I noticed alot of suppliers dont have attys or carts for them anymore. Or is this part of the shipping from china problem?
Thanks

I think you are going to see the 510 replacing the 901... In my opinion its a better e-cig.

i just bought a 901 and i personally like it better than the 510. the 510 seems to produce a little bit more vapor, but then again the manual batteries allow me to take longer drags. i also like the flavor production out of the 901 more versus the 510. im considering ordering manual 901 batts so i can take longer inhales. the 901 has bigger attys which dont get so hot during use. in normal use i would have to give my 510 a few minute break every 3 minutes. with the 901 i can vape as much as i please without worrying about them getting too hot.

More people seem to like the 510 over the 901. I make way more 510 mods than I do 901 mods.
The 901 was my first e-cig and I find myself picking it up every once in a while...It still pleases me.

I'm guessing it might be because of the chinese holiday. Then again it is going a little out of style, but I got mine here a bit ago from a Chinese dealer. I'm still waiting on it, holiday and all, but of course they had it.
I'd say ask around first. The J118 and 801 (typically automatic models) "manual" batteries I've seen aren't anything to write home about. They both feature cutoffs, with the J118 having something painfully short. They both (and it looks like the 901 suffers from this as well) feature horrible manual buttons that routinely get stuck inside of the battery. The 801 isn't even sealed.
The 510 has it's problems, but (not counting mods) it's just the most complete package out there for manual battery users.
Now I LOVE my 901 atty but on a KR808 battery.. just better vape, longer lasting battery.. did I mention more vapor?? lol and sometimes I like my own flavors and not the cartomisers!
I would say that the 510 is dominating the market now, i feel safe in saying that everybody has one. Thats just aksi hiw it is in the tech industry the new model always triumphs due to better tech and performance.
If i am not mistaken the 901 is about 3 years old.
I do prefer a 510 but I started on a 901 it is a great beginner e cig

I found the same with the 801 manual passthrough - a real underperformer even on a 1amp plug. I've always thought that from the reports of buttons on the manual 901 and the PT's either just coming off or getting stuck under the casing that these were poorly retrofitted autos.
While there have been reports of 510 PT's not lasting - I've had mine for 4 months with no problems and seems like there are more that are happy with theirs than people having problems. But it is natural on any forums to hear more of the problem cases than the ones that work so perhaps that's the case with the 901s too.
I like the 510 because of the PT, PCC and the manual operation which puts you in charge of the battery/atty/vapor sequence rather than the ecig's internal electronics startup, cutoff and time outs.
That said, the 901 and 801 have better reputations of people not having many problems with them than other auto models.
Unlike other people - my tobacco habit was RYO and budget minded.
I purchased my first 901 in June - great flave and vape.... when the batteries were at their optimum.
Using the 901 attys with my ScrewDriver, Cisco Laser mod and Prodigy produces awesome flavor and vapor...
I see no reason to invest in another model (510/801/krsomething etc) when it's the battery's performance that creates consistant quality vaping.
Hours of research have provided feedback from people who buy the 'new looks like a ciggie e-cigs' ... seems some are still wanting the consistancy that comes from rechargeable bats.....
Love my 901 atty and
30 years of smoking...

To be frank, i'm not completely sold on my 510. Like many i've found the 'flavour' lacking despite the fact that it hits like Bruce Lee's elbow in your windpipe.
I've found that that DSE8084 is a far more enjoyable smoke, so if the 901 can deliver anywhere near that as i've bheard it can, then i'm sticking in an order this week.

