So a little under a year ago, I bought my first dse901b kit from puresmoker.com. I ordered an extra battery, so I had two batteries total. They both died in less than 3 weeks. A lot of other **** was happening in my life so I just thought, "**** it", and went back to smoking regular cigarettes.

I'm planning on going back to esmoking within 1-2 months, so I'm back to doing my research. Here's what I'm looking for:

Size - dse901 was a good fit. pens are too long.
Battery - i had to carry around both batteries with me if i went out all day. i'm looking for something that lasts a lot longer.
Cartridges - for the dse901, it seemed like after every 15 hits i would have to top off the cartridge.

So what I'm pretty much looking for is a more powerful dse901 with a longer battery life. Theres been a lot of new ecigs coming out and I dont know where to look. I heard the yeti was good, the dura was good, the vx2, and a bunch of other ones. Which one is generally considered the best these days?

It comes down to this, the dse901 is the perfect analog like e-cig size. Yet its horrible battery life/build quality destroys the initial good feelings with it. I would get the Janty Stick if size is the main concern here. If not get a GG,Prodigy,or a screwdriver for the battery life. I purchased my gf and mom The Janty Stick and they have zero issues with battery life ,vapor or size. I may get one for myself down the line,but i pre-ordered a Prodigy and i am going to try that first. The Prodigy,GG and Screwdriver are much bigger devices just to be honest.

The thing about the battery life issue is I don't want to carry around a HUGE ecig with me. I'm out a lot and smoking out of one of the bigger ecigs just isn't my thing. I'm willing to compromise battery life performance for size. I just heard that there are new ecigs the same size as the 901 but with better battery lives.

I'll take a look at the ones you guys mentioned though.

that any dse-901 or improved model has a big flaw...an unsealed battery. If you drip fill your cartridges and the liquid gets in the battery they die. When looking at models(like the Janty Stick) find out if the battery is sealed or has a manual switch. Manual switch means no sucking to"turn it on" and that is an option on the Janty Stick. the more i right posts to help people...the more i think i should just get a stick for myself LOL. I just spent SOOO much money helping my mom and gf get their's and my Prodigy...I cannot fathom spending anymore:D

Yeah I was always careful when filling the cartridges and my batteries still died. The Janty Stick looks like it'll last a long time, ill keep that one in mind. The Prodigy looks awesome, but it costs way too much for me. I'm looking to spend 100 dollars max for a complete kit with extras. I currently get my cigarettes at 23 dollars a carton, so I'm trying to save money too.

For the money go for the Janty stick
But for durability get the SD

How about the Evolution? That comes in both black and white and the battery life is probably anywhere between 5-8 hours. They are sold by Intellicig. I have had my white evo since December and the black since about March and I haven't lost a battery or atomiser yet. The Evo is smaller than the 901 slightly and comes in long or shorter batteries. The short battery is more or less like an analogue. A lot of people like them.
The other models for a similar/same thing is the M401(for the long battery) or M402(for the short battery) or the pilot.
