As some of you may know I was in a bit of a pickle as of yesterday. One of my two DSE901 batteries died on me...while I'm in Chicago on business. I contacted Steve, because I found out that he is in the Chicago area. Luckily for me, he was heading in to town this morning to bring his sick daughter to the doctor. He told me to meet him, and he would hook me up...and boy did he ever hook me up. I spent about 15 minutes with him in his car talking about various products, hands on demos and the whole nine yards. We took them out of their packaging, looked at them etc. and that alone was extremely valuable. He hooked up a Vapor King Cartridge to a Vapor King battery and let me puff away on it. I was sold immediately. My intent was to buy a Pen Style and one of Steve's new 901 styles. However, once I started with the King, I was completely sold. Steve states that the cartridge is worth about a pack of smokes, and that typical battery life should be the whole day. I've only had mine for an hour, but I've been vaping away on it almost the entire time with no loss of performance. So even if it doesn't last all day, I think it's going to be the ultimate travel e-cig. The carts are fully sealed on both ends, so if you're going out, you take a couple of carts and one battery and you should be good to go. When you're done, throw the cart away...simple and perfect for travel or running out...no charging, no mess, no muss, no fuss. I also bought a pen style, because I do think that for some of us that aren't out a whole lot, the liquid is a less expensive alternative to buying the throw away carts. Having said that, for those that don't like fiddling with liquids and carts, at $2 per (~$2 per pack if you want to think of it that way) it's totally worth the hassle free operation. I am going to strongly reccomend it to my sister. Personally, this will be my travel device. I will continue to use my 901 and my new 801 while I'm at home. My plan is to buy a bunch of cartridges for the King to keep around for when I'm going out.
On to Steve as a person - Top Notch guy. First of all, he helped me out of a jam, big time. He knows what it is to be addicted to cigarettes and not to not want to smoke them. Steve is looking to give e-smokers a quality device at a reasonable cost. He's putting in a lot of time and effort to provide just that, and I commend him for it! If I hadn't spent the $350 in the past two weeks that I've spent on other devices, I would have dropped a few more bucks with Steve for his 901 as well as the King and the 801...maybe in a month or so.
Steve - my sincerest thanks to you for helping me out. I truly appreciate it. Good luck with your daughter, I hope she starts feeling better soon.
