E Cigars (*sigh*)

I love my RN-4062 in its many incarnations, but I have yet to make an atomiser last longer than about 4 weeks. Not that this is bad, but the things tend to run cold without notice.
Definite pluses: big cartridges, cheap rechargeable batteries, good performance (while it lasts).
Minuses: limited lifespan, possible auto-activation (I always take the lid off when not in use)
Cleaning tip: quick 5 second pulse with paperclip (as in manual), then blow onto the still hot atomiser. Repeat if necessary. Burning the thing for longer resulted in quick atomiser death. I've had no luck with washing the things either.
Verdict: indispensible. If only the hardware could be improved!

e-cigs.co.uk 'Smoking Anywhere' disposable cigar gave good performance and was nicely presented, with a natural tobacco leaf feel. It did however make a slight hooting noise while in use . No cheap, but worth it as an emergency backup.
Verdict: OK as an occasional treat, paticularly if you like different flavours.

The Janty TAW Cigar has the biggest battery that I have ever seen in any vaping device, but that did not stop it from running flat after 2-3 days (and they compared it to a 'carton' of cigarettes! More like a single pack, methinks). I had it in reserve for a couple of months before using it, but with cigars that are meant as presents or for special occasions, that should not be an issue! This was also the ugliest specimen I've seen so far, with a plastic appearance and mouthpiece. Still, if it would perform as suggested, it's priced attractively and the flavour and throat hit are good.
Verdict: I'll stick to the stick

I've heard similar talk about limited performance of the Gammucci cigar , but from the way it looks and is supposed to taste (more like a 'real' cigar), it might be worth a try. 1-2 nights battery life isn't good enough, however!
Verdict: does it really last no longer? Otherwise this one would be worth a try!

Personally, I LOVE my RN4062 E-Cigar. It's part of my everyday line-up. But they are hard to find these days. I can still get mine from Randall @ myPVshop.com He's got a nice sale going on right now ... And he also has a 10% Discount Code: IVape 10.

Well, that's in the US...

I'm about to cast caution aside and order from China, but after my experience with customs, I'm not quite desperate enough yet.

Just started on my penultimate Golden Shimmer atomiser. It's nice, but at this rate I'll be out by Christmas

have you tried the DSE 701 its almost the same as the rn-4062 except the 701's have a slightly bigger atty but all connections are protected. Its the batteries I'm having trouble with though I tested a run down battery and I did it with 3 different testers and they all say the same thing it has a 3.6v charge. At first I thought my multi-tester was bad so I borrowed on from my friend it said the same thing 3.6v so I ended up buying a digital one for it to tell me guess what.....................3.6v. And it was the battery that came with the unit those 3.6v 10440 gray batteries. I can't test for maH though all 3 meters only went to 250-400 mah. Even if the battery is rated at 360mah I couldn't get a reading "OF" always appears on the digital meter.

I have tried the ruyan vegas from heavens gift, great flavor really close to cigar taste kinda like Arturo Fuente good vapor but only a slight throat hit for me, and once you inhale the vapor minimal vapor produced kinda like on stealth mode.

PS is there a link here anyone can recomend where I can find a solution to my 10440 dilema I've been searching for 3 days now and I still can't find a thread about or pertaining to my problem, maybe I missed it or just not just typing the right key words.

If your batteries are measuring 3.6v AFTER charge, your charger is broken.
The chargers that came with my cigars charged to roughly 4.15ish.
3.6 is close to dead.

You can't measure mah with a multimeter. That setting is for measuring current, in MILLIAMPS... putting the meter leads directly on a battery, on that setting, is making a direct short. Most meters would blow a fuse when you do that

If you want to measure capacity, head down to the local hobby shop, and pick up a fancy charger / discharger with that feature, something like this:
