DSE 901 manual Switched Passthrough Review from www.e-cigcity.co.uk

[Mufftrix]

Here a quick review of the 901 passthrough I purchased several days ago from

www.e-cigcity.co.uk

I have never owned a pasthrough before, but as I am always vaping most when on the computer, thought it was about time I tried one

The device arrived within 3 days from ordering (in UK as is supplier!) and comes just as it is, well wrapped in a padded envelope (jiffy bag)

What I liked straight away is there is no need for a battery like some passthroughs require, and it is solely usb powered!

I put a used atty on, and straight away was getting great vapor and throat hit!

The beauty off this device is you always getting the full voltage, so unlike with batteries you find the vapor and taste slowly fade as the batteries are used, with this passthrough it a full hit every time!

The unit is well made and comes with a long lead being over 5ft in length! Haven't got a tape measure handy, but it is definitely over 5ft ha-ha!

My criticisms, only two minor niggles

1/ when I ordered I used auto-fill to complete my address, and it made mess off it putting first line twice of my address, I emailed my correct address, but got no response, and when package arrived came with misspelt address! No biggie as it got here fine!

2/ The button is too small, and when you are pressing it, it digs into your finger leaving an indentation after prolonged use!

Overall would recommend it though!

As anyone who vapes constantly, whilst on computer or near a usb port will save recharging batteries constantly, and gives full atty performance 100% off the time!

my view 8/10

I love my 510 passthrough from e-cigcity too. I have been using it for 3 weeks at my pc and it has always been reliable. I am about to order the 901 passthrough from them, as well. You can get it with a titanium atty included. (The 901 cheapie passthrough I just got in the mail from somewhere else gets real hot the minute I plug it in.)

I too have to 901 passthrough and am using it with the famous Kensington power pack. This unit is VERY well made, delivers a throat hit like a kick somewhere painful and like feels great in my hand. If I was niggling, I would like a bigger button, just for comfort, but I am a believer!! 9/10 from me, and a great price too!!!

P.S. Anyone else intrigued by "Project one-of-a-kind"??? I wanna know what it is!!!!! And checkout the torch mods, cheap as chips and look cool as hell. BTW, not affiliated with them, just very happy customer

 

[Mufftrix]

Yeah mine still going strong so no complaints besides the button ha-ha!

 

[K.P.]

I've had one of GD's 901 passthroughs since the beginning of June, and using it with a Kensington power pack almost exclusively since then (apart from a few weeks with a JStick that died). The diggy-little button is the only thing that keeps it from being perfect. If it broke tomorrow (and wasn't under warranty) I'd buy another. It's the only thing (when combined with the Kensington) that's continually impressed me after the "new-gadget-honeymoon-period".

 

[Mufftrix]

I am glad it not just me that doesn`t like the button ha-ha

As you say K.P it only thing that spoils it (for me anyhow?) It just digs into your finger especially after prolonged use

Hopefully Gary will take this on board and alter it for a more finger friendly one in future?

 

[artguybri]

Question, are you pressing really hard on the button???!!!!!!

I only need to press quite lightly on it, so i dont get the pain, but yes, a bigger button would make this a 10/10

No not pressing it any harder than necessary!

I think the nature of product, with it being something that going to get pressed a lot! would just suit a more finger friendly design?

But that just my opinion ha-ha!

 

[HaploVoss]

Just a suggestion - although I still agree about the design could be much improved by the simple button change -- in the meantime, you can take the rubber bottom cover from a cart, trim it up to right height, turn it upside down to cover the button, put a small dab of glue inside - and viola - a nice cushy 'plush button' that never hurts your finger and has that nice 'flub' feel when you press it like a walkie talkie button, etc.

Take care,
- Hap

Just a quick update! Gary has taken onboard the comments about the switch and is working on fitting a new one in the near future.......!

Will update when there any more info!

This is my first post and i'm interested in buying an E cig but have no idea what to buy.
Please help me!

I've been smoking for about four years now, for the last year i've been smoking camel lights, does anyone have any suggestion about what E cig I should buy?

Also this model the 901 seems the most popular, the problem(this might sound weird) is it stand out like a sore thumb. I would just like to smoke with out a bunch of people bothering me. SO maybe a brand that looks like a camel light would be great

Any help would be great, thank you.
