DSE901 on ebay.

[ProStreet]

I have to wonder how this guy is doing it. He is selling the same exact DSE901 as (I wont say who but a popular person here and very rightfully so at that!) for $19 plus $10 shipping.

Well what boggles my mind is I actually just looked into buying a lot from centraltrade to resell myself and after shipping my cost alone would be close to $25 per starter kit then there is ebay fee's and paypal fee. I dont understand how this guy is selling these so cheap? What am I missing here?

Seen it and it was the same listing/seller that made me think twice about importing 40-50 kits and extras. As more sellers pop up around the globe I'm sure we will be seeing cheaper kit.

I agree. What I am wondering is how is he getting them SO cheap? He must make a profit on them even at $19. That means he is getting the starter kits for less than $10 in order to make any kind of reasonable profit. I am at a complete loss.

I have bought from this person. And the e-cig i got has no serial numbers on the battery it is not the same as the ones HG sells nor is it an RN Series. The atomizer works just just and the batteries are rubbish. It preformed worse in all areas, smoke production and battery life than a RN4075 that I had been smoking heavy for 3 weeks that was busy dieing. It had dirt like rust on the battery threads which even makes me suspect it was really old. If you want it exchanged pay shipping both ways.

Ahhhhh thanks for that info. Sounds like he is selling blemished items to me. Items that didnt pass quality check so he bought them as blems. That would explain the no serial numbers and other issues. The box he shows in the picture is the same exact box I received from a forum favorite reseller.

actually, there is a slight difference in the box. The old old models (5-6 months old) used to come with a Silver band. 1 holding a single battery, and 2 holding the atomizer/battery hooked up. In the picture, you will see these *rubber band* type things.

The newest ones come with foam cutouts ...

The box is identical to the one I got with my RN DSE901 I can't fault the box. The rest of it is not. The atomizer bridge looks different to the ones from HG which I have 4 of, it looks similar to the RN Series ones but it does not perform like either of them, after 3 weeks my original RN turned into a wimp making hardly any smoke and i was looking forward to my replacement from this guy and it was even worse. Half an hour of smoking is all the batteries lasted and because it made so little smoke i smoked it for the full half hour.

 

[KentSP]

I mean the box is identical on the outside. Cash is correct about the elastic stuff inside holding the ecig being different.

Yup your right I didnt notice that. I just noticed the carts and the main box itself.

I thought that meant a good seller. Will see in a short while, anyway.

I ordered one from this dude about 3 days
Had I known it might be inferior , I would have just bought one from cash for twenty bucks more and not wait 2 weeks lol

At the worst case , Ill use some spare parts from my ebay purchase ( or not if they arrive dead lol )

Anyway Ill give a review of the item once I receive it as well

PASTE: Normally parcel will arrive 7-15 days to main city of Europe and North america since we send you shipping note. 5-10 days to UK. : PASTE

man, 7-10 days would be nice.. if i order from dealxtreme.. and the part is in stock.. normally takes almost 3 weeks lol

[ZambucaLu]

Me too Jason...3 weeks!!! I was ready to shoot someone by then...lol

No matter where I have ordered from on ebay, it's never taken that long. I hope I never have to order from dealextreme again...for that reason!

[applefr3ak]

and their tracking sucks ......

 

[ZambucaLu]

Big time! LOL

well I finally got it guys.

At first it doesnt look any different than 901 sold in USA

I finished charging both batteries for 12 hours

First battery lasted about 4 hours , heavy vape no problem.
2nd battery works 50% of the time , I kinda have to rotate the 901 in circles for it to kick in again.
Everything else seems pretty new and normal.
What sucks is that I have to pay for postage back and forth for warranty , I might as well just buy another battery in US.


Final verdict

Stick with USA suppliers and dont buy from this guy.
If I order another battery from a US vendor ( about 15 bucks ) , I would have spent about the same amount of money as buying a 901 from USA in the first place and I dont have to put up with 12 day shippping time.

Since he is in xiamen, China, I would expect he is near one of the factories, and quite possibly selling factory seconds. Also bear in mind that his cost of living and standard of living are WAY different than ours. As for feedback mentioned later in this thread, many people leave feedback hours or days after receiving item so as not to forget to do so. This means immediate reactions, not long term, return sales, type of feedback like we get here.

He could be a worker and stealing the items...

That dose not explain why they don't work well though.

 

[Joshy_1289]

I recently bought one from him... I really do like it alot. The atomizer does heat up really fast for some reason...

he did send me the wrong battery color, i ordered a blue one and he sent me red. He did tho give me a 6 dollor discount soo, i got it really cheap.

I enjoy the cigar type tip on the end, i probably wont buy from him again tho. It took me 2 weeks to get it, so yeah.

My other E cig, dont know the model, is now sitting on my nightstand table used for back up...
