package says Health E-cigarette, about $12

I bought one of these from DealExtreme a month or so ago, and it came with some cart flavor that is hard to describe.... kind of a Merit (dunno if they even still make those) kind of sweet tasting, almost coconut... the vapor hangs in the air unlike any liquids I've tried

anyway, the e-cig is still working, and I'm down to my last few carts... But I LOVE the flavor and would like to find it in liquid for my 401 and 510.

anyone have any ideas?

I have the black box version with the 2 chargers...that are what looks like an M series.

I've only had them a day, but, I was surprised how much vapor it puts out. Flavor it puts out, is crap. But, it's stock no nic carts. I plan on putting PTB in the carts and refilling and seeing how long it last.

It really doesn't look and feel as cheap as I thought it would.

All in all, for 10 bucks, if I get 3 days use and I'm even with what I spent on smokes. And, I got a nice USB charger, and USB car charger too, that I can use with my ipod.

yep, black box one... worth it for the chargers alone

Biggest downside is that they just throw in a 10-pack of whatever flavor/nic carts... don't have a clue what flavor I received or even if it has any nicotine, although they have the multiple choice check boxes marked as high..

I was surprised I liked the flavor, after seeing some reviews, but defnly tastes a little like merit/coconut/baseball card gum...

I got the health-e cigarette to see if I would like the e-cigs. It worked long enough for me to get sold on the concept, but the taste was different... I didn't really like it. Also the atomizer broke within minutes causing me to get a replacement, and the battery broke within after my first cart.

The smoke it produced was thick. More like a fog machine than an e-cig.

I would recommend anyone wanting to try e-cigs should get a disposable instead. About the same lifespan, but cheaper.

I've used it gently and don't have much faith in it's durability... the real value is in the chargers(AC to usb and car adapter to usb), which btw, will charge an m401 battery, not sure how well, but it does that though.

I hate having the "health" label on this thread title, but I want to find this flavor...

lemmee try again:

**puff**.....tastes like some cigarette I used to smoke out of grandmom's ash tray when I was a kid... Merit, Vantage, maybe More (brand) and a little Macaroon... lol

The ecighawaii models are some sort of a 401. I got an order from them (my first e-cig as a matter of fact). Constance sent me the newer model after a screw-up in my Amazon order and threw in some extras. Not a bad cig, not great but not too bad. You can actually refill the carts, they have a drop in cart much like the evo carts.

And I've charged my evo's using the ecighawaii chargers.

Wrecktangle,

I'm new to this eCig thing and just got my ecighawaii setup and a bottle of eJuice. Any tips on how to refill the carts? I saw a video on Connie's site about soaking up the juice using the atty. Figure there has to be a better way.

Also I had one of the carts foil(?) liner stick to my atty and had to peel it off, ever experience this? Changed Carts and the atty seems to be no worse for the wear.

Thanks for any info you can send my way

fireman, once you get all that you can out of a cart, get some tweezers and stick them in the open end of the cart. You should be able to pull out a clear plastic inner cart. You'll find some foil and really tough plastic on it (must be how they seal them for freshness). Once you have the inner cart out, clean away any foil and plastic and inside you find a bit of poly (polyester cotton). Either rinse out the poly, or go to Walmart and get some polyester (search here for "Walmart", there are a ton of posts related to using this stuff, or even "Fluval", a material used in aquarium filters). Stuff a bit of poly back into the inner cart, ever so loosely.

Drip several drops of juice onto the poly until saturated, not wet, but really moist. Stuff the inner cart back into the outer cart, push down on the edge with a paper clip or the end of the tweezers. Assemble the whole thing back onto the batt, wait a few seconds for the atty to absorb some of the juice, and toke away. You can top off the inner cart very carefully using a syringe or small eye dropper.

Good luck!

Oh, and yeah, the foil from a new cart sticks all the time to the atty. Just use your fingernail and gently scrape it off.

This is an old thread, but I bought one of these two weeks ago for $8.66 shipped (DealExtreme: $8.66 Quit Smoking USB Rechargeable Electronic Cigarette with 10-Refills (Marlboro Taste)). I was surprised at how much vapor they put out and they actually had kind of a taste, but 0 nic. I used a syringe to put some of my Dino juice in and they worked great. Unfortunately, I ran the batteries (I bought two) down too low past the low voltage cutoff and they wouldn't charge anymore.

The threads of the atty almost fit my 4081 Copper, but were too small. I actually gave up on them until I was searching thought the forum tonight. So, I got an idea and grabbed one of my 510 batteries. The problem is that the atty is too short to make contact. Hmmm, what to do?

Being an electronic and IT guy, I grabbed a roll of solder off the shelf and made a small single ring coil with small pliers that did not touch the sides of the battery. I cut a little strip of paper and placed it around the wall of the battery to just above the height of the solder coil and then placed the coil on the center post of the battery. I screwed on the atty, pushed the button and vapor!

Unfortunately, the thing I most liked about the Health thingy was that it was as convenient as an analog and my 510 batts are manual. I already have a manual on the way from DinoVapor, so that is solved. Another worry was if the paper got saturated with juice so, I replaced the paper with electrical tape. My next step will be to heat up my soldering iron and put a couple of permanent "extension" beads on the bottom of the atty to replace the loose solder coil. BTW, after I fill the cart with a syringe and they last for a bit. Almost as long as my 901s but, no where near as long as my 801 carts.

I have two boxes of the e-health cigarette. I agree that the flavor tastes like a "More" cigarette. Maybe the closest thing to a more would be a Dunhill? I found some "Dunhill" eliquid here:

Sorry, I cant post links yet. Rocky mountain vapor has a Dunhill flavor.

I think more and Swisher Sweets taste like More, but much stronger. I worked at a gas station for a couple years, and I tried a different brand of smokes every day.
