the battery is so tiny, it doesnt last long. i never vaped a full cartridge as you get a plastic taste straight away. have not messed around with it much though but only to fix the batts to my loong totem. i should experiment with it more (dripping wise etc) before i give any kind of qualified review. its the same as e-cigs mini i think which does not garner favorable opinions. you would be better off with one of their pen-styles. that and a bottle of flue24 does me royaly.

Tifa- the cigar paper had been discoloured from the cartridge leaking- I haven't had one leak into mouth yet, just htey arrived with leakage.
DC- what is your experience with the cigar? Mine is very sparodic vapor wise- one minute it's puffing clouds of vapor, then the next it's not and doesn't draw very well, then it is again- not sure what is goign on there? I've tried two now and borth are hte same way

out of 3 i have tried so far, one didnt give me much had a real difficult draw. the other two were good though on some occasions, yes they would slack off. my brother reckons if you point them towards the ground when this happens, it comes back up. he might have a point.
broke open the marlboro after reading how delighted you were. it does take a while for the flavour in mine at least to start coming through as the factory wouldnt prime the atomizer with the same liquid in the cart. but as you were sent yours for review, he might have had them made up specially.
just started toking on my marlboro which has been cracked open all night and im getting the flavour...not bad. i do taste a lttle cardboard though, but i have a similar complaint with the loongs where i taste rubber. might just be a "me" thing. i actually squeezed a rubber loong cap over one so i wouldnt scuff up the inhaling end. think one of those finger condoms you get in first aid kits would work the best though.

This is exactly what happens- also, the cigar majically picks up again when it;s laid down for abotu 5 minutes too for some reason
Yup i get that too- it's the paper on the cigar- not sure how to avoid that other htan maybe put some kind of slip cover onver hte end somehow.
I'm getting a wicked lung hit- a burning feeling- but I've had htis a couple of times before with other products and beleive it or not certain atomizers- I tried my Ruyan cigar to see if maybe I'm gettign lung cold or somethign, and that was fine- no burn. I had to stop smoking one atomizer because it got so bad- not sure why it did that, perhaps the fiber in the coil gets somewhat scorched or something and causes hte burn. Will see if this Bestecig cigar gets worse or not
Not real crazy bout hte 555 flavor- it's to sweet and 'musty-ish' flavored for me. The Marlboro one is still tastign quite nice htough, but hte burn might be too much
One note- My previous cigar from BestEcig I could not smoke at all- it came with fluecured cart, and it actually stung the back of my throat, like a sore that had salt rubbed in it- and it tasted liek grass clippings- I tried vaping it all day long and each time I got that wierd stinging feeling- it was awful- had to squeeze hte juice out of cartridge and refill with my own- I'm still using it, but it became very sparodic- good vapor, then whimp, then good again. Beci was great htough- she apologized, and htoguht maybe there was soemthign wrong with that particular cartridge, and she imemdiately sent me another cigar with hte two cartridges to try. Beci has been very fast to respond, and a nice person to deal with.
The battery set-up is wierd inside- not sure how I'd rig another battery set-up to it- not sure which wires do what, but I want to try to see if a stronger battery would give a consistent vapor as compared to hte sparodic one- I'm thinking it's either the battery set up, or perhaps the bridge on atomizer isn't leachign hte liquid efficiently enough- seems it owudl be hte latter though

the way the batteries are set up it seems they are used sequentially, when one goes another takes its place. i actually liked the first flue cured i got as it was extra-high and really had a bite. when i needed a hit of nic, i reached for that. the 555 had the hard draw, the liquid was also medium (all 555 are) and i couldnt really differenciate much of a taste. so far i like the malboro but i am not as enamored as you are with the flavour. i think you got a good one. mine's kind of bland still. still have a vanilla-high and a fluecured-high left to try. if i ordered again, i would get all extra-high though as i love satisfaction the nic content gives.
i agree also that beci is a pleasure to deal with and does very well with customer service and support. he is online every night and answers questions very honestly for the most part. wish i had got a menthol cigar as i do like the menthol carts i got with the pen-style...very minty, feels like i brushed my teeth after i smoke one...("hold on a minute darling let me have a smoke first, have to freshen up!")

well ive only 2 problems with them the light on my mini comes on just from picking it up and the blank carts donot come with plugs. any ideas for keeping them from drying out without plugs?? have sent them a message about the plugs.
I have started to change atomizer with out and about instead of carts. I fill cart and put in atomizer only when I am going out. I have six or eight caps to use on carts that I do carry in case of an emergency. Changing atomizers is much faster and less mess for me. I always get juice on my fingers taking the caps off and handleing the cart.
Mine was released from US Customs on Monday, less than a week. So it should be here by tomorrow I'm thinking. Do we have to sign for them the EMS ones or will they just leave it on the porch?
Lucky--You will need to be their to sign--once out of customs USPS picks it up and ships Express Mail overnight--you can use the same EMS tracking number over at www.usps.com --and Lucky it will be there tomm!!!!!---Sun

Low long was your item in Customs?
Mine's been sitting there since Friday, and I'm getting antsy. I ordered a battery, a couple atomizers, and a bunch of liquid.
I think mine hit customs on Friday and left on Monday. So I'm with Sun I think I'll have it tomorrow. I ordered 25 attys. Maybe cuz you have liquid it's sitting there still?? Dunno.
Just got my first order from Beci. It took 10 days, 5 to get to JFK (my neighborhood airport) and another 5 to get through customs and be delivered.
Well worth it! I got 5 penstyle atomizers ($30). Each one fired up on the first puff. Each one smokes like a locomotive! I ordered 10 more as well as 5 for my 901.
As an added bonus the factory juice, which usually tastes like dreck, is very neutral in these at's. I put in a few drops of my home-brewed apple juice and the flavor came through immediately.
This has got to be THE source!
