Dse103 mini electronic cigarette

[N4tha]

Hi
I just want general opinions by users or even people that have seen pictures of this model. The dse103 model is basically the developed model from the dse101 super electronic cigarette. The atomiser has been changed, the cartridges are different. I personally think it performs better.

What do you have to say about the dse103 model mini electronic cigarette?

Someone on the forum suggested that the Intellicig was a modified dse103. If that's so then I like them a lot. I do use additional glycerine and top up cartridges but find that I get lots of vapour this way. The Intellicig is my workhorse e-cig. I also have a black 901 but prefer the draw on the dse103 (if that's what it is)

Super minis don't tend to be very popular with seasoned esmokers but potential converts often like something that looks like a cigarette.

Hi there

The DSE-103 is around the same level as the RN4081, but the RN4081 is slightly better.

Recently the DSE-103 models are equipped with an electromagnetic battery instead of the vacumm swtich, which provides constant current flow to the atomizer.

I don't really recommend super mini type electronic cigarettes for daily use, but the new DSE-103 is pretty good. Make sure you ask whoever you are puchasing from if it has the electromagnetic battery.

Are cartridges the same for DSE103 and RN4801? I mean if I bought RN cig can I order carts from DSE103 supplier? Thanks.

I'm rather new to the forum and wanted to say hello. I just got my DSE103 in the mail after waiting for over a month to get it. It came with a total of six cartridges, 1 atomizer, 1 battery, and a charger.

The first thing that I noticed was that the carts don't last the equivalent of a pack of smokes - I was told this. Also, the cig should have 2 batteries to be a good cigarette replacement (I used to smoke just under a pack a day).

In one day I ended up smoking all 6 carts - each one totaled about 5 -10 good puffs. I was hoping for a longer cartridge and battery life. Now, I've been looking at the DSE901... What do you guys think about how it compares?

I can tell that this vape smoking seems a lot better. I hadn't touched a cigarette in a day and I could actually smell food for the first time in years! ha!

I kinda wished that I was on this forum before buying. Oh well - ya gotta learn sometime.

I feel ya phreique, but i bought 50 cartridges with my DSE103, so i had cover until i found out of the liquids and got me some of it. The first time it stopped working i was furious, but luckily now i know that after cleaning the atomizer it takes some time to go back to normal.

I have one and I want my money back....

I have a dse103 and have to say at the moment I'm quite happy with it. The 6 carts that came with my kit didn't last long though and weren't overly strong either. Thankfully I also purchased 50 x 18mg carts and am going through them at an average of one a day.

Like I said, so far with my 103 I'm a happy vaper, but only time will tell I guess.

i have also a dse 103 good vapor performance , but the biggest downside is that needs constant refilling and batteries need frequent recharging

 

[Fedor]

Its a terrible supermini imo..

The battery and cart life is as what others have commented...

The durability is also an issue. After only about 1 - 2 weeks, atomiser performance dropped by 50% for my unit. Less drag, less vapor and hit by then..

Get an 801 or a 901 if you love DSEs but don't buy a 103...My personal point of view only...

[...] but the new DSE-103 is pretty good.

Yes confirm, but the manufacturer SLB seems to have quality managing issues, the latest DSE103 atomizer heaven_gifts ebay (takes QA-feedback for factory engineers) send to me (the version without whistle airsound) has better glass fibre mounting than the last (Accidently at too high pressure set steamcleaner blew it out, but it still works fine) but is a little critical with the correct liquid amount refilled in the tank. Too much and it will drown and minimum vapor, too less and it gets dry fast, and vapour quality and volume has become critical airflow behaviour dependant, this does not occur with the other "whistling" type, can anyone confirm this? A pity there's no serial# stamp on the atomizers, needed for factory QA-feedback.

Batteries are OK since months using flat cycle charging (have 2 ready and recharge often) as any other Li-Ion cells...

The autoclean feature is not enough to get the heater spiral fully clean, You need ethanol baths every 2 days and a steamcleaner every 6 days to keep the atomizer at full performance or it will suffer from a baked liquid crust, the autocleaning cannot remove completely.

Anyway, it's cheap and satisfying my needs

Takeback. Got another "none-whistling" one from ebay british seller lallaboutique

works fine. Will return-in the faulty one for warranty exchange to heaven_gifts (I should return-in the faulty heaven_gifts atomizer to lallaboutique to punish him for bad practices )

Hi everone.

I recently bought one of the DSE103 (V2) Atomizers from lallaboutique as a last ditch effort to get my super mini vaping and its made a ridiculous difference to performance.

My mini was from smartsmoker.co.uk and i think its a RN4081. It was a really hard draw when i bought it and no ammount of steam cleaning and soaking made it any better. I spent a fiver on the lallaboutique one and it vapes like a dream. I can even smoke it like an analogue without the 3 - 4 second draw. Theres just loads of vapour all the time. Even out performs my 901.

So if u got a crap super mini like mine... go buy one

Anyone bought a Smart 84mm from lallaboutique or the Advanced-Pro 84mm that I have from ElectronicSmokingShop.co.uk ? Be interested in any thoughts on this.

Yes, the Advanced-Pro 84mm to be exact... my thoughts... hmmm, I like the size, you can actually almost hold it as if it were a REAL cig. I hate the atomiser vacuum noise. How are you finding the carts? I was surprised just how small the actual carts were and they told me depending on draw style they are the equivalent to 8 cigs - HA !
I myself was a light smoker (10 per day) but even for me, I would go through 4 of these mini carts (LOW) per day. I've now had to order some liquid to top these carts up. Of course since receiving the kit last week, I've used up all of my carts so I'm back on the analogues at the moment.
I'm now going to have to purchase either a 901 or I'm seriously thinking about the new Titan with the PCC from The Electronic Cigarette Co.
I know that portable charging case would be ideal for me. I have made a couple of mistakes (wrong purchases) along the way, but hopefully, I'll get it right before I run outta money to spend on these things - which will be sooner rather than later!!!

I would send the 84mm back, but I kinda like it in a weird sort of a way even if only for back up/emergency value!

Am interested in your thoughts Grandma

Me too

Hmmm they are a bit small. Told me equivalent to 6 cigs, which seems about right.

OMG 8-o I'm on 40 a day so, went through all five carts (2xhigh 2xmed 1xlow) sent in the starter kit in 24hrs. had to go back to analogues while I waited for more carts, which arrived today. Have also bought liquid to top up.

So, you don't recomend the 84mm then?

Err, well who am I to recommend? I am just a newbie learning and experimenting with the different types of devices myself.

That said though, I don't believe the 84mm alone is a total solution (not for me anyway). BUT, it could be good to vape in the car and for when you really need a quick fix, especially if you are vaping in public and you don't want any awkward questions.

For me to completely switch to e-cigs, I think I will need a more durable device and can see myself regularly vaping a titan or a 901 at home.

The 84mm High carts are waaaaay too strong for me. I can only take 3 puffs at the most of these. I prefer the low carts, but because they are low it means I just keep vaping... which is probably not ideal either.

It's all just experimentation and personal preference and if the 84mm works for you - great and GOODLUCK
