David Yang's 4-hole Penstyle 801

[Dr. Russell Fell]

I thought I might as well do my first review after receiving David Yang's penstyle 801 model that houses four holes. This is my second e-cig - my first being Puresmoker's. But, since everyone and their grandmother has reviewed Steve's stuff and his amazing customer service, I thought I'd go ahead and reviewed Yang's stuff since few have tried or reviewed his stuff. Apologies for the lack of pictures as I don't have a digital camera right now.

First off, a little bit about Mr. Yang. As you probably know, he is a manufacturer in China of these electronic cigarette products and produces them for other larger distributors, all of which neither he nor I can name off hand for business and confidentiality reasons. With that being said, I assure you that his products are sold to and by very respected brand name distributors and most if not all of the members here have indirectly tried Mr. Yang's ecigs at one point or another, and after reading numerous posts and reviews, I can go ahead and assume you all were very, very happy with his handy work and rated them as some of the best quality products. Okay, enough of that, on to the review.

I ordered a Penstyle 801 with white batteries, red/orange LED, and a brown/faux-wood atomizer. Here's a link to see what it looks like:

After about a week or so, the products arrived. The penstyle itself is housed in a very fancy blue patterned book-style box with "Electronic Cigarette" in gold lettering on the top that flips open. Inside contains the usual: one atomizer, two batteries, a wall charger, car charger adapter, and five HIGH carts. Yang also threw in a handy USB charger, and from what I've been told by him, he gives these out to all of his orders. By the way, the man is very kind and and is very thorough about customer service.

After popping in my cart, I started off with the usual primer puff and a slow but steady drag. Right off the bat, I was extremely impressed by how easy the drag was due to the four holes and also the amazing taste of the liquid. The taste threw me off as I expected to hate it, but this stuff really does taste amazing and is the closest I've had to tasting anything remotely like a cigarette. It was a bit lighter, smoother, and sweeter obviously, but it was there. And yes, the drag was very smooth and the amount of vapor was larger than what I expected. I'd go so far as to say that the vapor production was on par to the Puresmoker 901 and perhaps maybe even more by a small amount.

About eight hours into casual smoking, I did finally hit that "cut-off" switch that some batteries do if you're hitting your ecig too often or too long. It was a minor thing and only lasted a few minutes and is probably beneficial in the long run for the well being of the atomizer. As for the battery life, I was smoking this for eight or more hours until a noticeable decline in vapor production was seen, and even then it was still very, very minor in the decrease of production.

I'm on my second day and after putting in a newly charger battery, it's still producing massive vapor with no resistance. The quality, both in the materials used and the finished product, is definitely high. I'll definitely be using this as my standard every day puffer and making my 901 as what I'll take when I go out. Highly recommended, with the pluses being the liquid, the quality of the product, the long battery life, the smooth draw, the large vapor production, and of course Yang's 6 month warranty. Cons would probably be the cut-off switch, this is a very minor issue, and like I said, is probably beneficial in the long run.

Cheers!

Hey Doc, glad you are liking your 4-hole from Mr. Yang. Thanks for a good review. I don't understand why you can't say what brand you are using. Anyway, I really like the 4-hole from PureSmoker. I would really like you to do another review of your new 4-hole in about a month. I've been having some issues with mine from PureSmoker and Steve is graciously working with me trying to find the answer.

Dr can you actually see the four holes visually on the battery end of the atomiser?

To do so would jeopardize Mr. Yang's terms and conditions as a direct supplier to said brand names, which makes perfect sense. If you were a reputable and large brand name and your manufacturer that sees you as their biggest client releases your company's information to other people and revealing that they supply your stuff, that could hurt your business and you probably wouldn't want to continue doing business with them.

Dr can you actually see the four holes visually on the battery end of the atomiser?

Sure can! They're just outside of the screw section of the connector to the battery on the battery-size of the atomizer.

[Dr. Russell Fell]

By the way, yes I will do a follow-up in a month's time. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your penstyle.

Doc how much did he pay you for that review! Just kidding. I think you are the first to order from him in this group. Did you have to call him? email him? or is there a finally website to order from? Was yours a sample to review or did you purchase it? Only reason I ask is my main concern with his product is the shipping price and the fact he initially said he wouldn't ship juice to the US. Has that changed? David does seem very kind and want our business. It is great someone quickly got one of his products. I appreciate your descriptive review. Thanks Doc...Thanks David.

Dr thank you for the information it sounds like they're good ones then. if the holes are visual to see. Some 801 and RN series don't show the holes when looking at the battery end. The only way you discover this is by taking the band off at the bottom of the atomiser. Which in my opinion do not perform as well as the visual ones although there is a slight improvement but not as good as when they are visual.


If you do manage to take any photos that would confirm this better.

I don't think I should answer that question. Let's just say he paid me a large sum of currency and leave it at that.

No, but seriously, we had randomly met on these boards and I thought I'd give him a try after speaking to him for some time. He's still working on his website, although he has his old one up still at ÒäÂöµç×ӿƼ¼ÓÐÏÞ¹«Ë¾

I paid via paypal and did it all through email. Since he is located in China, that's really the only way it can be done until the new site is finished. And yes, he still can't ship liquid but he can send carts. This is due to some tight restrictions going on with China's customs. I'll try and keep you all updated after a few weeks on how it's working out.

They are located right above where the screw grooves are and look like half-circles the way they are positioned to ensure the airflow isn't blocked by the battery or anything. I'll sometimes accidentally exhale a little and some puffs will waft out of the atomizer side, so there's definitely nothing that's stopping the air from being sucked in. Very good construction I must say. If I ever do get a hold of a camera, I'll try and take pics. But, as I had mentioned before, if you've used a certain big brand name supplier's penstyle (can't name names of course) that has four holes like this, you'll know what it looks like.
