Is it me, or does DSE901b tastes better than the kissbox!

[siggywiggy]

I started with the Smoking Everywhere (what a STUPID name for a company!!!) brand of DSE901band recently got the Kissbox.

I notice that YES the kissbox produces more vapor, BUT (and this is a big but), the little smoking everywhere tastes much better.

The flavor of the Kissbox is very VERY subtle and a bit frustrating in fact, whereas the 901b has a strong flavor of whatever flavor you are inhaling, and even leaves a nice burning nicotine residue which I love. The Kissbox flavor is so mild that it's hard to tell which juice I'm using unless I blow through my nose and really think about it!!

Am i the only one that notices this?

MERGED:
If this damn forum would let me edit my posts (ARGH!!) I would have changed my post! The first few drags after I put some new juice in my 901b were ridiculously flavorful, then after that they died down somewhat. I do think the flavor is somewhat more pronounced in the little guy though....just not as much as when I wrote the above.

This crap about having to post 15 times before you can edit your posts makes absolutely no sense!

a bit annoying but probably necessary as a means of defense against guerrilla spammers.
never tried a "smoking anywhere" so i can't comment. not sure which liquid they use.

I have a janty classic. Very good e-cig but the smoke seems drier and less full flavoured than the screwdriver and 901. I think a lot of this is personal tase just like ciggy brands. I also have 2 super minis atomisers and 4 batteries . Basicaly they are a waste of space except one specific battery with one specific atomiser creates a realy good vape. Any other combination is hopeless.

I don't have a janty yet, but i'll agree that the smoke in the 901 is very flavorful. I heard somewhere the 901b we are getting now burns 15% hotter than other 901's.

 

[trog100]

there are two 901 types.. one does run hotter than the other.. the more common RN 901 type (coloured ones) is the hot one.. the original dse 901 is the cooler one..

horses for course.. the cooler one is more mellow.. the hotter one more harsh and and has more vapour and throat bite..

all screwdrivers shipped in the last two weeks have the cooler running dse atomizers.. when the batch runs out we are going back to the hotter RN type..

this kind of knowledge is only just showing up.. we learn as we go along..

ps.. i think u have the RN type tony.. the original dse type can be obtained from wayne at HG china.. most UK/US resellers stock the RN type

Thanks for clearing that up for me, trog.

Hmmm....I might just have to bite the bullet and get a screwdriver. Just too many raves about them!

I noticed something similar between my Janty Classic and Puresmoker penstyle. In my case, though, Janty chocolate tastes way better with the Janty, while Ry4/coffee tastes way better with the Puresmoker penstyle.... I wondered whether it was something about temperature, or the size of the holes in the atomizer, or what.... Something to keep in mind, though....

 

[shawnp1]

it could be the draw on the different units. sometimes with the janty a long slow easy draw make them work the best for me. usually this way there is a good amount of vapor an plenty of taste. it might just come down to each model needing a little different technique.

 

[Schroedinger's cat]

Thank you for that insight, Shawn. I will try to experiment with the draw to see whether the flavors taste differently that way. It had not occurred to me that that could be a reason for the difference, although it makes sense. I guess, however, that the way the atomizer is made is part of that (or the temperature it burns at), too, otherwise the same draw would yield the same taste with the same liquid.

 

[shawnp1]

yea with the easier draw u are gettin alot more air an dilluting the vapor an flavor. it just takes a little practice

So far I'm finding that my Kissbox has better taste and harshness than the 901.

 

[HelloItsRandy]

it could just be a bias towards one from the other no? like if you think you'll like one more it will be better than the other? for instance, kate is a fan of her (sorry to use you in my example!) kissbox. I am too. i think it's super flavorful. more so than my 901.

 

[Schroedinger's cat]

In my case I don't think it's bias. I definitely notice that some flavors are better with one than the other, and vice versa. I really think that the atomizer works as a different "cooking" method, or something of the sort....

 

[bribri]

One of the very small flaws of the kissbox is to increase vapor it tends to overcook the juice. And one of the very qualities of smokingeverywhere is it somehow has a very good, (though plastic-y) flavor. I honestly have tried 15 ecigs so far and each one the taste is very different and I dont think anyone knows why exactly yet. Just the way the air hits the device In think...

Shawn, 100% correct, plus, when u find a great atomizer, cherish it, i find they are far, and few, in between. The manufacturing is so inconsistent, it sucks.

I have tried over 75 so far, and found about 15, or 20% to be great/good.8-ohopefully it will get betta

 

[trog100]

the chines makers are all moving towards easier to draw atomizers.. when the air passage governs the process (hard to suck) the user has little control.. its impossible to pull more air thru the device than it wants u to..

the later variants have less restricted air passages.. the latest dse 901 batteries also have a more sensitive "suck" switch..

this all pans out to the user being able to suck slow or fast.. they have some control.. the slower and more gentle the suck the more powerfull the vapour is.. but the less there is..

the faster the suck the more air gets mixed in to dilute the vapour.. more but weaker vapour is the result..

the chinese have their simple priorities.. more real cig like.. easier to draw thru goes along with this.. so does smaller..

I have both a 901b and a KB, in my experience the KB is a lot smoother to vape than the 901b and i find provides more flavour, i like using both and for a harder hit as such i pick up the 901.......it's all so subjective i think....rather akin to having a whisky, what tastes good to one person may taste like meths to another!!!
