Not sure what you meant by it is broken, but maybe it can be fixed? What is wring with it?

I bought one from nhaler for $58 shipped with the code and have been using it for about a week now with no problems. I even dropped it on concrete and it still works fine. I agree with Grimm about the red light. I don't like that and wish there was a way to disable it. Other than that it is an ok mod for a starter. I put it beside my screwdriver and they are basically the same size. However the SD is obviously better made and I like the button placement alot better on the SD. The button on the 905 reminds me of the one on a standard manual 510 battery.
I am really suprised to see all these problems with the 905. I have been using one for 4 weeks now, and I am a heavy vaper. My only complaint is I didn't like the 901 atty that came with - I got a 510 adapter and just love it with that. Great vapor production and throat hit. 1 battery lasts all day long without running down. I got mine from madvapes and also ordered the 510 adapter and the protected batts from them. They have a 6 month warranty on the unit, so I am not worried, but I can't imaging it breaking very easily - it is quite sturdy and seems very reliable.
My switch VAPE switch is now sticky and does not always work , I think there is juice in it ! , I will clean it to see
The LED is HUGE and bright , also the little rubber piece over the switch falls out I had to use elec. tape to tape it in

The manufacturer has been addressing the issues..
The improvements so far that have been made:
Battery connector is now sealed so juice can't get down into the electronics..
Updated switch and little rubber cover to minimize the rubber push button falling out..
Updated electronics for battery in backwards problem..
Stronger cap area so it does not break as easily.
I'm glad I only had 10 of the V1's.. There's no actual recall but if you have a V1 you need to contact your vendor and see if they'll replace the top part for you for free...

On mine ( I think its a V1 ? ) you can see past the PCB pcboard , I have had some leakage also .
It would be nice if someone could post a pix of the V2

So I'm sitting here at my home office desk waiting in anticipation of the arrival of my new DSE905. I checked the usps website this morning and it ways that my unit is on the delivery truck now. I only worked a couple of hours this morning so I could be home when it gets here LOL.
So now I am sitting here wondering. Will it be good or will it be DOA, should I have ordered an adapter to use my 510 atty on it. will it last as long as others say it will. So many questions and no DSE905 yet LOL. The mailman is usually here by now, but he has not arrived yet. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait a little longer and hope that he gets here soon. This is killing me waiting around.

You CRACK ..... !! ( just kidding , I did the same thing LOL )
You should be fine , I just talked to my supplier and they are replacing mine with the V2 in black .
I have had some problems BUT it works so !
If it is a V1 ask them to trade it in for the V2

ROTFL, I suppose I am kind of a crack ....., but nicotine is my frug of choice.
Woo hoo, it finally came!!!
I just unboxed it and the batteries were fully charged. I still can't tell if it is a V1 or a V2, but I took all the little goodies out of the box and assembled it. The first few hits were a little weak, but that soon changed as soon as I primed the atty with a couple drops of juice.
This thing works great and is very solid. in fact it is very very solid. All of the parts fit together nicely and there are no loose The vapor production is just a little less than my 510, but not enough to complain about. It is a little on the heavy side, but I suppose all of the big batt models are. This is the first big batt mod that I have purchased, so I have no idea what the other ones are like, but I would assume they are similar in weight.
I kinda like the LED because I no longer have to go cross eyed to see the tip of the battery like on my 510. I might find it kind of irritating after a while because it is kind of bright.
All in all I am pretty happy with it even though I have only been using it for about 20 minutes now. I'll have to wait and see how I feel about it a week or two from now. I might even get a 510 adapter for it to see if it gives me a little more vapor than my 510 with the mega batt.
One more thing. There is definately more flavor using the 905 than there is in my 510. I can really taste the juice a lot more. While the 510 did give a little more vapor, the taste was a little on the burnt side. The 905 does not seem to have that problem.

The easiest way to tell is if you take the top cap off, take the atty off and try and blow through it.. If you can blow air through then it's most likely a V1.. Doesn't mean it's bad or you'll have problems with it though..
I still have a V1 that's about 1 month old that I use all the time and no problems with it yet...