Hi Kurgan
I've read several posts from people with both the 901 and 510.
A recurring comment is 'harsher vape - less flavor' with the 510 than the 901.
Those things are 'subjective' and each of us has our own perception, taste buds and 'experience' of our P/V.... which may be very different than another person's opinion or experience.
I discovered (by using a USB passthrough - and testing battery mods a friend had) that
the 901 gave me what I wanted....
The ScrewDriver at 3.7 gives nice smooth vape
Prodigy at 5V brings out flaves a bit better and a hit that knocks socks off
We, as a society, have gotten so used to buying the next/best thing...
(I still use Windows XP as it works for what I need and doesn't force me to buy $1800 worth of 'new' programs)
I figure as long as something fulfills my needs.... why buy something else?
The rechargeable battery mods provide the opportunity for choosing volts/power/amt of vape/flavor -and give me 6-10 hours of 'semi-chain vaping' I can count on to be great with every vape.
Another kewl thing I've discovered these last few months is that no one confuses an SD, Laser Vaper or Prodigy for a ciggie - or immediately thinks they're and e-cig. That could be a good thing as legislation creates new parameters for our P/V choices.
PS- the SD and LV are both very comfortable for me to hold... I have small hands and the pictures of each always made them look larger than they really are. Prodigy... yup it's a bit larger - and I won't give it up because it gives me a huge vape when I think I want a ciggie.

Cheers soupor. I think that's precisely the direction that i'm coming from too. I've spent a fair bit of time in various modding forums and it seems that a batmod 901 is the way forward for most disgruntled 510 users.
I should maybe make one thing clear though, and that is that taste is subjective, and there is no doubt that the 510 is a fantastic springboard into the world of PVs - i'm not going to discard it. It's just that for me, and others i've spoken with, the flavours can often seem a little 'hollow' for want of a better word.
Having said that, i'm puffing Hilton on one right now with a lovely pint of lager.

I've been reading for months and I learned something new!
So the 901 will fit the KR808 battery. Where would those be found or on what pv type.
I have a 901. It's nice when it's brand new. I like the 801 better though.
So the screwdriver doesn't come with a 'screwdriver' atty. It would be nice to know which parts can be adapted to mods and such.
sorry for hijacking the thread a little. I just had an 'ah ha' moment.

510 is by far the best atomizer IMHO... But that is subjective. I have every one made. 801/ 901/ M401/ 510/ KR808. So I can compare pretty well. I also have every voltage option Prodigy 3.7/5/6v, SB, SD, Protege. So I have a little experience with them all. I still keep using the 510 just because they seem to last the longest. I keep all my dead atomizers and the little box is full of 801s and 901s. There is only one 510 in there. And I have been vaping for better than three months... I know that isn't that long... but. I feel that the 510 has a better performance rating in my book...
I am hoping this will all change soon though...

If the 901 is going away... In my view, if it is built like a 801, then it should go away!
I have been vaping since september 1, and I have experimented with a few brands...
I started off with the Red Dragon E9, which I have found to be ok: good vapor, decent battery life, good life, refillable cartomizer. The following week, I have tried the KR808 from bloog, which I have not found convincing as a analog substitute: weak flavor, too little vapor, very short cartomizer life. I returned them immediately.
Then I have received a starter kit from Vapure (E9). To me, this is the best of the best in terms of flavor and vapor production. The cartomizer is truly the equivalent of 13 to 18 cigarettes. I have been able to refill the cartomizers once if not twice with good results. These are true analog substitutes in my opinion. However, the cartomizers prices kill the idea "cheaper than smoking". A healthy substitute, yes, but not a cheaper alternative.
Then I wanted to try the 801 that everyone seems to enjoy because of battery life and cartridge capacity. I ordered a kit from Vapor Kings, and to me, they are way way way below the ones mentioned above: not much vapor and nasty plastic taste. The large cartridge is not a benefit to me. It is a waste of juice. The constuction quality is very poor (plastic with components more or less well glued together). Out of the 2 batteries received 2 weeks ago, only one keeps working. A big disappointment. If the 901 is built the same way, then it's got to go.
My next experiment has been with the EVOlution from innovapor. The quality is top notch, but the evo is just not my thing... too small and you need to refill quite a bit. But vapor production and taste is good.
Finally, I had to try the most popular of all: the 510. Ordered from Innovapor, I am impressed. The quality is excellent. The price is fair. Put aside the fact that you have to refill and the battery life is short, it is in par with the Vapure E9. The battery recharges very quickly though. The only thing I am not found of is the manual battery, but I know that ir provides many advantages.
Against the E9 and the 510, I do not see how the 901 can survive...
