Let me start by saying, I'm not really new to vaping, but I still have questions. I currently use a KR808D-1 (mostly at work for the convenience of not topping off etc.) an Adaptever with 901 adaptor (my go to workhorse) and a 510 (but not very often anymore). My favorite is the 901 due to the flavor and vapor production. I'm seriously considering a Sidesho and was curious how it compares to these models. Also, I used to have a 401 and I HATED it due to the tiny carts and sensitive batteries. Will I be topping off more or about the same as with my 901? Thanks for any help you can give. :cool:

Sorry bro, wish I could help ya, but I haven't tried any of those models. But I can say that about 3 weeks ago I was smoking a pack of Kools a day and can tell you that my Sidesho I have in my hand right here is awesome and I'm exhaling beautiful amounts of vapor. I'm also not just getting a great throat hit but also an awesome "Lung Hit". You know that sensation of smoke reaching the lungs giving you that nice "satisfied" feeling. My Kools never stood a chance.
But thats my 2 cents, but I'm sure there are others here who have tried a bunch of models and can give you an E Cig to E Cig comparison. The only comparison I can give is to my trusty Kools which still hold a special place in my heart....just not in my lungs. The Sidesho has taken over.

BTW: I don't know if you are a dripper, but I have recently started dripping on my Sidesho "experimentally" wise with one battery and one atomizer and my Sidesho has so far responded quite favorably to the experiment and is giving the best smoking of my life. Not just vaping...but smoking. I am getting on average about 10 drags of glory, and then if I unscrew and blow the atomizer a bit I can drag for about 5 more. I believe blowing on the atomizer first instead of just dripping more liquid not only saves you more liquid but also does well to avert any liquid from getting on the battery. However manual batteries are pretty much here for the Sidesho and since you are an experienced vaper that is probably good news for you as well. I will probably get a manual battery for my Sidesho and just to see what everyone is raving about since I never experienced a manual battery.

Even if you aren't into that stuff since it can be risky, out of the box the Sidesho is still amazing in my eyes and can be used effectively whatever your vaping method may be.

I can't really give you a comparison since this was my first e-cig, but I can tell you my impressions. When I purchased my Sidesho, I wasn't expecting to be as big of a vaper as I've become, I just wanted something that looked reasonably like a normal cigarette to divert unwanted attention. I kinda wish I had have gone with the 902 instead now. Don't get me wrong, the Sidesho is wonderful and works great, my problem is I'm constantly topping off and refilling because I vape so heavily. It certainly would be nice to have a larger cart.

The auto batteries are super sensitive, but I don't find this to be much of a problem unless I'm around a lot of noise. Having said that, I'm still looking forward to trying out the manual batteries to see if I like them any better. My main problem with the auto batteries comes in the form of longevity. I simply kill the bloody things too quick! The PCC is wonderful if you're at work and need to recharge between breaks, just not so great at keeping up with my heavy vaping at home. I'm really going to have to invest in a wall charger soon because the poor PCC just can't keep me charged up and nothing sucks more than killing your second battery while the other is still charging up!

Owing to these factors, I'm willing to say that the 902 would have likely been a better fit for me. Failing that, it might be time for me to consider getting a Prodigy as my main work horse while keeping my Sidesho for public outings so that I don't end up looking like a crack head! ;)

Before I lead anybody to the wrong impression, let me clarify this statement. I don't mean to imply that the quality of the PCC is "poor", but rather that I abuse the "poor little thing" with how often I'm jacking a battery into it! The PCC works wonderfully, it's just not quick enough to keep up with a junkie like me! :lol:
