DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!
just a howdy from a feller Texan here! what part of Texas you in?
i am still waiting on my first ecig from puresmoker. steve says i should get it tomorrow. woohoo! will write about it when i do!
how long did it take you to get stuff from puresmoker?


Ok, been a reading lurker here for a few days now since I got my first e-cig. I got it Monday and haven't had a 'real' cig since. I'm totally stoked (pun intended) about this product. I bought the 901 and it's been pretty perfect for me. I too was a 'light' smoker unless around other smokers or a good drink. I ordered the juice on Steve's advice (he runs puresmoker.com) and um, got it today... SHAZAM! It made all the difference.

Now, in all honesty, yes, I researched and read the forums and was all set to go with a set on ebay of the 901 when I read a review on puresmoker.com. I decided I wanted to go with a site that was dedicated to the knowledge and would help me through learning. Ladies and gents, I'm sooooo glad I did. Steve has been a tremendous help in my education and his customer service is top notch. I ordered my first e-cig last Friday, he sent it Saturday and it was in my mailbox on Monday! I ordered the juice Tuesday, he sent same day and I got it today! I got the minty menthol and the cherry and can I just say... YUM!

Rock on Puresmoker.com and all you vapeing pals out there! :thumb:

Man, the more I read this forum, the more difficult it is for me to decide what I want to buy. I think I've almost got everything figured out, but now I'm being picky about flavors. I'm mostly looking at the Pure/Cash eJuice flavors, not really sure which one to get. The Pure is $10 for 15ml and the Cash is the same price, but only 10ml. But at the same time, for $10 more you can get a 30ml, so its pretty much the same.

The flavors I'm interested in are:

Green Tea
Mango
Menthol (any kind)
Coffee
Vanilla
something really sweet and/or fruity
Somethin citrusy?

I wish I could try all the flavors and decide what I want, but I don't want to get some nasty flavor that I wont ever use. I ordered an apple flavored hookah one time at a bar, and it tasted like absolute crap!! Very licoricey, which I hated, as well as most of my friends. Either they screwed up or have some weird apples.

So yea anyways... can you recommend which Cash or Pure juice? If it was the same, I'd rather get Pure since for the same price, I can experiment with more flavors

I ordered a bunch of the flavors of the Cash Juice when I ordered my 901s from Puresmoker (the shipping really is just as fast as everyone says) and I am finding that I prefer the flavors that don't try to taste like tobacco.

I got the Minty Menthol, Riskee Juice, French Pipe, Marlboro (haven't tried this one yet) Vanilla, Chocolate, Coca Cola, and Strawberry.

Until this past Monday I was a 30-40 a day smoker, now it is about 2 or 3 a-day. I made my own cigarettes and smoked either menthol, or a vanilla-menthol blend.

I am finding that my favorite e-smoke is a 50/50 blend of the chocolate and the Minty Menthol. The Coca-Cola would probably be number 2.

I wound up buying two full starter kits so that I would have two atomizers and four batteries, and I am glad that I did. I usually wind up putting in a battery at about 8 o'clock at night or so, and that one lasts me until about 1 o'clock the next day. Then I switch the battery and it lasts me until about 8 o'clock that night.

I went with the two starter kits so that I would have two chargers instead of just one with extra batteries.

I would love to see a charger at some point that would charge two batteries at a time.

Good luck with whatever you decide to buy!

Hi Kii. I've tried many of Cash's flavors and it seems that everyone's favirites are a personal preference. I will tell you though that you won't get the licoricey flavor from any of the fruits. They are all fruity. The differences in the Pure and Cash juices are subtle and more about the throat hit than the flavor really. I would suggest you start off with the Apple and Cherry Pure juices. They are both sweet and fruity but not overpowering. As for citrusy, I can't help ya there as I'm not a citrus fan. Many have said that the Cash Orange Peel is wonderful though. His vanilla is nice as well, both the Pure and the Cash Vanilla, and isn't overpowering either. If you're looking for something REALLY fruity and powerful the Cash Pina Colada is definitely that. Word of caution though, it's a stalker juice. It will stay in your atomizer for hours, even days. Everything you vape out of that atomizer will have a pineapple taste to it for quite a while. For this reason I keep two atomizers. One is mostly for my ina colada and I'll use other fruit flavors in that one as well. The other is for my coffee, vanilla, chocolate type flavors. I've only tried one mint flavor and from my experience and the posts I've found here on the board menthol is very hard to duplicate. Most find that the menthol flavors are more mint than anything and don't give that cool menthol lung hit that you get with menthol cigs. The mints are great as a between flavors vape as it will cover any other flavor in an atomizer for quite a while.
 
Ok, first Howdy to my fellow Texans. Now for some replies... (sorry for the delay couldn't figure out how to get back to my doggone posts!)

1. I got my orders from Puresmoker.com within 3 days from order each and every time. Steve is awesome.

2. Yes, I got CaSH's juice and I have to say... Holey toledo batman it makes all the difference. I think his minty menthol does give me the throat and mouth hit I crave with being a menthol cig smoker.

3. I'm close to Dallas (just northeast in a small town called Rockwall)

4. For a coupon, I just typed in google 'puresmoker.com coupon code' and it came up. I happen to think that CaSH's juice is the best thing out there. I tried one other and I won't even mention the name, it didn't do a thing for me.

Now, lastly, there are a lot of sites out there. There even seem to be several good ones although I've not tried them. I like working with Steve. He's been very honest and forthcoming on all my questions. So for me, it's all about customer service. It's key to any business and Steve has it in boatloads.

heehhe, now that I figured out how to get back to my measly posts I'll check back for responses.

Be well all!

I myself would be curious to try the coffee or vanilla. Right now I have the mint and the cherry. Separate or together they are pretty darn tasty.

Now for my confession, last night I had a couple of puffs from a real cig... Um, can you say... gross? yup, thought ya could. I actually prefer e-cig taste so much better. One thing I am noticing is the longer/harder draw and the audible whistling through the atomizer. I have the 901. Anyone have any luck with something quieter and easier draw?

Be well,
ang.

i like the draw on the 901. some of the pen models with 4 holes have a very easy draw to them. the m401 also has a nice sooth draw to it. i personally like the vanilla flavor, as for coffee it is good but just not my favorite vape. which is weird bc i love my coffee black an strong.
 
shawn,

I think the draw changed on mine since I lost my steel wool in the atomizer. I may have to put this down until I get a new one. The atomizer has also been getting a lot hotter since I lost the steel wool. <sniff, sniff>

:::awaiting my next paycheck to eagerly place an order:::

In the meantime, I really don't wanna go back to the ole' nasties...

::sigh::
be well,
ang
 
The bad news is, yeah the steel wool came out of my atomizer :( It got stuck on the fibers of the cartridge and when I pulled it out, out came the steel wool with it. Steve is so great though and has offered to send me out a new atomizer. He thinks it was because I was smoking the cartridges too dry but after looking at the steel wool there was a small area that was like sticking up and hooking onto the fibers. Anyways, live and learn. I will be looking forward to a new atomizer so I may resume vaping. But I'm bound and determined NOT to go back...

Will have to try the penstyle next I think to see the different draw. Out of all the products out there Shawn, which do you prefer? I kinda like the look of those super mini's that are the same size of an actual ciggie. What say ye?

Ok I JUST got my Dse901 and I'm super excited :D:D

First of all, I'm confused about the charging instructions. The video says they come fully charged and no need to charge but the paper that came with it says I need to do an initial charge of 10-12 hours. Which is it? I tried charging the battery as soon as I got it, but it turned green after a few minutes. But when I tried to smoke it, the battery only lasted for a few puffs before it went back to flashing that it was low on battery. I'm confused.

Also, how do I drip onto the catridge? Do I literally just open it and drip it onto the cartridge? Just making sure.

the superminis are nice bc of the size. the battery life an cart life is fairly short though. as for my favorites i smoke the pipe when i am sittin here at home. i use a 901b or a m401 when i am out an about. the pen style is a tried an true worker since the battery last longer an the carts are a little bigger.

I'm guessing you got your dse901 from steve because of the note thing. My first kit didn't come with a note but i suggest you do charge it initially for 8-12 hrs (8 being the minimum) for best performance. Also i used to drip on my atomizer but it is only good for a fully charged battery otherwise i don't suggest it with the dse901 anyway. Once i get my SD i will try dripping again because it seems i got more flavor that way. On my fourth week and still learning new techniques from the forum so good luck.

It is confusing. But I think that the initial charge should be considered to test the unit. Give the new owner a drag or two...but if you don't do an initial long charge, you pay later...I know I have. The extra note I have recommended because in the thrill of getting the new gadget and being able to use it right off the bat...why read instructions? The long charge directions are hidden in the middle of the owners manuals. So, you get it test it and when it starts to die down in the vapor dept. you charge it...but only until the little grn lite shows...it needs more if you want it to have a full charge memory...there is my thoughts...
