I will do a quick one here.

I hated it. It tasted awful and it just did not feel right.

BUT!!!!!!

It got better, and better and better. For the last few days I have been smoking it non stop because my 901 only has one battery right now. I would run my 901 down and then pick up the cigar. After a couple days the taste got better and better.

Today I was topping off with coffee flavor and bang the coffee taste jumped out at me. It was so smooth and rich. The thing I did not even notice was the battery was lasting a really long time. I went out today and chewed on it all day with one battery. Then I popped another battery in just for the heck of it and it exploded with flavor which was what got me to do this review.

It is now working so well Im afraid to over use it out of fear I might kill it.

The draw is like air, almost no resistance.
The flavor is getting there, could be hotter, but the flavor at least is there.
The vapor volume is huge
The throat hit is a monster

It feels good in your hand and is light enough to hold in your teeth.
It has a screw in mouth piece so it wont slip out. The cart is a monster compared to a mini. It needs topping off more often than you would think. 4 drops fills the top off even though there is plenty left in the cart. It does not make it to the atomizer fast enough, so top offs are required if you are using it allot like me. Other wise stand it up and let the fluid seep down during breaks.

The thing works every time I pick it up. My resistance to it was simply because of the flavor. I thought I had worked off the primer the first day and apparently I did not. I was really surprised today when it just suddenly started to work really well.

So if you get one, give it a few days to work in.
Purchased from LITECIG USA for $39.95
Ive had it for over 2 weeks now

Thank you. Great review. I'm leaning toward getting a cigar and your review will help me to decide. I really identified with the way you opened by saying: I hated it.

I completely identify because when I started to use my my 901 mini, I absolutely hated it. Hated the tiny air hole most of all. It underperformed in every way compared to my penstyle. Circumstance caused to me to use it some here, some there - and next thing I know I'm in love with the damn thing!

Don't know if it was a break-in period or just a learning curve, but it's little champ. My go-to device. Anyway, nice review.

Every ecig I have has had a break in time. They are all different, but you forget that a 901 atomizer is smaller thus less primer in it. So when you are trying a new cig you should give it a chance.
The same happened with my supermini 306a from litecigusa. I hated it, and then I worked it in and it have an nice flavor. The only reason I still don't prefer it is because of the 2 second thing on the battery. I look like im sucking a milk shake when I use the supermini.

I am so freaking OD'd right now because of the cigar its not even funny. It is just to powerful for the amount of reach and drag I subconsciously do.
Gonna have to go down in nic.

My litecig 901 is great, but I have to agree that the primer tastes...well not all that good ;). Shawn is a good dealer and deals with any questions or concerns quickly.

Now as far as standing it up to let the liquid run into the atomizer...Is that a good idea? I store my laying down so that no liquid runs into the hole in the battery. Am I being a worry wart?

A while ago I posted that leaving the e-cig laying down was the proper way to store it. I was saying this based on a DSE901 and using the drip method. On the cigar it only applies if you are dripping because you are putting the liquid directly in the atomizer and there is no need to stand it up.

The reason most of us drip apart from getting better flavor is because the carts dont always deliver the juice as fast as we need it. The Cigar is no different. Despite having a large cart, the cigar suffers from the same problem all e-cigs suffer from and that is the delivery of liquid is slow to seep through the mesh in the cart.

I really wanted to use the cart on the cigar because it is huge, but I ended up dripping any way. I have no problem dripping, because it ensures that I get good flavor and vapor and I can keep track of liquid usage.
 
I have a e-cigar from puresmoker.com & it is by far my favorite.

Great throat hit & vapor is cool, not overly warm like you get from the 801 or 901.

Is a great cig for just sitting around puffing if you have the time.

For first thing in the morning, I prefer the 901, seems to give a little more "kick", but I quickly switch to the cigar for most of the rest of the day.
