Apollo E-Cigarette Review / Blog

[webvapor]

So, I've been enjoying my ego for a bit, but was looking for something different. Initially I made the switch from the standard 510 because I wanted an automatic battery, but wasn't willing to sacrifice performance. But it's really kind of heavy, so I was looking for something lighter. The 901 is a little long for my taste and the 510 automatic is just not a good option.

Up until very recently, my vaping world revolved around the 510, 901, 808 and of course the ego.

So anyway, by searching through these beloved forums I stumbled across find these gems.

Being in the Bay Area, Apollo is local, so naturally I gave them the nod. Not just that of course, because even more important than its geography is the fact that their disposables got stellar reviews here on ECF. We're a tough crowd overall so it was all I needed to go ahead and give 'em a shot.

Packaging:
The PCC is a good quality product, with a solid feel and unlike the 510 pcc, bulky POINTY/EDGY (ugh), this box is very smooth all around, with a matte finish that if very grip friendly, and will actually fit in your pocket. And when there it's not poking a hole in your thigh.

Composition:
This model is a three piece that looks very much like a two piece (which I like), as the cart covers the exposed atty underneath. Unlike the cold steel of my 510s again Apollo is consistent with the matte finish style, something that I am growing to appreciate more and more, as I continue to use my new ecigs.

Performance:
Upon arrival, the cigs came fully charged, which was nice. I inserted the cartridge and gave it a go. A couple of primer puffs and pooooof.... heaven. Very nice vapor production. Throat hit was fairly solid. In comparison to my most recent 510 cartomizer combo it was not quite at that level, but good overall. The fact that it's an automatic and how I love the feel so much more than the 510 is still more than enough to make the switch a permanent one.

Then I opened up the cap, and gave it a drip... Just one.

AND WOW.... just.... wow.

Obviously right now, so far so good, and I'm just enjoying these things like crazy. If you are in California and want to stay local, or anywhere really, I say give them a try. The one year warranty sounds pretty nice as well.

The agent I spoke to said they were going to be getting cartomizers soon, so I very much look forward to those. I'll bump and update this review when I am able to give those a try.

Congratulations Apollo for following through on your promise to sell cartomizer kits. The Extreme 906 has been great. I hope to see Apollo ecigs accessible in the SF Bay Area at every corner, instead of those overpriced knockoffs at 7-11 and the poor uninformed head shops mean well but end up stocking 40dollar pure smoke kits that seem like a good deal until someone tries them. They don't know any better so they end up giving up and going back to the dark side. Apollo is official and I'm proud to say I'm a customer and as a fellow Californian, a supporter.

I ordered an Extreme 906 from Apollo E cigs and received it only an hour or so ago. My reason for ordering it was based mainly on the customer service and the WOW factor of the disposable e cig at Apollo as well as my curiosity about the new two-piece cartomizer-based model. What I loved about the disposable at Apollo was the throat hit and taste of that model. Honestly, nearly every model of e cig now in production offers copious amounts of vapor, so it is the throat hit and taste that I am now seeking.

Straight out of the box, here's what you get for $49.95

Apollo Extreme Starter Kit
1. This starter kit contains the DSE906 e-cigarettes which use cartomizers with the latest 2-piece design and technology.
2. There are two 280mAh batteries and 5 cartomizers in the kit
3. Apollo 906 e-cigarette has extra long battery and cartomizer - total length is 123mm
4. Apollo 906 e-cigarette offers about 300 puffs
5. The kit also includes a USB charger, a wall adaptor, and a car charger
6. 5 FREE cartomizers with flavors of your choice

I honestly could care less about the packaging, but this one is nicely presented. See the setup here, Apollo Extreme Kit

I ordered Coffee flavored cartomizers in 24 MG strength. The cartomizers are significantly larger than the Maxx Fusion and other KR808 models, so I am assuming they hold more liquid. I am not one for technical details as I am interested only in how it performs and how long it lasts. So, how does it perform?

My impressions are limited by the very short time I have been puffing on this model. I will continue to add to my review as I am using the Extreme 906 straight out of the box. Here's what I think.

Vapor is great
Throat Hit is excellent and similar to what I loved in the disposable model
Battery Life: unknown at the moment: there is a note saying that the battery comes partially charged, so right now, that's all I have.
Taste: very good and also similar to the Apollo disposable. I am a stickler for coffee flavors, but this does not have the heavenly coffee flavor of Backwoods Brew Espresso or KickBass Vapor Cappuccino.

I do know that if it continues to perform as it is right now doing, I may be tempted to switch from the Maxx Fusion to this model simply because the price is way better and Apollo has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Although I live in Ohio, and Apollo is in CA; I received my package in two days. More to follow.

I have now had the DSE906 Extreme from Apollo E-cigarettes | High Quality E Cigs | Best Ecig Starter Kits for almost two weeks now. It has become my favorite e cig and cannot say enough good things about customer service and products from Apollo. I use it and my Bloog Maxx Fusion exclusively and love them both. The Extreme model has two major advantages: it costs less and it has a one year warranty. If you love the Bloog; you will also love the DSE 906. Try it.
Here's what you get for $49.95

Update on the DSE 906 Extreme from www.apolloegigs.com I just ordered my second kit, and can say that my initial enthusiasm for this model and customer service remains. It never fails to deliver vapor, throat hit, and flavor. The company continues to offer exceptional customer service and honors the warranty. One of my batteries stopped taking a charge. I filed a ticket, and the battery is in the mail. I had a package of cartomizers with two duds. The company replaced them. It is very difficult to find an e cig company that offers an excellent product at a great price with free and fast shipping AND a warranty beyond the usual two weeks to one month. Apollo does all of that. If you like the Bloog, (and believe me, I like mine also) but are looking for something similar with a warranty, free shipping, and top notch customer service; order the Extreme kit from Apollo Ecig | High Quality E Cig | Best E cigarette Starter Kits

Sorry for missing this, but no, they are not compatible with Bloog carts.
