I used to be a pack and a hafl a day smoker, but I definitely vape a lot more then I smoke, and I'm getting 2-3 days out of the battery. The cartridges on the other hand are only lasting a couple of cigarettes worth, however, I found an really easy way to top off. Just drill a hole in the bottom of the cart, and then when you need to top off you don't even need to take it out of the pipe.

strange....the cart should hold quite a bit of liquid...definitely more than a couple of cigs worth.

im on my second cart top off and ive been vaping it for about 3 hrs on and off since last night

I would assume that for the e-pipe that they would use french pipe, but you never know.

I think that the original flavor tastes awful though, and smells even worse. Like acidic vomit or something.

The cart seems to be holding a lot of liquid, it just doesn't want to wick, or maybe the atomizer is running hotter then it should and is using up more e-liquid.

i completely agree that the cart that comes with the 601 tastes awful. when i made my review and try to describe the flavor i couldnt and still cant. i tried it again today after vaping a cart with another flavor. when i read the description on ruyandirects site..it says TAB flavor. i wanted to try their TAB flavor juice...now if it tastes the same as the stock cart...i will not buy it.

I tried the PS sampler of their french pipe....doesnt taste anything like that...i dont like the french pipe flavor either.

Im smoking ruyandirects TAB flavor in my 901 as we speak.
It has a mild tobacco flavor but really sweet (like smarties candy) and little spicy.
rd's flavors, some of them are spicy, couldnt place the taste until recent, kinda like the tangy spicyness of cinnamon.

im still trying to imagine the flavor you are describing...sweet like candy yet spicy like cinnamon.

well at least it doesnt seem to have a taste of the 601 stock cart.

when you get your 601...be sure to try the cart and let us know what it tastes like to you :)

As far as the pipe, it may be a week or 2 until I place and receive another order. I am pretty well stocked with 40 kits, 60 atoms, 40 batts, 2000ml, and many other accessories.

The tab flavor I am beginning to like and starting to get used to the spicyness. The sweet that I am implying is a very mild cigar sweetness. Not the cigar harshness or strong tobacco flavor but the sweet honey or something. Now, the spicyness i can't quite figure the taste out. As I disect the taste of liquid like this, I gather all of it and actually find bits and peices of different flavors like chocolate, vanilla, honey, touch of a mint like flavor, and others. Also, with tab and some other flavors, I get this spicyness. Heck, even think it might be the nicotine sometimes as it seems to be stroger when I try the 36mg-I can't smoke 36mg but once in a while.

So far, I think I like the Winston high the best. it really has a cigarette like smoke flavor to it.
I do have to smoke a cart until I get used to it and really start to experience the full flavor
I will keep you updated

Another nice review asidrave! I keep getting tempted to buy this thing!!! You are not helping resist the urge either!

The only thing that kills me is the fact that if the atomizer goes it's $42 to replace the it and the nice wooden bowl goes straight to the garbage. Does there look like any way to clean these to prolong the atomizer life? Has anyone had an atomizer go out on them? What is the expected life on these? I know there is a one year warranty but by the time you pay shipping both directions it would almost be the same to just buy another atomizer.

the pipe has a cleaning feature just like the Ruyan Bling e-cigar.

there is a small brass contact inside the bowl right next to the battery lever.

if you short out the brass contact and battery lever....it manually activates the atomizer. this feature helps in cleaning the atomizer when performance drops.

i plan on going into further detail about this in part 2 of my video review of the e-pipe

Thank you for your nice review, asidrav.
I have a ruyan e-pipe, which have been working well for about one month.
But it does not work well when its atomizer is too wet. How about your e-pipe?
In my case, I put Kleenex into the atomizer to absorb excess liquid for about
30 minutes almost every day.

i have not yet experienced the e-pipe atomizer becoming flooded. i top off my cart full with liquid as well.

when i am about to top off the cart...i do remove the cart and continue vaping what liquid is left on the atomizer till it is dry...top off cart...reinsert back into pipe..wait about 30 seconds...then vape away.

i do plan in going into details about certain features and issues with the pipe in my next video review :)
