Have you tried both the 901 and 510? If you could only choose one, which one?

[The Fool]

Please only answer if you've tried both. I am thinking of renting a table at the local flea market to sell kits, not to make money, but to help get the word out to smokers. I just want to buy a few kits to start with and I just want to offer one kind at first. Of these 2, which do you think would give a person the best chance of switching over? Thanks in advance

510>901

the 510 has better throat hit and thicker, hotter vapor.

 

[JoeChemo]

I would recommend the 510 over the 901.

 

[rickyman]

I prefer the 510 over the 901. However, I wish my first pv would have been the 808. I think the learning process would have been a little less frustrating for me.

I currently enjoy both the 510 and the 808.

Maybe you would want to consider selling the 510 along with 510 cartos...?

 

[keveck]

Between those two, 510.

But, I agree with rickyman.

510 with cartos or KR808D-1 with cartos is the way to go for people that are new to e-cigs. 808's are easier to find prefilled carts too.

In a starter kit I think the 510 is better than the 901 because 901 batteries kinda suck. I use 901 attys on my mods and prefer them over the 510. If I was starting tomorrow knowing what I know now though my first kit would be a kr808D-1. I use the kr8 cartos with an adapter on a 901 mod and like them quite a bit. The kr8 has better stock batteries than either the 510 or 901.

Vapor is the best 'first impression' on newbies - 510 hands down. eGo kits would be best but more $$ of course. You could be using an eGo with an LR atty for a 'advanced demo'.

I prefer the 901 to 510 myself. Granted I have only tried the 510 from one manufacturer and gave up on it because the vapor was too hot for me.

Thanks so much everyone for your thoughtful replies. Will have to look into the 808. I tried the carto only once at a kiosk...just a couple of puffs. Didn't like the feel of metal in my mouth (reminded me of braces in High School).

I'm shooting for setting someone up for the same cost as a carton of cigarettes, which here in Missouri is just under $40. Thanks to all I've learned from ECF, that's very doable.

510 gets my vote.

 

[SuZamme]

The 510 is my favorite and the one I get for my new peps.

It works great, available in different colors, cartos are excellent, attys can be used on mods if, or rather when, a person decides to expand vaping horizons.

I'm still using my original kit from cignot and I got it in October 2009.

Good luck on your "spreading the word" about vaping. That's great!!!!!

901 atty on a KR808 Mega battery, no adapter needed. Great warm vapor and unsurpassed flavor. Also lasts 8 hours +

I like my 510 with the ZF Mod. Ordered the eGo battery/Cone and USB charger to use on the 510. Waiting for it to be shipped and received.

 

[brandon555]

510 hands down.

 

[honuhart]

510 would get my vote...

 

[DonDaBoomVape]

To me, this is like asking men if they prefer blondes or brunettes. Perhaps a higher percentage (at least of the "gentlemen") will say blondes. But you might prefer brunettes ... or redheads.

I am more in your camp, Bob. But, if the 901 is the brunette in my analogy, I like redheads (i.e., the 801) even more ... and love both of them on the new CigEasy Elegant.

I also vote for the 510. My first purchase was the automatic 901 and I was not impressed by it's longevity. If you are looking for a great price for multiple kits, checkout "e-liquid cn web shop". I haven't signed up with them so I couldn't check out their shipping (it's in China), but it might be worthwhile.
(I don't have enough posts for a link to work, so you can google "e-liquid cn web shop".)

I just started vaping this past Monday. I bought a 510 kit with the extended life batteries (280mAh). The batteries are okay, but I wish I had gone for the Kr808 or had known about the 510 cartomizers...I'm already fed up...

(I knew about the ego, but the 'look and feel' aspect was important to me...)

 

[lasttango]

Personally, I like draw on the 901... and I have just had better luck with 901 attys... BUT... I would go with the 510... I think it would have a bigger "WOW" factor...

 

[kalojado]

I vote for the 510 as well. I had a 901 early on and it just "felt" cheap and didn't last long. I believe it was a DSE901, and I just had so many issues. Attys didnt last long, batteries quickly died. Now I have a 510 that I have had since about November and some of the attys are still going strong. Well, maybe not as strong as in the beginning, but I don't have any original 901 attys that lasted. Only thing that really sucks on the 510 is battery life. I can only get 1-2 hours on one battery. But you can bypass that, get an eGo or even an XL eGo and get 12+ hours on one charge! They work amazingly!
