Just about ready to order...

[xXChrisHansenXx]

So after spending all of yesterday and a good portion of today reading, watching videos and pictures all about e-cigs, I think I'm sold on the idea. I've decided to go with Puresmoker, where I want to pick up the white pocket mini (DSE901), I also want to pick up a third battery as well as a couple Atomisers. My questions are:
A) how often do they restock? as it seems right now that nearly everything is out of stock, and I'd like to wait until I can make one big order instead of several smaller orders.
B) Are puresmoker.com's e-cigs compatible with a lot of other brands, say I wanted to buy carts, juice, atomisers, batteries etc at other places?
C) If I were to buy empty carts somewhere, and a variety of different juices, I could theoretically keep using the same cart, as long as I make sure it's the same flavor, correct?

I'm also concerned that with all these replacement parts I'm ordering, that instead of cutting down the cost of smoking, I'll be spending more money on atomisers and juice, can someone put me at ease on that or is it just one of the casualties of war for switching from analog?

I have no idea why I alphabetized those... but I think that's all my questions for now! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot, you've already been so helpful!

I think they restock every few weeks but you could ask Steve for sure via pm or e-mail or on the forum here under their name. I feel most are comperable to other places with the exception if you were to order from China directly. It seems buying that way is cheaper but I have no clue as to shipping ect. You can spend alot to get started but after 3 weeks or so you should start to see your savings. I have only ordered from Puresmoker so I dont have anything to compare them to but I have been pleased with the service and items I have bought and received.

And yes theoretically you could use a cart per flavor or you can buy the filler at walmart and make your own wicks or wash rince and reuse fillers..
Hope this helps some.

That helps indeed! Thank you so much!

you wouldn't happen to know what his username is on by any chance? and you're sure he wouldn't mind some noob bothering him about inventory?

Hes Cashmere its spelled like that I think but some of the letters are capitalized. His real name is Steve and then there is Daniel and Joanne. Steve is really nice IMO.

Can't help with this one as I have never done business with Puresmoker simply because everything I wanted, they were out of :-(.

Yes, You can wait and do a big order once he gets stock in or you can get it from other vendors that do have what you want in stock (what I did).

B) Are puresmoker.com's e-cigs compatible with a lot of other brands, say I wanted to buy carts, juice, atomisers, batteries etc at other places?

Unless I miss something a DSE-901 is a DSE-901 is a DSE-901 . I got my 901 from one place along with extra atomizers, replacement atomizers for my 801 from another and the 510 and some juice from another (spare atomizers and batteries for it from another unless he get spare parts), so yes, it is possible . So far my major juice supplier is TotallyWicked but I also got some various ones to try from other sources that did have stock.

C) If I were to buy empty carts somewhere, and a variety of different juices, I could theoretically keep using the same cart, as long as I make sure it's the same flavor, correct?

Yes.

Also easy enough to replace the wick material in the cartridge with the Fluval aquarium filter pads (NOT the foam ones) an a pair of scissors . Washing them out before they get worn out is easy enough too.

I'm also concerned that with all these replacement parts I'm ordering, that instead of cutting down the cost of smoking, I'll be spending more money on atomisers and juice, can someone put me at ease on that or is it just one of the casualties of war for switching from analog?

Consider it startup costs.

My first month on this I spent just a bit more than I would have on analogs and will have 3 different e-cigs / personal vaporizers (801, 901 and 510-C) with spare parts and a modest supply of juice.

After this I expect occasional atomizers and eventually batteries (and probably a USB passthrough at some point) with juice being the only constant. That will be a LOT less than what I was spending on analogs, at this point (I am pretty new to this too even if I did spend some time researching it).

At this point I *think* I will probably use (at least at first) two bottles of juice a month (30 mL, planning on TW at this point unless some of the stuff I got to try turns out really good).

Interesting to note that having started with the 801 I pretty much saved enough to get all this rather than spending it on analogs .

I have no idea why I alphabetized those... but I think that's all my questions for now! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot, you've already been so helpful!

Good on ya for doing the research! Hope this helps.

Added in edit:

In case it seems like I have lost my mind with all this , the truth of the matter is that I really do NOT want to have to revert back to analogs - the few I have done while waiting for everything to arrive (stretching my last 801 atomizer) have been pretty gross. Since starting on the ecigs I really don't want an analog, compared to ecigs they taste like what I imagine a well used kitty box would now :-( :-/ .

But yes, there are folks that make a hobby out of this and I can think of worse hobbies by far (I may becoming one of those folks .
