I had purchased 2 DSE901 starter kit (to split with a friend), each with 1 atomizer and 2
batteries from Altsmoke, and more DSE901 - 6 atomizer and 4
batteries from Dietsmokes and they all die out after 6 or 7 puffs. IS THIS NORMAL?
I ordered for me and a friend, originally we each got a starter kit from Altsmoke. We were both very excited about e-cigs, and had done much research and viewing the videos. We charged up the
batteries.. just as instructed to do for 4 hours. We assembled the battery, atomizer and cartridge that came with the kit.
We sat back to begin the experience. The first puff was heavenly, it was nice to be smoking a long overdo safe cigarette. A nice slow drag on the cig, a burst of smoke in my mouth, a long inhale, and that finale of a long slow exhale. Ahh, yes, it was heaven.
After 6 or 7 puff the experience began to change. No longer was a nice slow drag producing a burst of smoke. Now it was a long hard suck (or 2) that only produced puny whispers of smoke. I thought maybe the cartridges were a little dry from being pre-filled. I added a drop or two of my flavored liquid and sat back to resume that heavenly state.
Nope, no longer was I able to take a puff and produce smoke, I had to suck it out, until it wasn't producing anything. (FYI, I did take breaks when the atomizer got warm.) My throat began to get sore from the many attempts, so I put it down. I sat at my computer and emailed the seller. I was given instructions on how to return my atomizer and receive a new one.
oK.. so now my experience was being put on hold because it was the only atomizer I had (the purchase from dietsmoke hadn't arrived yet). However, my friend was still using it. We spoke of, and shared the experience we had. I found that the other atomizer was working, but my friend also had to suck out the puny wisp of smoke that the dse901 produced after taking several good puffs.
When we received our second shipment from Dietsmokes we thought, Yea, now we're ready to roll.. Well, I have now tried all the atomizer, and all the batteries. I find that I am only able to get several puffs before I need to add more drops of liquid, and even then I am only getting puny wisp of smoke unless I suck two or three times.
Is there any advice or suggestions from the many pros out there, that you can give me, so that I may continue to experience that heavenly pleasure that comes with the first puffs for a longer amount of time. I feel it is not worth the energy if I need to stop and refill every 6 or 7 puffs..
there's a lot of learning curve with these things, and from what you typed it sounds like you're doing things right though. you checked the carts to make sure they weren't dry, i'm guessing the batteries are charged as well right?
