Default Video review of the Havana e-cigar from litecigusa

This is in 3 parts because I ordered 5 of them and review every single one right out of the box. Enjoy & rate. Sorry for the quality and cuts, I'm a comp-tard.

Part 1




Part 2



Part 3

In case there is any confussion, I DO suggest getting one of these DSE701 cigars. IMO they are just below a RN4062 e-cigar, a little cheaper, but still good!

Appreciate the time and thoroughness Figurehead. You're the e-cigar guru!

Man, after working these a little bit, I'm getting MONSTER vapor. I'm going to have to re-review them this week so everyone can see the improvement.

Okay... my opinion on the differences (and I also may do a comparison review of the 2) is that the 701 gets a bit more vapor than the 4062, but if everytime I open a cart the stuffing is left in the tube.. it is too annoying to use!

I am using zero nic now and that makes it less worrisome to get juice all over when I have to get the stuffing out of the tube... but still very sticky and annoying.

The arch for the atomizer in the 701 looks like a true 901 arch (pointy and VERY narrow) whereas the 4062 is a very wide and flat arch. That is why the 701 stuffing falls out. The arch actually sticks INTO The wick (not just touches... sinks INTO) and so when you TWIST the cart to pull it off it wraps the polyfil around the atomizer arch and then you pull the cart out and the stuffing stays behind. It is like twirling spaghetti on a fork!

So... although a bit more vapor with 701.. I am prob gona stick with 4062 from now on.

Both of mine supernova'd and had to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol... but only one still works now (4062). The other is still in supernova mode. Gona clean it with alcohol again and see if it will "unstick" the switch... otherwise I am gona try to mod it for manual use if I can get someone to hold a flashlight steady enough to see inside it!!!

Spikey, when cleaning them in alcohol, try sucking & blowing through the reset hole a few times as well after it's dried out. See, in mine the DSE701 is the fatter wider atomizer and the RN4062 is the thinner one.

Like I say in the reviews, the easiest fix with the carts is to pull them out, wash & dry them, and hot glue them back into the cart. Works like a charm.

Wow.. I only used one of the 701's (I bought 4 of them lol!) and didn't realize that this whole time.. I thought the 701 was the 4062 and vice versa! You are right.. the pointy one is the 4062.

Okay.. so i have no idea why the 701 is ripping the stuffing out.. but I did glue 2 or 3 carts and the atomizer still pulls fuzz OFF of it and then fries it giving the atomizer a burnt taste every once in a while if I vape it too dry.

I did notice that while the carts seem to be interchangeable without leaking.. the battery caps are NOT interchangeable and the batteries are diff voltage but seem to be interchangeable. I did have that same battery lighting up problem with one of mine that was stuck in supernova, but when I changed batteries to a fresh battery it seemed to fix the problem. Try a fully charged one before you return it.

I did stick a paperclip with alcohol through the reset hole a few times while cleaning it (and a totthpik soaked in alcohol) and it still did not unstuck it

Leaving for Vegas Friday... will be there Sat-next Wed/Thurs so will PM u my # if ya wana come hang one night!

The filler falls out because it wasn't glued in properly at the factory. They didn't use enoguh glue. If you pull the filler out of the 4062 and look at it compared to the 701 you will see that not only is there a lot less glue, but the material is different as well.

I'm gonna do my best to hook up with you for a bit.

Figurehead...by chance do you know how the switch is activated in the e-cigar when you inhale?

is the switch by chance that one-way flap thing?

with as many e-cigars you have...you should be the e-cigar guru by now

i ordered 2 more e-cigars myself for a total of 4
