idk, but you might want to make ur siggy pic to TOS hun before a mod sees it and you get an infraction. Max siggy size is 400x65 pixels. I'm only letting you know because like others I have gotten 2 infractions because mine was 22 pixels over.

looks like a totally cool e-cig for a newbie who's wanting to test one out. I think I might pick up a few for stocking stuffers for the smokers in my fam :) who have asked a million questions about switching.

Thanks for the info, gonna check into it more :)

I'll bet it's a disposable.

Nope it's not...

- Simply recharge it by plug into any USB port to charging
- Input voltage: 5V
- Package includes:
- 1 * electronic cigarette
- 10 * refills
- 1 * USB charging adapter

it prob only stays charged for 30 mins - 1.5 hr like most E9 style PVs. I have 3 of the E9s all last me a good 3 hours, but I bought mine direct from a great E9 direct supplier. I'm gonna check one of these out and then decide if it's good to get for stocking stuffers. :D

did u see they call their e-juice "tar oil" on 2nd thoughts, mmmm pass.

I'm sure you get what you pay for... might be worth it for parts.

I have some of these at my studio for the "anxious to get started" people. I opened one and the flavor is great! They are just a standard little PV kind of like my Blu.

It really is clever the way you just slide the ac prongs out and plug them in and charge. It comes with some carts and is just a very beginners cheap kit.

We all have to start somewhere.
Of course, I include the ECF card and some quality e-juice from cignot.com and if I have time and they are really interested, show them my eGo and explain a bit more about PVs and vaping.

I reviewed these a few days ago. Not really bad in my experience. The USB charger was vastly superior to the PCC that came with the version I got (Basic Starter Kit). I still use it as a backup.

Note: the carts are equal to a cigarette or two, in my opinion. Good thing they're cheap. Instructional videos on this model advise you to twist to remove the foil seal on the carts, but I've found that refilling them without the foil in places causes all manner of leakage because the fill in the little capsule inside the cart is minute and won't keep thinner liquids from running out.

These will be stocking stuffers for friends and family who need to ditch analogs, along with a caveat that they should buy something like a 510 if they're really interested.

Now you tell me... lol... the mod must have seen your post before I did.... oh no, a wrist slap...

For those who have tried these units.... Thanks for the info!! One question... do they appear to be compatible with anything else out there? I wonder if the parts are interchangeable with any other products out there and if replacement atty's or batteries can be found and if the chargers can be used with other batteries.

I have the BE103 from bestecig and it doesn't seem to be compatible with anything else out there.... I pretty much only use my mods now anyway....

I haven't found anything yet that is compatible. They seem to be their own threading as far as the batts and attys go. I emailed the company and they, of course, said only their attys are compatible and they don't recommend anything else...i.e. refilling with e-juice etc.

I was thinking the same thing because I'm trying to figure out how to package a cheapish gift for people. Then I saw the same thing. I googled tobacco tar oil and found almost nothing but where to buy it. I did find an interesting study from 1958 related if anybody is curious. http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/18/5/510.full.pdf

This really bothers me. This kind of stuff could really foul up a good thing. I almost invite a little scrutiny of products to avoid the damage some people could cause.

Instead, since the holiday season is already on television, where would a good "new to vaping" kit be found at? Of course I'm assuming multi-pack batts and attys, but usb chargers?

Maybe some kind suppliers would throw together beginner - "holiday packs" with, like 5 batts, attys, chargers, and a handfull of carts for a reasonable price?

At this price, it's a steal, but I got mine elsewhere for around $23 for a two-cig starter pack.
I'm not too sure about DealExtreme yet, cos I'm still waiting for my very first order (of something else) and it's taking longer than I thought.

Looks like a normal cigarette, so you won't get noticed in a crowd of analog junkies in an alleyway (can be useful sometimes). The LED is too red for my taste, but you can probably get away with it.

It's a 3 peice, with a small atty that's pointed and exposed.
The Thread is an inverted 510. I don't know if there are adapter/converters for it (?).

Cartridge design is awful, but can be refilled if you are willing to wait for the juice to fall in. The sharp ended atty pierces a foil and makes contact with the polyfil. Both the foil and polyfil are part of a cart within a cart. The inner translucent cart takes up too much juice space but can be taken out with a suitably sized screwdriver, just get a friction-grip and pull it out. You can then mod the outer cart with whatever filler mod you want. I personally used my k-foil mod and its comparable to a 901 in juice volume. The main problem with this is you have to be very accurate with the juice volume otherwise it starts leaking in the direction of the mouth. (Without the inner cart, it's more like a drip tip).

The atty burn is good (vapour just slightly less than a 901) but I don't know how long it will last since I only bought it 2 days ago. Atty taste is not as intense as a 901, it's more like a 510. There's certainly enough taste and throat hit there for me to use it. I will probably reserve it for 24mg tobacco flavours when vaping in public.

The charging indication is reliant on the green indicator light of the charger going dim. These cheap USB chargers you can find anywhere. Alternatively you can plug the lead into any USB type socket (like a PC) and just wait for the appropriate time. Battery life seems longer than a stock 510, but then I've only used it for two days, so I'll see how it goes.

I bought 3 different versions of the $10 e cig from dealextreme and they always fail from battery failure, they last about 10 charges before the batts start acting wierd. The will eventually stay on and make a clicking noise which is strange, but the atomizers are ok and can be used with a 510 battery providing you use a magnetic spacer to complete the connection. All in all, its not too bad, but I as well would consider this to be a disposable kit.

Am I the only one who found these completely unsmokable? I tried the deal, then got nervous when I saw they were the dreaded health-e cigs. Then my fears were confirmed, they were just as bad as the health-e's under their own lable. I guess these might do something for you if your tobacco cigarette brand is merit ultralights.

It someones looking for a disposable kit or stocking stuffers for Christmas I'd go with the Boge Q 510 Kit over this one. You can find it < $10 and it comes with a real 510 atty. The prefilled carts are about what you'd expect but they can be rinsed out and used again as well which just about pays for itself even after the batts reach their limit. I've got 2 attys from the kit that have been going strong since August.

I'll bet it's a disposable.

It's a M-401 knock off. Not a disposable but I disposed of mine after the first 2 days. That was the first model I ordered. The plastic cups in the carts hold about 3 drops. At that price though it's a better deal than a disposable. At least you can recharge it a few times before the battery fries.
