Deal eXtreme e-health compatibility

[stevejo]

Hi there -- new poster to the forums but lurker for the last week or so.

First I would like to say that this has to be one of the best resources I have found on the internet for information regarding e-cigs -- however unfortunately I believe I have found it too late.

I got turned onto the e-cigs by the kiosk here (independent) in a local mall and knew that there had to be a better way than $150 in the mall, so started doing some digging on the internet. Via some ebay listings I stumbled upon a vendor who was selling the e-health cigarette, and got a bunch of my friends together and purchased 10 of em.

I am completely sure now that this is the same piece that DealExtreme sells, and wow what a piece of junk. Out of the ten that we ordered, I've had six batteries crap out, and the carts rarely give more than 5 or 6 good puffs.

Now that that is out of the way, my question is does anyone know what these units are compatible with parts-wise? They seem to me to be very similar to a 401, and in fact I ordered up a few of eSmokerShop's units to see if they will work, but the Postal service has failed me and I am looking at seeing them on Monday now.

Just wondering if when these arrive I can replace my friend's batteries with the 401-style or if I will be looking at junking out ann ten of em and just starting over.

Cheers from ND

I ordered some stuff from Deal Extreme to supplement my other 401 parts and for a back up and for friends to try.

What I found out is this:
a) the batteries from M40x type e-cigs don't last more than a week
b) the atomizers from M40x type e-cigs don't last much longer
c) the drag from the M40x type atomizers is inconsistent between manufacturer no matter the battery type (too hard of a drag for me)

As for DealExtreme - the atomizer in the green and white cigarette pack type pkg for $11 worked great. The chargers from the black box $13 kit worked pretty well and when I burned up all the batteries for one reason or another, I used the cords to create a usb pass thru so there was a benefit.

All in all it was an experiment with cheap equipment that I do not regret but knew going in that the stuff would not last.

Get yourself some good equipment, good e-juice and some back up parts. Go with someone who will guarantee no doa and at least 7 days replacement on defective mdse.

The m401 and the intellacig EVO should work. I bought a bunch of them too, but all are working OK so far. At least you have some spare parts to play with, and be thankful you didn't by 10 kits at $150.00 each.

10 kits @ $50 each sucks a bunch, but I guess replacing them with $12 kits is good.

Grabbed some DSE401 kits and parts from esmokeshop and their customer service seems to be above the pack so far, and can see if the parts swap at all.

I will def keep this thread updated.

I have tried the e-health cigarettes and they are absolutely horrible!! It was extremely hard to draw and juice always got in my mouth + the overall build quality is just crap.