Totally agree.. The 905 was my first experience with a 901 type atty and the first thing that I noticed was that I wasn't pumping liquid into it constantly.. The 901/905 seems to vape consistenly until the cart is dry.. I'm always topping off the 510 carts even after just a couple of minutes but the vapor production is good....

I'm having trouble getting any vapor with my 905. I've tried 2 different 901 attys and neither the round carts that came with the 905 nor the flat tips are giving me any vapor to speak of. I welcome suggestions on what I could be doing wrong.
I've blown out the attys, even tried priming the atty with a drop of juice. No vapor to brag about. When I put the tips back on my 901's, I get plenty of vapor. I put them back on the 905 and get very little vapor. I get tons of vapor with my Janty Stick so I'm spoiled with that. (Even my Bartleby gives gobs of vapor.)

Well here is my opinion after vaping on it for about 6 hrs. I am still working on my first battery which is a very very long time for me. I did take a two hour break, which is rare for me, but even with that break the battery is lasting a long time.
The flavor is great. I found my pina colada and some root beer. I still have both of them because they just tasted too nasty in my 510. in the 905, you can really taste the flavor a lot better. I still don't know if I will finish the root beer or the pina colada because I have come to the conclusion that I just don't really like the fruity or candy like flavors very much. But if I was into the sweet flavors, I would have to recommend the 905 over the 510.
The amount of vapor has increased over the last few hours. I guess you have to break these atty's in before they will fully perform well. It's still not quite as good as the 510, but it's pretty damn close.
The throat and lung hit are not near as much as the 510 even though the amount is similar. I can take a direct inhale for about 15 seconds and still dont come close to choking. It seems like there is a cutoff around 15 seconds, so that is the most I can get out of it.
The only down side to the 905 that I can see at this point is the on/off switch. I have accidentally hit a a couple of times and turned it off. It's not that big of a deal to just turn it back on, but it would probably be better if it were not there.
Oh bummer, my first battery finally went dead. So, I pull the other one out of the charger and put the dead one in the charger. I put the fully charged battery in the 905 and guess what??? The damn battery is no good. I put the other battery back in just to make sure it is not the 905 and it works.
One bad battery I guess. Anyone know if radio shack or fry's carries these kind of batteries? I'm sure I can send it back to my vendor and get a replacement, but thats more of a hassle than just getting a new one at fry's or something like that.

I have had the same problem with the included 901 atty that came with the 905. I also ordered the 510 adapter with mine - with the 510 atty the 905 is awesome, serious vapor and throat hit. Also as others have mentioned, with the 905, the 510 cart does not need to keep being topped off - it produces vapor until it is dry. Not sure why the mod makes this happen, but it has been my experience.
After reading other comments here about the 901 atty, I decided to give it another go yesterday. After using it for a few hours, it seems to have "kicked in" and is now producing much more vapor, very close to the 510 atty, so I suppose the 901 atty needs to be "broken in"? That being said, the throat hit is still less with the 901.

OK, so I finally logged into ecf after about a week of working my backside off and I wanted to post what I have found with my almost new DSE905.
I have been using the 905 for about 10 days now. The good news is that the batteries last almost all day. They still work in the evening, but I can tell that there is a drop in the voltage. The vapor production drops way off even though there is still enough power to light up the led.
One of the batteries was DOA and the 905 started to run while I was not using it causing the atty to get really hot. I called azsmokefree and he sent me out a replacement battery and a new 905 body. The day after he shipped them, the other battery died. Now I have to get a replacement for that battery as well.
I did receive the new 905 body and battery and all is well now. Vapor production is still good, but not as much as my 510. I think I'll have to get an adapter so I can use my 510 atty's on it. The batteries are pretty crappy, but I suppose they are just junky Chinese batteries. I think I'll order some made in the USA batteries from a local supplier. I do love how long the batteries last though. I can start my day at 8:00 am and know that it will last me at least till I get home. Unfortunately I only have one battery right now, so I have to resort to using my 510 in the evening.
Maybe I'll just bore out the inside of the body and use some rcr123 batteries for a full 6v. I have heard that a few other guys have done that and they seem to love it. Plus I think two rcr123 batteries will probably last at least twice as long.
I like this unit, but the funny thing seems to be that no matter what model of e-cig you get, there are always mods to be made once you get them.
