Hi Lighter, welcome to the forum.

The DSE901 is a mini ecig. It's very popular and usually recommended for beginners.

Why is the DSE901 recommended for beginners? Seems like the penstyle, with longer battery and longer lasting carts would be the way to go. I'm brand new to vaping, so any help is appreciated.

I've been having same experience... I started off dripping and just used cartridege for the first time. First 10 puffs was great, then it started producing less vapor and flavor sucked so hard I almost gave up on it.
But then I thought maybe it is juice, so I pulled wool poly thingy, dry it up with paper towl, and used the juice I got from puresmoker. Dripped like 11, put the wool thingy back in, and vaped. First 10 puffs are GREAT!! then again it started to produce poor vapor with less flavor.... there is alot liq left on the wool thingy still.... It just doesn't come down.
If I have to refill each 10 puffs then I am better of just dripping.... I understand the capacity is low but I thought cartridge is for portable use so one doesn't have to drip everytime he smokes.... guess I was wrong

Please be careful on running cartridges low. It can have very ill effect on the atomizer, causing the life of the atomizer to diminish fairly quickly!

If you need anything else, don't hesitate to post or ask!

Thanks Bud,

This is probably the most important advice any new user could ever use!

I am new to the whole scene and must admit while I am going strong a week with no cigarette and loving it it has been a bit frustrating and I would definitely associate this with not using enough liquid. I burnt through my first addy fairly quickly unfortunately.

Today though instead of just dripping from the top or on the addy I have actually started taking out the filler and filling the cart half full, repacking and wiping the excess off with a towel. Actually taking out the filler and dropping about 4+ drops into cart and repacking is best imo and beats direct dripping BY FAR.

By far keeping the addy "wet" is the best advice any new user could use and I recommend sticking to this mantra. So much bad advice out there it's good to see that this forum has a user such as yourself, very informative and helpful, you sir are a true asset!

Every post I have read with your information is the best i've ran across on the whole internet. Keep up the great helpful info!

The DSE901 was my first style and is still my favorite among the normal sized (not big battery mods) e-cigarette. I had the same troubles as the OP after the first dozen puffs. Someone suggested I check out the cartridge mod (for modification) and I'll pass along that excellent advice. I like the straw mod and ZFM for the 901. Getting a good wicking cartridge will completely change your mind about the DSE901 IMHO.

As far as getting the DSE801 you might not like it. It has even more wicking issues and the only cart mod that seems to do any good is the BFD (blue foam dart). When/if you get it to wick well it will produce huge clouds of cool flavorful vapor.
