901?

[paladinx]

thanks for the reply .. and the references. Wow only 5 to 7 cigs per cartridge? them saying 2 packs would be a blatant lie, Unless they have something new. would be cool if someone on here actually owned a smoke51/v9 loong, who could verify this.

Is there anyone on this forum who owns one of these ?

Sincerely.

paldinx,

I think the members here are just trying to save you some money. I mean, the 51 is rather pricey for a starter...especially until you really get the feel of the esmoking.

So for $150, you get 2 carts with atomizers. How long will they last? Do you see the price of replacement cartridges....5 for $15? How often will you need to buy those?

And after you try this, you will most likely be tempted to try other devices....it's kind of like the nature of the beast. Newer and better things are always coming out. If you spend that much money now....well....

A lot of people here have tried a lot of things and although the combo cart/atomizer might sound tempting, most would probably still not endorse it as "a superior product".

To me, it sounds like you are pretty much sold on the 51. If so, then go for it. Then you may learn the hard way as many of us do.

Best wishes, whatever your choice.

Paladinx,
First welcome,
You just learned your first E-cig lesson,
Those in the Business of "Selling" E-cigs are over priced and Full of it most times.
On the other hand, Enthusiests that sell like most of the suppliers that are members here, will tell the truth and help where they can.

The Loongtotum brand has been reviewed in here a few places, and thats all that thing is. They just slap a Branding sticker on the box.

The 901 is a good all around E-Smoke.
There are some that are larger, some last longer, some better made, some look like a Smoke, otheres like a Pipe, one like a Screwdriver, hehe, the 901 is fine to start, if it doesnt cover everything you want them to do, you then will have to decide how you want to use them, and stay with it, or expand your collection like a lot of us do weekly

One tip we tell everyone, try to order spare parts, another Atomizer and a bottle of Juice at least with your first Kit.

Good Luck

I currently have the RN4081 i think.. I got mine Mini form Njoy.com Been about a week now and still going great.. my next purchase will be a 901 but what is the difference between the 901 and 901B? is there something better about the B?

[MagusSteele]

B = Black

[ZStyle81]

B is what I got. It's black and you can get it with different color led's. blue, green, pink, and orange..maybe more not sure. I think with the 901 (non B) you can only get orange led. I could be wrong though.

Thanks guys. Well im not necessarily sold on 51. I am curious about the product because it was the only one I tried at the mall, and it seemed to work good. What im curious about is their claims. If they are out right lying, or if there is truth to their claims. For example. They say one cartridge should last you the entire day, if you are a heavy smoker. That you should get at least a pack of cigs out of one cartridge, because they say their filters are different and the product is different from others.

Why im still interested, They gave me a 50 dollar price break off of it, and a 2 week guarantee that I could return the product in 2 weeks for a refund if I do not like it. now are they lying about that too? im just being cautious first, and asking around. There making these extraordinary claims that their product is something new and improved. Not sure i believe them fully, but then again they are like the only ones i see that have atomizers built into the cartridge. I mean like it or hate it, it is something new that no one seems to be doing. so perhaps they are doing other new things which are making the cartridges last longer? who knows

i will check the longtootem reviews thanks. Im just wondering if those people actually bought the new v9 model or not. I guess ill take a look. i tried searching before, but it doesnt seem like there are many reviews out there.

regards and thanks

even if the cartridge last that long as they say, which i REEAALY REEAALY doubt,
and if they are refillable (at all) they would need a syringe and needles...

i think you would be better off with something that could be toped up with e-liquid in seconds,which would also be more cost effective in the long run.


...my 2 cents...

the carts dont last a day. they last about the same as a mini cart unless you want to inhale burning fiber or try and make a success of dripping which is hit or miss. ~15% of the carts dont work out of the box. run time on batteries is piss poor. all this is true unless i landed a uniquely crap batch of 50 carts and 4 batts or Loong or who-ever makes them has improved the design since. Another thing to consider is that they might not operate well with the UK voltage system. This could be the problem - I don't know.

I read a special offer awhile ago also detailing a 2 batt deal which someone had posted on an e-cig related business site. apon contacting the poster of the deal which turned out to be jack, i was directed to the loong site where no such deal exists. on this site, pictures of green cig products were also marketed as loong products. this was false advertising.

you must factor in postage with any price consideration on loong items. it is astronomical. I did manage to reduce the shipping costs though by talking to him on msn and questioning him about it. it still remained large but only half of what it originally was. he had to invoice me separately to reduce the shipping charge.

Also Loong has promised their affiliate smoke51 that they will direct all sales of their product to their site. whether they are still keeping this promise, i don't know.

The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem
