well, had my dse103 delivered nearly a week ago now, was £45 incl shipping from china (ebay) and came with 50 medium strength carts (40 normal and 10mint), charger, car charger, 1 atomizer, 2 batteries and a small case that fits both batteries, atomizer and 2 carts

it's bloody awesome

this is hardly a review as of yet due to my lack of vids and pics but 1st impressions are great, this is my 1st e-cig and i decided against going for something mega-expensive (interested in a janty yentl) because i wanted to see if i'd actually like it first... well I haven't had a normal cig yet and I think i'm actually taking in less nicotine than the normal 20 marl lights a day i'd usually smoke as the carts seem to be lasting a day or so

the battery life at the moment seems good as i carry both around a tend to charge both for a couple of hours each night - so far i've not had either of them run down. I tested how much vapor the carts produced by just inhaling into my mouth then blowing out - it's a lot, more than a normal drag of a cig (though i do tend to inhale for the 4-5seconds until the light flashes green) though if you breathe in all the vapor less is ehaled, just a small stream really (is this normal for e-cigs, are there any that still blow out clouds of "smoke" even after a full inhale?)

it feels solid, the atomizer's small and has a kind of mesh loop that sticks out, the led's orange when taking a drag and flashes green after 5seconds of inhale or when charging/running low on battery

have already gone through about 6 or 7 carts so will see how i go with another couple of weeks then may get a janty yentl...

when getting the yentl should i go for the manual or auto switch btw? and would you guys recommend it as the best "mini" style e-cig :p Also, flavor wise i can feel it on my throat but not so much in my lungs, are there any high-quality flavors that resemble normal cigs? The "normal" flavor that came with my e-cig tastes somewhat like cherries really with little/no smoke flavor and the mint variety i got a couple of tastes almost identcle albeit with a tingly aftertaste on my tongue!

will update with some pics when i get the chance, love the forum btw - if it wasn't for this I wouldn't have bought an e-cig in the 1st place

I was just comparing a Yentyl and a SmartFixx 103 side by side, using Janty batteries on both. The Yentyl was putting out twice as much vapor as the Smartfixx. And it's an easier draw.

But, if you're happy with the vapor from your 103, the Janty KISSbox batteries will work on it.

As to manual or automatic, personally it was the manual that attracted me to it. But I have to admit, now that I have one, the new automatic battery is really damn good. It's the best mini battery I've had yet. It's an easy draw, amd has a nice visible LED, as good an LED as my Njoy batteries. The only flaw in the battery is that the wait between hits is waaaaayyyy too long.

I'll try to post a video comparison tomorrow.

So, I got a Kissbox Classic with manual and automatic switches.
I find that the automatic switch lets you take a draw more easily than on the mini-cig I have (Which I thought was a DSE103, however it only has a red LED, no green like the one you describe)

The manual switch is nice too for controlling the vapour in a different way.
For example, I tend to press the button a second or two before I start taking a draw, so I get some straight away without a delay. Then I tend to let go of the button before I stop taking a draw to make sure I get the last of the vapour still remaining in the chamber.
I find with the automatic switch that as it seems so sensitive it is often still on for a second after I finish my draw, and vapour that I missed often spills out a little. There's no way to suck the last of it away whilst not triggering the atomizer to churn out more!

So I like them both just now, depending on what else I'm doing at the time.

No, they're 103's. They have the arch projecting out of the barrel, and the one piece cartridge/mouthpiece. The 101s and 102s have the arch at the bottom of the barrell, and the two piece cart/mouthpiece.

I'm not just trying to belabor the point... I've been trying to keep track of the various ecigs so really do want to figure it out. I thought this white 102 (in the photo as DSE102A) is what Jane sold, as others also did in other threads:
