUD.

BUT I love this whole E-cig world and I get a kick out of looking for the ashtray, and not having one anymore. Or, oops, did I forget to put my cig out? or....where in the hell did I put my lighter?

Too cool.
I do believe I am hooked. In a good way!
See yawl in this forum soon, again, etc.

hmmm...well you should be getting good vapor from the mini Teresa...so its either a dud,or its user error...

have you made sure the batteries are fully charged,and the cartridge is nice and wet?
im sure you probably have...so next,you could try squeezing a drop or two of eliquid directly into the atomiser-it might need a little extra prime to get it going.

Mr. D---Steve said in an email that it did come charged (full anyway) so thinks that's the probably the issue. I mistakenly thought the starter kits came with 1 battery full charged, so I will do that, after the charger is free from the other batt.
Can you re-use carts indefinitely with e-juice or do they eventually get dry/nasty? just curious. I am kind of eager to try all those e-liq flavors.
D; do you have a favorite e-cig?

Hey Teresa,

I said batteries come fully charged? I apologize if I did. Batteries do not come fully charged, only tested. That's why I include a note with orders asking the user to please make sure to fully charge for an initial 12 hours!

Carts will eventually get kind of gunky. If you are the type to be proactive and want to try and get as much use out of them as possible, and don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can simply just pull the cartridge filling from the cartridges and rinse them. Dry them off, soak in ejuice, and stick back in!
